| Shopping Guide: Joie Silk Blouse from Bergdorf Goodman Balenciaga Classic First Tote from Barney’s Kenneth Jay Lane Giraffe Bracelet from Endless Diane von Furstenberg Leaves Pants from Shopbop CZ Diamond Studs from Nordstrom Nude Patent Heels from Piperlime (DIY tutorial here) |
Pants designed by one of the most iconic women’s fashion designers in the world. Heels spray painted by an optimist and a Yorkie in a cardboard box. This is how Gwyneth and I do high/low style. And now that we’ve got our own copy of I Spy DIY Style, we’re sure to have a few new ideas to throw into the mix soon.
Gwyneth and I have been following and loving Jenni Radosevich’s blog, I Spy DIY, for a while. She takes everything you learned about fashion from watching The Devil Wears Prada and proves it wrong. She proves that fashion can, in fact, be friendly, accessible and affordable. (Side note: we mean no disrespect to The Devil Wears Prada. It will forever be a favorite of ours!)
So meeting Jenni at the launch party for her new book, I Spy DIY Style, was a true treat! I just barely remembered my manners and started with a “congratulations” before begging for details on when she’d be posting a tutorial for the skirt she was wearing.
Jenny and host Coach definitely know how to throw a party for those of us who love to create. With a variety of stations, they had ways for us to get a DIY fix – even before we all got home with our new books. I made a custom bookmark, and with a few easy steps, you can too. We’ll definitely be making a few more – these would make fantastic small gifts.
if/when I come to NYC you have to let me borrow the pants! Also, Im so jeal you were at that event last night- amazing pictures!!!
Change that “if” to a “when,” and you have a deal! I wish you could have been there too!! This book has so many ideas that are right up your alley!

The DVF pants look amazing on you. May I please know if you got them true to size or did you go a size down?
Thank you! I got them true to size. They fit like a dream. Have fun shopping!

That Python jewelry box is fabulous, does anyone have ANY idea where to find one? Preferably embossed
Hi Rachel! The python jewelry box is from Coach! I know they sell them in stores! But Pottery Barn also has a line of jewelry boxes in a variety of sizes – I have the medium-sized one and love it! Good luck!
