A plain T-shirt can be great when you feel like cleaning out your fridge, but if you have bigger plans, it might be time to shake it up a bit. And if you mix that plain tee with a worn-out blouse, you’ll have a winning combo for an all-new piece.

It’s nearing summer, which means sunglasses are no longer a fashion statement but a necessity. But let’s not let the personal style go. I picked up a pair of bedazzled shades in Mesa’s The Goods Store and decided to use a little inspiration to jazz up my own pair (and an equally necessary carrying case) by adding a healthy dose of cabochons, which can found in many stores on Etsy and at local crafty spots including SAS.

I have a new weekly feature at The Phoenix New Times Chow Bella called Food & Ink. I am eating and drinking and doing a drawing about it. Every single day for the next year.
Check it out Every Friday. Here is this weeks installment: Ribs and a Gin & Tonic at Hillstone
I will also place the individual drawings into my flickr set: Food & Ink
You know how sometimes when you pick up your laundry from the cleaners there is something that belongs to someone else stuck in the middle. And you intended to return it once you discovered the error but you kept forgetting to take it with you. Then a month went by and you thought about how embarrassed you were to return it and that they had probably paid the person for the missing shirt already so why bother. You have the guilty evidence hanging, still in the bag, in your closet and ask what should be done with it?
How about dyeing it to hide it’s original identity and then turning it into a mini-dress to wear with leggings.
