Behind the Seams: An SF Screen-Printing Party

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 06:50:22 -0700

Since you outfitted me for my screen-printing party, it's high time you saw the party in its DIY glory. At San Francisco's Workshop, a few friends and I gathered for an evening of paint, beer, and creativity. A DJ provided slick tunes, while Annabelle made a friend. The popular motifs were the tiger (I jumped on the turquoise for my heather gray tank), nature-inspired trees and birds, the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can, the glasses, and the repetitive word F*CK. Favorite colors were turquoise, hot pink, neon yellow, black, and gold. It's a good thing I don't have a screen printer at home, I'd be a total addict. But for one night, it was completely inspiring. Check it out.

Mix Your Own Marc Jacobs Manicures

BellaSugar — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:01:06 -0800

At the Marc Jacobs show, models sported not one, not two, but five different manicure styles. Created by CND's Roxanne Valinoti (with Elisa Ferri), the five hand-mixed, custom-blended colors ranged from brownish gray to lavender-tinged beige. As is the case with all things Marc, the color palette is bound to set trends. If you just can't wait until fall to wear the look, check out the exact "recipe" you'll need to mix up each of the runway polish colors for yourself. All polishes are from CND.

Roundup: Easy Dresser DIYs

CasaSugar — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 09:00:29 -0800

I recently bought a dresser off of Craigslist to use in my soon-to-arrive babe's nursery. The dresser is solid oak, over 100 years old, and in great shape. However, I'm looking to add a little oomph to the dresser's look. I've been considering simply adding some awesome hardware, but as I've researched the possibilities, I've also come across some tempting DIY projects. If you have a dresser that could use some adornment, check out this slideshow for inspiration!

How to Prep Chicken Wings For Appetizers

YumSugar — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:50:46 -0800

I'm getting excited for the big game and I decided to schedule a buffalo wing practice run. It's my first time making wings from scratch, so I skipped the grocery aisle in favor of some quality time with my local butcher. Rather than waiting for him to break down the wings, I asked the butcher to show me how to cut up the chicken wings myself. Breaking down chicken wings isn't the easiest, but it's not that challenging, either. Learn how to prep them now.

I love the white twinkle lights. But I cannot figure out a good thing to do with them in my new apartment that does not make it look like a college dorm room. Do you have any tips for me? Thank you in advance!
