DIY Lace Panel Purse

Recreate the look with Kirsten's Lace Panel Purse tutorial:

How would you describe your style?

Edgy, but a bit girly. Or the other way around, perhaps? I love to mix fabrics such as leather and lace.

What's your favourite piece in your wardrobe?

My denim and leather jacket that I made for a Studs and Pearls project, in 2011. 

Who are your style icons?

Drew Barrymore and Alexa Chung.

Do you have any favourite designers?

Where are your favourite places to shop for new clothes clothes?

Thrift stores..always!

Do you make or customise your outfits?

I do, often. A majority of the items in my closet are embellished or handmade.

Do you have any great tips for mixing up and personalising an outfit?   

Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone with different combinations or outfits. You never know what you might come up with!
