When creating their Sicily-inspired S/S 13 collection, no detail was too small for designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. You could see the Italian island’s rich and vibrant culture in everything from street theater puppet prints to brightly hued crochet wedges. Even the collection’s crowd-pleasing jewelry, most notably the Clip On Pom Pom Raffia Earrings ($565), nodded to the brand’s Mediterranean theme. While we’re not in the print-making business and haven’t crocheted any shoes lately, we had a hunch we could create our own version of the mixed-media earrings–with a little help from D.I.Y. expert Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This, that is!
-Forever 21 Filigree Drop Earrings ($4)
-Raffia Ribbon ($13/yard spool) in Red, Yellow, Navy, and Orange
-Assorted Beads and Stones (Erica used a mix ofwooden beads ($0.01 per bead), rose quartz stone ($7 per strand), and lapis stones ($8 per strand))
-Pom Poms ($11) in assorted colors
-Gold Wire ($7)
-4mm Jump Rings ($0.05 for 100)
-Pliers ($8)
Filigree Drop Earrings ($4), Raffia Ribbon ($13),wooden beads ($0.01), rose quartz ($7) lapis stone ($8), Assorted Color Pom Poms ($11), 30-Gauge Silver Plated Gold Wire ($7), 4mm Jump Rings ($.05) Beadsmith ($8)
Use pliers to attach jump rings to the bottom of the filigree earrings.
Cut the raffia ribbon into strips that are approximately four to six inches long. You will want a mix of colors for each jump ring. Create a tassel by stringing the ribbons through the jump ring and then fold in half at the center. Erica used three ribbon strips (one for each color) for the two outer tassels and nine (three for each color) for the center. Using another piece of ribbon, tie a knot around the top of each tassel to secure the strips.
String an assortment of beads and pom poms onto a piece of gold wire and loop through the earring. Twist and knot the wire to secure it onto the earring.
Perfect for you next BBQ, pair these statement earrings with a little denim dress and sandals. Just be sure to keep them in the spotlight by pulling your hair back into a sleek updo.
Black Balance Media, the group that brought us the lovely gem know as Pirated Fashion, is back with another project called The Freedom Project.
The goal is to “explore the general public’s understanding of the First Amendment and sit down with members of the North Carolina legal community to answer questions and dispel misconceptions on ‘freedom’ in the United States.”
So the question is “Do You Know Your Freedoms?”
Check out Part 1 of their research
And Part 2

Target just announced their latest collaboration… with designer Phillip Lim! And while some of their more recent collabs have received a lukewarm response from customers and editors alike, Lim’s legitimacy within the fashion world has everyone riled up. As Racked pointed out this morning, the line ”revives collab excitement,” after a downward trend in the public’s interest in high-low collections.
According Target’s blog, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target will include 100+ pieces ranging from bags to shoes to travel accessories and men’s and women’s apparel. The limited edition collection will hit Target stores and online September 15th, and is priced $19.99-$299.99 – “with most items under $49.99.” Oh happy day!
For a sneak peek of the collection, watch Target’s teaser video here:
