DIY on the Runway - Peplum Skirts

Like every good blogger around this time of year I've been busy trawling Style.com for the best runway shows, and for me its all about the DIY. I love the shows and the designs but what I really want to know if 'how the ef can I do this myself??!" Anyways, expletives aside, spotted these gorgeous peplum skirts in the Marc Jacobs and Preen NYFW shows and was immediately inspired to DIY. I am in the middle of making one as we speak so you'll see it shortly. How would you make yours?

DIY On the Streets of NYFW

I have to say that style on the streets of the fashion weeks always inspires me to DIY soooo much, its always so much more quirky, real and do-able than what you see in magazine spreads and on the runway. Don't let the relaxed nonchalance of the subjects fool you though, these outfits didn't happen over night. What you are seeing is the culmination of hours of outfit planning. I've trawled the net for some up to the minute streetstyle DIY inspiration. Enjoy!

Wrap a very long length of black chain around your neck like this, amazing update to any outfit.

 Ok so this Celine clutch is beyond amazing, head to your local stationary store and find an oversized neon pencil case. In fact oversized pencil case style clutches have been all over the street in NY in a whole range of colours. Go for it.

 This has just got to the the most perfect jeans length. I Die! Or something like that... Anyway, this DIY is pretty straightforward, scissors, opposable thumbs, jeans, done.

Love these snuggly mittens, take a regular pair of wool mittens and sew/glue some faux fur fabric onto the front. Perfect for keeping the winter chills out.

Another oversized pencilcase you say? Why yes! This one has a black tassel attached, thats not too difficult is it.
