We are SO excited to be a part of TXSC this year! We love fashion, we love blogging, we love Austin (!!!!) and we would love to meet some of you this summer. We are honored to be the keynote speakers this year as well as participating in a number of the fun events planned for the weekend. You can read more, see all the speakers, check out the schedule and sign up here. You totally should. It's the place to be. 🙂
And speaking of fashion, style, blogging and summer (seamless transition there, huh?) here are 10 of our favorite summer fashion DIYs. Enjoy!
1. We are still loving this simple horse print dress. Easy to make, fun to wear!
2. Made these DIY shorts 5 ways last summer, still wearing them this summer. 🙂
3. Spruce up some sneakers with a little paint to make them more you. Go on. Do it. 
4. Make your own embroidered blouse for your next summer vacation. 
5. Check here for instructions to make your own breezy lace back blouse. 
6. Learn to make this cute braided rope necklace. 
7. Make your own feather crown for a photo shoot or to wear to a special event, like a music festival.
8. We love this technique for bleaching painting on textiles. Add a quote to a tank top or t-shirt. 
9. Make your own simple bauble necklace to add a pop of color to an outfit. 
10. We are suckers for a cute floral crown. Here's one way to make an easy one at home. xo. Emma and Elsie

I’m not really a DIY kinda girl but I’m seriously considering to try to make the embroidered top! Too bad I live on the complete other side of the world, would have love to come!

Congrats! You both are wonderful. I love all of these ideas- it’s making me want to leave work early to craft!
Congrats! I so wish I could be there to hear you speak.
I want to try painting shoes and the DIY shorts. I need more shorts in my repertoire this summer.
Thanks for another lovely post, ABM!

The bleach painted tank! Love!
Oh, I love that floral crown. I have a gorgeous one I got from an Etsy seller, but it’s very autumny – would love to make myself something lighter and white.

I love all of these d.i. y. I can only wish that there was a blogger convention I could attend near me. Jealous of those lucky people in texas!!
All of these ideas are really sweet, I particularly like the lace back shirt and the horse printed dress
I keep meaning to print something of my own similar to that

Love the idea of the bleaching a quote onto a top and the sneakers. I remember seeing something like that when I was like 12 and bought a pair of white sneakers to do it with and never did. :L

Hi Elsie & Emma,
I couldn’t find your emails anywhere on the site, so I figured a comment would do. But I got a very disrespectful comment on my blog from someone pretending to be Elsie. I looked at the link, and it was even to a blog pretending to be you. I marked the comment as spam (luckily, I moderate my comments) however I did copy down the blog address and took a screen shot of the comment. I don’t feel comfortable putting a link to the blog on this comment, but if you email me I can send you the link, or if you comment on this comment and would prefer me to post it in a reply comment I can do that as well. Just thought you should be made aware.
On another note! Love this post!
xoxo

Oh goodness, sorry to post again but I clicked their profile and it led to a fake mugshot page. I also realized I forgot to post my email;

You guys have the best DIY! I can’t wait to get started!
What awesome DIY’s! I want to use some paint pens to decorate some tops, similar to your shoes. And I so want to find a bleach pen to write on some tops, too! The look is awesome, but I’m not too good painting words with a paintbrush
love bleaching painting on textiles
Thank you for all of your creative DIY’s on this blog! Definitely going to try out some this summer!
Great DIY! Love the floral crown and these painted sneakers! Can’t wait to try them!
Have a wonderful time! These tutorials are great (I love a good flower crown 😉
I love these summer outfits and your fabulous ideas!! Thanks for sharing them!
I’m also loving the idea of “glamping” for the summer. There’s a video about it on YouTube at http://youtu.be/3TW_K_-JatU and I’m looking forward to being glamorous while camping this summer!
