DIY: Panja, or Back-of-the-Hand Jewelry
I became obsessed with making myself a Panja [i.e., back-of-the-hand jewelry piece] since seeing the above in Vogue October 2009. For all it's highbrow designer, impossible-to-make-yourself fashion spreads, once in awhile the magazine showcases an idea that's just...

Something this pink deserves to be paired with pieces that allow it to shine. As an anchor to this outfit, it's teeny and tight, so legs need to be matte, black, and look super-long with black lace-up booties. Topping things off with a DIY altered band jacket to add...
