179 Days to Go: $1 Remake
I simply couldn’t resist this piece when I found it a little while back for a buck at the local pile sale.
(Little sidenote…in case you’re wondering, I shot a whole lotta pieces at the old house before my parents left. Tried to stock up before I find my new ‘before’ location which is currently being scouted
I was completely addicted to the colors and the fun print, and it fit!!
Day 179 - Before
I wasn’t into the length but I thought with one easy change this would become my new favorite pre-summer dress.
Countdown Begins! 180 Days to Go: Hadassah’s NDAD Creation
Let the countdown begin!! New posts happening each day until the book comes out on 10/17. Around the interwebs world in (1)80 days!!
Today’s piece comes from my gal Hadassah. She remade one of my favorite pieces…
I’ve been following your work since you started, and I must say, you are amazing! A few months ago you remade some shoes by covering them in googly-eyes and as soon as I saw them, I wanted to do the same.
Here are the shoes – the Christian Louboutin slingbacks… (Refresher HERE!)
$1595 Christian Loubouton Slingbacks
My version for 99% off the retail price…
My $15 Version
I got the shoes…

…and was able to do my own version!
New Site, New Look, Same Marisa
Hi friends! The site is up and running! Woo hoo
I'm so excited you can't see my hands!
We’re still working through a few things that will come over the next week or so, but we’ve got new categories to pull from, new background (which happens to be fabric from one of the dresses in the book), new font, new buttons (Pinterest!)…
And, we’re going back to daily blogging, counting down until the book release…10-17-12!!! Yippee!!
In addition to remaking the pieces that you’ve sent my way, there are going to be dollar days, more designer copycats, tutorials (I know I said that last year, but the book got in the way!), giveaways, other crafters/etsy sites/thrift stores that I love, your amazing creations, and a few other tricks up my sleeve. (PS, my sleeve is pretty puffy with all the stuff I’ve stuck up it…)
We’re rocking and rolling on the third year and I can’t wait to get started. Let the book countdown begin!
Site Revamp!!
Hey all! Just wanted to give a little update – NDAD is going to be down tomorrow for some facelifting!! Woo!! I know I’m in LA but I promise I’m not gonna go crazy with lipo/botox…just sticking to the au naturel, facial/exfoliation route.
While the site will be down getting some fun new tweaks…
Amazing maintenance shot from Mr. Tots
…follow me over to Facebook and Twitter where I’ll be doing some giveaways throughout the day in the interim. You know, like a little Grand Opening celebration before the big reveal
I’m really excited for the changes and hope that you’ll enjoy too!! New site, new posts…lots of fun stuff on the horizon.
Week 2: Sarah & Tracey
Today’s offering was a joint sent which I love!
Dear Marisa – Recently my friend Tracey was given several HUGE bags of clothes to do with as she wished, and graciously shared them with me. Since very little of the clothing was in either of our sizes, most of it was ravaged
The yellow house dress (at least that’s what it MIGHT be!), I have to admit, is coming to you because I can’t fathom even you being able to salvage it
Keep up the good work! Sarah L and Tracey!”
Week 2: Sarah (& Tracey) - Before
I love that this was a team effort! Nothing is more fantastic than getting together with friends to sift through donated goods, laughing about the ridiculousness in some of the pieces, and then sending me the remnants. You girls go!
