Merry Christmas Eve all! Before I head off to hang out with the family, just wanted to quick post the tote I will be carrying all my gifts in on Xmas. This reversible tote is pretty much the best, but the white side was just asking to be jazzed up. With leather paint, I started drawing on triangles, giving it a graphic makeover, and then for a little pop of color, filled in a few with neon yellow and silver. Pack it with your gifts and critters gloves and you are ready for the holidays! Steps and supplies after the break.

Also, A couple of weeks ago I did a super fun shoot with American Express for a few holiDIYs. First up, we partnered up with Nike to show you a few more ways to wrap these great gifts. I totally love those boots, I can’t wait for the first snow to wear them, a must-purchase with a Nike gift card, redeemed with Membership Reward points! Next up, a few last-minute holiday party outfits, check out the festive day-to-night ideas I helped create when I partnered with Banana Republic. They are sure to dazzle! Learn how to use #MembershipRewards points to redeem a Banana Republic gift card for holiday shopping here! Happy Holidays!

    This is so cool! I love how simple it is (although I’d probably manage to mess it up somehow because my creativity levels for DIY projects is below acceptable!)

    I thought you had made the bag yourself at first, was super impressed and ready to copy haha.
    Still you’ve turned something plain in to something fashionable and I love it.

    Not sure about the triangles, but I love the idea! I have a leather purse which needs an update. I had no idea you could paint it! Does the colors stay on well?

    Love,
