This past week I was invited to host a denim workshop for an event being held at Topshop in San Diego.

If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (un: fashionlush, FYI), you already got a sneak peak of all the happenings. If not, no sweat, that’s what the blog is for!

I had so so so much fun working with one of my favorite brands (seriously though, Topshop is always on point!), meeting a ton of awesome people, & showing everyone how to give jeans a fancy lil’ facelift.

See below for the total Topshop Denim Workshop photo diary + two rad ways to breathe life into your boring old jeans :).

Happy Friday!

HOW TO: PEARL EMBELLISHEMENTS

+ flat back pearls

+ E600 glue

+ optional: this amazing tool that picks up your pearls & keep your mani glue-free


1. Make a plan by placing your pearls where you want them.

2. Pick up the pearl using the jewel setter tool & add a dab of glue on the back.

3. Position the pearl back where you want it.

4. Let dry for an hour.

HOW TO: FABRIC POCKETS

+ fabric of your liking, I personally am really into floral, polka dots, plaid, or animal prints.

fabric glue

+ fabric scissors


1. Trace the shape of your pocket onto a piece of paper, then cut it out on card stock for sturdy templates such as mine above.

2. Using a bull dog clip, secure your fabric to your template & cut out the shape.

3. Outline the underside of the fabric pocket you just cut out with fabric glue.

4. Press down on top of the pocket & let dry fully.
