Ive Been Featured in Free Magazine! (and my DIY Alexander Wang Sunglasses)

Those of us stateside may not be familiar with Club 18-30, but for our friends across the pond it’s sort of known as Europe’s version of Club Med (except catering to a younger clientele, hence the name).  Free Magazine (published by Ink Publishing, London) is the official magazine of Club 18-30 – and I (and my DIY sunglasses!) have been featured in the Summer 2010 issue, which is available in all Club 18-30 destinations from May – October.  (In 10 countries – Bulgaria, Crete, Cyprus, Turkey, and Ibiza, for example.)

Unfortunately they spelled my name wrong (there’s no U in it) – but ohwell!  A feature’s a feature!

Can you guys read it?  If not, let me know – and I’ll relink a larger photo!

Since I submitted this in February, in the meantime Style Hurricane DIY’ed her own version using a real zipper around the edge of the sunglasses.  My version is a lot more labor-intensive, but I was going for as exact a copy as possible.:-)  Whichever way you go, now these fabulous designer-style sunnies can be yours at a fraction of the price!

Happy DIY’ing!

    Just to let you know I won't be one of those “friends” that become mysterious “sources” of “insider secrets”. You know when you get really famous… !!

    [and not that I know anything, I'm just being silly!]

    This is fabulous honey!! I'm really 'proud'* to see all this. I can see how hard you work and I like seeing these 'recognition rewards'.
    …I'm sure even Martha Stewart got spelled with 'u' at first!!

    *proud sounds possesive and a bit condescending but I hope you know what I mean by this.
