STYLE VIA DIY

I went shopping for a gift today at the Jonathan Adler store on the UES (Upper East Side) and was greeted by a cool girl named Holly.  I immediatly asked where she got her shirt because I noticed the little detail on the shoulder.  Shirt is H&M and studs ($10) Holly put on herself.  Yes, it took her 1 hour but it adds that “dressed up” feel to a shirt that cost $19.95.  …
