DIY: Customize your Cell Phone Case

Hello crafty girls!

Cell phones have turned into a major fashion accessory! I mean who doesn't have at least 2 cell phone cases? I know I do. As girls, we cannot stick to just one design. It's like wearing the same necklace or pair of shoes every single day, who does that!!? Our cell phone reflects our style and personality. And lets face it, we don't always feel like rainbows and butterflies. So here is an easy and inexpensive DIY project that you all will love! Also, did I forget to mention the designs are interchangeable? Yup, you only need one case for infinite designs! How did I not think of this before? It is so simple, it's just a matter of tracing the cell phone case onto scrapbook paper, cutting it out, and applying it to the inside of the case! Easy right?! I also added a video below to help you visualize it ;-). I hope you all enjoyed this extremely easy DIY project and have fun rocking your awesome cell phone designs! Happy crafting ♥

DIY: Decorate Your Shoes

Hello crafty girls! I'm so excited about this new DIY because it is very dear to me. Why is that you might ask? Well, this is THE project that made me decide to actually start a blog and a YouTube channel! So why did it take me so long to make and post it? Well I'm such a perfectionist and now with more experience and savvy technical skills acquired, I was finally able to make the video I envisioned!! So I hope you all enjoy it!

Decorating and personalizing your shoes is much simpler than you might think! With just a little bit of creativity you can make infinite designs that will wow your friends! You will get allot of, "Where did you get your shoes"? Then you can proudly respond, "Oh these, I designed them myself ;-)".  Awesome right!? It is also a great project for summer because let's face it, going back to school is all about new shoes, clothes, supplies, etc. So why not get a head start on a pair (or two) of newly designed shoes right?! I hope you try it out and have a crafty summer!! ♥

This is officially my first OOTD and I am pretty excited....and nervous! It's probably my favorite thing to see in blogs, so I decided what the heck lets try it!

So I hope I inspire you all to not be scared to dress up and feel beautiful in your own skin! I'll also share my flattering secrets to look your best and not break the bank!! So stay tuned for more fashion and crafts!! 

As you can tell I had some fun playing with the background...it's the ARTSY girl in me! And that is what fashion is all about too!

What I wore:

Nicole Miller New York tee

February Nail of the Month: Sexy Lace

Instead of going CUTESY and LITERAL with hearts everywhere, I chose a sexy little number in LACE ;-). Don't forget to be creative and have fun with your nail designs! I created this look using my beloved Stamping Nail Art kit!

DIY Manicure Using Stamping Nail Art!

I bought this new AWESOME "thing" for making super easy and fast mani/pedi designs. It's so amazing I had to share it all with you! I actually saw an infomercial for this and searched online. I was skeptical with the idea of "stamping" designs onto your nail, but it works like a charm! I actually bought my supplies on eBay and they were fairly inexpensive! If you are interested here is the name of the seller that I got my supplies from, which I am recommending because it is excellent quality and arrived fast!(Seller: xxkaraxx) The best thing is that you can use your own nail polish! You can buy everything separately if it's cheaper (like I did). So shop around! If you are buying everything separately make sure you get ALL these supplies, which are the stamping nail art plates and the stamping nail art stamper and scraper(sold together).

So check out the instructional video I made to see what my hype is all about (haha).

To answer my tip on applying clear nail polish over the design, make sure you wait a while, like a few hours. If you can apply it the next day, even better!

This manicure "miracle" has inspired me to start a "nail design of the month" segments coming up!Yeyy!

DIY: Easy Necklace Ideas

A girl could never have too much jewelry. We all love accessories because they turn our outfits from BLAH to WOW, instantly. Did you know that there are many unconventional items you can use to make jewelry too, that you most likely have lying around your house? You can use items like key chains and pins/brooches. You can even use fruit loops or popcorn, like we did when we were kids, and then have a snack for later HA! Well, maybe not the food, but you get the point! Let your creativity flow and find new uses for things that you have lying around, recycle, and create! Check out the video below to see how to do this and for inspiration. Happy Crafting ♥
