DIY: Jewelry Box

 
Hello crafty girls!! 

So this is literally the easiest DIY ever because you don't have to do anything, just accept sweet little gifts from the fellas ;-) haha! Whether it's a box of delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolates or the beautiful Valentines day sweets, the boxes all make perfect earrings and ring holders!! On some boxes you can even remove the bottom where the chocolates were, and have enough space for any jewelry piece you want! Ahhh why can't everything in life be this sweet ;-). Happy crafting

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!! ♥

April Nail of the Month: Animal Instincts


Hands down (pun intended  ha!) I had to give the Nail of the Month mention to my lovely little sister! Are these just not the cutest!?! It is a girly and colorful interpretation of a zebra print in red and hot pink! She used the stamping nail art kit (yes yet again). What can I say, it is our new little obsession. But why spend a lot of money on a salon manicure while you can make gorgeous, salon quality designs at home, and fast! But I promise the nail of the month for May (which is what I am rocking right now) is more simple and without the stamping nail art kit. So I hope our designs serve as inspiration for you to have some fun with your nails, because they are also a great accessory! Happy crafting :-)

Fall Fashion Essentials & How to Wear Them






Now that the weather is a little bit chillier, everyone is starting to realize that maybe it’s time to go fall shopping. There are so many different trends that it can get overwhelming! So the question is; what should you buy that will last and not go out of style by next fall? I have made a list of the top fall fashion essentials that are perfect pieces to layer and combine to create beautiful outfits, that won’t break the piggy bank! Plus most importantly, they won’t go out of style!
♥  Long sleeve tees: They are inexpensive and if you buy them in several fun colors, they will give your outfit that needed pop of color to brighten you up this fall! You can wear them solo or use them for layering, they are very versatile!

♥  Accessories: Jewelry, belts, and scarfs are the most inexpensive way to jazz up an outfit. They turn your outfit from BLAH to WOW in an instance!

♥  Outerwear: Such as jackets and blazers not only keep you warm, but transform your outfit. Try a fitted jacket and blazer for a slimming effect, because it is very easy to add pounds with fall fashion.

♥  Dark wash jeans: I recommend these to everyone because they are absolutely amazing! They make your legs look longer and leaner, need I say more?! They also instantly dress up your outfit, opposed to a lighter wash jean. Try a trouser or boot cut jean, they are the most flattering on every body type. Also try a dark wash skinny jean. *Tip* Make sure it’s solid, not bleached nor faded, for a maximizing slimming effect.

♥  Sweaters: They are warm and cozy, and they come in hundreds of styles! Whether it’s a chunky knit sweater, cardigan, cable knit, pullover; any kind of sweater is perfect for fall! Sweaters come in any price range, and add comfort and warmth to an outfit.

♥  Boots, boots, and more boots: A girl can never have too many boots! Right now in fashion, shoe styles are very wide-ranging, and you can find just about any style out there. If you want to make an investment that will last I suggest a leather boot because they will last many years, unlike a synthetic boot that will peel in short time. Also, pick a style of boot that is timeless and doesn’t go out of style. For example, stay away from thigh high, extreme platform, and peep toe boots.
Hopefully this list of essentials help you start a shopping list. If you want to see how I style all the essential pieces together, check out the video below! Have fun shopping !
