So on the Free People website, there is a video that will totally change the way you see your closet. Now before I ramble on about the amazing video, I have to tell you something else amazing. On the homepage it's all like Pack Lightly and it shows 12 pieces and 8 different outfits you can make with them and I was just like Whoa, that is ah-maze-ing! So anyway once you look at that for awhile, go to the New Looks tab and on the left-hand side click on Changing Room. Watch the entire video, and you might cry you are so happy. I'm telling you, it will really change your oh-so-stylish life : )

CIRCA Psychedelic Dress

Ok, so I was just browsing on Suburban Blend, and I found this baby!! It's really cool because you can beach it, blouse it, and dress it. It's so light and bright that you can pull off using it as a coverup on the beach! And seriously, how amazing would that look with a hot pink bikini?!! Also, to give it a blousy laid back vibe, you can layer it with some shirts, sweaters or scarfs. Oh yea and some BIG jewelry! : ) To make it dressy, you can, well, wear it as intended! Make sure to bring out the beautiful shoes and some great earrings!! C'est chic a la plage, comme un chemise, et comme une robe!! C'est magnifique!!

Garage Sale Anyone?

So a few episodes ago on 90210, Annie and her family had a garage/yard sale. Of course Naomi thought it was tacky because she's never had or went to one her entire life. Maybe some people agree with her, but we don't. It has got to be one of the best ways to get rid of your old clothes. Not only will it leave you with all your cool clothes and no out of style ones and a cleaner closet, it will also leave you with money to buy new clothes. Yayy!! My family just had one and let me tell you, my closet looks sooo much better. Even my room benefitted! I got rid of old books for more room on my bookshelf for books like Like I Give a Frock and I got rid of some old jewelry. And the garage sale is also reason for my parents to bring out their old stuff. An 80s dress anyone? Sometimes I'm in heaven in all our old crap : ) Plus, I found these two old pictures from our old house and I really want to paint the frames and put them in my room. They're amazingly perfect! And then you can donate what you don't sell to your church or local thrift store or shelter!

Levi's Plaid Straw Fedora $14 Kohls

Jewelry Switch Up

ok so i am obsessed with jewelry.To add a new spin on a peice you've worn over and over again, pair it with something way different. Come up with a super amazing outfit and pair it wih the reserved stuff that you don't wear as much. Switch up the peices too. I.E. a necklace can easily be turned into bracelet. Just wrap it aound your wrist. I mean really, its that simple. If you have the type of bracelet that latches and unlatches, you can connect a bunch to make a long necklace or belt. Also, turn rings into long earrings by stringing them on wire. Here's a neat trick: if you have any skinny belts, wrap them around your feet and ankels before you put your shoe on. You can go for that ballet slipper kind of look or you can put your own spin on the way you wrap it.

This stuff's from Fred Flare

Omg so that doily thing is totally like my older DIY bangle post!! We are totally gonna do that and tell you guys about it! Yay doilies! Oh and ohmigod. Guess what! I just subscribed to Threadbangers DIY podcast and I am so excited about it. There is this one project where you fuse together plastic grocery bags and make a laptop case but I'm making a shopping tote and bulletin board instead! It'll be awesome! And don't worry, I'll tell you guys all about it! And when I find other cool projects while watching it, I'll be sure to fill you in : )

OK so THIS is what I wanted to put on the weekly everything in one!! These are Club Monaco belts. mmmmmmm droollll!!! They are $49 each which is a little expensive, but so entirely worth it!! But if your looking for something more affordable, this type of skinny belt is all over the place! If you look hard enough, you can find a classic thin belt for a steal!

OK so these shoes are pretty cool, huh? They are $29.50 from Pac Sun. But instead of buying these, you can take inspiration and totally DIY!! For example, The curved thing on the sole reminds me of a doiley.

Doileys come in all sorts of colors, shapes and sizes. So, you could take a bunch of great decorative doileys to add a small embelishment to your sneakers or even to a headband or bangle. (a great way to dress up a plain bangle). C'est tres chouette!!!

WEEKLY: Everything in One
Curvy or Classy

Apt. 9 Circle Chain Belt

$22.00

apt. 9 Circle-Chain Belt

This chic belt can be used as a belt on a pair of bright skinnies. Also, you can wear it over a layering of tops to give a curve hugging cinch. This gives the effect of the hourglass shape you always wanted. But, you can wrap this around wrist or ankel to create a more classic flair.
This is a smart investment, cause if you get the right size, you might never outgrow it! And, I bet if you look over your wardrobe, you could be creative and invent several new ways to wear it! If you don't like this specific style of belt, you could go for one of those super-amazing metallic thin belts that do the same trick!! (I was trying to post one of THOSE on, but yet again, computer is being a jerk). But this one's cool too!
