Guess What!

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!

Hannah White Sandal

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!!!

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!

Like I Give a Frock

So my book came yesterday and you can imagine how happy I was. Like I was so excited to look at it. But I was looking at the cover and guess what! It said Fashion Forecasts and I was like Oh no you didn't!! Cause I have a post called Fashion Forecast that Ronni and I totally came up with it ourselves! But besides that I love the book : )

Check It Out: Inspiration : )

So I am extra happy with my outfit today : ) 
Pants: Hollister (like $40)
Tunic: TJ Max (like $15) (Billabong) 
Flower Belt: American Eagle ($24)
Other Belt (can kinda see it): Came with pants
Shoes (Hot!): Nine West (idk Mom's)
Well as you can see this outfit did not cost that much and to tell you the truth, its things that I don't really wear a lot. Weird, cause they are just so cute! I guess it's cause the tunic is actually really big and flowy without the belts. Like, really big. And I really don't now why I don't wear the pants. It's a crime I tell you! I'll definitely be wearing them more : ) But anyway, sadly I did not come up with this outfit on my own. I was really lacking creative juices this morning so I went to my handy dandy bible (Teen Vogue) for an idea....

Now I know these outfits are way cooler but still, I found stuff like it without spending any money : )

Closet Cleanout

Ever looked in your completely full closet and said to yourself, "I have nothing to wear"? Well that can be easily fixed. Let me tell you the secret. Take a break from your scheldule on a weekend or in summer to go through all your clothes.Just take them out and you'll be surprised what you find. We often wear the things we like most, the most often. Therefore, these things are at the front of your closet in plain sight. The things we dont wear as much are hidden. When you empty out your closet though, you'll be able to look at all your clothes and probably come up with some great ideas. Get rid of the stuff that doesnt fit you any more and rotate the stuff you "ignore" to the front of your closet. Pair these things with some great new accesories and BAM!! great new wardrobe without even spending a penny. You're organizing your closet, getting rid of the stuff that doesnt fit, getting more amazing outfits to wear, and saving money all at the same time!!!! So there the secret's out.

Double dutch or Dinner Party

Roxy Daphne Sandals--www.pacsun.com
$24.50 buy one get one 50%

Hey, my computer is choosing to be dum and wont let me paste a pic of these amazing shoes on the post, but trust me they are ahmazing!!
They are purple and strappy and have gold accents, such as on the buckle and heel. They're like a cross between a flip-flop and a on-the-runway kind of sandal.
So, they are just the thing for a great dinner party, or a fun double dutch with some friends. Pair them with lots of crazy stuff to mix it up a bit and really show off your inner diva. Never thought that one pair of shoes could do that for you, huh? Oh yes my friends. Oh yes they can.

Mix Matching

Its OK to not match : )

I've always been about dressing to fit your mood. And whenever I'm bummed, I usually dress better than usual... and feel better! But there are always those days where you aren't quite sure about what's going on in your brain and nothing seems right. Well this post was inspired by my outfit today which I admit had a lot going on, but that's OK. And I stopped feeling like such a dork when Ronni assured me that it was fabulous. But anyway, whether its a lot of patterns, too many colors, crazy funky eyeshadow with a too crazy funky outfit, or your purse doesn't match your shoes (I hate matching them anyway), its fun to be crazy and mix it up : ) Maybe you just shouldn't match one day. Take a break and wear some stuff you haven't worn in awhile. It will be worth it one way or another!
