Inspired by the super cute hair tie in my Summer Dreamin’ Sweet Ice Cream Cones post a few months ago, I’ve been DYING to make this simple little braided hair band and finally, near the end of Summer, I got around to doing it. Inspo… Unfortunately though, I did it based on memory instead of …
Sometimes just a little extra detail makes all the difference. I’ve been cutting up t-shirts since I was a kid {as many of you probably have too} but never quite like this. Mine frequently are of the slashed variety, like my open back t-shirt diy, but around the neckline and sleeves –which I mastered that …
According to my mom, my niece Delilah {who’s 4-1/2 years old now} is obsessed with putting on mini fashion shows after school, with her friend Bella… and while they alternate princess dresses “backstage” to walk down the “runway” and pose in, they sip apple juice just like the “real models” {which I can only assume …
Way back in 2009 after I made my DIY Petal Clutch Bag & DIY Petal Heels {using cut pieces of chiffon to create the petal affect} I found these white pre-made faux petals at the craft store and thought I’d try them out in similar DIYs but for wedding purposes instead. Alas, I never got …
Vintage {inspired} lace cut offs are an adorable bohemian summer fave, and there are tons of cute options to buy as well as a few fun DIYs to inspire, but I wanted to create my own that were just a little bit different from everything I’d seen and make them a bit longer as well. …
Back in the ’90s wearing men’s button down shirts with cut off jean shorts and over a bikini as a cover up was what we lived in during the summer. If we were heading to the beach or just hanging out in a backyard pool swimming and tanning all afternoon after school, we’d inevitably be …
Let’s face it, fugly sandals are hot for Summer 2014 (and now in 2020!). From chunky “pool” sandals and Birkenstocks, to Frankenstein flatforms, sport sandals and even fugly sporty slides, these “normcore” foot strap-ons are everywhere right now, and I can’t say that my feet are too upset about it. Why? Because they’re ridiculously comfortable …
A few months ago I stumbled upon a loose, oversized open back sweater with bows tied down the back and promptly put it on DIY to-do list… I saved it on my desktop for months but of course I can’t find the photo anywhere now and wonder why I didn’t add it to my DIY …
The other day after finishing up a sweater DIY I wanted a pretty hanger in which to display it on for the photo and quickly whipped this up in about five minutes. I’m sure it’s been done before, since it’s just so simple, but it was pretty enough to share and actually made a nice …
With an influx of styles reminiscent of the ’70s, ’90s, as well as a return of the bohemian flair in all things decor, rocks, crystals, and gemstones are rather trendy at the moment. But they’re also really expensive. If you want the look for decor purposes and not so much for the healing quality of …
I don’t know about you, but Mother’s Day completely snuck up on me this year! I can’t believe it’s this weekend! I think maybe if I was a mom myself, I’d be more aware of it, but alas, I am only a mama to puppies… which is good enough for me! But in case you …
I stumbled across these gorgeous sea glass and driftwood mobiles on Pinterest the other day and have not stopped thinking about them since. They are just so pretty and so clever and if you have access to sea glass, driftwood, & transparent nylon thread, a rather easy DIY as well. I’m not into taking money …
When I was about 19 years old, about one hundred years ago, I bought this vintage red silk duvet cover beautifully embroidered with flowers and birds from a friend who was an antique dealer for about $100. He said he was giving me a deal because this particular duvet cover once belonged to Billy Idol. …
Every one of the rooms upstairs as well as the long slanted hallway in our home was fitted with ugly brass “boob” ceiling lights, typical of apartments and rentals. And in a rental, I don’t mind them so much, but in my home, I can’t stand them. I’ve replaced most of them with new pendants …
Because I use my iPhone for a camera most of all, I ALWAYS want it handy. And I mean, like in my hand at all times. But of course, that’s impossible. Even just having to pull it in and out of a handbag or pocket is not fast enough for me sometimes to capture the …
