You know how when you’re looking for something in a thrift store, you can never find it? Even something that seemed ubiquitous before suddenly becomes scarce once you want it. That’s how it was for me and slow-cookers/crock pots. I decided it would be really nice to have one, and of course they were nowhere […]
Getting in the Mood for Spring: Orla Kiely
You can always count on Orla Kiely for two things: adorable dresses, and divine color combinations. The RTW spring/summer 2013 line is no exception, with pairings like cherry red with petal pink, and bright yellow with mint or blue. Although the handbags are more plain than usual (and I’m not a fan of the shorts), […]
DIY Mint Rhinestone Necklace Makeover
Yesterday I decided to give one of my necklaces a makeover. Previously I painted this rhinestone necklace with neon nail polish, but I removed the paint with nail polish remover (it came right off!), and gave it a coat of mint. If the color looks familiar, it’s the same one I used to paint these […]

Fashionist is based on San Francisco, and The Sartorialist is based in New York City, and you could argue that […]
Links I Like
Love this great idea to blow up a strip of photobooth pictures. I definitely need to make some of this grapefruit sangria soon. Martha Stewart’s take on neon jewelry is super fun. Not enough neon for you? Okay, here’s a little bit more. These neon-trimmed purses would be a great spring accessory. The uses for […]
DIY Natural Moth Repellent Sachets
It’s nearing that time of year when you’ll be able to store away your winter coats and wool sweaters and not think about them again until next winter. Before you stuff them into storage, though, consider adding a few of these anti-moth sachets to help protect your clothes from hungry moths. Because there’s nothing worse […]

I’ve got a couple of fun little projects I can’t wait to share! Just thought I’d give you a little sneak peek.
Tutorial: Rhinestone Ear Cuff
Last week I posted about rhinestone ear cuffs, and after a lot of experimentation, I figured out how to make my own version. I have to warn you, though, that even in casual clothing, wearing one of these may make you feel like a princess. I’ll show you how to make the one above, but […]
