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 […]
Outfit Post: Fierce
I guess a messy braid and fringed suede booties are pretty bohemian, which is normally not my style. But I tried to toughen them up with my tigress shirt (yeah, I’ve decided it’s a lady tiger), and skinny jeans. This t-shirt is one of the few I wear regularly, and definitely a favorite. Why is […]

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 […]

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

These clay egg planters would be perfect for a spring/Easter get-together. Colette patterns launched an adorable new shift dress pattern this week. It’s especially awesome because of the many different variations and customization options, instructions for which you can download for free, even if you don’t buy the pattern. Need a new bag? This minimalist […]
Fun with Washi Tape
Today I played around with washi tape a bit. I love the stuff, but except for using it to tape up orders for my shop, I never quite know what to do with it. Today, though, I used it to make some notebooks and my pencil cup (ahem, a tin can), way more cute. The […]
