3/29/12 DIY Stone Rings

After school today, I was excited to go to the hardware store ASAP to gather some items to make some jewelry. To make these rings I retrieved stainless steel wire, a piece of amethyst(purple stone) or a look alike stone bead(blue bead), and needle nose pliers. I simply used the pliers to form the steel wire around the stone in the design I liked and made it loop for my finger to go through. It was simple and fast and they look great!
I've also made some geometric necklaces I cannot wait to post pictures of!

3/25/12 Nude Nails

Usually, due to Marching Band I don't paint my nails. But marching season is long over with and I've finally gotten back into the groove of painting my nails again. My sister just bought a few new nail polish bottles and I adore the soft tones of a nude polish. The Essie-Sand Tropez polish is strong too. It has lasted a good week and with minimal wear.

3/20/12 Sorry, MEMBERS ONLY

Muahaha! I snagged my boyfriends Members Only Jacket after school today. Earlier I was wearing one of his pull over sweaters I had at my house but after school we did a quick exchange. I say it was a pretty good exchange, his sweater for another one of his jackets. Yeah, I'm sneaky! Anyway, I just have on a plain black tank, some Papaya jeans and belt, a vintage ornament necklace charm, my Ray-Bans, Converse, and of course the classic Members Only Jacket. If you are wondering, my nail polish is Essie-Sand Tropez (I will post about this later).

3/5/12 World Dyed in Pink

 Blowing a kiss to my boyfriend.

This weekend I dyed my world in pink with Petal Pink RIT Fabric dye. At first I was aiming to have completely pink shorts but I didn't realize until I was dyeing my shorts there was going to be some blue in them. But that's okay! I love my dyed pink shorts. First I had to find an old pair of jeans I never wore then I cut the legs to the length I wanted and rolled them up. During the dying process I was happy that the stirring caused the edges of my shorts to fray. I was pleasantly surprised with the results overall. But after just dying one pair of shorts I realized I still have a big old bucket of pinkish red dye. I ran upstairs to grab a plain worn out white tee that wasn't truly white anymore from the wear and dunked it in the dye for less than a minute making sure not to make it too bright a pink. Then I threw both of my items in the dryer and ta-dah a pink wardrobe! I will be doing a DIY on how to get pure colored jeans pretty soon. These shorts were only a little practice run.

3/2/12 Shoe Wishlist

These are a few shoes that have been on my wishlist for awhile now. But yet, I don't have the moola of course haha. The galaxy shoes are Jeffrey Campbell Litas, then there are green glow in the dark Nike Dunks, in the middle is an adorable and edgy studded flat, to the lower left are a pair of Cheap Monday Monolit wedges, and lastly Tuk Lolita Creepers. I've just been craving these shoes to be part of my wardrobe. The Monolit wedges remind me of shoes you would wear on the moon because of the teeth of the souls. I definitely dig the platform Creepers with the cute lolita detailing. They have been something that I've been looking for in my size for a long time but I can only seem find them in 9's when I go out. Studs are a big trend right now. Studded flats are cute but they have that dangerous tone to them too. They are edgy but chic. I already made a separate post for Jeffrey Campbell. The Dunks are something that my boyfriend has been begging me to get and I love these unique glow in the dark Nike high tops. High tops also took over the runways this year. Hopefully someday soon I will have at least one of these items on my wishlist. I just wish! <3
