6/7/12 Like a Sir OOTD

Today, I have on a sweater I got from a thrift store for a dollar (that's right a buck)! The tag actually says it is from H&M too, so it was a nice buy. I also have on a crocheted bow tie necklace that I made a few years ago (it makes me feel like a sophisticated gentleman). The acid wash shorts are from a little Korean boutique  that use to be near my house called. Sadly, they went out of business because they were located in an awkward place amongst restaurants. These studded flip flops from Old Navy I purchased a few years back were an investment. I wear them all the time and the studs add a little edge to the feminine sandal. Of course,  I have on my funky Eyeball ring from Etsy. I would also like to take the time to point out that I have NEVER painted my nails red. Past reds that I have tried haven't looked to great on my skin. But I absolutely adore this shade of red with my skin tone. It is such a deep and vibrant shade that I'm reminded of blood or Minnie Mouse's dress. <3

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!
