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.
