Some of my handmade things!!

So I recently handmade these little accessories and I've talked about some of them in my videos, but I think they deserve a blog post!! Enjoy!

Rose clip

This red rose clip is perfect for everyone! 

It gives a Spanish feel to darker hair, and will show up really well on lighter hair!

Sunflower!!!

Rise and shine! This is a huge sunflower and will instantly jazz up your hair!

Great for darker hair because the contrast between dark and this bright yellow brings out the fun flower!

         

Big white flower

I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but it's great for all hair colors!

It contrasts with dark hair color, but is subtle on lighter hair. 

It's very pure and classy.

Wrap beaded bracelets

These are inspired by Bhati Beads, but are a lot less expensive!

Hot pink with silver

Navy blue with silver

Moss green with gold

Black with gold

They're gorgeous and can be worn as a wrap bracelet, anklet or a choker.

But I personally love just throwing it on my wrist.

Colorful ones give a burst of color, and darker ones are very classy.

Friendship bracelet/anklet!

This is kind of the woven pattern, yellow, purple, pink and burgundy red looks so good together.

They compliment each other, and the colors really stand out without others stealing their glory.

One for your best friend and it's perfect for spring and summer.

So I really do hope you enjoyed this blogpost. It will be updated when I made other new creations, so stay tuned!

My spring must haves - Wedged sandals!

Ok, so my current obsession is... wedged sandals!!
I absolutely LOVE them, I'm like really short, so I always need a bit of height in my shoes. And they're really spring-y and summer-y and I'm just obsessed with them! So I'm going to show you 2 of my favs :)

So the first pair, are these cute closed toe sandals from Kate Spade. They are really old, and are a pair of hand-me-downs from my mom but I adore them. They have these big flower pattern on them and are so pretty! Plus, they're not too high (around 1 to 1 1/2 inch, I'd say), so I don't have to worry about tripping! I wore them on my spring's fashion video, so go check it out if you haven't already!

Pretty right? Anyway, the next pair of sandals I'm going to talk about are from cutesygirl.com. They're actually really inexpensive for such good quality, and they're so adorable! They're a pair of black peep toe wedged sandals, and they have a sling back (is that how you call them? idk). They have this white outline and a bow at the front. BUT the thing is, these are so freaking high. They're I think 4 in. tall, and the platform is around 1 inch. The wedge does go thinner at the heel, so it's harder to walk in them. But on the whole, they're really comfortable and wedges are mostly easier to walk in than on stilettos. So, practice makes perfect! I'm going to walk in them at home.

 P.S. they look great with red nails!

Aren't they just adorable?

So that's pretty much it! Thanks for reading and stay tuned :)

Spring 2011: COLOR BLOCKING!!!!!

Hey sweeties! One of the hottest trends this spring season is color blocking.

If you don't know what that means, it's pairing 2 or more bright colored pieces together. For example, pairing an emerald green top, with purple pants/jeans. Or just wearing one bright color for the whole outfit.

Lets look at some pictures from the Spring 2011 runway:

Max Mara

Prabal Gurung

Aren't they all so fun and creative? I personally would not wear like that on the street, but what I do, is I do one or 2 bright colored accessories, like a LARGE sky blue tote or some apple green heels/flats.

A brand that I immediately thought about for this trend is Kate Spade. I love how she has these really fun and colorful pieces to instantly brighten up an outfit. Kate Spade is definitely a place I would find some great pieces for this trend.

My cat Whilly!

So some of you guys have asked me to upload some photos of my cat Whilly, so here they are!

Yes, he is huge. He's overweight and has an exceptionally big head. But he's a pure English Shorthair.

He's so cute!!!! I <3 him :)
