It is easy to pull off wearing earrings everyday by adding small studs. They will be noticeable in the most subtle and classic way. I will be giving these out for free and all you guys would have to do is go ahead and

Picks of the Week

For this week I have picked out a few things that I have been eyeing over or have seen a lot of lately. I have seen a lot of Chalkboard everywhere. This might be a small thing like chalkboard paint, or chalkboard menu but I found this really cute chalkboard tablet as a replacement for jotting down notes instead of using a note pad. A good way to save paper! I also have fur, everyone is wearing fur right now, whether it is faux fur or real. I really liked this fur vest from Forever21 and a faux fur scarf from BCBG Maxazria. The Peplum style is really in right now, from this really cute peplum dress featured here today to peplum skirts and peplum tops.Lastly I have these really cute flat studded boots from Topshop at the Bay which I spotted while at the store. I think I may just get them because they are flat. There is just so much heel a girl can endure! Happy shopping!

Hey Everyone!


I thought I would share this little perk I got yesterday with you guys. So if you have an SPC card, you are entitled to get a FREE lipgloss at American Apparel. Now, I am not one to get out of my way to get something for free (ha! Who am I kidding, of course I would do such a thing). Anyy whoo, I work just down the hall from an American Apparel store so I decided to pop in for my free lipgloss. Its nice to know that there is no purchase necessary to get it & it is a full sized lipgloss!


I just went straight to the counter and told them

This is why I love keeping my paper cut offs and repurposing them later. Looks so great with the typewriter detail.

DIY: Book Paper Flower

This is a tutorial I found on Pintrest and decided to do a rendering of my own by following the instructions from it.


For this project you are going to need:


  • Book Paper
  • White Glue
  • Scissors
  • Stem / 20 gauge wire/Thin wooden dowel
  • Green grosgrain ribbon


After choosing your book paper, cut out 5 pieces of 5 arch shapes in 5 different sizes for a total of 25 pieces. Make sure you keep the font in one direction so that the final product looks cohesive.  
Ben the center of each 'petal' and create a rounded edge by curling in the top to give a more natural shape.

I used a mini clothing peg to hold the petals together in order for the crease to be really crisp. I had arranged 5 sets from smallest to largest. 

Once you are satisfied with the crease, start with the smallest piece a wrap around the wire, dowel or stem. I had used a stem from an old faux flower of which I had cut the top off.

DIY Cap toe studded flats


Transform some plain flats into a pair of gorgeous gold cap toe studded flats!



Here is what you will need:

  • Plain flats (mine cost only $7)

  • Gold spray pain (on hand)

  • Gold pyramid studs ($3/20)

  • Masking tape

  • Scrap paper

  • Needle 

  • Pliers 


Start with a pair of plain flats, make sure they are cleaned on the surface.



Mask off the section that you want to be gold. The depth is your own choice. Make sure there are no gaps, and that the tape is as flat as possible. You do not want the gold to seep into the clean white space.



Once that is taped off take a scrap piece of paper and cover the rest of the shoe so that the spray paint does not sprinkle all over the shoes.  Once the spray paint is on, let the paint dry in front of a fan or just air dry. The paint will need to be completely dry before any tape is peeled off. Remove the paper and tape and make sure lines are straight.



Decide where you want to place the studs. Push the pins of the stud into the material so that there is an impression. Use a thick sewing needle in order to pierce through the shoe and then push the stud through. Use pliers to flatten the pins in the inside of the shoe. Repeat where ever you add studs.



I thought that the inside would irritate with the studs but I could not feel them at all. One tip I would recommend when purchasing ‘cheaper’ shoes is to get half a size larger and use gel cushions in the back so that the shoes will be comfortable enough to wear.



Now you can wear your one of a kind shoes with pride!
