Happy Weekend!!

This might be a fun project to do this weekend! If you have to go to the hardware store you might as well pick up a few extra bolts. By Monday you will have an impossibly cool bracelet.

never could imagine that a few things from the hardware store -- a little twine and a few brass nuts -- could be transformed into such a stunningly elegant and chic fashion accessory . . .

{you will need:}
3 strands of twine cut into one yard pieces, 18 small brass hex nuts and a bit of dexterity

{steps:}

1. gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about two inches of slack
2. start braiding

3. at about an inch of the way down, you’ll begin braiding in the nuts

4. before you braid the far left strand over the middle strand, thread on a nut, push it against the base of the braid, and crossover; depending on the thickness of the twine, you can wrap tape around the bottom tips to prevent the twine from fraying.

5. keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place

6. before you braid the far right strand over the middle, thread on another nut, push it against the base of the braid and crossover

7. again, hold your thumb tightly against the base of the braid, keeping the nuts in place
8. thread another nut onto the far left piece and crossover.

9. repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over

10 & 11. thread, cross, thread, cross

12. finish the bracelet with another inch of braided twine and a knot

the bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times; trim it to your liking

Mix and match with a few other bracelets and you are good to go.

Happy February!!

It's not snowing or anywhere near snowing here in Florida. My friends and family in OKC are all snowed in. I hope you guys get to do something as fun and glamorous as going to a Zac Posen photo shoot today. Or you could just snuggle up, stay warm, and read blogs. :)

Fashion File

Here are a few things over at Forever 21 that I like. I really like their line Love 21 . This is a more contemporary grown up version of Forever 21. They even have a Maternity section. These pieces would make my fall wardrobe very happy. The best thing is that not one of these pieces are over $30, and a couple of those tops are actually silk!

Grey Days

You know how cartoon characters wear the same thing everyday? If I was to be a cartoon character the outfit I would be wearing everyday would be a grey t - shirt and jeans.  A pair of ballet flats (maybe a pair of heals) with a cardigan in the fall and winter episodes and a necklace and some giant shades in the spring and summer episodes. What would your chartoon character outfit be?

Cheap Monday!!

I'm MAD for Steve Madden! Summer is almost over and that usually means sales. 

All of these adorable shoes are on sale now ! Can you tell I'm in the mood for fall?

P.S. The two boots aren't actually on sale yet but they are sooooo great I had to put them on here.

A little leopard goes a long way. 

I love how both of these images have an effortless coolness about them with a punch of sexy.
