purple people eater & a giveaway!

On me: Vintage 70s blouse via Grey Dog, vintage scarf, target floppy hat, thrifted shorts, f21 oxfords, DIY rings
On Zeus: vintage polka dot scarf

It's Friday, which puts me in a super good mood despite the sudden drop in temperature! It's amazing what a little sunshine can do. This is yet another fun blouse that I got from where I work--the pleats, print and soft lilac color is just so fun to wear. I also found this floppy hat in the abyss that is my closet, crumpled and raggedy. But behold, I added new life to it by paring it with my newest go-to accessory--a vintage scarf! I wrapped it up and knotted it up around the band which brightened it up!
And now for a giveaway! I'm going to share my recent obsession with scarves and giveaway a vintage goodie of your very own and Zeus wanted to model them for you guys but he's not up for grabs ;)  Isn't he the sweetest? I've also been making my own rings out of vintage jewelry and would love to give one away, specially made for the winners! 

What you win (THERE WILL BE TWO WINNERS!) 

A vintage scarf of your own & a DIY ring made out of vintage jewelry--made by me!

crayon tribe



Thrifted tee, thrifted 80s bag, F21 oxfords & necklace, vintage scarf, DIY ring, DIY shorts   

Pink/coral/salmon + mint have become my favorite colors of spring. I love pairing them together because it creates a fun and youthful look that just screams SPRING! I've had these pink jeans for a few years, and as pants they were almost too much...even for a color loving gal like me. Recently I decided to turn them into shorts. Since it's getting warmer, I'm coming up with new accessories to replace my beloved wool hats. I'm finally pulling out my collection of scarves and putting them to good use. I wore this one Steven Tyler style, although you can't see in the pictures. I haven't tried the turband look yet, but some of you adorable bloggers are pulling them off so well that I'm tempted to give it a try! 

What are your favorite spring color combinations? Inspire me :) 

Happy Tuesday everybody!

people are strange


F21 dress, thrifted Dooney & Bourke bag, DIY necklace,  

I've been feeling crafty lately so I've been collecting little pretty things and turning them into something new that I can use. For example, I found this little sun gold sun hat at a thrift store and it was actually an earring that was missing it's pair. I decided to turn it into a necklace (yes, I mixed a silver chain with gold but who cares--work with what you have!)

For those who asked for photos of my new apartment, I decided to show a quick snapshot of my room (it looks more cute in person). If you haven't noticed, blue is my favorite color. I actually didn't realize it until now that I had a theme going on, blue is actually very calming. Everything in my room was under $30 ( individually and not including the tv). I love being thrifty because it really challenges your creativity and it's so nice to make something completely your own--even if all it takes is a fresh coat of paint.  

I also watched The Lost Boys last night, hence the title. Childhood favorite. I loved the Frog brothers. And the clothes ...ahh so so great!
Have a beautiful and inspiring weekend!

my iron-on heart





 DIY denim top, Gap jeans and beanie, F21 boots & clutch

 I present to you--the DIY top from my previous post. Nothing too complicated but it definitely brought new life to one of my favorite denim button ups. As you can see, the snow is melting! But I still want the cold weather to stick around, I was made for it! I'm peacing out for a few days (snow days do not mean rescheduling tests, they mean I need to start studying), but I'll get back to all of you wonderful peeps as time permits! 
Finish the weekend off strong...whatever that means to you!

DIY: denim heart patch

When it comes to shopping, I'm a bargain hunter. Sometimes I can wait the two weeks, just to see the item I want drop to 50% off. I won't invest on pricey pieces unless I feel like I HAVE to have it, and usually if that does happen I end up finding a way to live without it or find something similar. Once such way, are DIY projects. 

I love J.Crew--but I would never drop $100 on this adorable chambray top, even with the cute heart pocket. On a college student budget, a fashionista/o has to improvise and work with what you have...which is a good thing because you should always have your eyes open to be inspired by the world around you. Even the smallest alterations and updates to a piece in your wardrobe can make the biggest difference and will leave you and your bank account happy! 


 {Inspiration via J.Crew}






J.Crew= $98
itty bitty bomb way= Under $3

This was so easy and helped me beat cabin fever. I added a patch on the back just for a little more fun. You can also sew on the patches if you're feeling up for it, or make them actual functioning pockets (I never use front pockets)!

deep red







F21 tights & dress, DIY bracelet, Chicos ring

I just want to say, how great each of your comments are and they means so much to me. I am inspired by each of you in such different ways, and I'm really starting to love the color red! I'll respond to each of your comments by tonight, it's been a pretty busy-fun day. 

1. Woke up pretty early & cleaned.
2. Interviewed for an internship (which I'm so excited about... more on that later)
3. Grabbed a late lunch w/ Doug
4. Went with Doug to buy a speed bag and body bag (we're going to start boxing for exercise, how funny)
5. I got some really cute training gloves, I'll definitely have to do a boxing outfit post :)
6. I've been working on some more DIYs and can't wait to share...

fringed heart







Gap heart tights, Kelsey Dagger "Fortune" wedges,  thrifted dress & lace skirt, Chicos bracelet, 
Decree bracelet, F21 cardigan,DIY fringe scarf, Mulberry for Target bag, vintage jewel hair pins

Here is the DIY scarf (tutorial below) in action! It was so beautiful out today, but I'm sad that it does not feel like December here but it does mean that I can wear this cute dress without a thick coat!

So this dress is yet another one that is way too short for me, but too long to wear as a top. AWKWARD. So what's a girl to do? I pulled out my lace skirt and made it look like a slip, which also made the skirt of the dress appear fuller. 

Go ahead, say it. The tights make me look like a leopard with heart shaped spots haha its cool, but I scored these at Gap for a super great price, so its ok. I also wanted to show that  this itty bitty bag can perfectly store my Blackberry, cash, chap-stick,and my debit card! 

Make due with what you have an work it baby, thats my motto. Ok, not really but I said it just now.

Sorry for the rambling, but I hope you all have a wonderful New Year. May it be a memorable one or may it be so much fun, you can't even remember it ;) 

I'm so glad I started this blog and adore each one of you, so thanks for your support duuudddes! Here's to another year of life and exploring!

DIY fringe scarf










Another DIY idea from P.S.--I Made This... by Erica Domesek. So easy and so much fun, Zeus totally loved it.


You don't have to add  the fringe, it could simply just be a tube/circle scarf as well! 


Enjoy!


♥


Edit: A beautiful friend of mine, just started a blog of her own. She also has her own photography business, I love young entrepreneurs like her. She shows off this DIY scarf in her recent post. Send Aricka some love!

comfort creature









thrifted cardigan, thrifted dress, F21 tights & necklace, Kelsi Dagger "Fortune" wedges,DIY wrap bracelet


This outfit is the product of me rolling out of bed, showering and throwing whatever felt comfortable. I usually tend to go for jeans,  but my polka dot tights were begging to be worn with this long dress. This dress is so fun and the length is perfect because I don't have to worry about it being too short when I sit or showing my bum when the wind blows!

I bought this bracelet as a necklace and it was on clearance--I should have questioned why it was on sale but I couldn't pass up the deal! It was actually too short to be a necklace. Luckily, both ends had lobster clasps, so I wrapped around the chains and linked them together and voilà--a chain bracelet!
This just goes to show--don't give up on something because it doesn't work how its supposed to, change it to work for you!
I'm getting use of all my winter sweaters (I also thrifted this one for $2.50) and this one puts me in the holiday spirit! My favorite part of the holidays is finding gifts for all my loved ones, its such a fun thing to shop for others--especially when you have younger siblings! 
Hope you all are having a lovely Tuesday!

♥
