Day 162: Aztec Print is my Homie

I am a little obssessed this season with a thing called Aztec Print. I have it on everything: sweatshirts, tights, socks, scarves, even my living room rug. I can't get enough really!

I also am obsessed with Nordstrom Rack for giving me this lovely sweatshirt material Aztec print for a measly $11. You are the best!

My bangs aren't driving me crazy just yet, and there's a girl at work that trims them for me..all she asks is a subway sandwich in return. She is the best too!

Day 57: Double Denim

I broke one of fashion rules today: I wore Denim on Denim...scary thought. There is a way to do this so you dont look like you're wearing a Canadian Tuxedo: 

Before Justin was fashionable and Britney was crazy

Double denim golden rules

1 No belt, please. With a belt, the look that you were hoping projected Paris catwalk insouciance becomes unreconstructed Idaho truck driver.
2 You need contrast in colour: One piece should be a darker-hued denim. You might want this on your bottom half, darker colours being more slimming, but beware: a pale denim shirt can wash out your skintone.
3 Don't go with a very fine chambray shirt with a very heavy denim jean. That's not double denim, that's cheating, and it doesn't have the right impact.
4 Break up the heaviness of the look with something light and feminine: the strap of a fabulous Chloé or Mulberry cross-body handbag, perhaps; or a gorgeous pair of dangly earrings; or wear the shirt open one extra button to show off a tiny glimpse of a pretty camisole.
5 Roll your sleeves up and highlight bare wrists with a bracelet or a cocktail ring.
6 Finally, no cowboy boots. Keep feet semi-naked in ballet pumps or a pretty flat sandal.

Which outfit should I choose?  (please ignore the horrible lighting, my camera died and I had to leave it plugged in to take pictures)

THE WINNER!!!!!!

 I broke a few of the "Double Denim Golden Rules" here. So I'm thinking the one with the scarf is the best. I did break rule #6 of "No cowboy boots" but these don't quite qualify, do they? When it gets a bit warmer I'll throw on some sandals I promise! That and this scarf makes me extremely happy, every time I look down at it, I think of my momma and how rad she is. Any thoughts? Which one do you like?

Day 48: DIY Wall Decor

Step 1: Go to Goodwill , find cheap picture frames (10-15 depending on the size of your wall) in all colors, sizes, etc. ( I got mine for $1 each..)

Step 2: Grab your tools: Hammer, panel nails, tape, scissors

 Step 3: Pick your photos. I went with a landscape/travel theme, or they can be completely random, whatever you blows your skirt up.

Step 4: Cut backdrops out of construction paper for the 5x7 frames (or be super pimp and just print your pictures this size beforehand)...if you have fancier paper, use it. I do not so construction paper it is.

Step 5: Start randomly placing picture frames on your wall, you could get all fancy and get out a ruler and a leveler, but that's no fun really. I did have one focal point, my favorite picture of myself, a black and white picture of me looking forward out the window, it symbolizes me looking out at all the cool places I've been and how many more I want to see.

Step 6: Include these cute lil guys (or something similar just so its not all pictures, they were $1 each)

Then marvel at what you've created:

What I like about this is you can keep adding pictures until your heart's content. I definitely want about 5 more photos and a couple more cute lil guys.

Total time spent: 1 hour
Total cash spent: $12

Oh yeah and um here's what I wore out last night: I liked it so I thought I'd share, snagged this shirt for $1.
