Based on my inspiration post on Monday, I am sharing an in progress photo of my UO inspired tote. I think it’s turning out pretty nice!
I chose to buy a pre-made tote and sew on all my ribbons on there, I ran into a lot of frustration using my baby sewing machine, it was much faster by hand!
Today I will put on the finishing touches, I think it needs another strip of some lacey ribbon, I’m also thinking about adding black stripes and chevrons to the sides.
Hello hello, Happy Monday! Over the very relaxing, pool-side spent weekend I managed to squeeze in some time to get my crafty on. I’ve wanted to make a clutch for a while and now I can say I did.
I also listed two new necklaces in the shop – and I’m working on more designs 
Another busy week ahead…
I would call this a thrift treasure but I don’t really know where it came from. I snagged this from my mom’s room (she just had it hanging and used it to store pens haha) – I think the main purpose of this little pouch is to hold sunglasses, even though mine barely fit.
However, this would be great to hold cash or a cellphone without a clunky bag… and that’s probably what I’ll be using this little baggy for :)
More super bright / neon inspiration! I’m working on my neon pink bracelets, I will share by this weekend :)
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock — you know NEON is in this season like no other. I’ve always been attracted to super bright colors, unfortunately I cannot rock the color orange (as it seems to be the go-to hit color for neon.)
Needless to say, I’m oohing and ahhing for Celine anything, fabulously modern fashion that not everyone can afford. Not anymore! Brooke got her crafty mind thinking to create her own Celine inspired neon clutch. Amazing!
I’ve been bitten by the neon bug so expect more fluorescence in the future ;)
Hello! Happy Tax Day! (even though Monday is already over – today has been quite the roller coaster)
I realized I haven’t stopped by any thrift store recently so after work, I made a swift dash for one (thinking it would start raining/snowing, or what have you.. it hasn’t) – I was lucky enough to buy a couple of things and I’m really excited about them, yay!
Pictured above is a lovely little cross-body bag, a steal for just $3 – after I got it home I noticed the leather was a bit ripped by one of the straps. Nothing a little hot glue can’t fix though!
Below is what I’m most happy with. This arrowhead necklace is something straight out of Erin Wasson’s jewelry box. It’s kinda bad ass… at a bad ass price of just $2!
I also got a large 16×20 frame for $2 that I’ll be using to take some pictures of prints to put up on Etsy.
Have a super nice week everyone! ;)
The huge idea behind this surgery/DIY was to make the strap longer so this adorable bag could be used as a cross-body. The verdict: success! I am pretty pleased with the result, it got a little messy but this is a cute little bag for Summer – I can’t over-stuff it with crap so that’s a plus! haha
Some of my supplies: belt strap, hardwear, pins, glue gun, thread & needle, scissors.
Check out some step-by-step pictures after the cut…

I came by this amazing dress from Furor last night and I just got really inspired. I love it, I might buy it?! I came up with a little outfit idea for Spring/Summer – it seems like Spring will never get here, maybe the weather will just jump straight to Summer… either way – I can’t wait! Helllloooo dresses <3
Get them here: Tribal print dress from Furor; Red Crochet Espadrilles from Topshop; Black Double Wrap Woven Belt from Thread Sence; Bright Leather satchel from ASOS; H&M bracelets
I feel like I’ve just had the craziest and busiest week ever. We’re really swamped at work and that’s good, not bad. However, tiring for sure.
I took these pictures this past weekend but had no time to get them up, sorry! I’m posting now, some goodies from my closet :) First— is an amazing bag by Billabong from Carol @ TC!!! I couldn’t love it more, this will be my go-to bag for everything this Summer. It’s pretty large so it can serve as an overnight bag, too. I’m all for versatility ;) and that it’s totally boho too -yay!
I did take a trip down to Macy’s and couldn’t find anything I liked … except! — this cute makeup bag from Fossil. I already stuffed my makeup essentials in it, I fell for this print, isn’t it adorable? I’m a huuuge fan of Fossil bags / wallets / you name it. If I could buy it all, I would.
And lastly … I’ve had dreams about these shoes from H&M – I’ve seen them months ago when they first came out, in the leopard print as well. I saw them, they were my size so I got them. Cute and comfy, and I love the wedge. Summer needs to come now so I can rock’em ;)
So that’s my HC update– I forgot to take pictures of some other things so I might share those later on… I’m just really looking forward to the weekend — excited to see I Am Number Four!!!
Browsing Etsy is addicting. I found some really amazing bags and clutches, a little bit pricey but I wish I could have them all :) Come to think of it, I want a new bag for Spring… something small? These are good options and inspirations for what I’m thinking :P
