The sun is FINALLY shining!

Since the sun is shining bright today, you should break out your sunglasses. 

You can never have too many sunglasses, right? 

Having lots of different types and styles give you the option to mix and match with different outfits and change up your look. 

Whether you have aviators, over-sized, brow-line, wayfarers or cat-eye shades, you can shield your eyes in style. My favorite are retro brow-line, but I have lots of different styles. 

Go out and expand your sunglasses collection. 

Stay Shaded! XOXO

Chic Happens

It comes so easily to fashionistas, but are well aware that we are chic 100% of the time. 

Love this bloomies ad! One of their many ads from their 100% Bloomingdale's Spring Campaign!

Smashing Fashion.

Boredom on cold weekends leads to a serious Smash session. 

If you don't have a Smash Book, I suggest you invest in one now!

I have a bunch, but use this specific one for all the things I love, specifically FASHION. 

Took a stack of old fashion magazines, started snipping away and viola! 

Created this fashion inspired page with ideas, looks and pieces that I love. These books are a great way to get your ideas down on the page and inspire your inner fashionista. 

Go out, buy a smashbook & share your smashing new designs! 

Stay Crafty! XOXO

OOTD Please!

Check out my OOTD! 

With Spring approaching I can start to bring out all my fun print collared shirts. 

One of my favorites is this cheetah top, because we all know cheetah print is now a neutral in the fashion world. 

This J Crew shirt is a classic in my closet, paired with Banana Republic straight leg jeans and H&M black flats. I paired this look with some pearl jewelry and some gold arm candy to finish it off. I left my top un-tucked and wore flat shoes for a more casual look for class, but you can dress it up with a tuck-in, belt and heels for a night out. 

Personally, I love bold colors, prints & patterns, but if you're more conservative, try to go with a less crazy print. Maybe solid colors with printed cuffs, and eventually you can work your way up to bold, comfortably. 

I love to go out with a fashionable BANG each and every day, so if your're like me, bring on the BOLD! 

Stay Cheetahlicious! XOXO

DIY Bracelet Hack Under $10

DIY DIVA ALERT! 

This jewelry hack that will have you running to the craft store now!

Layered and wrap bracelets are the newest trend, and you can make them yourself! The picture above is a combo of store bought bracelets (with the arrows) and DIY bracelets under $10, and now you're going to know how to make them. 

What you need to make this fashion statement happen: 

1) String of your choice - Pictured above is both colored knotting cord and a brown leather cord. This choice is up to you and the look you are going for. Dressy or casual, colors or neutrals, whatever your heart desires. Whichever you chose, make sure the beads fit. 

2) Gold noodle beads - You can find these beads at any craft store or bead shop. They're super fun to craft with and have a chic look to them. Make sure you chose a bead that has the right diameter for the width of your string. Usually the thicker noodle beads work better for this project. 

3) Gold crimps & fastener - You'll need the clamps to be able to attach the ends to the fastener and form the bracelet. I would suggest investing in a small set of jewelry pliers (especially if you plan to make more DIY jewels) because it will make your life much easier. 

After you buy all your materials the process is pretty simple: Make your DIY bracelets & flaunt your new set of arm candy everyone will adore. You can change up the color, width and material of the cord to add a different look. Also, I suggest to make a silver set and a gold set, so you can pair them with whatever color metal you're wearing. Mix and match these with other bracelets you already have to always keep it exciting!

These beauties can be dressed up or down, and can make all your friends wish they had your style.

Snow, snow, go away, come back NEVER!

Hi followers! I don't know about all of you, but I can pretty confidently say that Spring is LONG overdue! 

This is the face I had this morning when I looked out the window and was graced with a frozen tundra outside. 

Although we all are very, VERY ready for the snow to melt and the flowers to bloom, snow days are perfect for a little of our favorite fashionista activity. ONLINE SHOPPING! 

Treat yourself to a little something for spring today and hang it up in your closet to remind yourself winter is almost over! 

STAY WARM! XOXO
