It's been fun...

Well, I'm taking a little break from the blog.  Find me on pinterest here or visit my etsy store here.  Bye for now!

Instagram Fun

Every month, lovely Australian blogger/photographer "fatmumslim" offers an instagram photo challenge, and every month I forget/am too busy  to do it.  Until now!  This June I will try my best to follow along on the fun...Today's prompt: morning

Spring Fling

I'm loving all the pastel colors for spring.  They're such a breath of fresh air and a nice change from all the neon I've been seeing recently!

Product Roundup: Mrs. Meyers

I love Mrs. Meyers' whole line of eco friendly cleaning products.  Not only are they void of harmful chemicals, they smell divine and are super affordable.  My favorite is the lavender all purpose cleaner, I use it to clean countertops, mirrors, and everything in between.  These products are so awesome they'll almost make you want to clean...almost.

Pinterest Interest

Dreamy Anthropologie bedding

Totally.

Birthday Cake Martinis?  Yes please.

So cute.

DIY: Mouse Pad

We've all had those requisite generic mousepads we didn't want to throw out.  The solution?  Cover them with a pretty fabric with a project that won't take more than 5 minutes!

What you'll need:

• glue gun
• glue sticks
• mouse pad
• fabric
• scissors
• cardboard

First: Gather materials, cut out fabric and leave a little room to fold

Next, place mouse pad upside down and glue around the edges(I added a layer of linen fabric for a bit of extra padding)

Place desired fabric(I used a piece of beautiful kimono remnant fabric) and repeat gluing step.  Finish by gluing a piece of hard cardstock or cardboard for backing.

Voila!  A beautiful "new" mousepad.  Easy piecy.

Dare to Wear: Eclectic Fashion

It's not easy to pull off a great eclectic look.  Those who do are not only brave enough to do so, but typically very chic in their execution.  Fashion can be so many different things to different people, but mostly, shouldn't it be fun?  Artistic?  An outward expression of your personality? I love the bohemian, free spirit idea of dressing this way (although I don't always have the guts!), and admire the women who can walk out the door looking like this and feeling fabulous...

Currently Obsessed With: Music Festival Style

Street Style Muse: Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is America's sweetheart and she always seems to dress the part.  She loves sweet, vintage inspired looks, and mixes girly and tomboy just right.

Instagram Love

I am loving all the fun I'm having using Instagram and all the great apps to use with it!  I recently discovered Picstitch, it lets you do photo collages like the one above.  So fun!
