A Peak into My Sketchbook


With my day off yesterday I decided I would be a good student and get some work done. I've had a certain sketchbook for awhile now that I should have already filled the pages of but to be honest I hadn't really done too much with it. I finally sat down, pulled out all my magazine clippings and a few sketches and filled the pages with what inspires me. I'm hoping by the end of the quarter it will be full but now that I've actually started it, I wanted to share a few pics of what the inside looks like.

I'm inspired by photography, pretty details, music, and color and I wanted my sketchbook to be something fun that I could look back at...almost like a diary that's personal and me filled with pretty inspiration.

What kinds of things inspire you?

Old Crush

Swearer: Thrifted, Top: Target, Shorts: Express, Tights: Rue 21, Boots: Charlotte Russe

 Hey dolls, hope the week has been treating you all well. I snapped these photo before heading to school yesterday. I love this top, I think I've always said how much I've always had a thing for the mustard yellow color but hadn't actually worn it until now. I love it!! I'm so happy that I finally embraced wearing one of my color crushes...it's been a long time coming. Today is my day off from work and school...it feels nice to have a day to not worry too much about anything. 


If You Want Something Do It Yourself-Bow Necklace


Over the weekend I decided I wanted to make something fun and easy to add to my wardrobe. I ended up going with a tulle bow necklace because let's face it, a girl can never have too many bows and I love tulle. I had a bunch of black tulle at home but I think this would be fun in other colors like pretty pastels or even lace and I only need a few inches of fabric. So if you want it, here's how to do it yourself.

1-4. Tie your tulle into a bow


5. Puff out the ends so your bow looks full like this


6. Cut 2 pieces of felt-approx. 1/2 inch
7. Hot glue one piece of felt to the back of the bow
8. Line up chain, make sure you have it in the middle
9. Glue the second piece of felt to secure the chain in place


Hope you enjoyed this :)
