Predictable Party Girl

Top: LC Lauren Conrad, Skirt: Thrifted, Heels: Rebecca Minkoff

I feel like every time I  go out, I somehow always gravitate towards wearing this skirt. Honestly I  can't resist it and find myself wishing that I had it in a few more colors, especially pastels like seafoam green. These photos were taken right before Chris and I set off for the night. We spent most of the night dancing and I got to see a lot of my old co-workers...all in all a good night.


Today is my brother's (& Justin Timberlake's...I still love him even though he is engaged) birthday so you know what that means...Birthday Cake!! Hope your day is just as happy as mine :) 
**lol a NSYNC song just came on in my itunes playlist, it feels like freshman year again**

If You Want Something Do it Yourself- Heart Garland


I'm one of those people that really loves to get into every holiday so when I saw this cute post I couldn't help but be inspired. I instantly started to come up with ideas and thought this was a fun and easy diy to make for Valentine's day that I just had to share with all of you. 

Pipe Cleaners, Scissors, Ribbon

1. Take 2 pipe cleaners and twist the ends together and shape into a heart
2. After you shape the pipe cleaners into a heart push the ends in 
3. Get pipe cleaner and come underneath heart and repeat steps to make another heart 
4. They should be intertwined. I made my garland starting with the center heart and then worked my way out on each side.
5. I wanted my hearts to get slightly smaller, so if you decide to make your hearts different sizes just cut off however much before you make the heart.
6. After you've made your garland as long as you want it, take a small piece of pipe cleaner and twist it to hold two hearts together.
7. Tie ribbon to each end and you're done!
