DIY // Lipstick Kiss Cupcake Toppers

When valentines day comes around I'm always thinking hearts and x's and o's...you know the usual. Well this year I thought it would be fun to try lipstick kisses. To me they feel just a bit more glamourous. Aren't they just the loveliest with cupcakes?!? Try these out for your next party with the girls! Oh and the best part is that you probably already have all the supplies at home...so go put on your prettiest pinks and reds and make these now! 
1. Put on your favorite lipstick and kiss paper, cardstock would work best.
2. Cut out kisses
3. You will use 2 kisses to make 1 topper so you have a front and back. Apply glue and toothpick between kisses and press down.
4. Add to cupcakes!!
Yum! Happy lipstick kisses and cupcake making!!

Gimmie What I Want // February Wish List


Over the past week I've been on the search for a white or ivory dress for my bridal shower and bachelorette party...it's this weekend!!! Well of course I couldn't keep my search to just dresses and by the end of it all, I had my eye on several pieces that I wish I could make mine. 
 Here are my current favorite.

the dress
I kind of feel hard for the sweet lace dress. It has so many adorable details like the floral pattern on the bodice and a sheer back. What's not to love?
the shoes
I've always been a fan of the whole color block thing. I love this trio of mint, nude, and metallic silver.
the accessory
I feel like it's a must to have a fun/party kind of clutch in the closet. I have lots of sparkly glitter ones in my closet but this one covered in pearls is a lovely statement piece that feels elegant at the same time. Oh and the tassel...that's enough to make me want this.

Don't Even Think About It

Top: Thrifted, Skirt: Thrifted, Tights: Target, Wedges: Thrifted Shoedazzle  
This year has been colder than usual, so unlike my normal self I've been wearing jeans/leggings lately. When I do get the chance to sneak in a skirt, I've been layering tights over a pair of leggings to stay warm. These gold studded ones are my current favorite. Despite the cold weather, getting dressed in the morning has been fun. I've just been throwing things together without really thinking about it. This outfit consists of sequins, studs, and leopard shoes...mixing things together has kind of been my thing lately.
