seeing stripes

Stripes are bold, especially black & white. It takes an average white or black piece and amps up the fashion while still keeping it fairly neutral. Black and white stripes can go with almost any color and can be dressed up or down. Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2013 runway was full of big black&white striped statement pieces.

here are a few pieces I love!

blazer ~ Francesca’s

Lucca Couture striped jeans ~ Urban Outfitters

large tote ~ kate spade

henley ~ Free People

iphone case ~ J Crew

blazer ~ anthropologie

flats ~ Steve Madden (okay, blue, but still)

blouse ~ Ralph Lauren

sleeveless blouse ~ TopShop

scarf ~ Marc Jacobs

DIY american flag jean shorts

4th of July is almost here & we are so excited to be on a boat, drinkin’ a beer, and celebrating good ol’ America.

Here’s a step-by-step on how to create your own patriotic shorts!

buy a pair of old jeans from a thrift shop (these are old school Old Navy jean capris from Goodwill)

cut them into shorts ~ make sure not to cut them too short the first time, you can always cut more off later & get the perfect length

fray the bottoms of the shorts to get rid of the straight cut lines

spray paint the left side bright blue

use star stencils (found this sheet at Michael’s)

put the stencils over the blue & spray white. it takes several coats & careful spraying to get perfect stars. as you can see, these aren’t exactly picture perfect, but after a couple tries & coats you’ll get it.

spray paint the right side white

add some red lines & boom! all-American jorts.

you can even use the leftover denim to create a braided bracelet!

denim manicure

happy manicure monday! This week I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips. Have you tried Sally Hansen brand strips? What do you think? This pattern was simple enough that it looked okay for work and not too crazy… but it still looked like nail art compared to a normal. plain manicure.
