So this is what old feels like ...

This past Sunday was my bday,I wont say what age I turned, but I am still well withing the

 "thirty-something" range haha!!

Still, I remember vividly turning 30 like it was yesterday! Time goes by so fast!!

As i do every year , I decided to go shopping last week and buy something to for myself, I had been eyeing this skirt at JcPenny for ever, I really really wanted it, so when I got a 15 gift card from Penny's for my bday I though it would be a perfect time get it.

SO find it on the rack, the last one left!(yay) go into the dressing room, try it on and.......I hated it..

I mean REALLY hated it, you can't tell in this photo, and actually it looks pretty good here, but I swear to you, in person.....yikes. First of all, in this photo i have it hiked way up to my chest, because if I didn't it fell at least two inches past my feet on the floor , and I'm pretty tall, so I wonder how tall you have to actually be, for this thing to hang correctly.

The second thing, is that the lining only comes to the knee and being chiffon, it is totally see through from the knees down, which just looks weird. Sorry Leopard skirt, I really wanted you, but I tried you on three times, and....well,,,it's not going to work out....

I didn't leave empty handed however, I decided on the dress below

Dress-MNG Mango C/O JcPenny

Cardigan-Merona Target

Belt- Forever 21

Bracelets-Walmart

Candy Stripes

I have really been into the candy colors this spring.

I found this dress at Target the other day and had to have it.

I do however have a love hate relationship with the high waist line on it.

On one hand I love that it hides my belly....on the other hand, if I turn sideways, the "puffiness" in the front, combined with my prominent junk in the trunk,tends to make me look, well....wider.

So I decided...I  just wont stand sideways.......because I REALLY love this dress...

There.....it is settled.

Day Dreaming on Refinery 21

Are you familiar with Refinery 21? Let me tell you what , YOU SHOULD BE.

It is my daily stop for a dose of all things fashion.

Here are some peices that I saw recently that really caught my eye.

Silk Tie Shirt - American Apparel

Linen front tie trousers- Forever 21

Cats Eye Glasses- American Apparel

Highwaisted Shorts- Forever 21



Style Craft- Crackle bauble necklace

Let me start off by saying this was not solely my idea, I took a very original concept from Elsie and Emma over at ABeautifulmess.com and tweaked it to make it my own.

I love gaudy jewelry, bright colored almost ridiculous pieces, have always caught my eye.

And I love to dress us a plain Jane outfit with a POP of color, 

this necklace is super easy to make and can be done SO many different ways.

You will need.....

Acrylic Paint in two different colors (I picked turquoise and black)
Ribbon or any kind of string that you would like to use for the actual "necklace"
Wooden balls ( you can get them at the craft store in different sizes)
Bamboo skewers ( kind you use for cooking)

Slide a ball onto the skewer..

Paint the balls in the color that you like,

The trick is not to use too much paint or it will form drip marks.

Let dry, I took a pack of cards and set it on top of the skewer
 to allow the stick to hang off of the side of the table.

Next....the magic ingredient!!

Wait for it......

Crackle nail polish!
Because I sell AVON, I used the Avon Mosaic Effects Polish I already had on hand
but any brand will do!

Paint the entire ball in a thick layer of the crackle nail polish...

I added two more beads that I put a free hand design on as well,
but you could also feel free to leave those solid.

Once they are dry, thread them up onto either a ribbon
 or leather string or twine,
whatever your heart desires!

The finished product!

Once I made this I realized that I didn't care for the ribbon as a necklace
( sometimes you will have that),
so I will definitely be changing it to probably a black leather string instead.
 But that is the beauty of this, you could change it up a millon times to suit your mood!
You could also paint the balls white and do a cobalt blue crackle over it,
(I love blue and white together)
or even color block it!
Above all have a good time with it, and get creative!
