I finally found the perfect look to accentuate my DIY. I love love love the way this one turned out. I got to wear my favorite colors, rubies and reds. I also been wearing skirts more. If you noticed, I've been a bit MIA, I got really sick and needed to change some habits, one being tight skinny jeans, say bye bye for now, my kidneys will thank me later.

On another note, what weather we've been having recently, talk about heat waves. I am MAJORLY nervous, this has been by far the MILDEST winter of my life. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting to take snow up the rear as repercussion for such nice weather. Not that I don't enjoy sunshine, but in JANUARY, in the upper midwest....fishy fishy.

regardless, what better time to enjoy nature. Dave and I took a walk through the forest preserve dressed like a gang of gypsies. We had fun running (and falling) through what was left of the snow, making hard pressed faces like a group of vagabonds walking to warmer weather. Its also a great time to making small talk with the locals. Since its been so nice people have been keeping up with their resolutions, running in the park, getting fresh air. It's nice also long as you stay active, but it IS still winter, so after a while, you do get frozen! Plus the fresh air did me a bit of good. I was getting depressed laying in bed for the past two weeks, so I put on the make up, dressed myself and got out. Mental health always makes you feel better physically. And so does vitamin D, thanks Mr. Sun.



lazy sunday DIY

what a better thing to do this sunday than a DIY. I have been loving the idea of taking boring old shirts and turning them into something a little bit more fabulous. And after Refinery 29's DIY collars I just had to get up and DO IT!

What I used: A bershka viscose shirt ( I got in London actually) jewelry pliers, and a few vintage studs I was hanging on to for the perfect project. I almost never wear this shirt but its sentimental since I got it on my travels. Thats why I decided to DIY. So I could get more wear out of it.

Out of all my studs, I really fancy these little guys because the remind me of 80s meets western.

So far so good, I wanted to keep it simple not over worked...

And TADA!

What do you think? I thought it would look really cute with my fave oatmeal sweater and a red lip, no?
Such an easy DIY took me no longer than 30mins flat!


Anyway back to bumming around, I really want to see Ricky Gervais piss people off tonite #goldenglobes!

hey guys
