Scarf Obsession

I have been on the hunt for a really cute scarf print item to add to my wardrobe and I am sure I am not the only one. I found these adorable pieces below on Zara and Gap's website and wanted to share. I would love to see posts or comments on how you plan to wear your scarf print item.

Flowing Florals

I am lucky enough to be a born and raised Floridian, but this never gets old. I spent Sunday with my family out at Anna Maria Island for a beautiful lunch followed by a nice walk down the beach.

The Results: Cap Toe Shoes

Cap toe shoes are a huge trend and now you can DIY!

I don't want to brag, but crafting may be my talent. I am so excited about the outcome of my shoes that I want to make ones in every color. This project was actually pretty fun and very simple. Here are a couple tips if you are thinking about doing this yourself. 

Tip 1: I went to Payless for shoes and they had cute flats like the ones above in nude, black and white for only $16.99. They also had cute plain wedges that I may try next in multiple colors for $26.99.

Tip 2: I went to the craft store and bought Krylon fluorescent spray paint, but you also need to buy sealer; I used Krylon "Make It Last."

Tip 3: Use packing tape and tape the soles and the top of the shoe with all straight edges of the tape to get a nice clean finish.

Tip 4: Find a place you cannot destroy in case you get carried away, I chose the grass and aimed away from the house. 

Tip 5: Let dry and peel the tape....waahlaa!! You now have a super cute pair of trendy shoes!

My Weekend Project

I have been dying to do this for a while now, but life keeps getting in the way of all my crafty projects. Finally I have a weekend with no plans so it is time to start crafting! The photos above are my inspiration that I found from this website: http://greenweddingshoes.com/diy-neon-toe-shoes/. Wish me luck that my crafting comes out much better than my cooking. Pics to come!

DIY Boot Socks

How To:
What you need:
1) plain chunky tall sock: I found the plain sock at Tjmaxx
2) lace, I purchased 2 yards
3) 4 buttons

I sewed the lace onto the top of sock while it was on my leg because the sock stretches but the lace does not so I wanted to make sure that I did not sew the lace too tight
I then cut a small piece of lace and sewed it down the side with the ruffled part facing back
Last I attached the buttons over the lace down the side

This was fairly easy and a lot of fun, I am ready to make more in fun colors!

Make a Statement

Necklace: Kate Spade

How to wear this:
Evening:  LBD (little black dress) with nude pumps and a simple earring. I like statement necklaces on top of fabric so a boatneck dress would really make this necklace pop.
 Day: a pair of dark denim jeans a flowing cream or blush blouse with flats or riding boots, throw a coat or layer a sweater for a more dimensional outfit.
