A Little DIY Before President's Weekend

We are all for anything that organizes our lives a little bit.  Especially involving our ever-evolving wardrobe and accessories!

We came up with a thrifty way of organizing our rings that will only cost you the price of a carton of eggs.

Here's the guidelines:

Supplies needed--

1. Fabric Scissors

2. Piece of Jersey fabric

3. Paper Cement glue--something like this works fine

4. Egg carton (top cut off)

Step 1--

Using your fabric scissors cut your fabric in 3 inch long squares

(You will probably end up only needing 6 of these squares in total)

Step 2--

With your 3 inch long squares cut, fold it in half (raw edges together), then cut in half

Step 3--

Cut these pieces in half, glue them together and also glue the bottom of the fully formed piece pasting it inside each egg cartridge

Voila!

xoxo!

Hopes this inspires you a bit

New Addition To The Family

I have a unhealthy relationship with cross body bags.  If I see one in a print, unique fabrication, or bold color, I just have to have it!

I guess we all have our own guilty pleasures mine happens to be purely sartorial.

Newest Beauty Must-Haves: Mary Margaret

1.) Chanel Inimitable Mascara - my lashes have no curl to them.  Literally I think they stick straight out.  The other day I went a department store in search of the perfect mascara.  I went to several counters and had them do demonstrations on me.  After Chanel, I was sold.  The best curl, the best hold, and the best wand.  I highly recommend it.

2.) Bobbi Brown has a new liquid eyeliner in their Spring Collection.  I have always loved the look that liquid eyeliner gives, but I never have a steady enough hand.  If you can hold a pen, you can use this one!  No re-dipping and easy to grasp.  

3.) I have recently learned to curl my hair (yes, it took me 23 years to figure it out).  My hairdresser recommended this Conair curling iron and I love it.  Plus,  it is an amazing price! (pretty much any drugstore)

4.) Stella Nude by Stella McCartney - the most amazing spring fragrance.  Love at first smell.

5.) Scott Barnes Bronzer - Amazing bronzer with gold particles in it...need I say more? (sold at Bath & Body Works)

6.)  Michael Kors Shimmer Stick - it is almost dress season, and although I am going to try and get tan this summer, I will never have that shiny thing going on on my legs that the celebs have.  Look no further!  Michael Kors makes these shimmer sticks that one, smell amazing...and two, give you that shiny/glowy thing I have always wanted.  I got mine at sephora and I have had it for years.

ENJOYYY!!! Mary Margaret

Ultimate Cool

 

Throw on a cropped jacket to add some mixed texture, difference of proportion, or an ease of cool to your look.   Especially with today being the first day of NYFW make sure to throw this on to complete your outfit!

 

And in honor of Fashion Week...

Eyebrows: yes please

As you probably know, eyebrows are the must have beauty/fashion accessory of the year.  We have found a few items that make this statement a little easier and less time consuming.

1.  Chella eyebrow stencils.  (they make a lot of other great products)

2.  Smashbox eyebrow kit.

3.  Claudio Riaz eyebrow brush.
