Hey Everyone! It's been a busy week! I took lots of outfit pics but haven't had the chance to get them up yet... But in honor of craft Sunday I thought I'd share the bracelet I made this weekend. Yes! I MADE this!! I'm so proud.

I originally found the idea on pinterest which led me to Beverly's wonderful blog, Flamingo Toes. She found the inspiration while browsing Anthro jewelry and decided to make her own! If you want step by step instructions just follow the link to her blog.

I decided to use the buttons and liner fabric on these otherwise ugly jeans along with some ribbon, lace and beads. I got the metal bracelet cuff at Michael's.

I wanted my bracelet to be Spring-y so I used some mustard and green fabric and turquoise beads - I can't resist turquoise jewelry!

Making the fabric into cute little yo-yo's was probably the hardest part of this project. The rest was pretty much just wrapping and gluing. And of course, placement.

And...the finished product!!

I love how it turned out! It looks as good as something you would find in a boutique and it was so simple and fun to make!

I've been so excited to put these photos up, I decided to skip over a few outfits and share them! I found this awesome yellow wall on the side of one of my favorite boutiques a couple blocks from my house and thought it would be a perfect backdrop.

This dress is a brand new find from another nearby boutique I love, and the blazer is new to me! I thrifted it and although it's a little big I absolutely love the style!

Oh, and check out my nail art! I got the idea from a pic of Zooey Deschanel (who I absolutely adore) 's adorable bow tie nails for the golden globes. I just switched up the colors a bit. And don't get too critical of my skills because this is my right hand...haha.

Well, I'm off to do a little DIY. I've been slacking on posting my little projects lately. Hopefully I'll have this one up soon :)

I'm wearing jeans! It's kind of rare that I do. I prefer dresses and skirts because I love to dress up and I wear jeans to work a lot. But on this particular day I decided to put together a more casual outfit....still, with heels of course!

I think this is the first time I've had my bag in a photo, which is crazy because I always have it with me! I absolutely LOVE this bag. I coveted it from the moment it appeared on ModCloth's website and it became mine on Christmas day :)

This green lace top was also gifted to me by my wonderful sister in-law. I was amazed by her ability to pick something so perfect for me! Green is one of my favorite colors right now and I always love a little lace.

And the heels?? I just have to tell you I picked them up for $10 on the sale rack at target! I love how neutral and elegant they are. They go with everything!!

lace top - gift

coat - Nordstrom Rack

jeans - Request

So, I'm lying in bed sick right now. What better time to blog? These photos really needed to be put up, too. They're a few weeks old.

I have a HUGE obsession with peter pan collars lately and this is currently one of my favorite dresses. It's black velvet with a crocheted peter pan collar. I wanted to style it a little different than I usually do so I wore this ruffle sweater over it but left the collar popping out. I even fooled my hubby into thinking it was a new sweater! Ha.

And...I'm wearing my dot tights again. I can't get enough of them!

P.S. I took Ethan to Tucano's for his birthday dinner (super sweet of me being a vegetarian and all, right?) He loved it! He even dared eat a chicken heart...yuck.

peter pan collar dress - Forever21

ruffle sweater - The Children's Place

boots - Forever Young Shoes

I decided I'd better get around to putting these photos up! It's my Hubby's birthday today so I'll be quick ;)

He took all these photos (he takes most of my photos just because he's around the most) and I think they turned out awesome! Especially the shoe shots! I saw these heels and HAD to have them. I love a shoe with a good pop of color! Especially with the rest of the outfit being neutral.

Outfit Details:

dress - Urban Wear

cardigan - ModCloth

leggings - Forever21

heels - Rue21

Hi everyone! Today I'm guest posting over at SHERRIAMOUR. My first guest post! Check it out!

(p.s. here's a preview of my next post!)

Did everyone have an awesome Valentine's Day?! Ethan and I sure did! We went out to dinner at an immigrant Italian restaurant in Salt Lake and went to an awesome Cursive concert afterwards :) Ethan's not really into Cursive like I am, but he's a sweetheart and took me anyway. I'm so lucky to be married to such a sweet, thoughtful, funny guy. I'm so glad he chose me!

So, here's some pics my awesome sister took of us this past weekend for Valentine's day (there's quite a few, sorry.)
