Do or Don't: Bows

When I first think of bows all I can think of is when parents throw a bow on their babies. Other than for the cuteness value, they also do it because let's face it sometimes it's really hard to tell if a baby is a girl or boy. But I don't think bows are only for babies! Whenever I think my outfit needs a touch of"girly" I like to add a bow and I think it's complete!

Here are some of my "bow loves"

Bows and wedges? I  see nothing wrong with this picture!

Another pair of my favorites: backless dresses and bows.

This simple rhinestone bow bracelet is adorable from Windsor

I've been loving this new trend of making a bow in you hair, out of your own hair!
Here's a great tutorial so you can do it yourself!
But I also swear by American Apparel's bow hair clips. They sell them in every color imaginable. 

This one's just for fun, Miss Mel and I are suckers for guys in bow ties and suspenders, but really what girl isn't?

This mint bow ring is a must have, as in my birthday is coming up and I must have it! 
*hint hint to any of my friends*

So what do you guys think? Are bows a do or don't? Let us know!

DIY: Earring Holder

In fashion boutiques and all over Pinterest, I've been seeing these mesh-wire earring/jewerly holders, so I decided to create my own! I'm pretty proud with how it turned out! 
Here's how to make your own.

Supplies:
Any size Picture Frame (plain or decorated)
*I got mine at Hobby Lobby*
1/4 inch Mesh-Wire
*to be purchased at any hardware store*
Wire Cutters
ModPodge
Plain Scrapbook Paper
Paintbrush

Step One:

Remove the glass and backboard of the picture frame.

Step Two:

Cut the mesh-wire to the size of your frame using the wire cutters (scissors will also work if you are using the 1/4 inch mesh-wire, which I highly recommend since earrings are small!)

Step Three:
Grab the backboard of the frame and your selected color of scrapbook paper to attach it to the backboard using a thin layer of ModPodge.

I chose brown scrapbook paper since my frame was extremely patterned. However, I think it would be cute to pick a patterned scrapbook paper if you had a plain frame to create some contrast!


Step Four:
Use your dry backboard and attach it back to the frame. The backboard will keep the mesh-wire in place.

And you're done!


What do you think? I would love to create a large scale one for my closet someday!

Bling Bling

Do you wear a lot of jewelry? I know Miss Heather and I typically wear the same pieces day in and day out but I got to thinking the other day about how much jewelry I own and little of it I actually wear! Does anyone else have the same problem....? 
I really hope it's not just me and I'm not some kind of jewelry hoarder or anything!

Below are some links to some pieces Miss Heather and I already own or want to add to our collection!










and just for fun,
this site on Etsy has the most beautiful vintage/antique rings.
I want them all!
*see how easily the problem begins...*
