My Style:Fall Fun!

I am so ready for fall. I'm serious, it is my favorite season. I love the colors of the leaves and the crisp weather (although in Florida we don't really get much crisp weather, steamy...yes, crisp...not so much). I chose this outfit in honor of fall. The shirt was what started this outfit. I found it at my thrift store for $1 and knew I had to have it. And then the rest of the outfit just fell into place. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed wearing it.

I found this great headband from Forever21 that had feather coming down from it. And I really liked the feathers for this outfit because the colors were similar. So I took the chain with the feathers off the headband and instead put it on a bobby pin. And voila! I get the feathers without the headband. I guess you could call it a DIY but really I didn't do much.

Also, you know how I've been searching for a new bag? Well the search is over! I found this cute puppy on Sunday at Forever21. I wasn't planning to buy anything, I only went because my sister cannot shop alone (not sure why, I guess she just needs a second opinion) and we were about to leave when I saw it. It was gorgeous and I immediately fell in love. It slightly reminds me of a Birkin bag (except, you know, way cheaper) and so I marched right up to the counter and bought it and I haven't looked back yet. It literally goes with everything! I'm so obsessed with it. My only issue is that it's not very big, it's probably about a medium size bag and I'm used to huge ones so there is that but I knew that going in. I even asked at the register if it came any bigger lol (they looked at me crazy, then said no). But yes, if you are looking for a new purse as well I'm telling you now head to Forever21. Here are some shots of my new love.

Happy Thursday! It's almost the weekend yay. And I'm supposed to be doing something different this weekend. At least, that's what my fortune cookie said at lunch today. Oh, and in case you've been living under a rock and didn't know Happy National Noodle Day! I hope you got some noodles to celebrate like we did here at work lol.

Lots of love,

My style: DIYed shorts

I'm loving this "pull an idea out of a box" it has really helped me get over my rut and I'm discovering things in my closet that I forgot I had. Plus, I've been daydreaming about how I will put together different ideas for the site when they get pulled.

The most recent one I pulled was WEAR SOMETHING YOU DIYed and I immedately thought of these jean shorts I had just made. I have been having trouble finding shorts to wear lately they are either too short, too long, or tight in the thigh and big around the waist so when I saw a how-to on making shorts I knew I had to try it. I bought three pairs of pants: two jeans and one navy slacks (each for $1 at the thrift store!!!) and set to work. I love the way they turned out they aren't too tight or too loose. They are the perfect summer bottoms to add to my wardrobe. Well, I'm sure you've heard enough of me rambling so here are the pics.

In other news, my friend and I were downtown yesterday and were handed free tickets to see the new movie The Help tonight and so we went. She had been reading the book and coincidentally we were talking about the movie and how we wanted to see it on the way downtown. Let me just say the movie was VERY GOOD. I had expected it to be a good movie anout the racial differences then but they did such a great job with the story. And my friend said that the book was even better so I may have to pick that up as a quic read. How about you? Any plans to see the movie when it comes out? Or do you have any other books that are being made to movies that you can recommend?

Hope you're having a great week!
Lots of love,
