Floral Jeans: the Floral Trend

I gave in and got myself a pair of floral jeans!

I love them!

There are ton of pinterest inspiration so I am excited to try and wear these jeans with different tops!

What do you guys think?

Blog Remodel

This weekend and weekends to come I am going to be slowly working on my own blog design!

I by no means have any skill in this arena but my hubs agreed to help with the artistic part.

Hopefully sometime in the future I can have a layout that is all my own!

Below are some of my favorite headers for a little inspiration :)

If you have any tips or tricks let me know!!

How do you see my blog layout? Polkadots, Chevron, Vintage, Classy?? I have no idea!

Blue for Leopard Print

I loved wearing this outfit last week!
So comfortable and I don't wear this shirt nearly enough.
I also bought this necklace in chicago at Forever 21 and it didn't go with as much as I had hoped because of how low the chains hang.
But I finally found a shirt it went well with.
I didn't get a good back shot but I realized I wore the shirt backwards!
but it totally work and who am I to complain?
I love when that happens!

Details:
Shirt: Old Navy (old)
Jeans: Joes
Belt: Old Navy
Necklace: F21
Shoes: DSW

It's the Weekend! Have a great weekend :)

DIY: Feather Earrings

I made some feather earrings awhile ago but haven't warn them because the feathers hang to close to my neck and they are rather uncomforatable. So I decided to give it one more try only this time make the feathers not so close to the earrings themselves.

Supplies:
6 pieces of chain: 2 of 3 different lengths
2 large jump hooks
6 small jump hooks
2 earrings
6 crimps
6 feathers

Directions:
 1. Cut your chain into 3 different lengths and attach them to the jump hooks then to the earrings
2. Put crimps on all of your feathers
3. Hook the small jump rings to the crimps
4. Attach on feather to each chain
Done!

Making jewelry seems complicated, partly because of all of the supplies but once you start it is really simple!

What do you think? I love them! The chain adds a fun edgy twist!
