Cross Body Bags

During the warmer months, it can be a pain to drag around a huge purse. It's warm, and you don't want to be weighed down by a thousand unnecessary items. What's the solution? Small cross body bags! They are stylish, and can hold all the essentials. I really loved this range at ASOS inspired by Alexa Chung. What's so great is that they can easily go from a lazy day at the beach, to a dinner on the patio of your favorite restaurant- without looking out of place. Which color are you loving?

Forget what they say...

I am a girl who lives in black. These items are my current lusts: 

Towwer booties

Raceyy booties (god I love you so)

Studded clutch (how cliche of me...again with the studs!)

Michael Kors watch

Adventures in DIY!

I had the day free today, and decided to get crafty! I headed over to Kit Kraft in Studio City, because I knew they would have everything I needed. That place is amazing! It's so easy to blow money there! Anyhoo, I bought supplies to may some DIY bracelets- something I had been wanting to do, when my friend Marisa made a post about it! I ended up making 2 bracelets with chains in them- and even added clasps so I won't destroy them by wearing 'em in the shower. Of course I was mainly going to Kit Kraft to pick up my studs- the selection was pretty sweet, but I think you can get better deals online. I'll be doing that next time. I bought 2 bags of big studs and two of little guys- the little ones are going to be for that jacket/vest project. All that's left is to try the big studs on my cap and gown (which I picked up today)! I think it's pretty awesome that I will be graduating in the Staples Center! w00t! Watch out world, here I come! 

Taking It Into My Own Hands...

Tomorrow I will be picking up my cap and gown for my college graduation, and we were told we could do anything we like to decorate them. Hooray! So what else would yours truly do? STUD IT of course! That's right- I am going to stud my cap and a bit of my gown! I am going to try and get studs and a stud gun tomorrow, and start playing around with it. Also, at the internship today, our story featured this amazing Levis studded vest.  I had seen it in the office a few weeks ago, and just about keeled over with excitement. I am going to attempt to stud a fabulous vest as soon as I can. Right now I have so many DIY projects that I want to do! I will be sure to show you what I come up with!
