I am absolutely in love with this color for summer. That gorgeous turquoise green just reminds me of the beach, namely my most favorite place on Earth: the Florida Keys. This portfolio-style clutch from Asos would just cheer up any outfit, hell it would cheer me up everytime I looked at it! Unfortunately, it comes with a hefty price tag, but comfort yourself in knowing that Asos does not charge any shipping rates! Hey, as a shopaholic you always have to find the silver linings!
I kind of pride myself on planning some pretty fun parties. Although that means I feel some serious pressure during the planning phase, there really is nothing like the high of throwing a successful fiesta. And our Memorial Day pool party was nothing short of amazing, partly due to the fun photo booth we put together in our entry way. It was a super simple project: 2 yards of IKEA fabric, duct tape and lots of handmade props combined with dollar bin finds. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite shots.
These rings are just too much. When I stumbled on this photo on Pinterest, I thought I would be able to find a link to purchase them – little did I know they were a DIY project! I was floored…and after reading the simple tutorial, I was inspired to possibly make a trip to the nearest craft store and give it a whirl myself! These would also make really spectacular and unique gifts for girlfriends or family!
Nothing is more endearing than a chalkboard, hearts and an adorably nerdy couple. This engagement shoot pulls on all of my heartstrings. Future brides, take note. Find yourself a usable elementary classroom, pick up some colored chalk and a pair of grandfather cardigans, and you’ll be set! 😉
Well, I did say my wreath adventure was to be continued, and thankfully, I can say that the saga is done. Despite how tedious the process was, after a couple of days it became therapeutic. I would play one of my favorite iTunes playlists (lately it’s been Queen) and zone out in the art of yarn and glue guns.
And I’d like to share that experience with all of you in hopes that you can make your own wreath as well – even if it is not for the holidays, a nice wreath to hang at your front door or as interior decor never goes out of fashion. In fact, I plan on making a smaller one to hang year round!
So without further ado, here is Melificent’s very first tutorial:
