Organic Bloom Style DIY

I have been in love with Organic Bloom frames for as long as I can remember, but definitely not with their prices or accessibility (or lack thereof). That’s why when I saw this DIY idea, I had to give it a go. Then, I noticed all the hateful comments on said DIY and all other repins from what I imagine are proud Organic Bloom owners? Or representatives? Either way, it made me start to feel differently about the brand (these comments have since been removed).

It rubbed me in such a bad way that these commenters kept saying there were no after photos of this project because it was such an awful idea that I had to do it. And post an after picture. In fact, several. And guess what? It looks great! So neener Organic Bloom – this is more than a worthy DIY project for those of us that want the look but without the dollar signs. Photojojo even posted a similar craft!
Plus, you can find more affordable alternatives at this Etsy shop, as well as at Cut It Out.

What I Wore: The Limited Pants

Finding the right fit and style when shopping for work pants has to be the worst. Well, let’s face it. Shopping for pants period is not the most enjoyable thing in the world. That’s why I love the modern fit and flare of the Drew pants from The Limited. As you can see, they look great paired with some fun, bold heels (something I believe should always be a staple with boring work outfits – you need a punch) and are endlessly comfy. Plus, they seem to flatter many different body types, even my curvy Cuban hips! 😉

Something else you might be noticing is my new ‘do! I recently got some Zooey Deschanel-esque bangs and I love them (well, until they develop a mind of their own – coming soon, I’m sure)!

Hunger Games Themed Party

This past weekend, I threw a Hunger Games themed birthday party for one of my closest friends, Lori. We gathered a group of hardcore fans of the book series and headed to see the film at Cinebistro with matching shirts that the hubs designed before heading over to our house to celebrate. I worked really hard on all the details, with help from the hubs and the bestie, and I was so happy with the way things turned out.

As for the movie, I think they did a good job. But, of course, a movie will never be as wonderful as a book. Never. Unfortunately, I think their biggest downfall was character development. There were a lot of relationships that were not delved into as they should have been and remained pretty superficial, but the acting was absolutely amazing. Jennifer Lawrence is my girl, yo.
