Giveaway: Be My Clementine

I’m not a good cook. I felt like I’ve tried (my hubby would argue against that), but just cannot get it down pat. I don’t know if it is a fear of getting hurt or just a lack of understanding of all things culinary (my mother never cooked either so I didn’t grow up in a kitchen), but I’m pretty terrible. I plan on continuing to make attempts, as I’d like to be able to cook something for our future children, but I digress.

Something I am good at is baking. I really enjoy it and find it to be therapeutic, especially while done listening to amazing music and sipping on good wine. It also makes me feel very girly and domestic for some reason, and every now and then, I like that. And for those fun baking-related therapy sessions of one, cute protective wear is needed. Cue Be My Clementine!

1. Ban.do Sequin Shoe Clips

Could these get any cuter? Ban.do never fails to produce the most fun accessories on the planet. These sequin heart shoe clips instantly make a boring pair of shoes turn into a party on your feet! I love all things glittery and sparkly so these immediately called to me. They have most definitely been added to my Christmas wish list (listening husband?) and should be added to yours too! FYI, there are plenty of other shoe clip styles to choose from on the site if these are not for you (but seriously, how could they not?).

1. Vivienne Westwood Shoes

I’ve decided that Vivienne Westwood is a vile and evil sorceress that is hell bent on destroying my bank account. I also place a little of the blame on Rock ‘n Roll Bride for introducing me to her absolutely adorable collection. The second I set eyes on them I became obsessed with having them, along with the heart shoes. I started scouring Ebay and Google in a frenzy, but unfortunately, they are still out of my price range. I’m hoping someone somewhere will take pity on me and purchase them for me. Gosh, this shoe fetish is just getting out of control.

Potter Heads

Chances are, if you read my blog, you are a part of some sort of fandom. And the chances, again, are pretty high that one of those fandoms is the Potter franchise. If you are a Potter fan (or Potter Heads, as we are called), there is a serious countdown in your agenda right now: the premiere of Deathly Hallows Part 1. The movie will be released on November 18th in both traditional and IMAX theaters, and I already have my tickets for opening weekend in hand! Not only will I be attending the movie itself, but I will be attending a themed party afterwards so it is imperative that I ditch that boring Muggle wear and pick up some wizard-worthy threads. Thankfully, I’ve found the Evietees Etsy Store! They carry all sorts of fun Potter gear that cannot be found in your run-of-the-mill, local Hot Topic assuring that you will be wearing a unique piece of Potter-dom. Accio fun!

1. DIY Colored Mason Jars

It’s no secret: I love easy DIY projects! Although I don’t consider myself to be very crafty, I can do spray painting without any difficulties. Promise. And this simple DIY project consisting of a can of spray paint and a pack of mason jars really does it for me. Just think of these pretties adorning a table at an event or even as a centerpiece for a shower – they would be so perfect! And the best part is that they would take minimal time and effort, as well as be gentle on your wallet. I, for one, can’t wait to give these babies a test run. If you are also interested, you can pick up large packs of mason jars at Big Lots for under $15! Thank me later 😉
