A big congratulations goes out to Caitlin Reynolds, who is the winner of the Lily Dawson Designs giveaway!!! I will be contacting you shortly to get your information so that your new bracelet can be on its way to you!
Thanks again to everyone that participated & shared the love.
Until next time!
1. Hair Chalk; Since my hair is shorter now, I don’t really have all the options I did before for fun ombre and fashion colors. That’s why I’m all about these temporary hair chalks! They are easy to apply, come in vibrant colors and wash out without a problem. Sign me up!
2. Batman Money Clip; I have a lot of nerds and dorks in my life. And I would never have it any differently. When I saw this Batman money clip, I knew I had found the perfect gift item! Definitely keeping for future reference.
3. Glitter Mani; Although I’m no longer very adventurous when it comes to unique manicures (they always seem easy enough, don’t they???), this one has me itching to attempt a recreation. I mean, does this read princess or what? May be worth the effort! 😉
4. Flamingo Bikini; It’s almost time for bikini season…well, let’s be honest. It Miami, it’s always bikini season! My first bikini encounter will be next weekend at the Floatopia event, and oh how I wish I could debut this ADORABLE number from Victorias Secret. Not only is it electric and fun, but it represents the 305 with its quirky little flamingos to the tee! Total must have.
5. DIY Ottoman; IKEA makes it so easy to have a fresh and hip home on a budget! Its affordable furniture makes it easy to use for DIY’s, especially this one. Seems like after only a few easy steps, you can have a statement piece for your living room (or even bedroom – think of it in front of your bed!). Best part? The grand total is a whopping $8! Love.
Remember my awesome necklace from yesterday’s post? Well, today you can enter to win your own Lily Dawson original! Up for grabs is a quad link bracelet (original retail $30) that is oh so cool & amazing – what I love about it the most is that it will literally go with everything and give that so-so outfit a little extra edge.
All you have to do is follow the instructions below. The only mandatory steps are to follow both myself and Lily Dawson Designs on Facebook. Pretty easy right? The only tough part will be waiting until the contest closes a week from today, April 16th (Tuesday), to find out who is the lucky winner!
Good luck everyone!
So, as you all can tell, I kind of like this blouse. Just a little. If I could wear it every day, I would. And I knew I had to recreate this outfit using it as soon as humanly possible. Of course, it helped that I added an extra special touch in the form of this gorgeous necklace from Lily Dawson Designs. The rhinestone necklace has this amazing ombre detail that makes it seem like it is on fire. I guess it lives up to its name, the Handpainted Flame necklace. Just call me Katniss Everdeen.

1. Glow stick pool; OK guys. How cool is this pool full of bright, shiny glow sticks??? I would have never thought to do this, and I definitely would have never thought it would look this cool! You better believe there will be some funky night swimming in my future!
2. Washi tape party decor; I am a big fan of good looking, but easy party decor so washi tape is high on my list of must-haves for this summer’s party season. Wrap some around a plastic cup and voila! Instant personality! You can beat it.
3. Denim heart DIY; Another fabulous DIY! Patterned jeans are still all the rage for Spring, but the perfect ones can be hard to find. That’s why sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and make your own personally perfect pair! This is another seemingly simple undertaking, but I’ll make sure to report back with my opinion. 😉
4. Lightsaber toothbrushes; I think I’ve found the coolest kid gift ever. Who would think that it would be a toothbrush?!? They are shaped like lightsabers and flash every 60 seconds to promote longer brushing intervals. My husband was super upset that they only come for children. I think there’s a market out there, Star Wars. Just sayin’.
5. Striped wedges; These gorgeous creatures popped up on the streets of Milan fashion week, and unfortunately the link didn’t give me the information I needed. Mainly, where I can get my grubby hands on them. ::sigh:: Oh well, they are probably completely out of reach budget-wise. Right? Right. So that means I shouldn’t obsessively stalk them, right? Right.
ps; liking the new format??
