Jessica Biel in Dior

I am so happy that these huge 50's styled circle skirts are back!  I think they are just so adorable, especially this mini Dior frock that Jessica Biel wore to the ESPY awards.  She looks flawless.  There is plenty more circle skirt madness to come on my blog, because like most trends this chick (thats me) is obsessed.

Isabel Marant Sneakers

I must admit, for as shoe obsessed as I claim to be, I do not own a ton of shoes.  I honestly can count on one hand how many shoes I have.  I have nude flats, flip-flops, high tops, then two pairs of boots.  I think I need more shoes.  I fear if I were to buy one pair, that thirty more would follow.  Ever since I posted a few days ago about the Isabel Marant sneakers, I have been looking at them with awe.  I want a pair of amazing sneakers like those.

Diane Kruger in Marchesa Gown

Normally, I do not like all the frills, feathers and lots of glitz.  I have to admit, I really like this dress.  I think it is the perfect combination of everything together without over doing it.  Great look!  I am working on a few other posts.  I have been lacking inspiration recently, and that is just the worst feeling.

Elizabeth Olsen and Dakota Fanning

I am so excited that Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen are making a film together!  They are two people with awesome style. They have been photographed hanging out on set and their style is just awesome!

Dreams

Did you ever have a dream about an outfit?  Then you wake up and think, wow that would be an awesome look.  Later, as you piece the outfit together you begin to realize it is not so great after all.  Well, I had one of those dreams recently and came up with these pieces below.  An odd mix, but at least I have some sort of style in my dreams.  I was also just purchasing coffee in the dream, so I am not exactly sure why all of the butt kicking clothing was necessary.

Heat Wave Inspiration Pictures!!

Oh my goodness, HEAT WAVVEEEE!!!!  I am not looking forward to the weather the next few days because the temperatures are all in the 100s.  The air condition at my house is broken so it is currently in the high 80's-90's inside my room.  We are hopefully getting it fixed tomorrow.  I figured I would just post some pictures inspired by this incredible heat wave.  Think cool beachy like thoughts and have a great day in the sun and heat!

Candice Gordon Music/ Selena Gomez in Alice & Olivia

Yay for internet service!  I always say I never want to depend on any type of technology, but for the past two days I have unexpectedly not had any internet.  I realized I do depend on the internet too much.  It is quite addicting and so much fun to play on.  I am happy to be back online!

     The first thing I want to share is a music video by Candice Gordon.  This particular album or song does not come out until September 7.  I do not think I can wait that long.  I found this video on nylonmag, and did not like it at first listen.  I kept singing it in my head about a billion times and now I am obsessed.  This song and video are just badass and I am loving it.  The only way to see the video though, is to click the nylonmag link.  Enjoy!
   Now onto fashion, I love this simple yet chic look that Selena Gomez wore.  I like fashion that looks laid back but still has that high fashion flair to it.  The top is by Alice & Olivia.

DIY: Vintage Styled Bow Headband

This past week I attempted to do something creative each day.  After picking up a few extra hours at work, other errands and a day spent at the pool, my week was quite full.  The first day I cleaned my disaster of a sewing area.  I organized every thread spool, every scrap of fabric and everything else.  I found great fabric combinations which were quite inspiring for some new projects.  Day 2, I needed to spend more time cleaning and organizing my sewing area.  Day 3, I went shopping, which is creative I guess.  I bought a beautiful fake diamond ring and sparkly eyeshadow.  Both things I have wanted for a while and was quite pleased to finally find them.  I got both of these items for a great deal.  Day 4/5 were spent creating a DIY which I am about to share with you.  I hope that I am able to really make a plan this week and begin creating something incredibly awesome and special to share with all of you.  For now here is my new headband which I am just obsessed with.
     I know so many people who have old oversized t-shirts.  I never throw clothes out.  I make it my personal challenge to create something different with it.  I created a top out of an old t-shirt a while back and saved the short sleeves.  Since I am just an odd person, I put the sleeve on my head and realized it looked awesome as a headband.  I decided to turn the old short sleeve into this fun vintage headband.  If you have an old t-shirt cut off the sleeves, find some scrap fabric that is 15X10 and have fun.  Here is how to...

Things you will need...

-thread

-ruler

-pins

-scissors

-a sleeve or stretchy fabric

-scrap cotton fabric for the bow

-coffee (not necessary really, but my coffee always finds its way into my pictures)

-Cut a rectangle out of the bow fabric that is 15" by 10"

-Fold in half.

-Sew using a 1/2" seam allowance.

-Press seam open.

-Fold the fabric in half again to create the picture below.  Then pin and sew, leaving a small opening to flip the fabric right side out.

-Flip right side out to get the picture below.

-You can use a machine or hand sew the hole that is left.

-Turn the exposed seam to the inside.

-Cut another piece of fabric 4"X2". Sew using 1/2" seam allowance and flip right side out to get the picture below.

-Wrap tightly around the bow and pin.

-You may hand sew or use the machine to sew as close to the bow as possible.

-Next trim the sleeve down to the size you would like, depending on the size of your head.

-Next tuck the bow inside your sleeve and sew.

-Then you are ready to wear.  I took pictures on my computer because it does not show how bad my sunburn actually is.  Well, actually you can still see it on my shoulder, oops.
