Hi everyone, I know it's been forever. I have been a crafting maniac lately and I wanted to share one of my favorite diy's with you. It is easy and inexpensive and it adds a bit of uniqueness to your front door. This diy could be a great gift idea for anyone this holiday season. This diy was inspired from this <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/shes-kinda-crafty-3951941?post=3685472237&group=0&frame_type=a&context=&context_ids=&blog=3951941&frame=1&click=0&user=0&viewer=true" target="_blank">Reindeer wreath</a>. I loved the wreath, but with my glass storm door I can not have something to wide and I love using things I can get from the thrift store.<br />
<br />
Materials Needed:<br />
White paint<br />
Gold spray paint<br />
red paint<br />
White and gold material<br />
Reindeer paper mold<br />
gold trim<br />
white pompom trim<br />
Modpodge glue<br />
foam brush<br />
hot glue gun<br />
scissors<br />
<br />
<br />
First, the reindeer can be purchased at Joann fabrics. It was $9.88 with 30% off. I am sure they have it at other craft stores. The frame was a thrift store find for $2. Honestly, the hard part for me was deciding the frame size I wanted to use. I decided on the smaller frame, because I felt like the deer was more of the focal point.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXq13GJOLWolNeECrymN8fBfLQJIqIkyPvyAisOdsr5oWTG2TKqaGwchpTvuOP2nsHYTWoRq8nJIppExum3ebCzEdYA8zjweALrfGz-QzChWlZMsx75WQDblMY7Gr2Q2XdGseby8qPxpY/s1600/IMG_3563.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXq13GJOLWolNeECrymN8fBfLQJIqIkyPvyAisOdsr5oWTG2TKqaGwchpTvuOP2nsHYTWoRq8nJIppExum3ebCzEdYA8zjweALrfGz-QzChWlZMsx75WQDblMY7Gr2Q2XdGseby8qPxpY/s640/IMG_3563.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Second, paint your frame white and use Modpodge to glue the fabric to the underside of the frame. I applied glue to the back and the front of the material to make sure it was coated. I picked fabric that coordinated with my black front door. Also, spray paint your deer gold during this time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0sSfZOqt4Q98Rh6yamOidseS_1T2YMYa0uqkq8XYDkE6Ccw9VK-_e9HSJTLEGvcHl79q0QkG77NeKGbiAYQwoa2fwPPHBqJpo2z-nK1-Hwg4tyHmUiSxpCK3qmVvBah5cjAClDx-76s/s1600/IMG_3575.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0sSfZOqt4Q98Rh6yamOidseS_1T2YMYa0uqkq8XYDkE6Ccw9VK-_e9HSJTLEGvcHl79q0QkG77NeKGbiAYQwoa2fwPPHBqJpo2z-nK1-Hwg4tyHmUiSxpCK3qmVvBah5cjAClDx-76s/s400/IMG_3575.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Third, screw the backside and the frame together. Using a screw from each side, wrap the gold trim around and tighten. This will hold your trim in place and be used to hang your frame.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ndHFeqoHZlUX3-3I__W9MRMlBAxu6-dyOvwQi78-2Ku3CSRZmwGdFEfNQgRSFhwrjqGMotFgbfRZNgPUCQ9LGnQt8SSpLXX6lMUtsxPUJIc_yJwvkhEgHPYHnms0OvLb-EKNfG7d73M/s1600/IMG_3635.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ndHFeqoHZlUX3-3I__W9MRMlBAxu6-dyOvwQi78-2Ku3CSRZmwGdFEfNQgRSFhwrjqGMotFgbfRZNgPUCQ9LGnQt8SSpLXX6lMUtsxPUJIc_yJwvkhEgHPYHnms0OvLb-EKNfG7d73M/s400/IMG_3635.JPG" width="282" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Fourth, using your hot glue gun adhere the deer to the frame. You can add a red nose or leave it plan. I put a little red glitter on mine.<br />

<br />
<br />
Fifth, you will glue your trim to the antlers. Let it dry and it is ready to hang. I love it!!! I haven't decorated the front yet or left this wreath out because it is a tad early, but I wanted to share in case anyone wanted to make their own.<br />

I will be trying to post a few diys a week and some will be gift ideas for the holidays. I love to make people gifts, it makes it more personal to me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12539254912877997188noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794099959287673337.post-14988519497313701272014-03-11T18:51:00.003-07:002014-03-11T19:04:44.973-07:00Working Out Your StyleHi everyone! Well most of you know that I was a running maniac this past summer and fall. This winter has been a bust for running because the temps were just to cold. I was pretty bummed because I felt like I really enjoyed my running time because it was my "me" time. I could have joined a gym, but I prefer to run outside rather than a treadmill. Recently, I took a class that has reminded me that I need to actually schedule "me" time, whether that is running, blogging, or reading. Most of those things I try to squeeze into my life, rather than actually scheduling them and then they don't happen. It's hard because these are really things I do for me. I feel like as parents we give so much to everyone and slowly forget about the things we enjoyed. So, I am really glad I took this class, it has giving me inspiration. It has been in the 50's and 60's which feels like a heat wave and is perfect running weather. Even though I feel like I am starting over and my body is sore, every time I run I feel so good.<br />
This is not a fabulous style post, but one focused on your work-out style. I have noticed the trend that pretty much any store has work-out wear. You can find work-out wear for many price points, from Forever 21 to Lululemon. I don't have a specific place I shop for work-out wear, but I do tend to shop at Marshalls because they have brands I like for cheaper. I usually wear my workout clothes through out the evening, so I like to wear pieces that I can throw on with a jacket and go on errands. (Unless I am crazy sweaty)<br />

Hi everyone, since my last post, my birthday came and went. My husband, Ryan, gave me these fabulous Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses. I have been wanting a pair of aviators for awhile, but I couldn't find a pair that fit my small face. The pair he bought for me are perfect. I think it was so thoughtful that he took our daughter and they picked them out together. Recently, a trend that I noticed making a comeback is "the overall". I used to own a sweet pair from the Gap. My Gap overalls are one of those things that I am so mad that I gave them away. I was pumped on a recent trip to Madewell, I came across their Park Overalls. I think this is a great look for the spring and summer, but the price point is high at $148.00. <br />
<br />

So, I got to looking for a pair that fit my criteria. My criteria includes a worn wash, loose fitting, and no belt loops(weird I know). Well, I happy to tell you I found this great pair from American Eagle for 1/3 the price. (and I love them better than the Madewell overalls). <br />

Hi, everyone! I don't know about you guys, but I am glad the weekend is here. I have a few things to post. First, this past weekend I got a new lipstick from Mac called, Up the Amp. For me, a new lipstick shade is a great addition to any assemble. This bright shade gives me hope that spring will soon be here. </div>

Second, most of you guys that read my blog know that I am trying to grow out my hair. I haven't cut it yet in 2 1/2 months, so my mullet is getting long. In the past when I have tried to grow my hair out, I usually keep getting the back trimmed. This time I am using my mullet to my advantage. I actually have been twisting up the back and bobby pinning it up. Some of the back pieces still hang down, but it gives the illusion of my hair being longer. This style might be an idea for those gals that have told me they are also growing their hair out.</div>

Lastly, I have wanted an anorak jacket for a while. I purchased this Xhilration jacket from Target for less than $50.00. What I love about the jacket is the leather quilting detail and it is more form fitting. Many of the anorak jackets I have tried on seem very large and boxy, so I am glad I held out for this one. So, a score for Target!<br />

I was excited to be asked to participate in Polyvore's weekly outfit challenge with Modcloth. When I heard it was for <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/clothing?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=G.SEM.US_BR.X_ModCloth_General&utm_term=modcloth]&utm_content=e&kid=695f30" target="_blank">Modcloth</a>, which I adore, I was so excited to participate. The highlight of my collage is Modcloth 's Classic Stunner Dress in Floral. This dress is fabulous all by itself, but my style tends to be casual. So, many of the pieces I combined with the dress would lend itself to my casual style. I came up with at least 8 different outfit combinations from this one collage. I am sure there could be many more.<br />

Hi everyone! It was finally warm enough to wear my new Franco Sarto red flats I just purchased at Marshalls. Perfect timing for Valentine's Day. I love this pop of color and they will get lots of wear and tear this spring and summer. I paired them with my Merona plaid blazer that I thrifted. It seems like the nautical look will be in full effect this spring, but I think it's always a classic look. My hair update is that it has been exactly two months of growth. I think it has grown between an 1 1/4 inch and 1/12 inch. Which is fabulous, because I have read that usually your hair grows a half an inch to one inch a month. I have been styling it in a few different ways, which I will show soon, but today I just left it au naturel. Growing my hair out is a process, since it was so short to begin with. I think the really awkward look will be happening soon. Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend and I have to get back to helping my kids make their Valentines.<br />

Hi everybody, I hope you had a great weekend. Recently, one of my friends went to NYC. She came back with a similar sweatshirt like the one in this post. I adored it and thought to myself, I can make it especially with my new sewing machine. So, I picked up this sweatshirt from the thrift store and a 24 inch black zipper from Hobby Lobby. Total this project was $7.00 and the zipper was actually more expensive than the sweatshirt. You may have a sweatshirt in your closet that you can use. This zipper is purely decorative, but if you are skilled in the sewing department you could make it functional. This project is so easy and I loved how it turned out. Zippers are my new favorite embellishment. <br />

Materials you will need for this project are a sewing machine, black thread, 24 inch zipper, scissors, stick pins, and a sweatshirt.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1: Lay your sweatshirt on a flat surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg92KFSFJD37CXzabPgLd5DB3DLB-BbwYKKNS3NUV95t8WBKri196Aeg57pB-CUiVz88D08utZbZA3iDARfRcXXrHpbTG-2tnL5bz-ECtFlgKmlROUSTFL3ITdgyBE-PPLhenoYaeBL1Y/s1600/IMG_5067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg92KFSFJD37CXzabPgLd5DB3DLB-BbwYKKNS3NUV95t8WBKri196Aeg57pB-CUiVz88D08utZbZA3iDARfRcXXrHpbTG-2tnL5bz-ECtFlgKmlROUSTFL3ITdgyBE-PPLhenoYaeBL1Y/s1600/IMG_5067.JPG" height="261" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Lay your zipper across your sweatshirt diagonally. I placed the top of the zipper a little over my shoulder. Use stick pins to keep zipper in place.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11jBrKiM1ipyt8757KWfpp6pDfeGbiSalQwZTaSUF_jV4RqL8wsrJQ8HEZ3aC9k0CUVtbang99Vq-dWACFDjd6Vs3xvqbdFGFOCIukyCqar5FBiJDqkd3wc9kYmbAAssXbM9r0gCC0G0/s1600/IMG_5069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11jBrKiM1ipyt8757KWfpp6pDfeGbiSalQwZTaSUF_jV4RqL8wsrJQ8HEZ3aC9k0CUVtbang99Vq-dWACFDjd6Vs3xvqbdFGFOCIukyCqar5FBiJDqkd3wc9kYmbAAssXbM9r0gCC0G0/s1600/IMG_5069.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 3: Sew the zipper on. My sewing skills are not the best and if your line is not perfectly straight the black material beside the zipper hides your line. You can leave the zipper closed or open. For a different look, leave open to see the material between the zipper.<br />

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. With the beginning of a new year, many of us have made resolutions. One of those may be to spend less money. One way you can stick to this resolution is by thrifting. I recently went thrifting and purchased eight items for a total of $26.79. One of my items was this vintage sweater. I absolutely loved the bright color, boat neck, embellishment of flowers, and being vintage this is one of kind. Actually, in this post's outfit everything is thrifted except for my H&M black skinny jeans. If you think you may like to try thrifting you may want to consider these things:<br />
<br />
1. Be open to one size higher than your normal size. Just like when we wash things they make shrink a tad, so you may wear a medium instead of that regular small.(it is used)<br />
2. Look in all areas of the store, people sometimes put their unwanted items anywhere.<br />
3. Thrifting can be for everyone in your family. I picked up my daughter 2 items this trip.<br />
4. Certain days of the week are better for thrifting. The day I went one of the stores had the whole store 50% off.<br />
5. Keep all the items you are interested in buying in the cart until the end. If you set something down someone might pick it up and then it's gone.<br />
6. Consider current trends or styles. <br />
7. Have an open mind and have fun.<br />

In my last post, I made my declaration to grow out my hair. Even with something as small as growing out your hair you should set a goal. My goal is a shaggy bob with longer layer bangs. So, I have been busy on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/carrieteal1/favorite-hairstyles-for-the-growout/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> setting up my board of bobs to be inspired by. These are a few of my favorites.<br />

Hi everyone, don't pass out because I have two posts this week! In this post, I am sporting a casual combination including my favorite Sorel Slimpback boots. I am announcing I have decided to grow out my hair. I have had short hair <u>FOREVER</u>. I love my short hair, but I think it's time for a change. I am telling all of you, so it keeps me accountable and I am less likely to cut it in the next few months when it starts to look funky. Like in this photo, I will be wearing a lot of hair accessories to get me through this grow out period. I have been doing my research on things that can help me grow out my hair as fast as possible. These are a few tips I have found:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Try not wash your hair a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Use a deep conditioner treatment at least once a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Take Biotin to aid in hair health and growth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Drink water and exercise</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Be patient</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
These two suggestions I wasn't sure about, first using Biosilk shampoo and conditioner. Lastly, an egg white treatment, the protein is great for healthy hair.<br />

Hello everyone, I have been on a hiatus. I have taken many pictures, but nothing has stood out that said blog about this. I think part of it is this weather and on this day it was actually descent. It was a few days after we had negative 30 temperatures with wind chills. During those cold days, I did venture to the mall. I snagged this Forever 21 Olive Moto jacket. I have been wearing it a ton. I love the embellishment of the gold spikes. It makes the jacket edgy and feminine at the same time.<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">With the stores starting to get spring items in, they have a plethora of winter items on sale. I heard one girl as I was shopping say, " I don't look at anything that isn't around 10 dollars". So, that got me thinking of what I ask myself when I am doing end of the season shopping. Ask yourself:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1. Am I just buying this item because it is cheap?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. Do I already have something similar in my closet?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. Would I have bought it at the regular price?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4. Would I rather buy four sale items or buy the shirt I really want at regular price?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you answer yes to any of the following questions, then you should probably not buy that sale item. Back away from the sales rack and get what you really want. Don't get me wrong I have bought sale items in the past, just because they are on sale. Now I really try to be more selective, because all of those sale items add up.</span></div>

Hi everyone! I have been on a hiatus for a while. I have been working on a few projects like redoing my daughter's room, a cool DIY at West Elm( I will tell you about later), sledding and making my house a winter wonderland. Also, my youngest brother came home from Habitat for Humanity over Thanksgiving. I loved spending as much time as I could with my family over the holiday. Lately, this is as fabulous as my fashion has been because it has already snowed 3 days here! My beanie and Sorel boots have been an intricate part of my wardrobe. My style lately has been more about warmth and comfort. I promise I will be stepping it up soon!<br />

This post has a few of my fall fav's. First, is my fair isle sweater that I thrifted for $1.99. This screams fall and winter because it's warm and cozy. Second, my Sorel Slimpback boots. These boots are lined and great for cold, rain, and snow and very stylish distressed look. I am so glad I read the reviews before I order them, because these boots have a small shaft which is great for me. One tip, when looking for Sorel boots, is look at <a href="http://www.sorel.com/" target="_blank">Sorel.com</a> because their sale section is fabulous. I did my research and they offered the most reasonable prices. Last for my fav's, I love knee high or over the knee socks. One of my favorite brands for these type of socks are <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/tudor-tall-sock-28960623/_/searchString/over%20the%20knee%20socks/QUERYID/52783e998570a316b4000b2c/SEARCHPOSITION/0/CMCATEGORYID/683d4023-53f5-49" target="_blank">Free People</a>, but the price point is a little high at $24.00. So, my solution has been leg warmers. instead of wearing them outside of your boot, wear them on the inside. The leg warmers allow me to adjust for the look of over the knee or at the knee. I have found a great selection of leg warmers at Marshall's for $4.99.<br />

</div>
Hi everybody, I hope you are having a great week. The weather seems to be changing very quickly. Before I keep applying layer upon layer- because I can not stand being cold, I wore this outfit combining my H&M leather skirt and Tildon lace shirt. Style often portrays your personality. Leather is material that represents tough and strong, while lace represents sensitive and feminine. Combining these materials, they greatly compliment each other. But if you think about your personality, would you consider yourself lace, leather, or a combination of the two. I am definitely a combination of the two. I think my exterior portrays tough and determined, but on the inside I am very sensitive.<br />

I have had some technical difficulties, but I have couldn't wait to get back. Today is my son's birthday, I can't believe my sweet Harrison is seven. Man how time flies, I try to cherish every moment I have with my rugrats. Last week, my kids and I stopped at a pumpkin patch and my daughter snapped these photos for me while we were there. My daughter Carter is eleven and often takes my pictures for me. I feel like she has a great knack for photography. I told her last year, I thought she should sign up for her yearbook to take pictures. It was to late for her to sign up, but this year I am happy to say that she is on the yearbook committee for photography. I spotted her talent a while ago. For a novice, Carter has a sense of lighting, background, closeups, and an awesome sense of style. For this post, you guys know I have a great love for animal print, so these H&M dalmatian print skinnies I thrifted are a great addition to my closet for fall. I paired them with my "Oxblood" H&M sweater, which is a color that stayed around from last fall. <br />

I can't believe it's already October and fall is in full force. My favorite thing about fall is the layering. Layering for me is accessorizing with my scarves for some extra warmth for those chilly mornings. I recently added this H&M snakeskin scarf to my collection of animal print scarves. This outfit has actually has been my go to outfit lately because these Rubbish moto leggings are so comfortable. I have had many people ask me if they are jean material, but they are comfortable cotton. I love incorporating animal print into many of my outfits, so I am excited this week to be participating in <a href="http://www.therichlifeonabudget.com/p/how-i-wear-my.html" target="_blank">'How I Wear My Animal Print'</a> over at Adrienne Shubin's<a href="http://www.therichlifeonabudget.com/" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">The Rich Life on a Budget.</a> <br />

Hi everyone I am so glad the weekend is here! But for us, it's one of those weekends that you know is going to be so busy that you won't feel rested on Monday. Maybe if I get a chance I will be able to work on a DIY or two. This post features my Topshop Graffiti print dress. Besides the fabulous cobalt blue color, this dress makes me feel like I am wearing a piece of artwork. I first spotted the dress in the <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-savvy-trends-clothing?mow=http://m.nordstrom.com/c/womens-savvy-trends-clothing?keyword=savvy" target="_blank">Savvy Trends</a> on Nordstrom's website. I was bummed to find out that many of Nordstrom stores only carry <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/all-topshop?campaign=0911boutiquep01" target="_blank">Topshop</a> online, not in stores. After stalking this dress online, it went on sale and was mine. The only problem was the dress was about 4 inches to long. Nordstrom doesn't provide free alterations to sale items, but they do give Nordstrom credit holders an alteration credit.(Which was news to me!)My tip for the week, if you buy something and invest the money you want it to fit you correctly, so always spend the extra money for alterations.<br />

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a great week. I want to share a few things. For the last two months, I have starting running. Prior to having kids I ran, but I must say now, as a mom, I love the 30 to 45 minutes that I get for myself. Even when I am so tired, after I run I feel like I have so much energy. My brothers and I use the Nike + app, which allows us to provide challenges to each other and win medals. This is fabulous because I am only a little competitive.(Sure!) My poor brothers are the most laid back people and think I am a little crazy with all my smack talk, but man has it motivated me. If you don't have a running partner this app is the next best motivator. So, if you wonder where I have been, it's running like a champ. In two months, I have run a little over 100 miles. Next, I am excited to say that I have been nominated for <a href="http://voiceboks.com/top-50-moms-who-blog-about-fashion-beauty/" target="_blank">Voice Bok's Top 50 Moms Who Blog About Fashion & Beauty Contest</a>. The blogs that are in this contest are fabulous, so I am excited to be included. I would love for you to vote for my blog and you can vote by clicking below the icon, where it says vote here. You can vote once a day and the contest lasts for 38 days. Now for this post, plaid is a trend continuing this fall. I love plaid, and when I came across this little number at T.J Max, I knew it was for me. It actually seems the plaid was tie dyed with bleach. This would be a great DIY with you husbands old plaid shirt in the closet.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hi everyone, I hope you had a
great weekend. One highlight from my weekend was when I received my gift package from <a href="http://www.i-ella.com/thelist/" target="_blank">The List</a>, by l-ELLA. The List<b> i</b><span style="color: #222222;">s a</span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">monthly
subscription program where members receive a gift bag of new designer goodies
(clothing, handbags, shoes and/or accessories). Also included are various free beauty product samples.</span> I was offered a chance to review one of their gift bags and was immediately thrilled with their in-depth style profile. It gave me the opportunity to relate my personal style and I couldn't wait for the experience. I must say, this gift bag nailed my style which is hard to do with my funkiness. Here is how the process works:</span></span><br />

I did get a chance this past weekend to do a little shopping with my friend and our daughters. While shopping I found these Steve Madden Creation Boot. Over the knee boots are a big trend for this fall. These boots just hit me over my knee cap, so that are not considered over the knee, but they are exactly what I had in mind. I tried many pairs and styles on and you know exactly when something fits in your style. This boot seems to fit better around my skinner leg and these will go with everything. You guys might actually get sick of seeing them. This day I had a great sales lady, not to pushy, brought me many styles and let me decide. My friend on the other hand had a very pushy sales lady, I felt like she wanted that sale and said everything looked good. Luckily my friend and I had each to her to give our honest opinions . I usually buy a new pair of boots for the fall and I am very happy with my purchase!<br />

Hi everyone,I hope you had a great weekend. While I was at the pool I received an email from Pinterest letting me know that something I pinned was on sale for 50% off. I didn't know that Pinterest provided this service and I was pretty pumped. I will definitely be pinning more items, how cool to know exactly when they go on sale. Last Thursday, I was having on of those I want to be comfortable at work days. Actually, lately I seem to be all about comfort and style. These sweatpants were my first H&M online purchase and I couldn't be happier with them. I am normally not a sweatpants gal, but I was drawn to the textured two toned material. So, off to work I went with them paired with my Zara heels.<br />

I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend. I think we will definitely hit the pool, since these temperatures are hotter than ever. This past weekend, I came across these four cloth chairs for $50.00 at the thrift store. I actually have been wanting chairs similar to these, but I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for my kitchen, where they will get spilled on. When I was at the store, I told the sales clerk they were great. She said, "they would be great if you could reupholster". I thought well I can't, but at 50 bucks I could give it a try. I definitely didn't like the original material on it, but they were solid and sturdy. I am so pleased with how they turned out and if you want to reupholster a chair maybe then this DIY will help.<br />

<br />
Materials needed for this project are scissors, material(you will need to figure amount), staple gun, staples, nail head studs, hammer, tape measure, screwdriver, patience, and time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First measure your chair seat and back to figure out yardage. I needed 5 yards. Lay material flat and cut pieces for seat and back of chair. <br />

<span id="goog_1753310"></span><span id="goog_1753311"></span><br />
<span id="goog_1753310">Second, cover the material over the seat. Make sure the material is tight and lined up with your pattern. First, staple the sides and trim as needed.</span> I did not take off original material. I think that is getting way to crazy for a beginner.<br />

<span id="goog_1753310">Third, for the front of the chair I pulled the fabric over and stapled. </span>For the chairs legs, I used a screwdriver to push the material up evenly.<br />

<span id="goog_1753310"></span><span id="goog_1753311"></span><br />
Fourth, pull the material down tightly to cover the staple. Staple the material on the bottom.<br />

<span id="goog_1753310"></span><span id="goog_1753311"></span><br />
<span id="goog_1753310">Fifth, starting the back of the chair. Staple the material to the bottom of the back</span>. Then, staple the material as seen in the photo. You want to make sure that you leave the longest piece of material to fold over. <br />

Sixth, the sides were the part of the project that took the longest. You will need to fold over material and hammer in the nail heads. I made sure these went through the wood, so they were secure enough to hold the material. I used 12 nail heads on each side. Also, cut over the excess material, so to get rid of the bulkiness.<br />

Lastly, I reapplied the black material that came with the original chair. It gives it a finished look and hides at the staples and material. <br />

<span id="goog_1753310">The first chair took the longest, but after I figured out the steps, each chair took a half an hour. These chairs are my favorite new edition to our house. My kids enjoyed doing their homework here this week. Well, as much as kids love homework.</span><br />

Hi everyone, I hope your week is going well. I don't know about you guys, but I already can't wait for the three day weekend. This past weekend I worked on a DIY, so be sure to look for it this Friday. My post today features my H&M animal print pencil skirt. I loved the combination of two different animal prints, leopard and snake skin, with a worn look. I am sure you guys know this info, but in case you haven't heard <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/" target="_blank">H&M</a> now has online shopping available for the U.S. I am really excited about this! I paired this skirt with my favorite AE chambray shirt. Someone once told me that a necessity in a closet is a great white collared button up, I think for me it's a chambray shirt. It's always my go to piece especially for fall.<br />

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great week. This post is dedicated to booties. Probably not the kind you are thinking about, but the shoe. I am so happy that this trend is continuing this fall. Booties are very versatile and can be worn with almost any outfit. One difference I have noticed in booties this fall, from previous seasons, are the shaft tends to be shorter. The top of the boot shaft hits right at my ankle. I snagged these cute Mossimo booties from Target for $9.99. These booties from <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steven-by-steve-madden-jaane-bootie/3387783?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=steven_by_steve_madden_%27jaane%27_bootie:616542&cm_pla=shoes:women:bo" target="_blank">Steven by Steve Madden</a> are almost identical looking, but not in price. Definitely check out Targets' clearance shoes, many of them are great for fall. Not sure again why these are on sale in the store, but regular price online. Have a good rest of the week.<br />
