A Shopping Tip
Several friends and followers of my Blog have
mentioned their interest in Forever 21 style, but are somewhat overwhelmed with
the amount of merchandise they sell. I have a simple, but effective tip I
can offer. Before traveling out to the actual retail store, I
simply go online and browse their website to narrow down some ideas. This
allows me to choose items that I am interested in and give me some idea as to what I
am looking for when I venture out to the actual store. I may even jot
down some items to expedite assistance from sales associates. Even if
they may not have the exact items I was looking for, they may be able to help
find a similar item, or let me know if the item is available online only.
Hopefully this quick tip will help save you some time and relieve any
overwhelming feelings with the plethora of clothing and accessories at some of these retail stores.
Don't forget to check out the contest that is still going on for the Forever 21 necklace. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

DIY- From Drab to Fab, Making a Glitter Clutch
Supplies needed for this project are: clutch, newspaper, Mod Podge Glue in matte, glitter of your choice, paper plate, foam brush ,and a plastic bag. |
I put the bag over the interior because the material that is lined inside is my favorite part. |
One of the main reasons I loved this bag was the interior fabric. To ensure no glue gets in the interior, make sure to put a plastic bag inside. |
I think the final product turned out fabulous. I can't wait use to use this clutch. Give it a try and let me know how it worked for you. |

Can't Get Enough of Madewell
Starting at the top left: Skinny skinny Jeans in Western Wash, below is the Ribbed 1937 Tights. The top is the Stripe-Sleeve Cable crew Sweater in Siberian Red and the Metallic Tap Oxford. The middle two photos are Saint James Aviso Tee and Winter Tale Scarf. Lastly, the two bottom photos display the Spotted Snowfall Sweater and Hunter High-Gloss Wellies. These are just a few of the items that I fancy from Madewell.com. I know quite a few J. Crew fans. If you fall into this category, I highly suggest you check out Madewell (which by the way is owned by J. Crew). I first discovered Madewell on a trip to Boston with my husband. I was ecstatic when they opened a store in Columbus, Ohio. I love it because it has a slightly retro feel, along with that J. Crew sense of style. I know a few of the items above will be on my Christmas list! I would love to hear what you think of Madewell. Happy Shopping! |

DIY Project: Making Rain Boot Cuff Inserts
For this project, you will need scissors, iron-on tape, and an iron. When cutting the sleeves, take into account the width and length of your leg that you want to go down into your boot. |
Lay the iron on the tape at the top of the sleeve inside out. |
Iron and pull the tape off. Then fold the top over about an 1/2 inch and iron. |
Then put the insert into your rain boot inside out. Leave 4 to 5 inches at the top, so you can fold over the rain boot. |
Final outcome- Rain boots with a fabulous plaid cuff insert. I love to hear what you think!! |

Walking in a Winter WonderLand
The top two right boots are the Sorel 'Joan of Arc' and Sorel 'Tofino' boots for $139.95 at Nordstrom. The bottom left two boots are the Women's Faux-Fur Trim Winter Boot for $59.94 at Old Navy. With winter quickly approaching, these are my top picks for snow boots. These boots are not only functional, but stylish. I love my Sorel 'Joan of Arc' boots, but for a substitute, Old Navy offers a similar style at a lower price. Both companies offer free shipping on these boots. Happy shopping! |
