It's time for more Rob!

So this has nothing to do about fashion, makeup or really anything...other than I'm super excited about Cosmopolis w/ Rob Pattinson! Unfortunately I am one of those weird folks who have an issue w/ movie theatres so I will have to wait until it comes out on video. I love Rob! Okay, maybe not love love, but you know what I mean. He's just fantastic! Talented & just fantastic! LOL It would be sooo awesome just to talk to him! I know there is no chance in hell that will happen, but it's nice thought. I do think he should sing more :) Bits & pieces I've seen were pretty good - very soulfull (I don't know if that's a word but I'm using it)
Random thought: Gucci does fit Rob very nicely :) LOL

Holy Macrame! Check out these new bands!

My creative juices just keep on flowing & I'm crafting like a fool! Doing crafts and makeup is my way of de-stressing & I enjoy doing both! I'm also having "craft time" with my boyfriend's daughter who is an enthusiastic helper!

Say Hello Kitty!


She wanted a Hello Kitty w/ big flowers :) Love it!

Free People inspired Jeans

I came across these adorable jeans on Free People's website & fell in love! But instead of dishing out $228 that I don't need to spend, I thought I would refashion some Michael Kors jeans I had that I've never worn.
I used a ton of scrap fabric, embroidery floss, & a lot of time hand stitching each piece. Basically just using up stuff around my house :)

I thought they turned out pretty good - now I need a place to wear them to....

TGIF! (Yes, I'm kind of late putting this up)

Oh my! I am soooo glad today is Friday & we have a 3 day weekend! Lol

If you are anything like me, I'm always rushing out the door & running behind :) I definitely have to put my 'face' on quickly! This is one of my go to quick looks I use during the week...

Products used:
Cover FX cream foundation
Real Techniques expert face brush (LOVE this!)
Mary Kay fluid eye color Pearl (Art of Nature limited Ed. Collection)
Mary Kay brow defined pencil - soft black
M.A.C creme lipstick - Pretty Please
Mary Kay loose powder - Ivory 2
Mary Kay Face brush
Eco-tools flat shader brush
L'Oreal Double Extend tube w/ lash boosting serum
Sally Hansen eyelash curler
Hard Candy's Nobody's Perfect concealer palette

Seriously - I get ready (shower, hair, dress & makeup) in 40 min or less. Super easy & yet still creates a polishe look without much makeup.

The foundation & loose powder, I only focus on the 'T' zone for everyday looks - so not using a whole lot of product.

Hope this helps gets your creativity going!

Craft Time!

While getting ready for my friend's photo-shoot, I jumped into creating some fun accessories for her to use if she would like to.
I LOVE anything by Free People - I've been in love with the boho chic style for ages! So, I created a floral braided headband inspired by the following FP braided halo:

Here's mine:

  

Love it! She totally used it for her shoot! It was super easy to make & didn't take much time!

Materials used
Old white t-shirt (men's Hanes undershirt)
Scissors
Flower heads of your choice
Wooden beads
Chain
O-rings
Lobster clasp
Hot glue gun
Jewelry wire

Needle nose pliers

 

Directions

1. Cut the arms from the t-shirt along the seams - then cut up the side seam of the shirt so it now can lay flat with both sides next to each other.

2. Depending how big you want it determines how much fabric you need. I just winged it. I cut 1 large strip from the shirt & then cut 3 single strips from it. (not too thin since this material stretches - you want a little bulk)

3. Making sure they are all the same length, take one end & tie a knot (just like you're making a friendship bracelet. It holds the pieces together etc.) & begin braiding. (make sure you leave some length to the end pieces so you can create the clasp area)

4. When you have braided the 'rope' to the length you want it, tie off the end of the braid with a knot. Cut off some of the excess fabric from both ends of the braid.

5. Taking some jewelry wire, begin wrapping around one end of the braid to bind the fabric together - this keeps it in place & by tightening it, you can easily slip the end into a bead instead of trying to force 3 single strands through a bead. Don't forget at the top of the wire after you have finished wrapping, create a small loop & trim off excess. This will be where the o-ring is connected.

6. Taking any type of bead (got these at Walmart & I used them because they were pretty thick so they would cover the wire nicely) slide (or twist in) the wired scraps through the hole of the bead. The bead should fit snugly with the little loop of wire barely peeking through the opposite end.

7. Taking an o-ring & attach to the loop that should barely be sticking out of the bead. Repeat on other side.

8. Using a chain (I used silver but you can use gold too) attach how ever much length you would like to one side (to one o-ring). This will allow you to adjust the head piece if you would like.

9. On the opposite side of the head piece, attach a lobster clasp.

10. Try on & voila! You're finished!

Love it! She totally used it for her shoot! It was super easy to make & didn't take much time!
