OOTD: Spring time in the 20's

I paired some coral colored capri's with a flowy cream colored top which was kind of thin so I wore a tank top underneath. The headband is something I made myself and I just curled my hair with my new curling iron and brushed it out a bit. For arm candy I layered a few gold bangles with a leather cuff and wore a long dangly necklace just to glam things up a bit. 

Pants: Coral Capri's, JC Penny $17

Top: American Eagle $10

Tank Top: Wet Seal 5 For $20

Necklace: Forever 21

Headband: My Own Creation!

Random gold bangles that I have collected form various stores over the years

Leather Bow Cuff: My own work :)

Rings: 

Middle Finger: Clairs $1 !

Ring Finger: Unicorn ring that the Unicorn broke off of 

Forever 21

Pinky: Shark Tooth necklace that I found in the lost and found one time

I decided to take a few head-shots while I had my hair all done up, so I took the Headband off and set up my studio! When I finished up I decided to play with some photo editing and this is what I cm up with!

Personally I like the black and white one the best, mostly because it is kind of quirky and it makes me look like I have really high cheek bones :)

Tutorials that are coming soon!

Package from Japan!!

So guess what came in the mail today?!

A box clear from Japan! :) 

I was really good friends with an exchange student in High School, and she sent me an entire box full of Japanese goodies!

When I first opened it up, and got past the layer of bubble wrap, this is what I saw!!

12 Pieces of Japanese chocolates! Black, Milk, and Meiji! I think the black is dark, the milk is milk and I have no idea what the meiji is!

A Jumbo Pack of strawberry Pocky! This is something that I have already tried, and you can get them in the U.S as well :) The special thing about these is that they are heart shaped! 

These are chocolate creme filled cookies, something that I have had before as well. They are so good and how cute are those koalas1?!? 

Now I have no Idea what the heck these are. Prawn fries maybe? I Haven't tried them yet, mostly because I am a chicken! Hopefully they are good!

I have had these little candies before as well, and they are so good and surprisingly juicy! There are 4 flavors and red is by far ,my favorite!

I was so surprised to come home and find that a box, all the way from Japan had found it's way to my house! I can't wait to send a box to my Friend, it will most likely be full of skittles because she loves them! 

I will be sure to post about what I send to Japan in the very near future! 

Man Catching Homemade Oreo's

Ok! So this is possibly the easiest cookie recipe of all!

All you need is a box Cake mix, eggs and butter!

The cookies:

1 Box Cake Mix

2 Eggs

3/4 Cup Melted Butter

Mix together:

Spoon out 1 TBS scoops onto pans

Cook for 12 min. at 350

Fill with  Cream cheese frosting, either homemade or from a box, both taste great!

Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 ounces Cream Cheese

1/2 Cup Softened butter

2-4 cups of powdered sugar - depending on how you like it

El Fin!!!

I rolled the outside frosting in red white and blue sprinkles because I made them for a school presentation on patriotism and they were a big hit!!

I doubled the recipe for the cookies shown above, I had to be sure there was enough for the whole class!!

And yes, I did bring class treats to a college presentation :)

...and everyone loved them

Guess What Just Came! : Fahrenheit 4 in 1 Clipless Curling Iron Set

What I've Been Up To

So A few Days ago, I drove my mom to the airport, because she was going to Alaska on break. The first thing me and my sister, Kadi, was break out the classy mustache glasses and start the party! 

HAHA :) Apple Juice of course! Needless to say, I have had a great past few days! New tutorials up soon! I have been working very hard on quite a few projects perfect for spring!

CHEERS!

Dainty Lace and Trim Score!!!

The overall look of the lace and trim selection is totally mermaid chic! 

So, I was at JoAnn's today helping my sister get a few things for a costume she is making. Well, once she had the majority of her things, I thought I would wander around while she finished up. Then out of the blue I thought to go look at the by the yard trims and lace. I found a bunch of 99 cent trims! I got a yard and a half of each!

This one I have big plans for! It is so vintage-y mermaid to me, I think it will go so well with everything. 

this one is actually a much beautiful color in real life, but my camera couldn't capture it as well as I would have liked. It is actually curtain trim, but I am really excited to make something out of it!

This one! Oh how this tinny string makes my heart sing! It's like beach-y sophistication :)It looks like the picture is blurry, but it really isn't, the colors of the trim just blend together really well. 

This one is the thickest of all the trims that I bought. I have some really great ideas for this lace! 

Small, white, daisy chains! This is such a cute little piece! I am so excited for whatever I end up making with this! 

This one is exactly the same as the bluish greenish rope at the top of the post, except it is a cream color. I love the nauticalness of it! It really reminds me of the water, and big ships :) I love the ocean

All in all, I think it was a major score. The color scheme of the entire selection really reminds me of mermaids. I am thinking of doing an entire series on dainty headbands/hair accessories. I know I post a lot of hair things, and I am going to try really hard to post more big thins, like skirts, shirts and dresses. But until then, I am content to make smaller things :)
