Manicure Masterpieces

Today is all about nails! Check out these inspiring manicures from Incredible Things.  I love the Calvin & Hobbes theme!

Jumping on the Neon Bandwagon

Afraid you can't pull off the neon color trend that's popping up everywhere this spring? Me either.  BUT, I think I could easily add it to something small, like a scarf or a piece of jewelry and not feel weird about it. That's why I like this DIY neon necklace project from My Two Butterflies.

If you have a chunky, fake gold or silver chain necklace sitting around, simply weave some neon thread or yarn through it and viola! If you don't have an old necklace available, I'm pretty sure these things go for $5.00 at a Claire's or Target store and the thread is available for $1-$2.00 at any craft store. It's cheaper than buying something pre-made from a high-end retailer AND you can customize it to your liking.

DIY Jewelry Boards

It's spring cleaning time and I'm feeling motivated to finally do something with our closet space... or spaces, since our new house will have plenty of closets! I love the idea of creating jewelry mood boards and hanging them up in there. What a fun way to spruce up the closet and keep my accessories organized.

I'm not quite sure what I'll end up creating, but here are some of my favorite boards so far:

This one uses vintage knobs to secure flirty accessories.

I love the modern, rocker vibe with contrasting colors.

Bohemian-inspired, with A TON of beaded jewelry. 

These repurposed wooden boxes would look great in a shabby chic room.

I'll be sure to post pictures of the boards I end up going with!

Golden Era Glamour - A Flashback

I love finding old school videos like the one below.  Perhaps it's because they remind me of my days working in the film industry. More than likely though, it's the cheeky, charming narration.  I'm such a sucker for it!
