Peach & Purple Nails Alternating Colors Manicure
After creating this manicure the other day, it occurred to me that I may have seen a similar technique on Consider Me Lovely’s Instagram feed. It wasn’t until a day after I painted my nails though that I realized I may have seen it elsewhere, though I’m still not completely sure. That’s how inspiration works …
DIY Leather Peter Pan Collar or Necklace
I know it seems like everyone has already done some sort of collar DIY {and I’ve done a few collar DIYs as well as an embellished collar diy myself} however, I kind of wanted a leather collar necklace and didn’t want to buy one. So obviously, I decided to DIY my own and document it …

Lips… Lipstick… Lip Gloss… Lip Balm…
On a daily basis, and for everyday wear, I generally opt for lip gloss over lipstick. Lipstick is just too much fuss for me and I’ll inevitably get it on my cheek without even knowing it and walk around looking like a clown for the remainder of the day. I will wear it on occasion …
