Happy Friday Lovecats! I have been MIA for a while, busy with Dogwood business as of late, and just kind of trying to get back to some sort of baseline normal emotionally and physically since the insane storm last month and it seems like things are starting to come together… FINALLY! All that said, Dogwood’s …
UpCycle DIY // Reuse and Recycle Comforter Carry Bags into Laundry Bags
I come from a long line of savers, which mostly has equated to frantic, jump-inducing yelps on holidays like DON’T RIP THE WRAPPING PAPER, WE CAN SAVE IT and DON’T THROW THAT AWAY, WE CAN USE IT AGAIN and SQUEEZE OUT THE SPONGE!… okay, the last one happened to be a running joke in my …
Sprucing Up The Exterior of My Office with Faux Ivy Vines
I’ve been DYING to DIY the exterior of my office since signing the lease last October, but the weather has kept me from really moving forward with it, and now that the sun is shining and the birds are chirping, my office looks like it’s brimming with life as well… and I love it. I …
DIY Home Decor // Faux Stone Hand Sculpture, Statue, Art, Jewelry Holder
Okay so… this is a really simple DIY, almost unworthy of a post BUT it turned out pretty cute so I thought I’d share anyway. I did far more work to create my DIY Faux Stone Accent tables than I did on this, but since I had a little spray paint left over, I thought …
DIY Lucky Butterfly Dome Cloche Display
My word for 2018 is BUTTERFLY Magic. Transformation. Beauty. Change. Mystery. Abundance. Prosperity. Freedom. Love. I don’t usually choose a word of the year but I’ve read a few books recently that recommend it and the word butterfly continues to reveal itself to me lately. Also, it encompasses all the words in bold above, and …
DIY // Repurposing Face Cream Jars into Pretty Lace Containers
This DIY was hatched out of the need for a clean place to store my facial cleansing pads which came in a little bag and have been just sitting in the top drawer of my master bathroom. I use them for my toner after I wash my face at night and I hated pulling them …

Tassels add a fun and playful vibe to just about anything they adorn… and shoes may be the most fun of all.

DIY Beaded Catch Phrase Vacation Summer Sun Hat
I wanted to make a fun catch phrase summer sun hat -you know the cute ones we’ve all been seeing everywhere for a little over a year now (which vary in prices, but are on the expensive side). And I wanted to make it double sided, so I couldn’t really embroider it like so many …
DIY Pearl Hoodie Sweatshirt Inspired by Chiara Ferragni
I was scrolling through my Instagram feed last Thursday or Friday and Chiara (creator of The Blond Salad) popped up in this adorable pearled hoodeie sweatshirt which is from her 2017/2018 collection… and I immediately thought I HAVE TO MAKE THIS. I don’t think hers is available for purchase yet and mine most probably does …
DIY Pink Ombre Heart Branch Wall Art
I must have come across this cute pink ombre heart branch wall art on Pinterest, I can’t remember, but it seems to be the place I randomly find the cutest things ever, and being that we’re now heading towards Valentine’s Day, I thought it was also cute to share… though I think you could create …
Framed Floating Botanicals & Feathers // DIY Inspo
I just LOVE bringing the outdoors in when decorating. I don’t have a ton of wall space but I do have a ton of plants in my home, which work just as well. But framed botanicals are quite beautiful and I love the way they float in the glass and create shadows and just draw …
Cute & Creepy DIY Googly Eyes Clutch Bag for Halloween
This is a ridiculously easy DIY and the perfect Halloween accessory for a fun and creepy little touch. Though I was inspired by all things Halloween, it’s actually cute and quirky enough to use year-round. I only had little googly eyes to work with when the idea popped into my head, so I didn’t run …
DIY Gold Mesh Neck Scarf & Choker // Vintage Purse Hack
So years ago I bought a set of three vintage Whiting & Davis gold mesh bags on eBay and this was one of them. As a simple square pocket bag, basically, it’s been pretty useless and though I’ve used the other two time and again, this one sits in my closet collecting dust. And when …
DIY Slashed T-Shirt // How to Make an iIllusion V-neck – Tutorial
I’ve had this simple black boatneck tee for probably over a decade, and I just don’t wear it, ever. But I never get rid of it either… I have a love/hate relationship with the way it fits/looks, and I think it has to do with the boat neck, which sort of enhances my already very …
DIY Jeweled Bandana ~ Hair Tie, Choker Necklace, Scarf, Headband
I love a good bandana moment in my hair… it always reminds me of ’80s Madonna, and Desperately Seeking Susan and big messy hair and all things fun! But the bandana around the neck as a sort-of scarf-choker look popped up on fashion blogs and magazines last year and all I could think of was …
