Fall and pastels don’t usually go arm in arm but Studio DIY and Balloon Time have turned a typical baby shower palette on its head by incorporating fun fall elements–like pastel pumpkins and colorful candy apples and it’s just the cutest thing ever! And since I’m not the best at party planning {an unfortunate truth} …
October is right around the corner and I’m getting giddy just thinking about one of my favorite holidays, Halloween! The end of October also kicks off the rest of the holiday season and winter, which is exciting in and of itself, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet, because first WE GET TO …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Come back here every Sunday -or sometimes Saturday, for all the details. Happy November!!! Did you sleep in today? Wow, where did this year go?!? I’m so happy it’s nearly winter though, which is the exact opposite of who I used to be, but I …
Have a Safe & Happy Halloween Lovecats!
Last year when I worked for Babble, they asked if I was interested in creating beauty looks for Halloween based on any of the Disney Princesses. OF COURSE, I was, because, how fun! And since I used to write for both beauty and style, and love a good DIY, I was able to leverage a …
While at first I was only going to do the “after -letting it go” Elsa costume and hair tutorial from Disney’s Frozen, in the furry of finding the right dress for the other, I accidentally found a dress that would indeed work for Elsa’s “before – letting it go” look, and couldn’t help whipping up …
Though I had been dying to add Elsa of Arendelle ~ from Disney’s Frozen, to my DIY Disney costumes and characters {which I began last year when I was working with Babble/Disney}… by September, I was hitting burnout hard, and blew it off. Finally, two weeks into October, the fire burned again and I jumped …
I’m excited to announce that the super awesome & free to download Glam Style App has not only featured a few of my fun Halloween DIYs and costumes but also used my Modern Cinderella Costume as their main page for their Haute Halloween October edition! SO FUN!! Below are screen caps from the Glam Style …
After I made my 4th of July cake pops, the husband could not get enough and begged me to make them for him again. I thought if I was going to make them, I may as well try my hand at cute Halloween designs… and I was pretty excited about the results. So, needless to …
Last year, I did a fun take on SEISMOGRAPH NAILS using BLACK, COPPER, & SILVER METALLIC polishes for Halloween and I loved it. It was abstract and could be redone in any colors, for any season. But this year I wanted my Halloween nails to be a bit more specific. A few months ago Hex …
In Wes Anderson’s film, The Royal Tenenbaums, Gwyneth Paltrow plays Margot Tenenbaum, an adopted literary genius, who’s in love with her brother, never smiles, smokes like a chimney, and has an overall lack of care for life. She is my favorite character Gwyneth Paltrow has ever played, and she’s one of the easiest last minute …
Looking for the perfect Betty Draper dress can be daunting but it’s the most fun part about dressing up! I realized this a few years ago when the husband and I went as Don & Betty Draper for Halloween. So I thought I’d enjoy it again by doing the “grunt work” and finding all the …
To me, dressing up is more fun than well, not. So I started this Disney character series {Cinderella was my first} with the excuse that Halloween is just around the corner, but really, I’m having so much fun, I may just keep going after the fact. I guess we’ll just wait and see. But like …
I’m in love with the movie Brave and Disney’s Princess Merida, so I thought it was the perfect DIY costume to tackle next in my Disney character dress up series. My first in the series was Cinderella, and Cinderella was fun, but other than figuring out how to get the perfectly large and rolling bun, …
I know, I know, everyone and their mother has done a DIY cat ears project and tutorial, but none like this {maybe?} lol. I searched for a leather pair a little bit like this cat ear headband by Fleet Ilya {$518} but less like Bat Girl or Cat Woman {though they would work for those …
