Crop Tops And High Waists


Crop Sweater: Forever 21 $4  Necklace:$4 Savers  Boots: $4 Swap Meet  Jeans: Forever 21 $7

Slowly easing my way into summer attire. Im really digging everything cropped sweaters, tee's, bralettes you name it. Being only 5'1" they seem to elongate my torso. Which in my case is rare.
So expect to see me in everything cropped this summer. In fact i'm currently working on a cropped halter top. I am constructing it from the left over fabric from my circle skirt tutorial. I'll most likely pair it with the matching skirt. It'll be my take on all the crop tops and skirt sets we've all been seeing lately.  Also i hope i'm not jinxing this by telling you guys. But my bf, his aunt, and i are planning on taking a road trip to san francisco at the end of this month. We've been looking at hotels and getting everything organized and if all goes well i should be on my way to san fran by the 22nd. Im so excited, san francisco in the summer time! So expect tons of awesome photos of the trip as well as a couple of look's. and yes i will be wearing flowers in my hair. i mean how could i not?? 
well thats all for now

So summers officially here, and honestly i'm not to thrilled with this estranged heat. I can thank global warming for this one. I prefer cool weather. But since you can't have your cake and eat it too i did the next best thing. I dressed "COOL" in this weather.  Any who tell me what you all think ^.^

Im To Proud For Love...



DIY Floral Crown  Dress: $7 Forever 21  Knee Highs: 99 Cents store  Leather Boots: $4 Swap Meet

Floral and Lace just scream spring. I love the way this look came together. The floral crown I made myself. It was kind of spur of the moment I had been wanting to make one for the longest and on my last trip to my swap meet I purchased all of the flowers for only $1.50. I will be posting up a DIY tutorial on how to make your very own. They're super simple and only take a couple of minutes. Also they are so worth it they literally make any outfit. I will definitely be making more and possibly hold a giveaway for one of them. So be sure to subscribe and stick around.

DIY Maxi Skirt To Circle Skirt Tutorial







Step 1: Find your self an awesome skirt, mine was only a dollar at my local swap meet. I've actually had it lying in my closet for the longest. I fell in love with the fabric and print when i spotted it, and for only a dollar? Come on! it was meant to be <3 also if you can find yourself one with an a-line shape. That would of course be best any other shape will be impossible to achieve the circle shape with UNLESS you slit the sides and add fabric. hmmmm maybe that will be my next tutorial.

The awesome floral velvet print up close <3

Supplies: Pins, Needle, Thread, Measuring Tape, Marker, & Scissors.

Step 2: Measure the length from your waist until about mid-thigh.  I feel its best to take your measurement from your backside otherwise you could wind up with a skirt that flashes your bum. And we wouldn't want that now would we.
My length was 14". and i'm 5'1".

Step 3: Place measuring tape down the center of the skirt (you can see what i mean in the photo above step 2) and mark your length on both sides.

Step 4: Continue To move tape across the waist and mark the hem as you go along. Make sure your tape is straight other wise your marks will be crooked.

It Should Look Something Like This.

Step 5: Cut about 1 inch to about and 1 inch and a half below your markings this will be the extra fabric you will fold up and hem. (I like to have extra fabric just incase believe me i've cut things too short one to many times)

It Should Now Look Like This.

Step 6: Pin. Fold the skirt along the markings you made and pin in place.

Step 7: Stitch. Some of you may have sewing machines you can use, but i have to do mine the old fashion way.

And Voila!!! There you have it your very own circle skirt.
I hope you guys enjoyed my tutorial.
It is my first ever so please comment and tell me what you think.

Also about half ways threw making my tutorial my bf's uncle heard gun shots in our back yard he ran out and saw that some people had killed these baby duck's mother :/ However he was able to rescue 15 of them there was about 17 total but animals had ran off with the other two. They were so scared and they just kept crying out for their mother. This made me realize that we need to be a bit more grateful. A life can be taken away so quickly. But A poor defenseless animals even quicker.
