Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know if you like this blog and would like to continue to read it, there is a "Follow this blog" link right over there ---->

I've recently rediscovered my love of sewing. There are LOTS of great patterns out there for those of us who LOVE to create things. It's kind of a lost art, but when you think about, how did most of our favorite designers start out? By sewing, of course!

I'm currently in the middle of making my Halloween costume. It's a doozy. I got a vintage Singer sewing machine from my in-laws and it's awesome, but I've only sewn a few simple things and right now I'm trying to figure out the art of "gathering" with elastic. Yikes!

Do any of you guys sew? Got any tips for beginners like me?

Happy Shopping (or sewing...)!

Sorry if you can't see this...

Hey guys, for some reason my blog is getting tagged as "spam" by google and it's causing all sorts of problems. Bear with me!

I need ideas!

Hey Everyone! Just to let you know amiclubwear.com is having some awesome sales on cute shoes, boots, and Halloween costumes. Oh, and any order over $50 gets free shipping! Can't beat that! They have some great red bottom shoes and boots that look like Christian Louboutins, but don't include the Louboutin price tag =)

I like to bestow my latest and greatest fashion finds so that everyone can share in the good fortune. My most recent find? A great bamboo skinny scarf from World Market. I know what you're thinking, "Did she just say a bamboo scarf? Bamboo is wood..." Yes I know! Bamboo is some of the hardest wood ever used in construction, but the great thing about it is, when the individual threads are somehow spun into cloth, it is one of the softest cloths that I myself have ever encountered. And the best thing? This scarf only cost me $7.00, and that's not even on sale!

Today, though, I need some advice from you:

My hubby and I want to change one of our 2 guest rooms into a media room so we can get our TV out of our formal living room. Have any of you guys ever done this before? What worked and what didn't? Any great frugal ideas?

Happy Shopping!

Accessories!!!!

As we've discussed before, accessories can make any outfit look like a million bucks. Want to shake things up? Wear long dangly earrings with your cutest swimsuit to the pool. Grab a cute pair of fun patterned tights at Forever 21 and wear them with a black dress and cute heels. Sound a little out there? It's the reverse idea from the pretty top/plain leggings look. Here's an example from my own closet:



I found these leggings at Forever 21 in my local mall, but it was the last pair, so if you like this look, you better hurry!








Another great way to change up an outfit is to grab a cute scarf and throw it on with your plain T-shirt and jeans, it adds instant flair!



Have any great accessory ideas? Share! Leave a comment for us all to see.

Happy shopping!
