Bridal Invite Washi Tape

Here is another fun bridal invitation with Valentine colors and washi tape details!

Monday, February 11, 2013

Valentine's Day is just a few days away now! I thought I'd give you a sweet little tutorial on adding elbow patches to your sweater. I made these before work the other day. If you know me at all that's amazing in itself. I love to sleep in until the last minute and rush to get ready for work. This quick project only took 10 min!

Step 1: Cut out hearts from felt. I get the felt in the craft aisle of hobby lobby. You can get it anywhere and it usually costs around $0.30.

Step 2: (Do this carefully) I put my sweater on and pinned the hearts to where my elbows actually hit. This can be kinda tricky, maybe have a friend help you with this part.

Step 3: Pick out some adorably pink (or any color) embroidery floss and sew simple little stitches all around and repeat for other arm.

Step 4: Revel in the satisfaction of a job well done!

Step 5: Only walk backwards and approach friends and co-workers elbow first.

Step 6: Receive compliments graciously.

Vintage Thursday

So while I was with Betty yesterday we also went shopping! I got this awesome dress and this green suitcase. The dress fits me really well. It buttons up the back with quarter sized white buttons, and it has pockets! I'm also wearing a belt that was my grandma's and vintage pearls from my great aunt Irene. The suitcase is actually in really good condition, the lining is intact and a bright green silk. I love it! So here is my Sally Jane Vintage inspire photo shoot.

Red Tights

Here is a screen print of my flickr page. I don't know if you can see this but most of my pictures have 2-3 views and then there is a picture with the caption..."The two Graduates...Yep, I'm wearing red tights...awesome" This picture has 34 views!

So I noticed this big jump a while back and wondered what the big deal was. Do people search "red tights?" So I decided to do it and 5,511 photos came up.

Here were four of my favorites...

So this is a picture of Blair or Leighton Meester aka my fashion icon right now. The outfit I wore for my graduation looked exactly like this one and I called it my Gossip Girl outfit. I haven't even seen this episode! I'm kind of proud of myself in some twisted way. I'm a shameful Gossip Girl advocate and I don't even watch all the episodes! I've been working so much this television season I'm going to have to rent the latest season.
