Thrifted

 

 

Forever 21 skirt, clutch & cuff, thrifted shirt, Gap scarf, Hue tights, Mia Xara Boots (on sale!)

I was so excited when I found this shirt at a thrift store! Plus, the day I went all the shirts were an extra 50% off...WHAT? I swear it was like $1.50. On another note, I am obsessed with these boots. They are so comfortable and practical and I am thinking about getting them in black too. What do you think?

Seven Things

Gold cuffs - going wear one on each arm (inspired by Emily and Blair)

My weekend was crazy and filled with driving between Knoxville and Louisville, but I managed to find seven things that made my weekend a little more fun. Also I was surprised at how much I loved Louisville (I cannot believe I am saying this) and now I am very excited about grad school!

 Clutch, Scarf, and Red jeans all from Forever 21. Obviously my mom and I were scoping out the shopping in Louisville this weekend and we stumbled upon the largest Forever 21 I have ever been to! 

 Fun alarm clock that makes waking up a little easier.

 Teal and Glitter nails that I have gotten tons of compliments on! Teal nail polish from Old Navy and Glitter from Forever 21.

My favorite painting that I made in my Painting I class that is so heavy we can't hang it on the wall. 

Peyton Manning jersey that I got to see when on a tour of Neyland Stadium!

Fun bear hat that we found at Mast General Store in Knoxville!

Hope you had a great weekend!

DIY: Glitter Boots

The second I saw this Glitter Boot DIY (originally here) I knew that I had to make them! I love glitter almost as much as I love cheetah. Although I must say, the title of this post should be "See SB make a Mess". The floor of my apartment is now covered in gold glitter. I am actually really enjoying the new glitter finish on our floor, but if you ask my roommate she might have a different opinion (yeah, right). Okay, on to the DIY!

Step One: Gather the Supplies

1. Boots - I used these Old Navy boots largely because I paid a whopping $13 for them, so I wasn't afraid to mess them up.

2. Glitter and lots of it! I used two sizes of glitter and mixed them together - I don't think this is necessary though because the larger glitter took over.

3. Fabric Glue - I used one that said it would work on leather since the boots I used are faux leather.

4. Paint Brush - I just used this to paint the glue on to the boot, so it would be applied more evenly.

5. Newspaper - Obviously I only had magazines so I used that instead, but newspaper is a better option. 

Step Two: Apply the Glue

 

Step Three: Apply the Glitter

Simple as That: You're Finished!

You can now marvel at your beautiful creation! You might want to leave them to dry for a while because I think the glitter might shed!

 These were really fun to make and I cannot wait to wear them! I think I am going to pair them with skinny jeans and a simple, cream top, so the focus is on the boots! This could also be done with silver glitter on gray boots...Old Navy has the exact boots I used in gray too! Have fun!!
