Happy Friday!

I la la LOVE this Ink Illusion "Coco" temporary tattoo transfer design, especially on Leighton Meester! These designs were inspired by the Chanel temporary tattoos models wore at the Spring 2010 runway show in Paris. The set includes about 35 designs of jewelled swallows, pearls, and rhinestones for $19.95! Just mix & match for a variety of looks!

Just apply the temporary tattoo design with water and easily remove with baby oil without damaging your skin! These designs can be purchased here. I hope ya'll have a lovely weekend!

XOXO ♥

Get the Look: Autumn Basics

I joined Looklet earlier this year and absolutely LOVE the website ♥ You can create & style different models using thousands of hot fashion items! I'm gonna be using the site to recreate outfits for the girl next door. This is a great transition outfit from Summer to Fall:

Here's how you can get the look for less shopping at one of my fave stores, Target. Yeah, I'm 26 and STILL shop for Junior clothes! This entire outfit costs about $116 + tax but who doesn't already own some of these basic items?!

Xhilaration Short Sleeve Sweater Tee - Natural: $16.99


Merona Bamboo Fiber Woven Print Scarf - Purple: $12.99


Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Skinny Jean - Dark Wash: $22.99


Mossimo Supply Co. Kena Riding Boots - Cognac: $34.99


Leather Wrap Bracelet w/ Stones & Grommets: $12.99


Leather Bracelet w/ Gold Links - White: $14.99

Target just has the cutest clothes & accessories! An over-sized tee + skinny jeans + boots + a scarf = a casual everyday look for Fall. Just add accessories!

XOXO ♥

DIY: Ballerina Inspired

I've been inspired to design & create so many things lately. I definitely need another job to support my never ending creative habit. Here are a few designs I can't wait to try:

These shoes are absolutely adorable! They're simply Capezio ballet slippers adorned with silver studs. I would love to design & create a similar pair using jewels in assorted colors & shapes for a much cheaper price ♥

Bona Drag Studded Ballet Slippers: $48 found here.

These La Voleuse Custom Ballet Shoes are so cute! I love the tattoo inspired designs ♥ These shoes are no longer available so I really want to recreate them!

This DIY voluminous Ballerina tutu is so chic & girly. Very Carrie Bradshaw ♥

Directions found here.

Day Dreaming ♥

I'm feeling much better after talking to my boyfriend ♥ I have such big dreams for my future & can't wait for them all to come true! I'm gonna be continuing my education at Wayne Community College during the spring 2011 semester for an Associate in Arts Degree. I'm also gonna take basic sewing & jewelry courses so I can learn to design & create my own clothing & accessories. I also want to complete distance learning courses from Elite Makeup to become a professional makeup artist. Eventually, I would love to own a business including a bakery/coffee shop, boutique, & dance studio.

The bakery/coffee shop would serve a variety of sweet treats such as bagels, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, ice cream, & muffins. Beverages would include bottled water, brewed coffee, Espressos, Frappuccinos, milkshakes, smoothies, & yogurt parfaits. Very yummy!

The boutique would include clothes & accessories created & designed by me as well as screen printed tanks, short & long sleeved shirts, hoodies, shorts, & sweatpants. Other cute items would also be sold.

I would also like to have a space for a couple of tanning beds & a room for makeup appointments & supplies.

The dance studio would offer ballet, clogging, hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, pointe, & tap. I would also love to offer a variety of exercise classes for adults.

I've never been more excited about my future! I wouldn't be able to do any of this without my very supportive boyfriend ♥ He's such a great motivator & wants nothing but the best for me!

Taylor Swift Inspired Outfit

I adore Taylor Swift's style ♥ Her outfits have a vintage feel, which I absolutely love! I totally wish I had the money for some retail therapy right now. I definitely need a pick-me-up with everything that has been going on in my life lately!

Romantic Lace Dress: $19.80 found here.

Corral Turquoise Leather Inlay Cowgirl Boots: $229.99 found here.

Heart Charm Necklace: $6.80 found here.

Triple Floral Ring: $3.80 found here.

The Clothes Will Inspire You

Can I have Carrie Bradshaw's closet...pretty please?! I heart it ♥ I'm trying to get my closet to look just like this!

Sex and the City 2 Fashion

Yesterday, my wonderful boyfriend took me to see Sex and the City 2 & I absolutely loved the fashion ♥ These are a few of my favorite accessories...

"The Lucky Charm" Clover Necklace: Carrie wears a similar necklace in the movie as a symbol of her good fortune. It's very bold & stylish!

Christian Louboutin Glitter Shoe: These pumps are fabulous! I definitely want these...or a pair in the style of Carrie Bradshaw.

Black Diamond Ring: "Because I'm not like anyone else." -Carrie Bradshaw ♥ This ring was the most significant piece of jewelry in the movie. It would be the perfect engagement ring (;

I also loved Samantha Jones' sexy black dress ♥ It would be a fabulous outfit for my birthday or New Year's Eve!

Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw, is definitely my fave. She's so glamorous!
