Hey Stud

Button-down – Goodwill/ DIY // Skirt – American Apparel // Lips – NYX in Stella under Stila Plumping Lip Glaze in Melon Mint

I apologize for my absence! I don’t even have a good excuse other than not having time to take photos after work because I’m too busy trying to keep my sleep deficit down. Why are my sleep habits still in college mode?

Becca let me try some lipsticks that didn’t work for her, and one of them was this NYX. Unfortunately it didn’t look good on me by its lonesome cause it’s a very bright orange pink, so I put some of this peachy lip gloss over it and it muted it enough to suit me.

I’m all set up to post more regularly again. I’ve seen so many great posts with summer fashion and outfits that I can’t help but feel inspired again!

Studded Collar DIY Complete!

Remember awhile back when I posted this work in progress? I finally finished it!

I followed this tutorial to embellish the collar a few months ago, and then yesterday I finally rolled back my metaphorical sleeves (I was in my pajamas most of the day) and got to work sizing it down to fit me. I’m not the best tailor, but I managed to shorten the sleeves and the bottom a few inches and take in the sides. Not too shabby.

I really like the way it looks with a colored cardigan (of which I own one), but I think I can probably pair it up with quite a few things.

DIY Collars c/o Refinery29

Still working on some original content, but I just wanted to share this for anyone who isn’t subscribed to Refinery29. I originally subscribed to them through some third party sweepstakes and didn’t know what it even was, but now I look forward to the slideshows they send almost daily, as well as their fun deals and goodies (I got 2 Zoya nail polishes for the price of shipping through them).

I’ll definitely be trying the studded collar and the faux leather metallic one.

ALSO I’m going to try and make a proper banner and get this thing looking a little less cookie-cutter, so wish me luck!
