****Neon and Leopard - What I Wore****






It was my birthday on Saturday (woo hoo)...another year older and I still feel like a freshman in high school which could be taken as a good or bad thing depending on who's asked.  Anywho, I bought these shoes so long ago and have talked about them a little too much for an item that has never seen the light of day.  It only seemed right to don them on such an occasion and I have to say they were a pleasure to wear except for the brief break when I slipped into some flats for a mile walk in the freezing cold to the museum. (The weather is always depressing for my birthday with it being winter and all) As for the pants, having loved them in orange I figured I could definitely use them in black so I bought them.  If you are a huge fan of H&M like I am you should definitely sign up for their mailing list.  I've gotten 2 coupons from them and with their prices already hitting the sweet spot, the deals get even better.  I'm just wondering who do I talk to about getting these pants made in mint green and pastel pink.....I think that would be perfect don't you? I originally wanted to pick up these pants from American Apparel but good lord $75!!!! Spending that just didn't to seem to settle well in my stomach.  Maybe another time when its not rent week or I can catch one of their warehouse sales.

As for the necklace, stay tuned for the DIY coming soon.  I got a little wire happy this weekend and my coiled wire ring post won't be last involving the amazing material...sorry. Other than that my weekend was perfect and it really sucks that its coming to an end.

****Sorry Mr. Binns - DIY****





 As I was simultaneously trying to figure out what I will be wearing out tonight for appetizers and drinks with my boyfriend, listing a few new pieces on Etsy and catching up on all the Blogger/Tumblr/Pinterest posts I came across this simple yet perfect necklace from Tom Binns.  I loved it until I saw the cost $70. Yeah that's pretty nominal in comparison to other pieces we drool over everyday but why pay that when you could DIY it and pay under $5.

USE THESE:
  • pliers
  • long gold chain ( $1 necklace from dollar store - trashed the pendant it came with)
  • large safety pin ($2 at craft store)
DO THIS:
  • Bend safety randomly.  You many need to used two pliers depending on how thick your safety pin is
  • String chain through safety pin
  • Wear out proudly
It doesn't get any simpler than this ladies..
