Monday Muse: Sweaters and Sequins
Who wouldn't want a little glimmer in their every-day lives? It's no secret that I take sparkles very seriously (and yes! Sequins are totes day do-able), so my current fashion crush/obsession: a sweater and sequin skirt or legging combo that transitions perfectly from day to night. Layer the skirt with tights and boots and you've got a cozy, perfect Holiday party outfit.

{five for fall}
Over the past few years, I've come to realize that I love living in the Midwest because you get to experience the changes of all the seasons. That being said, fall is probably my favorite season, not because of pumpkin everything (which I get so excited about that I have a tendency to over-do it...therefor I'm so over pumpkin before the season is even halfway through) but also because of the cute (not so scary but sparkly) Halloween décor. So, aside from the majority of America's favorite thing about fall (pumpkin, in case you didn't catch on there and that creepy Zombie kick that I never really caught on to), here's a list of my five fall favorites.
1. OPI Russian Navy. Ohhhh, beautiful Russian Navy. I get so pumped EVERY year to bust this sucker out. I love the dark goth look it gives without being overly dark and gothy. I almost shed a tear last spring when I had to pack my bottle away (but insisted on using it as an accent nail color well in to spring).
2. Candy Corn. Yes, I said it. Let out an "eww" if you must. I know not everyone are candy corn fans and I can barely get through one bag a season. Also, I'm not able to eat a bunch without getting a stomach ache which sorta makes it in to one of those love-hate kind of relationships...but yep, I look forward to candy corn every year...and it looks oh-so-cute at fall festivities and holiday parties.
3. Sweater Weather. Given. Throwing on a baggy sweater with skinny jeans or leggings (or shorts when the temps require), my favorite go to look.
4. Fur Vests. Oh, my beloved fur vest (which actually resembles my dog. A lot...but don't worry, it's faux), I love wearing it with everything. Tank tops and maxis when it's still "fall" here but too warm to wear long sleeves and normal fall attire, layering it over sweaters or flannel during the day, at night it just gives that fun oomph, glam and classy look AND they keep you warm. WIN-WIN situation right there. I seriously don't know what I did before it...The possibilities of how to wear a fur vest are actually quite endless and easier to pull off than you might think. Don't already have a fur vest? Well, go get you one, girl. You can thank me later.
5. Fall Colors. Leaves Changing. I presume this is pretty self-explanatory.

Candy corn, peanuts and chocolate covered pretzels, if you wish.
So easy and totes cute for the season (even if it doesn't get eaten)

DIY: Flag Shorts
The inspiration: Cute festive 4th of July Americana shorts to wear all summer (with full intention of wearing with tights and sweaters in cooler weather).
The supplies:
Denim shorts or a pair of jeans to cut in to shorts
(I used a 90's style Old Navy pair that I thrifted for a whopping $3)
Masking tape
Star stencils
Acrylic paint (red and white)
Paint sponges and a thin paint brush for bloopers
Step one: Tape off your stripes and paint red
Step two: Lay the stencil as flat as possible and gently sponge the white paint in on the stencil. This can be a little tricky because the smallest move can make a star look like a blob. We taped our stencil, allowed for some drying time, and wiped the stencil off before moving to the next. I would recommend having a fine tip paint brush on hand to touch up if there happen to be any bloopers.
Step three: Once the front is dry, flip them over and do the same on the back pockets. (optional)
Step four: When completely dry (we waited until the next day), wash them in cold water and VIOLA! You have your custom flag shorts fashioned and ready to be rocked.

Oh, Hey! There's me just jaunting around Coronado Island in my flag shorts, sipping on a Red Bull, cheesing in front of the Dragon Tree from Some Like it Hot.
