DIY: Glitter Mason Jar

How to make a glitter mason jar.
Easy, fun, and very inexpensive!

Before you start, you will need . . .
Supplies: Loose Glitter, Mason Jars (both from the dollar store), Paint Brush, Paper Bowl, Craft Glue, Painters Tape (not pictured), and newspaper


Step 1:
Tape your mason jar just above the area you want the glitter for a clean, fresh edge.

Step 2:
Use your paintbrush to paint the area of the mason jar where you want the glitter to sparkle.


Step 3: After the area is covered with glue, Sprinkle the glitter! I used a paper bowl to catch the stragglers and keep the mess minimum.

Step 4: Let glitter dry in the paper bowl for at least one hour (I waited longer just to be safe).
Step 5: Remove painters tape slowly, and..


 Job Finished!
(Note: I did not put glue or glitter on the bottom of the jar.)



 I love it! 
I've wanted to do this DIY project for so long, and I'm so happy I did. It was very easy and inexpensive. Nearly every supply item can be found at the dollar store.
I think it makes a perfect home for my glitter pens!

Sequins Obsessed




 Outfit Choice #1
 Outfit Choice #2

I am the definition of a 'girly girl' in which I love glitter, sparkles, and sequins. I bet you couldn't guess? ;)
I snapped up this sweater at H&M a few weekends ago shopping with one of my girlfriends. It was the perfect opportunity to wear it Thursday, because the weather was in the low 70's by evening! However, I wanted to pair it with shorts or a skirt. I opted for the black shorts, but I think it looks cute with both options. Needless to say, I am loving this sweater (and taking pictures of the sweater lol).
 I cannot wait for the weather to cool down, so I can wear this beauty more often :)


Have a wonderful weekend, beauties!

Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's

Vintage tea cup and saucer

After watching Breakfast at Tiffany's for the 10th time this week (my new favorite movie, btw), I instantly became obsessed with the fashion and overall design of the movie. I love Holly Golightly :) 
I want to start collecting some antique tea cups to hold some rings and to decorate for a future china cabinet.
The pink birthday dress and coat Audrey wears in Breakfast at Tiffany's is amazing. I just want to stare at it. I wish I could find an affordable version  but no such luck so far . .
I have also been eyeing this Kate Spade perfume and Essie polish, and I have also been dying to buy a Chanel book!
Last but not least, this Tory Burch satchel is absolutely amazing, and it has this vintage feel that I just can't stop dreaming about!

I am praying to find time to take some outfit pictures this weekend. 
Soon to come (fingers crossed)!

A Shopaholic's Wish List




Alright, so as if I don't already have everything I could need and more, I still manage to make a new wish list in my head daily. However, when it came down to actually making this, I had a hard time thinking of things I REALLY wanted!..But I managed to find several items, and now I can't stop thinking about them! I believe in positive thinking. So, if I make this post. I will own them some day.. ;)

I really want any pastel blouse, sequin blazer, and glitter skirt. These particular ones just looked so pretty! On the other hand, I do want a pair of Christian Louboutins (especially in nude), and that beautiful Alexander Wang Rocco Leather Bag . . 
The Kate Spade glitter mugs are so so cute. I also love this Chanel polish color. It reminds me of Tiffany's <3 , and I want a Tory Burch Iphone case, but I will not pay the price, and hoping I'll become lucky and find it on sale!

Sorry for the short post, incredibly hectic week. School is taking over my existence!

Birthday Fun

In the beginning of my month, it was my grandma's 80th birthday. We threw her a surprise party, and my whole family was there! I have a very large family and a lot of cousins. It was so nice to all be together.

Took a quick mirror picture. 
I'm wearing a faux fur coat (Zara), a pearl blouse (Trouve), and jeggings (A&F). 
I've worn this same arm party in a previous post, but I am in love with it! 
My nail are painted Rose Insolent (Chanel) & clutch by Sidney Ann (Etsy).

Instagram Love

Here are just a few photos I posted on Instagram recently. I am addicted to this app. If you have an iPhone, you have to check it out, but keep in mind that you may be glued to your phone (if you aren't already). Happy Thursday!

I realize these photos are in random order, but some of them are purchases I made last weekend (i.e., Kate Spade oxfords, Kenneth Cole gold link bracelet, and Rebecca Minkoff cosmetic case). All of these purchases were found at T.J. Maxx - LOVE that store!
Also, a beautiful Valentine's Day gift from my love, who is currently serving in Afghanistan. The lovely white Balenciaga <3 <3
