I love ruffles, and I've always wanted to figure out how to make them. A blog I just started reading regularly, Evie S., just posted four tutorials on how to create ruffles for belts, shirts or anything else you want to embellish. Check it out!
I've never owned an item that had an animal print on it. This year may be the first because I'm diggin' the leopard print. Now, I'm not really a bold print person, so I'm thinking of leopard print accents for myself. There are, however, a lot of leopard leggings, sweaters and shirts out there if you're wanting to make a big statement.
So, what do you think...are you over the animal prints or are you just getting into it like me?
Ladies and gents, I apologize for not sharing this earlier, but it has been awhile since I've used this discount...Did you know that J.Crew regularly takes 15% off of your purchase when you show your student ID or proof that you're a teacher (paycheck works)?! They always offer this deal, so take it advantage of it.
Also, if you see something online that you like and your local store doesn't have it, pick up the red phone in your local J.Crew and they'll waive the shipping and send it to you!
Isn't J.Crew the best?! Love, love, love it!
I'm not a fan of the Navajo print trend. I think a lot of it has to do with living in Arizona and seeing it EVERY where when I visit Sedona. What do you think?
This may be a bit premature, but I'm saying good-bye to summer. It's still over 100 degrees here in Arizona, but all of the retail stores are starting to bring in their fall clothes and that means summer is gone in my book. Besides, I hate summer in Arizona and anything that makes fall come faster is A-Okay to me. Here's my tribute to all things summer and a happy farewell until 2010!
