Movie Outfit

I went to the movies today and wore this wonderful outfit!

Did it go together? Sorta. Was it fabulous? Completely. 

Bonus points: that bag is from Africa. Hence the pretty paintings of giraffes and warriors and stuff.

DIY Galaxy Pants

Even before galaxies became cool, galaxies were cool. But now, it's socially awesome to wear them as clothing. And, even better, it's super fun to make your own galaxy clothing! Let's get started...

You will need: 

1 pair of black pants that you won't mind destroying (I used old Levi Skinny Jeans) 

Bleach 

Spray Bottle

Water

Sponge

Toothbrush

Purple, Blue, and White fabric paint

Directions: 

Mix together two parts bleach and one part water in the spray bottle. 

Lightly mist jeans. The bleach will make a orange-ish hue. 

Swirl certain areas and mist more to create a spiral effect. 

Do this to both sides, and let them sit for a minute. 

Rinse out bleach so that it doesn't continue cause holes. 

Dry jeans until they're only damp. 

Using gold paint, highlight areas in the spirals. 

Using a sponge and the blue and purple paint, make clouds of color. 

To create a soft look, dampen the sponge and blend the clouds. 

Dip the tooth brush in the white paint and make stars. 

All done! 

Before & After: Halloween Wedding Dress

Hi! Last Halloween, I went to the thrift store and saw a super cool wedding dress, which I planned on ripping up and covering in scary blood. Then I decided I would much rather be a nudist on strike, so I wore my morph suit. BUT, back on track, I had a wedding dress in my closet.

What?! Lizzie, where would you wear that? 

I know! Soooooo, after school, I turned it into this! 

Yay! Now THAT is the kind of dress I would wear to parties I don't get invited to! Don't mind the mess....OH YEAH! 

3 Fun Ways To Accessorize

Hi! Accessories are just about the best thing in the world. Using them, you can turn a boring outfit into a fabulous one. Also, you can turn one outfit into twenty.

1. Adding a belt to an over-sized shirt or dress is the perfect way to add a little of your own style and accentuate your waist.

2. Scarves can make a tank look snazzy in the summer and sweaters look extra cozy in the winter.

3. Nail polish isn't always considered an accessory, but to that I say...no. Play around with it and try different  styles to find what looks good with your skin tone and matches your outfits. Right now I'm sporting a mint polish with a golden sparkles top coat.

Yay, accessories! Fun fact: all these items are from Forever21. Now go make a normal outfit absolutely wonderful. 

DIY Summer

Hey! As we all know, summer just can't be summer without a little DIY action up in it, so I've collected six projects just for you!

First, a pair of cut-offs. These ones, as you can see, have cool designs gone on them in Sharpie, which is pretty darn awesome. They don't need too much of a tutorial, and the one I have is in Spanish, but you can easily translate it, so here it is: cut-offs

And now we have this adorable little basket, that you can make out of paper bags. Sweet, right!? Here ya go: upcycled basket

Here's one from thebeautydepartment.com. The picture tutorial just shows you where to tape off your mason jars so you can spray paint them. You can put your hair goodies in there, use it as a cup, plant flowers, the possibilities are endless!

This is one of my favorites! In this tutorial, she says to paint dots with the paint, but with others they've just said to splatter it, so it's really up to you. 

I know this says workout shirt on it, but you could really wear it anywhere. Here's where it came from! 

Annnnnd last but not least, studded sneakers! Yay! Just the right amount of gangsta. Find 'em at Honestly WTF. 

Outfits

Time for some fun outfits! I'd love all these to be in my closet.
