Easy Infinity Scarf



So, infinity scarves are very popular at the moment. I love them.... BUT not enough to buy one. Especially when I have so many regular scarves that can be made into infinity scarves! 

HERE is how to make one for your self!

What you will need:

- A scarf (the longer the better)
- Scissors
- Fabric Glue!

Step one:
Cut off any fringe or whatever is on the ends of the scarf!

Step 2:

Fold the scarf in half so that both ends meet. If your scarf has a pattern, the outside of the scarf should now be on the inside. 

Step 3:

Use the fabric glue to make a seam no more than an inch a way from the end of the scarf. Then lay the other end of the scarf on top and pat it down so the glue can do its stuff!

Step 4:
Wait for it to dry!!!!
When it is dry you should have a seam like this!

AND YOUR DONE!

 I like to wear them unfolded.

But this is cute too!

Cute and Sassy Headband Tutorial!! (Great for all hair lengths!)

This is really easy to make and there was absolutely NO sewing involved!

I like this headband because it has a wire running through it. That makes it adjustable and it will stay on your head all day!
Here's how it's done!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED (more or less):

- one fourth of a yard of fabric (the softer the better)
- one yard of coated wire (the wire should be able to bend and hold its shape)
- ruler 
-scissors
- fabric glue (because I cant really sew)
*pins are optional

LETS DO THIS:
Step one:

Fold your fabric in half. Hot dog style :)

Step two:
Iron the bottom edge. This is kinda sorta optional but I think it helps! (AlsoOoo, if you don't have an iron use a hair straightener... thats what I did!)

Step three:
Unfold the fabric so the patterned side is face up! Measure about 2 cm from the edge and make a line of fabric glue all along that edge. 

Step four:

Fold the fabric in half! Go do something else for 10 minutes while it dries. 

Step five:

 Scrunchhh the fabric up using your finger. 


 When you get to the other end of the fabric pull it through....

Now, you should have a seam.... and you didn't even have to pick up a needle. 

Step six:

Take the wire and straighten it out!

The wire is going to run along the seam! BUT NOT YET!

choose one side of the seam then measure about 1 1/2 cm from the edge of the fabric. Then make another line of glue.
Then stick the two sides together! Creating another seam!

Step seven:

When its dry, find the hole in between the two seams!
Then...

Run the wire through!

It should look something like this when the wire is inside of it.

Step eight:

Trim off the extra fabric on the end but leave about an inch on each side.

Step nine:

Glue the edges together on both ends of the fabric.


AND YOU NOW HAVE A HEAD BAND!


Yay!



I like to put in on my head and then twist/scrunch the ends together to make a flowery thingy!

9 Things to do When You are NOT Feeling Fabulous...

Sometimes when you're in a bad mood (for whatever reason,) you need something to make your day a little brighter... 

Here is a list of 9 things I like to do when I feel like poop:

1. Wear SEXY Undies. yea.. undies. 

No matter what size we actually are, we all feel FAT and GROSS some days. Wearing sexy undies can help to remind you that you are hot... even if you are the only one that gets to enjoy the view. 

2. Light a Candle that Smells GOOOOD.

If your nose is happy... so are you. 
p.s. dont start a fire.... that will only make your day worse. 

3. WORKOUT!

I HATE going to the gym. But once I am all done with my workout I feel GREAT! Even if you can only do a little...
PUMP THAT IRON 

4. Clean Your Space Up.  

I cannot tell you how many times I have sat like a LOSER in my DISASTER of a room feeling like shit, not knowing what to do or how to entertain my self.  But then I would get the brite idea to tidy up and BAM! I just felt good... I dont know why this one works... it just does! 

5. ICE CREAM 

Someone once told me that the only two men in my life should be Ben&Jerry. If your feelin' heart achy.... these guys can help! 

6. Take a shower...

wash your hair, leave the conditioner in EXTRA long, exfoliate, shave, and even swab out your ears if you need to... you'll feel right as rain.

7. Paint those piggies!

Makes ya feel like a champ.

8. Sttttrrrrreeeeeeetttcccchhhh 

Even if you think you're bad at yoga (like me) .... use google to look up easy poses and just do a few. 

9. THE GOLDEN RULE...
look how happy they are!
My mom always says to me, "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping." 

So, there you have it!

To The Nines: NINE Things I LOVE for SPRING!

SO! Spring is here! The following is a list of 9 fashion trends that I think are DA BOMB!! 

First up on the list:

Rust and Burnt Orange clothing/accessories:
I have no idea why I am so attracted to this right now but I do know that I absolutely LOOOVE it. I think its great because it's a way to add INTENSE color to your wardrobe even if you usually don't like to rock bright colors. What I really want.... is a blazer in this color. AND SPEAKING OF BLAZERS....

NUMBER 2:

The Boy Friend Blazer
I have been really into these lately. BF blazers are an awesome way to class up your shit. 'Nuf Said. 

Number 3:

ADORABLE platform sandals. 
These are Big Buddha 'Zig' sandals. I LOVE them! (I own a pair.) They are tall but you can definitely still walk in them comfortably. BUT THE BEST PART IS... they are under 60 bucks! Work them with some skinny jeans or a pair of shorts to make you legs look HAWT. I love LOVE LoVe, THESE SHOES!

Number 4:
MAXI SKIRTS

Being 5'9",  I feel like I (and other tall ladies) should really use this trend to our advantage. Its a way to get a lot of pattern and color in an outfit without looking like your drowning in it. 

Number 5:
Crop Top

Now, crop tops are not for everyone. I certainly understand not wanting to reveal you tummy to the world. However, I think a crop top can be cute without being scant. You can layer it with a tank or pair it with something high waisted on the bottom. 

Number 6:
I Adore-a a good Fedora 
I dont usually agree with hats. The only time I will ever wear one is in the winter. BUT with fedoras... I don't know, they're just cool looking. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU WEAR ONE.

Number 7:
Aviators
Just like fedoras, these are just cool. You gotta love looking like a cop. 

Number 8:
Stack them Bracelets Ladies


I see this everywhere (including my own wrists.) I just think its cute. Also, a great way to show off every  bracelet you own at once. SOOO consider that. 

ANNNND NUMERO 9:
The Small Saddle Bag
 Being a humongous bag person, I was very much against this trend when it got popular. But, over time, as I saw it more and more, It just grew on me. AND NOW I LOVE THEM. Having a little bag is great for many reasons. For one thing, it's like a big wallet that you can just take with you anywhere... And secondly, wearing the usually skinny strap across your body can be a great way to make you look longer and thinner. So there's that. 


And there you have it boys and girls! My top 9  fashion trends for spring. I hope this has been both a touching and informative experience for you. 

Keep it sexy people.
