This months EBEW is sequins and sparkle. Surprisingly, I don’t own anything all sequined (say what?!). Oh wait, I do have sequined Converse All Stars. Whoops.
But I do also have tops that are blinged out a bit and have some sparkle. This counts, right?
P.S - Check back in a little bit for a super awesome giveaway!

There were two holiday decorations that I knew I wanted to make this year: a tree skirt and our stockings. And with some 50% off fabric from Joanns, I did just that! I wish I could provide you guys with more of a detailed DIY. But to be honest, I kind of winged them both. I free handed some patterns without really measuring (which I wouldn’t really recommend, I just got lucky), and just worked by trial and error.
I’m super happy with the way they turned out. Especially the tree skirt - how cute is it with the little pom trim?!
**UPDATE** I may have been lazy, but Megan Nielsen just posted a super detailed (and SUPER adorable) stocking tutorial. See it here.
Have you done any fun holiday DIYs? Please share!

There are a handful of shows and movies that, if on TV, I HAVE to watch them. Like Armageddon and Titanic. I guarantee you - if I come across either of those movies in the guide, I won’t bother looking any farther. They suck me in.
Lately, its been Storage Wars. I.Can’t.Look.Away. And there seems to be a marathon on as I’m typing this. So I guess the rest of my day is shot, ha.

I’m not usually a really big pink kind of girl. I like it every once in awhile, but in small doses. This weekend, I felt like going all out. The skirt and sweater were screaming at me to be paired together.
And in reality, some of the pink in my skirt is a little brighter and the color of my tights is closer to the purple in the skirt. But its not coming across that way. Such is life.

Its Friday! Which means the weekend is pretty much here, and it is feeling like a pajama type of weekend. Buuuuuut Boo and I have some things to do. So, I’ll settle for the next best thing - chunky, comfy sweaters and baggy boyfriend jeans.
What are your plans for the weekend?

Shhhhh, I wore this skirt in the previous post. So back to back days. As you may know, traveling and working out of a suitcase can become its own little remix challenge. And sometimes that requires wearing the same skirt two days in a row.
An odd mix, perhaps? But I happen to love it.

This is what I wore on Thanksgiving day. Ta-daaaaaa.
Ok, now its time for a three little facts link up with Rebecca.
Turkey Day : I don’t mind turkey and traditional thanksgiving day food. But its not my favorite. After having turkey and all the fixins’ earlier in the day, our second thanksgiving day meal was smoked venison. Yummmm. I like the untraditional!
Ninja Turtles: I LOVED the ninja turtles as a little kid. I mean OBSESSED. I was a very very shy kid, and didn’t talk much. But I could tell you everything there was to know about those turtles.
Music: This one time, at band camp…. just kidding :) But I did go to orchestra camp all throughout high school, so I guess thats the same thing. Nerd.
