I've always loved my murder mysteries and one of my favorite character-types is the black widow. I'm fascinated by the mystique and absolute evilness of her. If you're looking for an easy Halloween costume, grab a black dress from your closet, make my Black Widow Fascinator, and you're ready to go. For this project, you will need: two pieces of black felt interfacing headband black tulle needle scissors thread Cricut Maker (I first made this with the original ... Read More

Early Morning Casual
We live close enough to our school that as long as the weather isn't too bad, we walk. I'm not a morning person at all, as anyone who has ever met me for the least amount of time can attest to. We're three weeks into school now and have pretty much gotten our morning routine down, but there isn't a lot of time for me to get ready once I have the girls ready to go. I like being able to throw something on that makes me presentable and I'm comfortable in, hence my early morning casual. I'm ... Read More
August Stitch Fix
I've been with Stitch Fix for almost two years now, and I still get excited each month when I get my shipping notification. I always sneak a peek at the clothing descriptions and wonder just what each item will actually look like. I never get it right, and that's half the fun for me. This month, I shared my five items on my Facebook page. I love getting other opinions because often people will see something that I don't. I'm more often talked into something than out of it. ;) I'll start ... Read More
Felt Fascinator DIY
I have a fascination with fascinators and when I was given the opportunity to use the new Cricut Explore, I knew immediately that that's what I wanted to make. (Say fast felt fascinator three times fast!) I'm in the Cricut Design Space STAR! competition and this is my first entry. The category is fashion and my team's theme is yellow. Before I get into my tutorial, just take a look at the yellow awesomeness of Team 10! Read through to the end of the post for all their links! Now, let me ... Read More
Gleam Review
I love makeup. There, I said it. It's hard (for me, at least) to be comfortable in makeup in the heat of summer. It doesn't help that I'm super pale and dry at the best of times. Enter Gleam by Melanie Mills. Melanie is an Emmy-Award winning makeup artist, so you know Gleam is pretty awesome. I was given the opportunity to try out Body Radiance in Rose Gold, Lip Radiance in Up Against the Wall, and Radiant Dust in Rose Gold. I was immediately struck by how well the products worked with my ... Read More
Pattern Mixing
I've always been impressed with how some ladies are able to mix patterns easily and look great. I've never really been able to pull it off, but after a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with something that I felt confident in. What's funny is that I just threw it together instead of thinking about it. Maybe that's the trick to pattern mixing? Have I mentioned how bad my allergies have been this summer? My eyes instantly puff up and water as soon as I step outside. Scott had me close ... Read More
