You have seen me wear some Brianne’s beautiful pieces in lookbook posts. (Such as here or here.) Today, Be More Beautiful is generously offering to give the Captivating Colors Statement Necklace to one lucky girl. Its my personal favorite from her spring line.
Head on over to the IHOD facebook page to see how you can EASILY win this beauty!
I actually managed to tackle that to do list I mentioned! I think when you speak it aloud or write it down, the chances of getting things done are greater…:)
So the debate on colored denim was between golden yellow and jade green…I ended up with coral. Its an all time favorite color. After trying on colored denim at HM and Target, these fit the best. Are you adding fun colored denim to your spring line up? Let me know if you have found a good pair!
Style Word: There are so many fun ways to mix prints this season. I layered two prints above as one option. Liz has a great round up of more print mixing ideas for you to check out!
(Leave your outfit post links in the comment section! I am working on finding the best way to link up for upcoming posts!)
P.S. Check back in tomorrow for a fun new giveaway and the winner of the Poshlocket giveaway (you still have today to enter)!

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
I’ve got a little arm swag DIY for you today:) Let me warn you this is not as easy as last week’s ombre wrap bracelets. This is what I call an intermediate level DIY, but it is still fairly easy..
Materials:
Leather or pleather strips measured and cut to fit around your wrist size
(you can buy strips of it at a craft store, but I cut mine from leather samples I had)
Metal or rhinestone studs (found minehere and here)
Using the point of a sharp knife (make sure you have your leather pieces on a cutting board), cut small slits the width of your metal pieces along your leather strip.
Insert rhinestone and pyramid studs and close prongs in the back. Use a pliers if needed to close tightly.
Using your pliers, clasp your crimp pieces over the ends of the leather pieces tightly.
Add your jump rings and lobster clasps on the ends.
Wear your arm swag and mix and match with other bracelets of choice.
(Third bracelet is from Poshlocket -giveaway going on here.)
If you remember, I was lucky enough to be a part of these traveling canvases, the 15 Friends Project. These two artworks are the collaborative effort of 15 bloggers, each which added their own touch to the canvas. See what I added here.
Cool news is, they are now up for auction!Steve and Michelle (the creators of the project) are going to donate half of the proceeds to charity and the other half to starting more collaborative projects! You can bid on the artworks here.
It was such an honor to work with some of my favorite bloggers on this project, and can’t wait to see what else Steve and Michelle come up with!

She heads over to the shoe section (her first mistake) and faints to the floor over a pair of the perfect Guess pumps. As she recovers, her peripheral vision catches the perfect hue of emerald green. To her surprise, there is only one shirt left in her size….for 14$. She faints for the second time.
A girl walks out of a TJMAxx……with everything BUT picture frames.
(And this is why I never go in there.)
P.S. In the first picture I was on the hunt for the perfect colored denims for spring. (I took a poll on instagram. You will see my choice in the next outfit post;))
Style Word: Changing up a top from day to evening is convenient especially if you are traveling. I usually wear jeans and flats during the day. To dress it up and convert over to an evening look, just add some heels and a richer lip color. 🙂 How do you like to dress up a look?
