Heart Shaped Elbow Patches DIY

This is a DIY that I've wanted to do for about

a year. I can't believe I didn't do it sooner! It's

adorable and literally only takes about 45 mins.

One sweater, two patches of fabric, a marker, pins,
 scissors, a needle, and thread is all you will need!

1. Cut out two hearts from your patches of fabric

2. Put your sweater on and holding your elbow up
mark the tip of your elbow

3. Pin the middle of the heart patch to the mark
you've just made

4. Sew around the edges

5. Blamo! You're done! Wear it with your one hour
 skirt, (that you could win until tomorrow at midnight!)

enter the skirt giveaway! Shoot me an email

Graduation!

Well it's that time of year again when the graduation

cappies fly! But this time around I'll be joining the parade.

(Whoever said graduating in 4 years was possible

was an idiot by the way.) So of course my darling mother
wanted me to send invitations so everyone could
share in the joy of my success, or whatever. But
 like any good student I procrastinated making/sending
 out said invites. Luckily I've got a bunny of a roommate
and she volunteered (by force) to take pictures for me.

Of course when the time came to take the

pictures I was totally at a loss as to what to

wear. However I always find it's comforting in
these situations to wear someone else's clothes.
Jane is something of fashion icon for me so
naturally I stole this totally darling sweater

and necklace from her.

 Even though I can't believe I'll be done with
school in just a handful of weeks, I can't wait for
what lies ahead. Though, no I don't know what
I'll be doing after I graduate, I'm sure there's
a Jeremiah 29:11 style plan for me. So I'm deciding
I won't sweat that jive. That is, until my lease is up.

p.s. here's a couple things I wanted to

be when I "grew up" as a kid:

-Veterinarian

-Cashier

-Marine Biologist

-Hair Stylist

-Waitress

-Model

-Fashion Designer

-Writer for Fashion Magazine

Inspiration Board

Today has kind of been a weird day. Do you ever feel like you've

 accomplished a lot but your day is still a drag? That's me today.

So I decided to whip up an inspiration board that contains

 things that brighten up my mood when it's dull, things I want 

to do, people that inspire me, and other awesome stuff. 

Clockwise from the upper left hand corner:
- Jimmy Stewart, my classic movie crush he's

adorable and hilarious. 

- A super cuuute idea for planting herbs, which I've
 been itching to do lately. 

-I love this cable knit sweater, they're just so cozy
to wear with leggings on a cold day which we've
 been having more of.

 -I've been almost done with Wuthering Heights for 

months now, I wish I had a moment to read it. I guess 

I have a thing for tragic romances. 

-Oswald Chambers, whose daily devotion I read as
often as I can. This guy goes in my top ten wisest
 dudes category.

 -Bed! Oh geez if there were only more sleep hours in the day. 

-A teensy tiny terrarium I found on Pinterest, there is
 something so calming about little things 

I just get lost in my own imagination, pretending I'm a

 tiny person able to fit into that tiny world.
-Who doesn't smile when they see a tiny puppy?
If you don't you have zero point zero heart.
-In the middle is a painting. I have three of this type of
painting. Don't ask me what kind it is, despite
having taken Art History 151, I will not know.
What I do know is when I look at these paintings it 

gives me the childlike urge to jump into it Mary Poppins style. 

And that in short..or not so short is what I'm thinking

 about today. Anyone else?
