DIY: Starfish hair clips

Posted in diy, hair by

How cute are these starfish hair clips?!

I needed something to pull my mermaid costume together for Halloween and these are the perfect addition. The best part is that they are super easy to make!

I purchased some starfish from my local Michael’s or craft store (I selected a pack of three that had a variety of sizes in it so that I could distribute them all over my long curly hair), and used some jewelry & metal glue to adhere them to some plain metal hair clips that I also found at the craft store.

I clipped them in as soon as they dried. Took about 24 hours to fully adhere.

If you go to Michaels, don’t forget to use their weekly 40% off one regular priced item coupon.

Links to items that I purchased:

  1. Starfish
  2. Hair clips
  3. Jewelry & Metal Glue (I purchased the 3 pack in case it dried out before I used it again, but they sell a large single tube also)

Sunsets and gold accents

Wow, we sure do have some catching up to do!

Let’s kick things off with my favorite shirt from this past summer. I bought this fun pineapple sequined top from H&M and fell in love with the shimmering sequins. It’s so easy to dress up and down. I paired it with some fun metallic heels here, a simple dark wash jean and a gold bangle, but it goes well with so much more!

Throw in a beautiful sunset for that extra special touch.

Stay tuned for more posts.

Styling Outfits with Prints and Patterns

Posted in diva tips, fashion, score board by

Hey Loves!

Notice any similarities between this outfit and the outfit featured in our last post, Weekend Wear: Formal to Fun in a Flash?

All I did was swap out my floral print skirt with cute palm shorts (outfit details below). Everything else is the same! Black tank, jean vest and wedge sandals.

Don’t be afraid to wear patterns ladies (and gents!). If you’re a beginner, here are a few simple tips to remember.

  1. Keep the focus on one item of clothing that has a pattern/print
  2. Pair with solid colors
  3. Wear items with similar hues (for example, I chose blues and blacks, but could have easily worn a white tank also)

Outfit details:

  • palm shorts – Attention brand from Kmart – ($4 on clearance!)
  • jean vest – Adam Levine brand from Kmart
  • black tank – Target
  • wedge sandals – Nine West

Have a great weekend!

Ava
