Flower Power

This week's style trend for Mamanista Fridays is floral. I own a pair of floral jeans and a pair of floral boots. I decided to switch things up a bit and wear both floral pieces together. When I put it together in my head I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't work but the denim shirt helped to balance out the prints. I added a pink tee to bring out the pink in both the jeans and boots. 

Urban Bohemian

Happy middle of the week day! Not everyone likes it when you say hump day, so that's my alternative. At least for now. Last Sunday we went to see Hangover 3 and it was hilarious, seriously funny. It's supposedly the last part of the movie but the way it ended it's quite possible that there may be another one. You guys should check it out if you haven't already.

The weather was sunny but breezy and I wanted to wear something different so out came my version of the bohemian style. The midi length skirt was actually a vintage gap dress that I cut and added elastic to the waist and took in the sides because it was just too big. I paired it with a crop top that I thrifted and a pair of high top chucks the same color as one of the flowers in the skirt. The denim jacket and fedora were added to keep everything in place from the breeze. The top half of the dress I cut into a button up crop top. 

What do you think about my boho style?

Rose Gold

It's hump day already and this week is going by pretty quick. I've been doing a lot of running around and it's helping to pass the time. Today's top and pants are both thrifted and I got lucky with the blues matching perfectly. Of course, I don't have to match but I wanted to. I love the brightness of the shirt  and something about it just screams summer. I think the next time I wear it, it'll be with a pair of cut-offs. The oxfords are rose gold metallic and were too cute to pass up on. I guess I have a thing for oxfords. I really want an all white pair. One day!

Say Hi to the neighbor!

Is your week going by as quickly as you like?

Floral Arrangement

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great Sunday and enjoyed Mother's Day. We went to the movies. Mel and I watched The Great Gatsby. My son watched Iron Man 3. He said to me, "Mom, I'm not interested in that movie. I said it was cool for you." Hey, I tried! Anywho, Carey, Leonardo, and Toby were awesome! (I'm pretending like I know them personally.) The movie was over 2 hours long and well, you just have to see it for yourself. In spirit of Mother's Day I decided to do create a mixed print look and went with stripes and florals. The floral ankle pants are from J Crew and the striped cardigan is from Forever 21. Both pieces were under 5 bucks from Goodwill. Score! The ankle booties are a DIY project that you can check out here. The statement necklace is from Lydell NYC and I won it in a giveaway from Anngelik over at Vogue and Heels. (Make sure you check out her blog. She puts together great outfits and she also loves florals). The necklace has 3 mint stones surrounded with crystal diamonds. It's a pretty serious piece of jewelry and I don't own many, which is why I wear the same 4 that I own, but I like it and am happy that I won something since I never ever win anything. At first, I thought the outfit was cute, then I didn't like it, then I felt like who cares, and then I like it again, a little. It's only clothes and I'm having fun putting new and different pieces together since I've began blogging.

Did you do anything for Mother's Day? Will you be checking out The Great Gatsby anytime soon?

DIY: Studded Timbs

I saw some pics on my instagram of gold studded Timberlands. I thought it was a fresh idea so I decided to create some with my own pair of Timbs.

Source: Instagram user - Deyona_D

The supplies that I used were studs, q-tips and glue. I ordered 100 gold pyramid flat back studs from Etsy. These studs come with glue already attached to it. You can heat and stick if you have a heating tool. I don't so I used E-6000 glue and applied it to the back of studs. I used q-tips to put the glue onto the studs and gently placed them into my desired pattern.

To make it more of my own style, I used pyramid studs instead of the bullet studs and I decided to only do one side of the boot instead of all the way around. Instead of adding a printed design to the tongue I added a few studs to the top.

Here's what I wore with the boots.

Do you like the studded Timbs trend? Will you buy a ready made pair or create your own?
