Want to add ears to an existing beanie? click here DIY Bunny ear beanie (alter to your desired animal ears)

Don't have a beanie? Don't worry! Take an old sweater and cut it under the armpits. Cut open along one side and then wrap it around your head. Cut it to fit the diameter of your head. Sew it into a tube. Then, put it on and measure to where the top of your head is and mark it. Then, design the ears that you want for your hat on a piece of paper. Cut them out and use as a pattern. Pin pattern to the top of head mark at the edges of your hat. Cut around the ears and across the head measurement between the ears. Sew closed.

Stay Beautiful! ;D

Last Minute DIY Costume: Witch

You will need: black boots (mine are from DSW), striped tights (Mine are from Party City), a black skirt ( its more fun with a halloweeny print! Mine is from H&M), a black top (Mine is from Urban Outfitters), and a witch's hat (mine is from target). I added an anthropologie scarf for a fashionista look. For make up I darkened up my eyes with glittery gray shadow from Sephora, giving a slight smoky eye, and I used the same eyeshadow to hollow out my cheeks. I lined my tightline and waterline with black eyeliner and I put black lipstick on. Lastly, I stuck some sequins bats on my face with lash glue.

Stay Beautiful! ;D

Last Minute DIY Costume: Scarecrow

All you need for this look is a straw hat, a flannel shirt, distressed jeans, and a pair of brown boots. Makeup: use an eyeliner pencil to sketch two lines coming out from the corners of your mouth. Add some stitches down the lines. Draw a triangle on your nose. Fill it in with red lipstick, lip liner, or a red eyeliner. Draw stitches around the edges. Add stitches along your lower lash line as well. Finish off with a red lipstick on your lips.

Stay Beautiful! ;D

DIY: Screen printed T shirts

So, like almost all of my tutorials, I did not come up with this idea on my own. I'm not taking credit for almost anything I post on this blog. So instead of making a video explaining what I did to recreate this look, i'm linking the original video to this post. I just looked up cute kawaii faces for the faces on the shirts and my friend wrote on them in Japanese. Enjoy!

Back to School: Sweet as Sugar

Turned 16 today, this is my birthday outfit. I had the jeans in the picture before this but the legs didn't fit right so I cut them into shorts. I think they turned out pretty good.

Back to School: First day

Hey guys, this one has two looks for you. I'm wearing a more girly, bohemian, dressy look whereas my sister went for a look that was relaxed and casual.
