What to Wear this Weekend

Leggings? Baggy sweatshirt? Stocking cap? These are all elements for a lazy weekend spent indoors. 

Sequins? Red lipstick? Sparkly brooch? Black rim glasses? Over the knee boots? These are all elements that will elevate those elements off the couch and out for some daytime fun this Saturday.

I, on the other hand, will be wearing this dress and celebrating my entry into the 30s club!

DIY: Painted Brooch

I pinned this DIY from Emily of Cupcakes & Cashmere, a while ago and was waiting for a perfect brooch to paint. Then I realized that I already had one! 

So, I took three shades of nail polish (red, orange, and pink) to create an ombre effect from darkest on the outside, to lightest on the inside. And, voila! It was admittedly a bit hard to stay in between the lines, especially after two coats. What do you think? Maybe you'll see it in action sometime soon...like in my next post.
