DIY blogger gift idea

I'm all about DIY (do it yourself) and thought with all of the DIY bloggers coming out with books it would be fun to give a book and DIY a gift.  Here are some ideas:

I SPY DIY
IN LOVE with this clutch and it seems pretty easy...you can find clutches everywhere for this project.

 P.S. I made this

This would be a fun clutch for your iPad!

Cupcakes and Cashmere

A pretty necklace you can personalize.

A Pair and a Spare

I'm addicted to pom poms and LOVE this keychain!  She also does a ton of easy clothing DIY projects!  I can't wait to see her book!

Trend alert: Are you knotting your tops?

I keep seeing street style bloggers showcasing people knotting their tops and was wondering if everyone else is doing it...I'm LOVING this styling technique and have done it a few times...I say it's a year round styling not just summer as you can see below. I prefer using button downs, but, you can also use a classic T to give more shape to the look.

What I Wore

You can buy tops that have a knot already established.  Styles to try here, here, here and here.

Cupcakes & Cashmere

Moi testing out the trend.  I also love it with high waisted jeans, short, skirts, etc.

Home Must-Have: Mirrored Accents

Since I am now home with my daughter during the day I now watch shows like Martha Stewart and Nate Berkus (might I add, women LOVE him!!:) and I've become addicted to home decor on another level:)  I also LOVE to read online magazine Lonny Mag and Rue Magazine which inspire me even more...even bloggers like The Glamourai, B Jones Style, Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere and Love Maegan share pictures and DIY's from their home that I also look to get help from.  Finally, catalogs like West Elm, Jonathan Adler and Pottery Barn also make me so excited to get the mail.

I say all of this to share that the home trend that Nate Berkus shared that I have to have is the mirrored tray (which I'm showing here from Target for only $17.99). To be honest...I want all five of them, which you can find out here.  But, I am just really digging all things mirror in my house right now.  And the fun thing is you can add it to your home regardless of the style of your decor, genius!

Shopping List: H&M is coming to Tucson and I know what I want...how about you??

I need this dress that Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere is wearing.

I've been looking for a jacket like this for about 2 years!  I can't wait to own this!  Apprently this won't be in until September...but, that's close...see what else to expect in September from NitroLicious.

Every girl needs a classic trench...this one looks like a great one that will last through the years...watch out Burberry:)  ONLY $34.95

I had a little time to play dress up with the fun games on H&M...I LOVE IT!:)
