Beaded Wrap Pearl Bracelet

DIY – OrnamenTea Pearl Beaded Wrap Bracelet

I discovered OrnamenTea.com a few weeks ago and fell in love. It’s a one stop shop for jewelry and accessories DIY projects. They have so many amazing tutorials to choose from and for each how-to, they sell all of the ingredients right there on the project page. Not only do they showcase the materials they used, but they also offer up so many color and materials options.

When I stumbled upon their beaded wrap bracelet tutorial, I knew I had to DIY it. They used ball chain in their tutorial, but one of the other options was this beautiful gold and pearl chain. I wanted to run with the natural pearl theme, so I paired it with coral wax linen, natural leather cord, and a beautiful moss and coral bead.

What do you all think of this beaded wrap bracelet? Is this something you would DIY?

Manicure Mondays – Candy Corn & Spider Webs

Happy Halloween and welcome to a spook-tacular edition of Manicure Mondays. Thanks so much to Incoco for sending me their Candy Corn and Spider Web press on polish. These designs are so fun and easy to apply. I’m wearing the Spider Web polish today for Halloween and everyone wants to know how I got the look! I love black polish, I love the sparkly silver design, and I’ve been wanting to try a spider web Halloween mani for years. In addition to Incoco’s fun holiday designs, you have to check out their new Drama Queen collection – it’s oh so dramatic!

Also, this is the last week that Manicure Mondays will be hosted at The Looks For Less. I started a new blog about ALL of my loves, and it seems as though manicures {beauty} fits best there. Keep checking in at The Looks For Less for budget + fashion, and check out Fab Fatale for Manicure Mondays, recipes, DIYs, beauty, fashion, and so much more. In fact, I posted a Manicure Mondays over there today as well, so you get a double dose of my manis this week.

Zoe Saldana High Waist Jeans Look For Less

The Breakdown

I’m loving this easy and comfortable, yet super stylish look on Zoe Saladana. The Hollywood cool look is what she does so well. What do you think of the high-waisted jeans trend? Is this a look for less you would try?

I’ve missed you guys this past week. I have been so sick, which actually included a trip to the hospital and an IV, but I’m back and better than ever. Thanks so much to those of you that reached out wondering where the heck I’ve been. I hope you all have a great weekened!

Fashion-forward brand Baby-G has done it once again! This time, they’ve partnered with Ke$ha to design watches that couldn’t tie in any better with her hit song “TiK ToK”. So far, there are two watches available: a red, white, and blue watch inspired by the American flag (LOVE), and a leopard print watch, perfect for fall!

Baby-G is running a sweepstakes and they’ll be giving away four Baby-G watches to four random winners! To enter, like Baby-G’s Facebook page and tweet your favorite Baby-G watch with the hashtag #babyg.  Make sure you check out the Baby-G sweepstakes and I hope you’ll comment back to let me know which watch you like best – sweepstakes rules.

 

The Scoop From Baby G

  • Launched in September, the Baby-G and Ke$ha collaboration watch models display the head- turning style that make both Ke$ha and Baby-G unique to loyal fans. Ke$ha tackles two of her most signature themes in the design of her timepieces – animal print and All-American. Both watches are also adorned with Ke$ha’s signature “Ke$ha” logo.
  • The BGA200KS-1E harkens to Ke$ha’s wild side, as well as what is arguably the most identifiable theme in Ke$ha’s music, imagery and style, by using an animal print. She designed this watch with a leopard print pattern on the watch’s face and also its black resin strap.
  • For her second design’s look, Ke$ha created the patriotic BG5600KS-7 model, which features the colors and shapes of the American Flag’s imagery with red, white and blue complete with stars.
  • The attention-grabbing watches also have the functionality that sets the Baby-G brand apart. The BGA200KS-1E is shock resistant and 100M water resistant and is equipped with an LED Light, world time from 48 cities and 29 time zones, a daily alarm, 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, 12/24 hour formats and a mute function. The BG5600KS-7 features 100M water and shock resistance, EL backlight with afterglow, 48-city world time, four daily alarms and one snooze, countdown timer, 1/100 second stopwatch, mute function and 12/24 hour formats.
  • The watches are available at Tourneau, Nordstrom, select Macy’s stores and fashion boutiques, with an MSRP of $120 for the BGA200KS-1E and $99 for the BG5600KS-7. Check out the collection on baby-g.com for more information.
