Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was crafty like me?

I am trying to save money because me and my gorgeous hubby are going on a Mediterranean cruise this fall and it will be expensive to purchase all the pasta I'm planning on eating when we get to Italy.

Well, I've wanted some gold shoes for a while now and by chance I saw a tutorial like THIS ONE so I decided to try my luck.

I got a pair of boring black wedges, some fine antique gold glitter, mod podge sparkle and a paintbrush.

I mixed the mod podge and glitter together to paint one coat, let it dry over night, and then followed up with a second coat the day after to fill in any bald spots.

I was super excited with the results, but now I have to sit on my hands because I want t o glitterize EVERYTHING!

Which makes typing very difficult let me tell ya!

I have a problem...

with HATS!

I love them! More than anyone should. I blame my grandad he wore one all the time!
I know they're not for everyone, but I feel a little more interesting, a little more mysterious, even, dare I say it, dangerous when I wear one. Really, I just like to wear stuff on my head or in my hair! Hairbands, clips, tiaras, wigs even. It's a cheap way to add a little personality to an outfit in a jiffy.

 I wear my $6 straw fedora all the time! I got it from "The Icing" which is the tween accessories store where they will pierce your ears and nose...not sure about how sterile the mall is, but never mind, I digress.

Above outfit:

Hat- the Icing

Earrings- Vintage

Tank top- The Gap

Cardigan- Target

Jeans- The Gap

Shoes- Payless

Necklace- Topshop (gift from my sister)

It's a must for a questionable hair day :)

Slouchy hats are great! I added a flower hair pin to add some more pizazz to this basic black one.

I know you can't really see my hat in this picture, but it's a slouchy ombre knit that I wore until it literally fell apart (in a bar, when I caught it on a coat hook. R.I.P)



I have berets in a few different colors, I was wary about wearing a red beret with a red coat, but I think I rocked it!

I love this bow clip that JenyfferMaria made me!

These flower clips from Anthropologie are my favorites!

This was a Halloween costume, but I've actually found a few occasions that I could wear my tiny top hat to.

I used to wear this pink wig all the time when I worked in cosmetics. I should pull that out more often!
Or maybe not...Nicki Minaj kinda has the pink wig market covered.
