The weather man told me it will be 80 degrees by Wednesday here in Northern California. As someone who thrives in the sunshine, I am verrryyy happy with this news! One thing I like to do when the weather starts to warm up is get my hands in some dirt and plant a little garden. [...]

I finally got myself a Tumblr to satisfy my need for eye candy. I know I probably don’t really need another form of social media in my life (hello distractions!), but what the hey. If you have one, please let me know so that I can follow you! I have mine linked to my Facebook [...]

I just added a few new rope necklace designs to my Etsy store, ranging from $14.50-$15.99! They are approximately 7-10″ long, and are made out of cotton/rayon blended rope, crystal beads, and ribbon. (If you would like a bracelet version of any of these necklaces, please let me know). Hope you enjoy them!

I always enjoy reading other bloggers’ posts on some of their likes and dislikes – it’s a fun way to get to know them a little more on a personal level. I haven’t really tried my hand at one of these personally. I have done plenty of posts on my favorite trends, music, and products, [...]

Images from: ApartmentTherapy.com, UrbanOutfitters.com, FayetteWoman.com, MyProjectStyle.com, CaldwellFlake.com I’m coveting these upholstered headboards with a passion. It’s one part elegant, one part personality, and a dash of cozy all wrapped into one piece of furniture; I’m predicting a DIY project in my near future…. Do you love the look of these headboards as much as me? [...]

Coming from a consumer’s standpoint, shipping rates are super important. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll find something I like on Etsy (or any online retailer), but be dissuaded from purchasing because of high shipping costs. Case in point, I’ve been trying to find some pretty, unique pillows for my living room. I finally found [...]

I was inspired by this suede and shearling vintage jacket my aunt recently passed down to me to try something a little retro. This season is all about the 70s, so I thought I would put together a little hair tutorial on my version of the popular big curled, Charlie’s Angel-esque feathered look. All you [...]

These past weeks over at Craft Medley I’ve been focusing on projects that add a bit of color and fun into our daily lives. Whether worn or placed around the house, in days of rain and snow a little cheerfulness goes a long way. Check out some of my recent projects below and happy crafting! [...]

This month I noticed a common theme in my unhealthy number if magazine subscriptions – orange lips. Now this isn’t exactly a new phenomena (I had blogged about this look in my new-look-a-day makeup challenge months ago). But with all the beautiful images of various shades of coral pouts assaulting me I decided the try [...]

Throw away all your preconceived notions about crochet and macramé wear because this season it’s booming with a vengeance. Modern pieces are a far cry from their dowdy, aging counterparts, and spark a romantic-cool aesthetic. From holey tops to chic skirts and an array of accessories in between, adding a bit of macramé to your wardrobe is [...]

No, not the shoes, although they are infinitely nicer to look at. If you’re a fellow hair-down-the-drain offender like me, you’ve probably had to deal with a clogged drain before. And don’t raise your hand, but I’m sure many of us have resorted to the dreaded Drano. Not only is the stuff laden with unhealthy [...]
