Fun, Fabulous, Ferocious Clutches

Hey Peeps!!

Okay, since I have recently been focusing on accessories I decided to keep that theme going with this post. I told you guys I was at a wedding last weekend. Well, what I didn't tell you was that I was forced to carry a wallet instead of a purse because I have all of 3 clutches. Black, Silver, and Black and Silver. How did that happen? Not totally sure but I think it has something to do with the fact that up until recently I needed to be able to carry cups and coloring books and bags of grapes in my purse.

Welp, those days are pretty much behind me (maybe not the bag of grapes), and I need to up my clutch game. Here are some that recently caught my attention. There is something here for everyone and every occasion -causal, chichi and citified. Yes, those last two are words.

Check them out and let me know what you think. Have you been crushing on any purses lately?  Leave me a link so I can check it out.

Summer Hair Accessory: The Headband Trend

I absolutely love these headbands. These statement pieces scream confidence. The headbands of today are a far cry from the thick plastic middle school bands that were light on style and heavy on teeth.

The updated version can be worn anywhere from Bonnaroo to an outdoor wedding, be dressed up with heels or down with t-straps and they look good with maxi's or jeans. Next time you're in Macy's or Urban Outfitters swing by the accessories section and try one on. I'm sure you'll love the look.

Women's Summer Sandals

I have a confession....I'm a shoe girl. Just ask my Husband.

Sample conversation:
Him: Babe, what would you like for (insert any holiday, anniversary, celebration or just cause event here)?
Me: "Shoes, Check my Pinterest for examples."
FIN. 

When he helped me move from my second apartment he actually got pretty upset with me because we spent 1/2 a day moving shoes. #Firstworldproblems

I kinda feel bad about having so many shoes when there are real problems in the world that don't include knowing which black pump out of the 12 I own to wear.  But everyone has their vices right?

Anyway, enough depressing stuff. Everyone can have an indulgence so here is a collage of some brightly colored sandals that I am digging for this month. I have listed the designer and the shoe title if you are digging them too so that you can find them if you like. These shoes hit all the marks for this year's sandal. We have t-straps, wedges, straps, heeled, caged, neon, patterned and more. Have you found a shoe that you cannot live without? Leave a link below so I can check them out.

DIY: 5 Step Scarf

I needed a black and grey scarf for an outfit but of course I don't own one. I do however own a black and grey sundress. Here's how to turn a cotton sundress into a scarf.

1. Lay the dress down flat and let's call the top side A and the bottom side B

2. Gather the dress and cross the bottom over the top   (side B over side A).

3. Loop Side A over Side B.  
 
4. Continue the loop by bringing side A under side B, forming a knot. 
 
5. Tuck remaining fabric of side A into the knot that has formed and you're done. You now have a scarf.

This is a fun and easy DIY project. Try it with floral or geometric prints and let me know what you come up with.
