Celebrity Style...Audrina Patridge...Im in love

I honestly don't know of anyone who rocks a wardrobe full of basics as well as Audrina Patridge. I love how casual her clothing style is yet how edgy and feminine it remains. The amount of basics in this womans closet must be out of control and I wish I could have them all! A while back I did a post about the celebrity stylings of Rachel Bilson and how much I adore her fashion choices as well. Audrina certainly takes the cake for everyday wear, as her styling looks so effortlessly fabulous. Which celebrity closet would you like to adopt as your own?

DIY Cap Toe Pumps...

For this project I chose to use Martha Stewart Crafts multi surface acrylic paints. A regular white for the base coat as I wanted the green to really pop. The main colour I used the same Martha Stewart multi surface in Sea Glass. I love this almost sea foam, mint green colour! Against the dark brown of my shoes it really pops! 

1. Tape off the toe of the shoe pressing down the tape firmly so you do not get any bleeding. If there is a noticeable sole (or even a small one in my case) tape that as well to make it easier to paint without any slips. 

2. Paint each toe with a coat of white paint for the base coat. I did not worry about it being perfect I just wanted to make sure there was enough coverage.

3. Add two coats of your colour of choice and remove the tape before it dries. And voila! Your very own personalized cap toe shoes. How easy was that? I had a little bit of bleeding onto the sole of the shoe but with a little nail polish remover and a Qtip it comes off so easily.

It's empty in the valley of your heart. The sun, it rises slowly as you walk. (outfit post)

What Im wearing:

Sunglasses - A great go to pair of vogue oldies.
Top - Vivienne Tam white tank.
Bottoms - Coral skinny jeans. I bought these jeans this weekend and am in love with the colour of them!
Shoes - Colour splotch pumps by Naughty Monkey. I adore these heels, I love the bright colours and the little leather bow on the back.
Belt - My beloved brown leather belt by Tommy Hilfiger.
Bag - Black leather envelope clutch. I made this bag today and am so pleased at how it turned out. I have never made a bag before, nor have I sewn with leather so I was nervous. Pleasantly surprised at the end result.
Jewelry - Necklace - Gold leaf from Forever21. Ring - gold bauble from H&M.

A Legendary Lensman...Arthur Elgort

With a lively and casual style to his photographs Mr. Elgort is a legend in the photography business and looking at his photos you can see why. I love how relaxed they are, so much fun and less structure than the norm, Arthur Elgort's photos rise above in my eyes.

Lusting Over: Floral Shorts

I have my eyes open for the perfect pair of floral shorts. It seems like I find a style I like but am not thrilled with the floral pattern, or a pattern I like and not thrilled with the style (you get the point). With that being said the hunt still continues but I thought I would share with you some adorable pairs I came across online. 

1. Frey hem short from Delias - $30. 2. White denim short from Delias - $25. 3. TNA conductor shorts from Aritzia - $70. 4. Neon rose cutoffs from NastyGal - $68. 5. Full bloom shorts from NastyGal - $68. 6. Pleated floral shorts from Forever21 - $16. 7. Floral denim shorts from Forever21 - $20.

My favourite little nooks and corners around my office...

The title really does speak for itself here but, sitting in my office I was glancing around as usual at my favourite little nooks and corners. From my white lion, vases and pictures, to a letter I found from my mom. Throughout our home I have my favourite items and corners, some with sentimental value and others are just pure lust for objects!

Above: The earrings I am wearing today posed at the bottom of my favourite picture frame
Below: Again the same little posed earrings, my wallet from my coffee run earlier and well a magazine, these seem to be strewn around every so often.

Above: One of my favourite things to look at when I am missing my mom, I have this letter from her pinned on my cork board and sometimes it makes me miss her more, other times it makes me smile brighter.
Below: My absolute favourite picture of my mom, how cute is this with the doggie in the background.

How To: Distressed Denim DIY

You don't have to wait for your jeans to get worn out and distressed from wear, with a couple tools, some spare time, old jeans and a tiny bit of elbow grease you can achieve the perfect distressed look. By using a serrated knife, exacto knife and scissors you can achieve quite the array of distress to jeans. 

Not really shown in the picture above, when making cut off jean shorts run the knife along the bottom of the shorts to give a great frayed look.

I love how the serrated knife gives a more subtle fray and just frays the surface of the fabric without going right through.

By using the exacto knife you can create a more frayed area on the shorts that will go through the fabric.

Add fun interest to the pockets as well!

Much Love...
