DIY T-Shirt Scarf
I love making things, headbands, jewelery you name it I like playing around trying to make something individual. I am not the best at creating this things though. One of my goals for 2012 is to start trying to make things I didn’t ever think I could. So I started with something basic, a scarf. Scarfs are so popular right now and I haven’t really jumped into the trend because I always find something I like better for the same price. I decided to make a scarf and all it took me was an old t-shirt and some scissors.
I started out by finding two old t-shirts I didn’t care about anymore. I chose black and pink but you could really choose anything.
Lay it flat out on a table or the floor and cut the bottom of the shirt of. After that you cut it in strips across the shirt, you can do wide strips, or really narrow it all depends on how long you want your scarf to be. After cutting the strips you will have a ton of loops, stretch out each loop making the the strip turn inward so there’s no fraying.
plan old t-shirt
cut into loops, up to the armpit of the shirt
After you have this done, you can put the loops in the order you want them to be in around your neck. Then take a piece of leftover t shirt and tie the scarf up at one spot in the back to make it all one unit.
finished product!

I am definitely not the best at describing or teaching things, but hopefully if you are thinking about being crafty this helped a little!

PageantCast!
I am so excited to share this! Last night I was the featured guest on “PageantCast” A web series that interviews pageant queens around the world! It is such a cool show, and Tim the host is a super nice guy! Here is the episode I was in!
My New Favorite Trend
Lately I have seen a lot of tops that are backless. I have always loved the look but never knew how to wear it! I can’t just go braless but at the same time it looks bad with a bra! So I never dove in and really got into the backless thing. I was at Pacific Sunwear the other day and found the CUTEST lace cami’s. They were black lace, cropped to just about the rib cage. The perfect thing for those oh so cute backless tops I had been aching over! So of coarse I splurge and buy three of these things! I love how the look turned out and just wanted to share, for anyone else who’s thinking of going backless but maybe doesn’t know how!
This is just the cami, it's 6.99 from PacSun, Kirra
I paired the backless shirt with a pair of purple jeans I got from Forever 21 for 19.99 and a long gold necklace also from Forever 21, 4.99

Up close, Just a side note; For makeup i went with a dark brown liner (Teddy, from MAC) a volumizing mascara (Day 2 Night from Rimmel!) and as odd as it sounds an orange lip stick, I liked how the color looked against my skin with the orange shirt (lipstick from cover girl, 4.99 plus shine gloss from maybelline 3.99)
P90X Update!
So I am on week 3 of p90x! I have been doing what I consider pretty damn good, I haven’t skipped any days of workouts and I have stuck to the diet pretty good. (Alright maybe not that good, but I am eating a hell of a lot better than I was before!) So this morning I looked in the mirror and thought I saw some abs! WHAT! YESSSS! haha, Abs! So of course I had to share a picture. While I’m bragging about abs, I have to tell you though that I did have a set back today and couldn’t work out. What I plan on doing though is pushing everything back by 1 day. So instead of getting an off day on Sunday I’ll just have it today… anyway! Here are my “kinda abs” that appeared this morning after 3 weeks of p90x!
Bow Tie Bangs and Me
I went in to the salon today just to get a my hair color touched up and a BABY trim, I say baby trim because I am really working on growing out my hair, especially the top layer which I used to wear VERY short. I am one of those people who gets sick of my hair constantly, so I was up for a minor change to tide me over. I had just finished watching last nights episode of “New Girl” and thought, “bangs, why not?”
After a touching up my color my stylist went through and trimmed my bangs and gave me what she called, “bow tie bangs” I love them, and its just enough of a change to keep me from doing something crazy during the growing process!
What To Wear To A Concert
I ponder this question constantly, “what should I wear to this damn concert!” It’s one of those things where if you are too dressy you look out of place, You want to be able to move around in whatever you pick, and walk in whatever shoes you pick as well!
My boyfriend Jimmy plays in a band, “West and Run” They are a little bit of pop, meets a little bit of punk. Tonight they have a show here in Grand Rapids and I thought bingo time to show off my concert wearing clothes!
This is what I chose for this particular event!
First off, I am lame enough to sport the bands t-shirt at the shows, (gotta have BF pride!) so I made sure mine looks extra snazzy but cutting the neck out to give it an over wider opening, it makes it look a little more feminine. I wanted to be able to wear whatever I chose out again after the show to dinner, or drinks without sticking out as a concert groupie. So I chose a high waisted brightly colored pencil skirt from Love Culture, along with a red boyfriend style blazer. Then with some black knee high wedge boots, and a waist cinching belt my look was complete!
Jacket- 29.99 @ Love Culture, Skirt- 19.99 @ Love Culture, Boots- 24.99 @ Forever 21
