{Fashion DIY} Fabulous Monogrammed Wristlet

I came across this picture sometime last week while browsing through Pinterest and I fell in love. It’s a Fashion DIY from the blog, Little Green Notebook. Based off the great job that Jenny did, I thought I would try it. August is a busy month for birthdays (including mine) and I thought something cute, simple, personalized, and most important, not terribly expensive, would be a great gift.  I thought to myself, buying something like this will cost you $$$, but DIYing it could be fun and worth and the savings.  So immediately, the Mr. and I drove to the closest H&M to see what wristlet I could find to try this project out on. Unfortunately, I did not see the same pattern as pictured below, but it made me remember this cute little Chevron patterned wristlet I saw on Esty (I’m totally going through a Chevron phase). 

Check out my inspiration picture!

Words cannot express just how much I LOVE this bracelet!!  Since it is a DIY, I wouldn’t even mind changing the color of the yarn to match certain outfits.  I will post pictures once I get my DIY on.

I think this DIY project came out great.  I have a pair of old black Steve Madden pumps, similar to the ones in the picture above that I would be okay if I messed up.  I guess the real question now is what color will I paint the toe?  Hot Pink?  Citron?  Purple?

Have you created DIY Fashion?

What did you make? We LOVE pictures, too!

{She Does Good} How Looking Fab Protects Mothers and Their Children from Harm

Pinned Image

Problem
Every 15 seconds a woman is assaulted in her home, including physical, sexual, and mental abuse from the person closest to her. Not only do the children witness their mothers being attacked by the men in their lives, but 50% of men who abuse women also abuse the children. Many times the lives of these women and children are threatened if they try to leave.

Solution
This week your support will help place an abused mother and her children in a home where they will live safe and independent from their abuser. They will be provided with clothing, food, and counseling to help regain strength and restore their freedom.

{Health & Beauty} How to Save Broken Makeup

This is an awesome and FREE beauty tip from the lovely girls over at The Beauty Department( TBD ) Lauren Conrad, Kristin Ess and Amy Nadine; who if you are not currently following, you should be .  I love The Beauty Department  because they have tons of great tips and tricks. Just the other day, I broke one of my favorite eyeshadow and was looking for a way to save it before having to replace it. Since it was brand new, I didn’t see myself going into my money envelope for yet another shade of purple eyeshadow, so I went on a hunt to find an easy fix… and voila, this is what I found.  This reminds me of when Denia taught us how to save broken lipstick.
