fall wish list!

i absolutely love fall fashion!! i feel like every year my wish-list for the new fall fashion trends gets longer and longer! this year i put together five looks that i absolutely LOVE and then i can narrow down what i need after i see what i want myself to be wearing. that doesn't really make much sense, but i'm going to pretend that you know what i mean;) 

here are the looks: 

wish list: 

- a burgundy pair of jeans (these can literally be paired with anything! i think that if blue jeans were never invented, then these would be what people replaced them with.. at least in the fall time!)

- a nice pair of pearl studs (i've got the fake ones, but i think a real pair would be a nice treat!)

- cheetah print tory burch revas (these are beyond adorable! even though cheetah is "trendy" now, i think that cheetah shoes are a staple piece because they can add an extra touch to a boring outfit and they can be worn as a neutral -- win win.) 

- a cute scarf (i think a cute simple scarf is a must, i have a few scarfs already but they are all teal-ish blue and don't go with anything! i need/want one that i can wear all the time with any outfit)

- heels with the ankle strap (i've been sick again, and so i have been able to watch the today show in the mornings. they recently did a segment on shoe trends and they said that the platform/ankle strap heel combo is going to be HUGE for the fall time) 

- a simple brown belt (i think belts sometimes look a little to manly on me, but i think they can look great when you tuck a shirt into your shorts/pants! i really need to find a cute neutral one that looks good on me!)

-a cute chunky sweater - (these are always in style for the fall/winter time. i bought one last year that i absolutely loved, and still do but i wore it almost every chance i could. i think a dark grey one would be great) 

that's my wish list for the fall time! i can't wait to start checking things off!! 

what's on your wish list for the fall time?

what's your favorite fall trend?

stud muffin

lately i have been lusting over the urban outfitters studded jean shorts. i mean can you spell h-o-t  i-t-e-m?

find these shorts here

 these are the latest and greatest in the world of tumblr, and i have been looking all over for a pair that is reasonably priced. unfortunately i have looked without much luck, so i decided to make my own. i like to think of myself as a crafty person, but i'm really not, so when i saw ARose186's video on how she made her studded shorts i was in heaven!! through Arose186 aka Arden, i found the Etsy store PurpleDolly. PurpleDolly sells amazingly priced studs for diy projects, and i since i couldn't find studs for a better price i decided to go through PurpleDolly! I received my package of studs in less that a week, and as soon as i got them, i got to studding! as promised in yesterday's post, here is my diy..

step one:

gather your supplies! 

all i needed were my jeans, studs, a pair of scissors (you can also you a small kitchen knife), and my computer for music. 

THESE  are the studs i used, but the store has tons of options! also, i didn't even use the whole bag, which included 200 studs
( another diy i think so;) ) 

 the back of the studs have little prongs, so with the scissors you push the prongs down once the studs are placed through the jeans. its pretty self explanatory once you have them in your possession though! 

step two:

choose where you want your studs to be. the first place i put them was on the outside of the front left pocket. my personal style is very minimalistic and classic, so i wanted to stay true to myself when i made these jeans and not go too overboard!

the bottom picture is the finished look of this pocket! 

step three:

choose another pocket that you would like to stud! 

i chose the back left pocket, and decided to cover just the top half. 

the top right picture below, shows what the inside of the shorts look like. 

finished front look:

(i forgot to take pictures, but i also put studs in the right pocket, but i only put them above where the actual pocket starts)

finished back look:

thanks for reading, and if you would like to see more diys let me know!!
