Girl's Night Out Faves

Here are a few of my favorite outfits to wear during a gno! By the way, I won't be able to post next week because I will be having standerized testing that day and I need to get plenty of sleep! Sorry everyone, but I will be back on schedule the following week! Ok I'm just going to jump right in!

Love this jewelry!

Fedoras are always cute for night and day!

I have been loving cross body bags lately!

Comfortable shoes are key when you're going to be walking around a lot.

Low to high skirts and dresses are very in for the spring and summer!

I love this skirt because it has pockets!

A pair of jean shorts is perfect for a casual walk around town! 

If you get cold, you can wear an over sized cardigan like I am here.

You could also pair this dress with a leather jacket!

Jean vests are super in for Spring and so are brightly colored scarves!

I got this cross body bag for Easter and I love it because it has a bohemian kind of vibe.

Too bad they don't have my size:(  Otherwise these would be perfect!;)

That's it for this week! Make sure you comment below on what your favorite essential was or what are some of your favorite accessories for Spring! See you all in 2 weeks! Check out my new Facebook account @Rylee Smiley !

DIY Message Easter Eggs!

IDHi everyone! Here is this week's DIY! Happy Easter! I found this on one of Bethany Mota's videos and I just had to try it! I hope you enjoy this DIY as much as I have! Ok, let's get started!

Supplies:

Raw eggs

Scissors

Straws

Push pin

Pen

Paper

Bowl

Egg dying kit

Put a hole into the top and the bottom of the egg with the push pin.

Use your straw to push out all of the yolk into the bowl.

Rinse your egg out with water.

Dry off your egg.

You can dye your eggs at this point. I just didn't have a dye kit when I did the project.

While your eggs are drying, take your pen and paper and write some short and sweet messages and cut them out.

Roll up your message as tightly as you can.

Put the message Into the hole at the top of your egg.

I decorated my egg with markers instead of dying them.

And that's it! Now you can put your eggs into a cute basket to give to friends and family! I added some Eos lip balms since they are shaped like eggs and a travel size lotion from bath and body works.

Now you can crack open your egg to reveal a special message!

DIY Chevron Striped Journal

Hi everyone! Today I am doing a DIY project using a recycled journal I found in my attic! I love reusing things and making them into brand new works of art! This project was very easy with a top secret crafting item: Masking Tape! I hope you enjoy and please let me know in the comments below what you think! (You can also email me your comment) This kept me occupied for a whole session of conference! Ok! Let's get started! 

Supplies:

Composition Book or old Journal

Acrylic Paints in the colors you would like your journal to be

Masking Tape

White Acrylic Paint or Primer if needed

Sponge Brush

Ruler

Brush on glitter or glitter paint if desired

Paper plate

Paper towel

Cotton balls 

Rubbing alchohol

Q-tips

Nail polish remover 

Water

Lots of supplies but worth it! ;)

My journal was 7 in by 9 1/2 in so I split the 7 in in the middle and used this as a guide when I placed my tape. You can use a pencil to lightly draw a straight line down the middle of your notebook and you can wipe it of with rubbing alchohol at the end.

Now you can start placing your tape using your ruler as a guide.

This is what you should end up with!

I had to do 3-4 cotes of paint because my journal was black, but hopefully it won't take you that long.

Now remove any excess paint with nail polish remover and Q-tips if needed.

Now let your journal dry over night and your done! You can put a cote of Modge Podge on your journal if you think you need it. And you're done!:)

This journal is great for just about anything! Whether you use it as a daily journal or take notes at school or work!

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial! Please make sure you comment below or email my blog email what you think! Stay Pink and Green and I'll see you next Monday!

XOXO,
