Summer To Do List

Queen Bee — Sun, 16 May 2010 04:36:15 +0000

I can’t just sit and do nothing, can you? If you’re a busybody like me, check out the diy kits on Etsy. I’ve ordered a few and always enjoyed them. Here are some I recommend:

Resin Pendant Kit

From anniehowes.etsy.com

These are fun. You can make necklaces to match all your outfits! I’ve also made a few Scrabble tile necklaces as gifts and they are always a hit. Here is one I made.

Clutch Kit

I’ve never tried this kit, but I have “make a clutch” on my to do list so I’m definitely considering it.

What plans do you have this summer?

In Your Easter Best

Queen Bee — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 04:32:06 +0000

I don’t do anything for Easter besides open up the basket my mom sends me. But that is no reason not to wear my Sunday best! Here are some adorable springtime looks from Mod Cloth:

What are you doing for Easter this year?

Kiss Me, I’m Irish

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, it’s time to get together your green outfit to avoid a day of pinches from your friends and family. Though the graphic tees with messages of beer and inebriation are quite popular, I prefer the classier route. Isn’t this top so much cuter?

From forever21.com

I’ve been eyeing this green coat for a while now and maybe St. Pattys Day is the perfect excuse to finally get it!

Or just cheat by with a green accessory like this purse.

Or this peacock necklace.

Foxy Prom Necklaces

Queen Bee — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:05:39 +0000

Brittany & Cooper carries a prom necklace line by Foxy Originals that is just adorable!

From brittanyandcooper.com

What I really like about Foxy Originals is the variety of styles they make. You’ve got the leaves for the hippie chicks, the fleur de lis for the boho girls, and the abstract orb for the classy ladies. I may be a little bit of all three, but the fleur de lis in bronze is definitely my favorite!

You can find even more styles and colors on the Brittany & Cooper website.

Which necklace is your favorite?

How I’d Do Prep

Queen Bee — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:08:55 +0000

I’m not into preppy. It’s fine on other people, but straight up prep is just not me. I can do preppy-chic or preppy-punk though. What do you think of this outfit I put together from Miss Selfridge?

Jacket, shoes, dress, and necklace from Miss Selfridge, purse from Amber Pollard.

DIY Disaster

Queen Bee — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:37:19 +0000

This just hasn’t been my week. First I got a terrible lopsided haircut from one of those discount salons, and now I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this diy project! I learned about stamping from my blogger buddy Lindsay over at Shrimp Salad Circus and my attempts have been pitiful. Here is what stamping is supposed to look like:

From emilinaballerina.etsy.com

Gorgeous, I know. You use metal stamps of letters, numbers, or designed and hammer them onto a pendant. For Christmas I received all the equipment (which is very affordable on Etsy, by the way): stamps, disks, and a metal block.

I made my first attempt at a fleur de lis and here’s what I ended up with:

First try, no big deal, I told myself. I’ll just try it again. Here’s attempt #2.

Ugh!

And attempt #3.

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

Advertorial: Prom Necklaces from Brittany & Cooper

Queen Bee — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:50:46 +0000

Brittany & Cooper has an adorable selection of prom necklaces and best of all, they are totally affordable for broke students like you and me!

From brittanyandcooper.com

This necklace is only $25.00 and its funky, yet simplistic look makes it perfect for busy prom dresses like printed and patterned gowns. Plus, it is something you could wear with other outfits in your wardrobe like girly tanks and summer dresses, making this purchase a good wardrobe investment.

Faced with that argument, how can you NOT buy some of Brittany & Cooper’s prom jewelry?

Check out their site and let me know which necklace is your favorite!

Apparently, Tom Binns Design is creating a line of jewelry for the new Alice in Wonderland movie. If you’ve never seen his collections, they are absolutely outrageous and gorgeous. We have to wait until Spring 2010 to see this new line, but here are some pieces from his past collections.

I would just die for those pearl necklaces! Which is your favorite piece?
