30x30 Challenge: Week 4

New outfits yay!  I'm linking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk  again.  So I went over to my BFFL's, Christine, apartment last week and asked if we could have a photo shoot so I could get pictures of my outfits.  Her wonderful boyfriend, Adam, agreed to take the picture so here's my shout out to him.  Thanks Adam!  I also had to change some of my items.  One shirt apparently shrank because when I put it on it was a half shirt!  Totally not attractive haha!  I also turned out to be allergic to one of my necklace so I replace it with the necklace in the first picture.  Next week I'll have the shirt I switched out.

It's that time again!  Friday!  My favorite day of the week, of course!  Today is extra special because I'm on my way to Raleigh to see my little brother graduate from NC State.  I am such a proud sister.  He's pretty much a genius!  I'm also excited because I got 2 new dresses to wear to his graduations.  Yes I thought I need 2 dresses.  One graduation is in the morning (at 8:30AM really?!) and then a departmental graduation in the evening. I think that totally justifies having two dresses.  So now it's time for my High Five for Friday!
1.  I finally finished one of my many pinterest crafts!  A polka dotted tiered planters.  

2.  I got a new camera this week, because I wanted to have a small on I could fit in my purse.  I love my nikon, but sometimes it's a bit too big.  My new camera has all sorts of fun functions.  My favorite is already the one where it only picks up a certain color.  Yay yellow!

3.  I got a new comforter for my bed at Target.  I had seen it several times and I couldn't resist it!  I need to go back and get the matching shams too.

4.  My new crafting project.  DIY screen printing.  I'm really excited about this.  

5.  I found some shoes I pinned on pinterest a few weeks ago on sale for 10 dollars.  How lucky did I get that they are my size!  I believe I was meant to have these shoes!  Okay maybe they aren't so practical, but they were only 10 dollars! 

Happy Friday to yall!  

Top Ten

Here's my favorites from this week on pinterest!

I thought this was too funny!  I also searched Peeta on pinterest ( clearly I had too much time on my hands at that point) and I laughed and laughed, but I felt like I shouldn't repin all those things they were kind of silly.  I would judge myself.

This is so true!  As I sit here at UNCC with my boat shoes on since I'm in lab, I'm very sure life is better in flip flops.

I need new shoes like I need a giant hole drilled in my head, but man these are so cute!

I am dying to do this!  I think this could be the cutest thing I've seen!  I can't wait to do it.  I'll share it when I do.

I would love to be able to do my nails like this.  I think it's much harder than it looks to use tape to make these designs.  Also it takes multiple days if you follow what they say I don't have that kind of patience! But I love these nails!

I love anything monogrammed!  Especially this belt!  The sweater is pretty too!

How amazing is this room!  I think it's perfect!

Since using tape to make designs doesn't seem to be the thing for me.  I might try making stickers.  This is really cool too!

Something to think about when I'm about to waste time on the internet not doing anything productive.  These are great ideas.  

Sunglasses

Today was perfect weather. I did some crafting outside. Here's part of my wreath and my sunglasses.

Red

I have some red lipstick but I'm terrified of actually wearing it. But since today was red for the March photo a day I put it in :). I couldn't find any good lighting to take the picture, oh well.  If I do ever decide to make it out of the house with my red lips I won't be wearing teal eye shadow to go with it.

Making my plain shoes fabulous!

I love glitter!  That might be an understatement!  I am drawn to anything that glitters.  I just love glitter.  I can't help it!  I think almost everything can be improved if you add glitter.  My other love in life is shoes!  I have a vast collection!  So what could be better than shoes and glitter?  Shoes that glitter.  Alright I do have a pair of gold glittery shoes for Target that are amazing, but I've never made glittery shoes and the bottoms of the shoes aren't glittery.  That's what I set out to do last Friday afternoon.  I originally saw some shoes like this on pinterest (pinterest is quickly becoming one of my fav things right up there with shoes and glitter!).  I had the perfect pair of plain black shoes in my closet that were just begging for some extra attention so I decided to make the bottoms of them glittery that way anytime I walk somewhere I'll leave a trail of glitter.  Here's a before picture.

I had the most purple glitter so that's what I went with.  It wasn't my first choice but I didn't have enough hot pink for both shoes.  One pink shoes one purple shoe might have been a little odd even for me! 

Here's the back of my shoes.  

So here's how I did it:

1.  Mix the glitter with mod podge.  About 1/4 c mod podge and I just mixed the glitter in until I thought there was enough glitter.  

2.  Paint the soles of the shoes.  It will look a little bit white but the mod podge dries clear so no worries!

3.  Pour some loose glitter over the still wet mod podge and kind of tap it into the soles.  

4.  Let the shoes dry.  

5.  Put one more coat of mod podge over the shoes to make sure to set the glitter.   

6.  Let dry.  

7.  Wear and be awesome! 

In progress when I poured the loose glitter over the shoes. 

This is after I put the final coat of mod podge.  

Not a great picture but here's the final product!  I'm in love!
