Weekend Favorites:)

Hey guys! Hope your having a fabulous start to your weekend. If you haven't already go check out my video haul, "Haulin It" there is some great goodies in there! So this week my weekend favorite is Free People's blog. If you haven't heard of it, it's a clothing company and I would categorize it as boho chic. All of favorites of this week are from their blog site and some cool DIY's that I would love to try! Keep scrolling to get to all the goodies and neat ideas!

 

 

 

 

 

1. I had never heard of Eco Dyeing until I saw this DIY! I think the idea is so cool and creative. Basically your transferring flower colors or patterns onto fabric using steam. Click here to learn more and don't forget to check out part 2 to see how it turned out.

 

 

 

 

2. This post hit it right on the nail for DIY supplies every crafter needs. Can you spot any familiars in the picture?! Go here to see if you have the goods!

 

 

 

 

3. Instagram is a great way to get pretty, easy, and cool photos of the things you love. This is easy because all you really need is Instagram photos, paint or Photoshop on your computer, and a colored printer, or local CVS or Rite Aid. Click it here to find out the goods!

 

 



 

4. If you watched my blog post "Haulin It" then you know I just found the PERFECT high waisted shorts and am in love with them, although I could have gone without the price, but they were a great investment! So if you don't really want to spend money on some new shorts create your own. It is easy to get creative with this because you choose all the key pieces! Jog on over  here to learn the step-by-step.

 

 

5. Rings are my thing so this DIY had me at the start. All it really is, is chain linked together, and yet it is so simple, elegant, and such a beaute! Click here to get proper directions!

 

 

6. Decorative shorts are really a great way to spice or dress up an outfit. These spiked shorts are as easy to make as 1-2-3! Similar to the fabric shorts you just need old shorts (or new if you prefer) and spikes from your local craft store! Click it here to learn the how-to of this easy DIY.

 

 

  7. I love a good maxi skirt but this one transformed is to live for. The best places to get one at a good price is Goodwill, a thrift or consignment store, or Cotton On. It does require a bit of sewing and cutting but it seems fairly easy and ends up being a cool, creative DIY! Click here to figure out the step-by-step.

 

 

 

 Hope you enjoy the rest of your lovely weekend, get creative, stay inspired, and do new things!

Hope you see something you like and or are inspired!

Staple- The Army Jacket

Staple items have been around for forever! I kind of label all the pieces I wear a lot staple items. If there is a certain list I am definitely not following it. My b-a-d. #sorrynotsorry :). Any who this week's staple item is the army jacket! I had been wanting an army jacket for the longest and finally found one at JcPenny's for $15 dollars, SCORE. I label this a staple item because it can be worn in warm weather, cold weather, and with multiple items. Try mixing it up when you wear your army jacket, take the roll of a soldier, and be in charge!

The Army Jacket by dantidoll featuring t-shirts

Mint Velvet , $76 / Forever 21 sleeveless tank / Jane Norman t shirt, $12 / Bardot army field jacket, $23 / Ksubi skinny jeans, $195 / Reiss / Oasis black legging, $43 / Zara shoes / Riding boots / Madison Harding leather boots / Converse tennis shoes, $80 / Boy London Mens White Boy London Sweatshirt, $83

1. To be comfy and chic at the same time I say pair it with a dress. Horizontal stripes make you appear slimmer. Although I am sure you already look gorg! Keep the comfortable look rolling with a small bootie and a fabulous handbag to match!

2. Jeans are my thing! If jeans are your thing too, pair it with a comfortable jean, riding boots, and a rad graphic tee. This is a great grab & go outfit for when your in a rush or just cruising around town. To add that cool-vibe touch try topping it off with a sun hat & some sunnies.

3. Who can NOT be beyond comfortable in leggings! If you feel good, you look good! Pairing a graphic sweater, leggings, and converse is a great way to contrast an army jacket. It totally vibes cool, tough, and chic. Soften the look up a bit with a bright handbag or cross-body (because cross-bodies are awesome and are my favs)!

4. Dress up your army jacket as well. Tough girls can be beauts too! Pair a neutral color pencil skirt with a matching top and throw your army jacket on top to finish it off. The mix of dressy and casual compliment each other, the skirt and midi heel dress it up, while the crop top and army jacket level it out! 

Now go off and work your army jacket like no tomorrow!

1. Chalkboard paint can be so much fun and creative. I have worked with it before and it's really easy to use and apply. This idea of "where you've been and where you want to go" is so ambitious and cool that it makes me want to go everywhere!This is super easy and very appealing to they eye. To figure how to make this awesome art travel over to A Single Frame!

2. This is not only a great storage idea but also a great option for accessorizing. It's mostly made up of wood and leather, so you probably couldn't put as much weight on it as a regular shelf but it's cute, easy, and functional! To make one of these puppies for yourself trot over to Camille Styles!

3. Before I saw this I didn't even know there was such thing as mod podge melts! It seems super cool, fun, and I want some NOW! This does require a few mod podge accessories and a little bit of sewing but the end result definitely makes it worth it! Visit FabricPaperGlue to learn how to make this gorg clutch!

6. When you want to see a great photo Instagram is one of the places you will find one. Now they have apps where you can print them and have them to keep FOREVER!

5. Slowly but surely I am kind-of rearranging my room and this automatically made me want to hang this on my wall.

7. I was and still am a lunch box kid! I don't carry it everyday, but some days you just need a banging lunch and that's where this AMAZING bag comes in. I wanna snatch this right out of the screen! This is a final addition to my bucket list. To make this gorg bag because you fell so in love with it like me go to Born In '82!

Hope you got Inspired, & there was something for you to desire!

"I Work Out"

Many say it is hard to stay fit and eat healthy- and there right! I have been trying both of these for a good while now and it is no easy task. I actually would really love a chocolate cake right about now, and cookies, oh and ice cream! Anyways don't want to get to carried away! Personally I think all individuals should find what works best for them. For example if your not much of a runner try cycling or zumba. Zumba is AMAZING and really fun. Also, if your already into working out or planning on it, what is your go to active wear? Mine is definitely shorts, sports bra, and running shoes of course. I also love the wide legged workout pants, their to comfortable. Jackets can also be good for working out if you work out outside, if you get cold easily like me, and or if you wanna sweat more. Whatever your new natural may be, let it be about you, and most importantly right for you! 

Best places to get Active Wear:

* Shorts & Pants- Old Navy & Target

*Sports Bras- Jcpenny's & Walmart

*Sneakers- Shoe Carnival & Nike

*Jackets- Walmart &  Old Navy

Everything Apparel: VS

Hope you got inspired or stayed inspired! Happy new natural!
