DIY: Dainty Wire Rings

I love dainty rings that wrap around the entire fingers and knuckles and go with just about anything! That's why I decided to take a trip to my local crafts store and pick up the tools I needed to stock up my ring collection. Keep on reading to find out how to make your own dainty wire rings.
Your going to want to start by picking up a pair of wire cutters, a nail polish bottle the same size as your finger, and wire, preferably 20 gauge wire. 
You can start by wrapping the wire in cool designs and using the wire cutter to cut off the excessive amount of wire from around your finger.
You can also begin by "measuring" out the amount of wire you need around the nail polish bottle and cutting it about a centimeter out from where the wire ends touch each other.
My favorite part is actually creating loops and words which is done by using your fingers or the wire cutter's pointy ends and moving the wire until it forms the shape you desire.

Love Her Style: Katy Perry Print Obsession

Katy Perry has always caught my eye from her catchy music, crazy hair color, and of course her quirky style. Lately I have been noticing Katy wearing lots of crazy prints that look super cute and wearable for everyday. Below are my top three favorite print-tastic looks from Katy and why I love them.
Who would think a skirt with man with mustaches could be so chic? The silhouette of this outfit is just so cute and perfect for spring and summer days. The print is so unique and fashionable which creates interest in the look. The visual interest in this look is what draws me in because it goes above and beyond everyday cheetah and zebra prints while still being wearable for everyday. I am also loving Katy's long flowing hair, gorgeous!

The print does so much for this chic a-line dress. This dress is perfect for a formal occasion, especially if you still want to look young, current, and fun. The lace sleeves help the dress to be a little more conservative while still showing a tad bit of skin while the blue sheer flowers add a girly cuteness to the look. Katy's shade add a fun factor to the look while her shoes go great with the grey/white under part of her dress.
This look is great for music festivals and causal weekends in the spring. I love her use of texture and pattern in this look as well as her vintage booties paired with peekaboo socks. The top is very boho with the flowiness and small flowers while the crotchet skirt gives off more of a vintage boho vibe. The belt makes sure that Katy's waist is not lost in the look while her side braid keeps the look simple and the hat adds a fashion edge and sun protection to the look.

Trend 101: All Black at the White Shows

All Black at the White Shows
Spring 2013 is all about stand out prints and colors which is why black and white outfit combos are becoming a major trend. The color contrast between white and black is major and can be seen in so many different styles, prints, and pieces that it's almost impossible not to fall in love with the trend. My favorite way of rocking this trend is through stripes or a graphic tee. Black and white stripes can look very feminine and classy, but still be turned edgy and chic in seconds while a graphic tee will always keep you comfty and casual. Not only that, but a black and white outfit combo is perfect to pair with bold colored accesories, purse, and shoes! So many options are included with this trend which makes it a must to try out.

DIY Nails: Bright and Fun Colorblock

I decided to enter the Sally Hansen nail design competition and the theme for this month's nails was colorblock! I decided to make my colorblock original by using three of my favorite colors paired with a strong white to break them up. You can even vote for my nail design on SallyHansen.com and you will see "lyndseycamille" by my design. If you would like to recreate my nail design, all you need is three bright contrasting colors, a white nail striper, and a clear top and base coat.

Love the Look: So Denim, So Cool

Gwen Stefani
I am in love with this cool denim look Gwen Stefani is rocking. I have always adored Gwen Stefani's cool girl street style, but I especially love how she styled this denim jumpsuit. At first thought, a denim jumpsuit makes me think of a lumberjack, but when I saw Gwen pair it with fresh seakers, funky sunglasses, and a bright lipstick, I fell in love! Not only was it her make-up and beauty that made me fall, but also her quirky topknot. All over denim is a major trend for spring, but it requires lots of fun accessories to make it your own. Don't forget to bring a cute kid along for awe factor!

Trend Alert: Love of the Crop Top

Crop tops have made their way back from the 90's and are going to be a hit in the summer time! At first I felt that crop tops were just a little too revealing, but now I've learned the many different ways of styling the crop top to make it look perfect for you. Below are some of my favorite crop top looks and why they caught my eye.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba is always a fashion fave because of her subtle chicness. I love the sleek sophistication to this look and the peep of skin helps to make this look more interesting instead an ordinary all black ensemble.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens has the boho look down pat which means crop tops are a necessity in her closet. What I love about her crop top look is the pretty feminine feel it gives along with the lace. Since it's a crop top you don't have to worry about the lace becoming too "old lady" or childish which is absolutely perfect.

Miley Cyrus
Summertime is all about fun patterns and bright colors which is why I'm really digging Miley's fitted crop top. It really shows off her figure and can be worn for a casual day out with anything from high waisted shorts, a skirt, to skinny jeans. You can also pair a fitted and patterned crop with so many looks from edgy to girly with the right accessories which makes it very versatile.
Selena Gomez
Lastly, Selena Gomez is on my list because I absolutely love this fun. girly look. A bustier crop top can instantly become racy if not paired correctly, but with this high waisted, a line skirt all you can get is girliness. Plus Selena's simple waves and Barbie pink heels keep the look very appropriate.

Hair Obsession: AnnaSophia Robb

AnaSophia Robb
AnnaSophia Robb
I am obsessed with AnnaSophia Robb's blunt bob hair cut. The cut has such edgy and chicness to it while still being able to transform into so many looks. AnnaSophia's bob is a little bit longer than a traditional blog which makes it easier to curl, wave,clip, and even pull up into a small bun. The versatility of her hair makes me obsess over it and even have a moment of wanting to cut my hair to match the look.
