Coachella dreamin'

dress & vest: Forever21, booties: Steve Madden, Flower Crown: DIY (tutorial below)

This monday was my first day back to reality after the much anticipated Coachella and my mini vacation! I made this floral crown for myself and some girlfriends for Coachella and after being back, I couldn't fully let go of the Coachella-vibe and decided to wear it for this outfit. In addition to my floral crown, I've also been looking at youtube videos and photos from Coachella, can't believe it's all over and I'm already looking forward to next year!!

I used this tutorial as a reference to make the crowns, it took some time but it turned out better than I thought: FLORAL CROWN TUTORIAL

Grab your bffs, some wine, and make it a fun girls night in! Enjoy!

love, C

ps. I know J's last post was referred to "there's not place like home" but I just wanted her to know that "home is not the same without HER." It's been a couple months now and with some soon to be changes going on in my life recently, I really miss her!! Sometimes things just don't feel right without your bff to share it with, it's okay though-- we scheduled a phone date tonight and it's much needed!

Buylove, Inspired: Flower Power Floral!

Floral, Floral, Floral- I'm in love with floral. I've BEEN loving floral since the year started and I'm really not sure what triggered it. It's such a fun pattern to play with because there are so many different types of floral design and it's exploding everywhere- I'm seeing them on pants, tops, purses, shoes, and accessories, there's so many options! I'm still on the search for some floral pants though, all the ones I liked have been sold out of my size so sadly I still don't own a pair.

We've been going through some major heat waves lately and the floral patterns are perfect for summer- they add style to any outfit and flowers in general are just sweet to look at!

DIY FRIDAY: Flower Crowns!

We can't believe it's COACHELLA next week (already?! and yes, we are both going!). We thought it would be fun to surprise some of our close girlfriends who are going with us with flower crowns so we can match and feel young again next weekend :) In preparation for the much anticipated coachella, we decided to do a DIY this friday for flower crowns.

Our inspiration for this is from The Beauty Department- they have so many cute ideas on this site that you can easily make in the comfort of your own home. As you can see however, we tweaked the idea around a little for it to work for us. For our DIY all you need is some yarn, fake flowers (roses, daisies, be etc!), thread/needle or hot glue gun. Use the braided yarn as a foundation to stick each flower stem through and all you have to do is hot glue or sew the stems down on the other side. Follow each step of the photos above and you can easily create the perfect, ever-lasting flower crown.

We are excited for next weekend, maybe we will see some of you there!
