I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I’m a little obsessed with gold right now. It is a trend that was spotted on many a Spring 2012 runway and I was definitely inspired by it.

So at my old job I had a lot of access to DVD spindles. We went through many while I was there and it was kind of frustrating that we couldn’t reuse all of them, so I took one home and started to brainstorm. (spindle image source) This DIY is super simple! And honestly the spindle made a great jewelry holder without the additions I made. But I got super annoyed by the clanking of the plastic when I laid… View Post

Hi hi friends! I have not done an outfit post in quite a while, mostly because during the holidays all I’m thinking of is giving special gifts so my posts and mind have really been in the giving mode.
