Ha! I Made It- Easy DIY Jewelry Holder

/ / 16 Comments
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

I heard over the summer anthropologie was going to start carrying fair trade jewelry line the bluma project. I totally fell in love with the bluma project’s really colorful and urban design over the summer so I decided to pop in and see if anthropologie was still carrying any goodies from this ethical brand. AND THEY WERE!!! I scored this gorgeous neon beaded necklace :D. (blazer-h&m; tee and shorts- thrifted via goodwill; shoes thrifted via buffalo exchange) I LOVE IT!… View Post

I read about Imani on The Compassion Fashion Project. (click on any image to buy) The Zion Project is an organization that aims to heal and empower war-effected women and girls in Africa; Imani is their store. I completely fell in love with all the bright colors in so many of their necklaces.   These women are paid fair trade wages and many of the necklaces use recycled paper, sorted by color and then meticulously made into beads. So theses… View Post

Svpply is a site that provides a way to kind of curate the things you want to buy later and you can follow people who suit your taste to see what they want to buy AND you can filter by price/gender/home/accessories/apparel. These are… View Post

I love  The Budget Babe.  They have wonderful fashion finds for a lady on a budget so it kind of feels like you’re in on a great secret.

I got it right today (smile), but there are definitely days when I pick the bargain version and am shocked! Below is The Budget Babe’s look-a-like challenge today. One pair… View Post

I want my bit about jewelry from yesterday to have it’s own post. I  really want to encourage wearing things that are meaningful to you  because it really does brighten my day.

The Cartier watch was a college graduation gift… View Post
