Halloween is approaching...

This year, Halloween snuck up extra fast. I hadn't planned on dressing up this year (even though Halloween is one of my favorite holidays), until I thought of the perfect costume. After having browsed the Internet for creative ideas, I've decided to be a dia de los muertos girl. One of my favorite parts about this costume is that it incorporates a vintage pinup look with the morbid—what could be better for Halloween? I've attached the picture that inspired me (I really like her hair and maroon eye shadow) and also the flower I made for my costume. The flower is made of silk flower petals, that have a rustic, decayed look. I also added a bit of black netting. Let me know what you think!

A fun DIY Project!

I spotted this fun project while scanning Pinterest. I haven't tried the project yet but thought it was very cute. Let me know if you have any luck.

Back from my hiatus

Don't you hate it when you start reading a blog and all of a sudden the author decides to disappear for a while and not contribute!? I know I do. So I apologize to my mystery blog friends who have been disappointed with my lack of posts.

Here are a few pictures of my latest creation. This flower is for a friend's October wedding. Although it turned out a little larger than I was anticipating, I think it is beautiful and is actually the perfect size.
