DIY to TRY || Award Show Night

02.28.14

I’m usually not big on award shows (minus the fashion) with the exception of the Academy Awards. This year I vowed to watch all the best picture nominations before the show. Seeing as how the Oscars are this Sunday, and I have 4 more movies to watch, my weekend will be filled with movie watching and popcorn popping. Though I’ll be watching the show from the comfort of my couch and pajamas, I thought I’d share some fun award show night DIYs for those Oscar bashes!

P.S. So EXCITED about Ellen hosting. Here’s my favorite clip of her monologue from when she hosted in 2008!

Happy Weekend Makers!

DIY Veiled Beanie

02.27.14

A few weeks ago I wrote this post about veiled beanies. I didn’t think I’d get the chance to make my own before winter ended. However, the season does not seem to want to go away. After a light snowfall earlier this week, I decided I would still have plenty of time to wear my beanies. This DIY version of the trend will be the perfect addition to my collection! Having the chance to wear it is the only reason I hope winter sticks around…if just for a little longer.

DIY Alphabet Bracelet

I’m back at blogging and I couldn’t be more excited! Between moving back home from Chicago and starting a new job, I haven’t had as much time for DIYing as I would like. There are so many projects I’ve been meaning to get to, including these Alphabet Bracelets you might remember from this post. Coming up with phrases was probably the best part!

DIY INSPO || Veiled Beanie

01.07.14

I’m not gonna lie…today’s post inspiration comes from Miley Cyrus’ We Can’t Stop music video where she dons the ever popular veiled beanie. Miley aside, I love this look. It’s a new chic way to sport a plain beanie during the day without feeling like Rocky Balboa. With some netting and thread, it will be super simple to recreate the veiled beanie look on your own. You can also find similar styles of the veil beanie here and here.

It’s a New Year!

12.31.13

I can’t believe 2013 is coming to a close! I feel as though my life has made a complete 180 since this time last year. I was so busy earlier this October that I completely missed the blog’s One Year Anniversary! WDYMM has become more than I ever thought it would. I can’t wait to get back to blogging and see where this year takes me!

I’ve complied 13 of some of my favorite and most popular posts from 2013. I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane as much as I did!
