Tumblr-Inspired Spring Room Decor 2015

Hi guys! I’m really sorry I couldn’t post yesterday. I was busy the whole day working on yesterday’s post so I didn’t have enough time to get it done. So here it is today! I’m going to show you 3 spring DIYs for your room. Here they are!

Doily Canvas Art

What you will need: 

• 5 or 6 doilies of various sizes and shapes (around $2 each at Joanns)
• A medium sized canvas 
•  Matte spray paint (color of your choice) 

Step 1:

Lay your canvas down on a flat surface (I would suggest doing this outside because of the spray paint)

Step 2: Lay the doilies out in the way you would like, and make sure they are laying flat on the canvas. 

Step 3: Spray your paint over the canvas and doilies. Make sure the paint is opaque. 

Step 4: Let the paint dry a bit. This will take about 5 minutes. 

Step 5: Carefully take off the doilies. This should leave a cool pattern from the doilies. Then lay your canvas somewhere safe to dry overnight. 

The finished product: 

   

  

   

I love how this project doesn’t have all clean lines. This gives it a cool, sort of watercolor effect. This project has a edgy and girly look to it that is really unique looking. This looks super cute on my walls in my room, and I hope you will try it out too. 

Floral Monogram Wall Letter

What you will need: 

• A cardboard or wooden letter (I used a marquee letter kit from Michaels, for $12)
• A metallic/pearlescent paint (optional)
• Painting sponge
• A paper plate or coffee filter to put your paint in
• Paper
• Colored pencils
• Hot glue/super glue
• Artificial flowers

Step 1: Take your paint and squeeze it out onto your coffe filter or plate. 

Step 2: Paint your letter with the painting sponge. Make sure to paint the inside of it so none of the letter shows through the flowers. 

Step 3: While the paint dries,  take your paper and colored pencils and draw the letter, and plan out where you want the flowers to go. Draw them on the paper. 

Step 4: After the paint has dried, put your flowers in the letter one by one and glue them in according to your draw out plan. 

Step 5: Let your letter dry overnight. 

Finished product: 

   

 

Magazine Cutout Diamond

What you will need:

• Various magazines
• Thick sketching paper
• A medium sized canvas 
• Spray glue
• Scissors

Step 1: Take your sketch paper and cut the corner off at the size you would like to create a stencil. 

Step 2: Take your stencil and cut along it on various patterns you like out do your magazines. You will need 14 triangles. 

Step 3: Lay your triangles out in a diamond shape. (Reference the picture below if you can’t figure how to do it) 

Step 4: Make sure your triangles are equally close together, and glue them down one by one. 

Step 5: Stand a few feet away from the canvas and spray glue over top of it so the magazine doesn’t peel. 

Step 6: Let it dry overnight. 

Finished product: 

   

 

Those were all of my DIYs! I hope you guys try them out, and see you next time! 

Spring Nail Art: Pastel Water Marble

Hey guys! I’m super happy because over the weekend, I have reached over 50 followers and that is half of my goal of 100 followers by October. Thank you guys for all of your support, and I would really appreciate it if you would give word out to your friends or other blogs that you think would like me to help me to reach my goal. 

With that aside, today I wanted to do a nail art post because I’ve only done one of these before, but I got such positive feedback so I wanted to show you guys something different this time. I am showing you how to do water-marbling on your nails. I used pastel colors to go along with springtime, but of course you can use whatever colors you would like. Let’s hop right into this!

What you will need: 

• A small bowl that you don’t mind getting nail polish in ( I cut the top off a a plastic cup but I would not recommend doing this if you are doing this for a long time because the nail polish will eat away at the plastic)
• 5 or more nail polish colors
• A toothpick
• 15-20 q-tips
• Chapstick (optional) or nail polish remover

Step 1:

Fill your bowl up with water to a point where you can dip your finger (upside-down) in easily and keep it flat

Step 2: (optional)

If you have Chapstick, cover the skin around your fingernails up to the middle of each finger. This just makes the removal of excess nail polish much easier. 

Step 3:

Pour your nail plush colors on the water in the order you would like, pouring smaller and smaller circles in the middle of the others. 

  

Pink: Sally Hansen Triple Shine in Pixie Slicks

Yellow: Sally Hansen Triple Shine in Lemon Shark

Blue: Color Club in Factory Girl

Green: Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant in Salt Water Taffy

Purple: Elf in Lilac

Step 4: 

Apply a base coat to your nails if you would like. 

Step 5:

Take your toothpick and carefully make designs in the nail polish. Don’t mix it too much, or the designs won’t be visible on your nails. 

  

Step 5: Dip your nails into the designs by placing your finger in upside-down and pull it out. 

Step 6: Take some q-tips and remove the excess nail polish. You will need nail polish remover for this step if you did not have the Chapstick. 

Step 7: Apply a topcoat to your nails if you would like. 

 

(Yes, I know there is still nail polish around my nails but it took forever to dry and to get off so I didn’t have time to take a picture of the final look)

And you are done! This is pretty easy, and looks so cool when it’s done. However, it is time consuming, but it’s great if you have a lot of free time or you get bored and don’t know what to do. I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time!

Hey guys! Since yesterday was the first day of spring, I wanted to show you some spring outfits. Hopefully you’ll get some inspiration from me. Let’s hop right into this post! 

Outfit 1:

   

   

 I think this is a cute, whimsical, bright outfit that would be perfect for going out with friends. This outfit is great for many things, just don’t wear it if you’re going to sweat because it will ruin the white shirt. 

White watermelon button-down shirt: Delia*s, $20

Aqua skinny jeggings: Charlotte Russe, $25

Brown Leopard Cole Haan Sandals: From a friend 

Outfit 2:

   

 

This is a more feminine outfit, with sort of an edge to it. I think this one is super pretty and simple, and I bet I will wear it all the time this spring.

This is probably the most girly outfit out of all of these. I think this is a nice, charming and dainty outfit that would look great on someone when they are going shopping.

Floral strappy cross-back crop top: Pacsun, $15

Pink paisley skater skirt: Aeropostale, on sale for $6

Pink and black platform flip-flops: same as above outfit^

Outfit 4:

Spring Haul 2015! Pacsun, Kohls and more

Hey guys! I’ve been waiting a while and collecting clothes for this post and I finally bought enough and I can’t wait to show you! I love doing hauls and showing you guys what I got. So let’s get right into it! 

Kohls:



Black Tropical Lace Bralette- $20

I love the pattern on this! I think that it would be super adorable to wear under low-cut tops or tops with large armholes. 



Cream and blue sheer sunflower tank- $13

I love the colors of this, plus the sunflower pattern. It has a nice vintage feel that I really like. 



Blue tie-dye high-necked crop top- $12 on sale, originally $40

I love the colors and the tie-dye look of this. I’m also obsessed with crop tops and I think this would look great with light-wash high-waisted shorts in spring or in the summer. 



Black floral and pink reversible racerback cami- $8 on sale, originally $38

I absolutely love how this is reversible! I love both sides of this, and since it’s reversible, it’s more versatile for me which makes it more worth buying. 



Black mesh paneled leather skirt dress- $17.40 on sale, originally $58 This dress came out last fall, and I was in love with it but it was way too expensive. Then I saw it when I was shopping and it was on clearance so I knew I had to get it. 

Target:



Light-wash ripped straight-leg jeans- $20

I have been wearing the heck out of these the past few weeks! These are my favorite pair of jeans for the springtime and they match a lot of things! I would definitely recommend these to someone who is looking for good quality ripped jeans.  



Black floral sheer lace crochet top- $18

I love how boho this looks! This type of style is really trendy this spring and summer. I like to pair this with the ripped jeans shown above for an edgy twist. 



Camo pocket tee- $13

I got this because for some reason, I feel like I need something camo in my closet; I don’t really know why. I also needed more simple tees so I figured this one is great. 



Racerback gray insect cami- $10

I don’t really know why I got this. The insects are kind of cute and this was cheap so I just bought it. It would also make a good workout shirt. 



Black strappy-back bikini top- $15

Target always has amazing swimwear, and when I saw this top it was live at first sight. The straps give it a nice, unique look and black is so easy to pair different bottoms with. Plus, this fit me perfectly so I knew I had to get it. 

Pacsun: 



White floral cross strap back crop top- $12

I perused the buy one, get two free rack in Pacsun again and it was definitely not a mistake! (The next two items were free because of this rack.) I found this beautiful crop top, with a cute criss-cross strappy back that I love. 



Black and white daisy print scoop neck crop top- free 

The neckline on this crop top is sort of low, but the pattern on this is super cute and I love it. 



Peach drop-waist sheer tank top- free

I love the color of this, and the drop-waist detailing was a nice girly touch. I will wear this all the time this spring. 

Vans:



Purple and orange Galaxy unisex vans- $50

This is my big splurge, but I love Galaxy stuff and vans. Galaxy is very in style right now. I get lots of compliments on these (most of them are from guys!). These are super cool tennis shoes that I think everyone should have. 

That’s all for this haul! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see y’all next time!
