diy halloween costumes / pt 1
halloween costumes already?! YES! i love halloween! i hate slutty versions of costumes, but i looove a female version of a male costume. i don’t know why – gender issues, etc.
and i love a good movie costume. one year i went as brooke shields in the blue lagoon (i even made my own dress) and had to explain all night who i was. so these costumes are a little more recognizable. i’m going to be posting a few new costumes every week until halloween – so make sure to come back and see!

hawaiian shirt / tank / belt / red harem pants / bird / hair pomade / boots

D A R I A & J A N E

diy pretty shampoo bottles
probably my simplest DIY to date — is anyone else like me and only buys products based on the packaging? well that’s a hard way to get by when you’re cheap and buy your bath products at cvs. so i decided to make refillable bottles for my stuff that i like to look at.
i bet you can guess the steps …
all you need is pretty bottles, tape, and vinyl stickers. i bought these amber bottles super cheap from speciality bottle, and the stickers are 1/4″ inch helvetica. they have to be vinyl in order to be waterproof!
tape a straight line across your bottle (it’s kind of hard to eyeball but you’ll get it on your 10th try). and then just stick away! i was able to glide any letters that looked off or if the kerning wasn’t perfect – and i think i was able to make them all match pretty well.
then you just fill up the bottles with your stuff. that’s the boring part.
and now my shower looks prettyyyy!
would you bother doing a DIY like this or am i a crazy person?

freeloader // 1
with the new iOS update that i keep talking about for some reason – my background photo of my cats wrestling looked terrible. i’ve learned that the only background that look good on it now are very light colored or very dark colored. so i made myself (and you guys) one.
i made sure to match the darkest plus signs to the camera icon – you know, so we could all sleep at night. enjoy!
