Hellloooooo!
So today we are going to go to make these necklaces! I hope you're ready because I am!

Supplies:
- Glass bottle pendants (as many as you would like to make)
- Necklace (an old one you have lying around)
- Dandelion seeds, dried flowers, or baby's breath (or any small flowers you can fit into the bottle)
- Nail polish base/top coat
- Ribbons w/ scissors & glue gun (optional - only if you want to add a ribbon)
- Pendant/charm (optional)

IF you're not using an old necklace & you want to make your own necklace:
- Medal chain (as long as you would like your necklace to be)
- Jump Rings (2)
- Lobster clasp (1)
- Pliers (2) & wire cutter (1)

LET'S GET OUR DIY ON!

HOW TO MAKE A NECKLACE CHAIN
1. Cut the chain to desired length, with a wire cutter (for safety purposes)
2. Using pliers, add a lobster clasp to one end of the chain.
3. At the other end of the chain, add a jump ring (using pliers)
4. VOILA! You're done!

HOW TO MAKE THE GLASS BOTTLE NECKLACE
1. Take the cork top off your glass pendant.
2. Put the dandelion seeds/flowers into the glass bottle. You might need a tweezer.
3. Apply nail polish (either base or top coat) around the inside of the glass bottle's neck, and then close the bottle with the cork top.
4. [OPTIONAL] Tie a ribbon around the glass bottle's neck, into a bow. This is for decoration.
5. Loop the necklace through the pendant's hoop to wear it.
6. [OPTIONAL] Add a charm to one of the links of the necklace.
7. YOU'RE DONE! Enjoy wearing your necklace!

Why hello there!

Here are some outfits from my winter lookbook video that I would like to share with you. These outfits are what I would wear to holiday parties, depending on the dress codes. Here, in all of my outfits, my focus is on the classic trench-coat. I would definitely change some of these outfits to tailor to the weather of your location. I live in Southern California, so our winter feels like fall. I would definitely add more layers and wear only boots if I were to live in a colder climate. However, I do hope you like these pictures. Let me know which outfit is your fav~

Video Lookbook Video:

Outfit #1 - Casual

Outfit #2 - Semi Casual

Outfit #3 - Dressy (Party Outfit)

Outfit #4 - Dressy (Party Outfit)

For this outfit, I would glam it up with a statement necklace. I would also add a few more jewelry pieces to spice up the outfit. Unfortunately, I left my jewelry at home when I went to shoot for this look.

THAT'S IT! I hope you like this post~ Let me know which outfit you like most!

Bye guys! Have a wonderful day!

Love,

Hello! ♥

The winter season is almost here and I don't know about you guys, but I'm mostly looking forward to wearing coats and jackets! I'm obsessed with them. Hey, what can I say? I'm a jacket/coats kind-of-girl. So for the last two years, I've been on the hunt for a perfect pea-coat, trench-coat, etc...one of each kinds of coats. I'm still on the look out for gorgeous, yet inexpensive coats/jackets. The price varies depending on the coats, brands, etc., but I think you can definitely find a nice decent coat for about $60 or less. Since I'm still on the hunt for winter coats and jackets, I will definitely include pictures of ones I've come across that I want to purchase. If I already have the coat, I will include pictures of me wearing them so you guys can see how I style my winter coats/jackets.

1. H&M DOUBLE BREASTED JACKET

I LOVE this jacket! I wore it all the time last winter (I was obsessed with this jacket!). I love that you can adjust the collar to however you like it because it's very structured, as you can see in the two modeled pictures below mines. You can adjust your collar to turn it into a sort of turtle neck to keep your neck from being cold, kind of like a built in scarf! I also like the fact that the jacket does not make you look too bulky that you lose your waistline, it's very tailored. This jacket is great for layering, or you can just wear it over a dress or top if you live somewhere that's not too cold like I do.

I actually purchased this for about $50 last year. It's on SALE this year!

SALE: $39.95

2. H&M DOUBLE-BREASTED JACKET (also)
I'm currently looking at this jacket, not sure if I should buy it. It reminds me a lot of the jacket about, except it's a darker color and with faux leather details along the collars, pockets, and sleeves. The collar is also adjustable. It is edgy, chic, and a bit more daring than the first jacket. The faux leather can definitely add more to the outfit and allows you to incorporate more leather into your outfit.

Link: H&M Double-Breasted Jacket

SALE: $34.95

3. FOREVER 21 FAUX LEATHER MOTO JACKET

Leather jackets are definitely great for layering during the winter season. Real leather helps keep you warm, but if you're an animal lover, faux leather is the way to go. Moto jackets instantly make you look edgier and tough. The one I'm wearing is probably one of my favorite finds from Forever 21 (F21). The jacket looks amazing because of all the details, although you probably can't see it from the pictures. It has a quilted shoulder area, belted collar, gold metal zippers and details, zippered sleeves and pockets, etc. It's sewn beautifully! I've gotten tons of compliments on my leather jacket. Unfortunately Forever 21 does not carry it in stores anymore, but I've found something similar to the one I have.

PRICE: $37.80

4. H&M Trench-coat

I have been eyeing some of H&M's trench-coat for the past two years. I regret not buying one I saw last year, which was absolutely beautiful! I recently purchased a trench-coat from H&M from $49.95 and it is definitely a steal for that price! I was lucky because there were only 2 left in the store and one of it was actually my size. Unfortunately, it is sold out, but hopefully these pictures help if you're shopping for your trench-coat. I'm still looking for similar options but none have caught my attention.

Here is the one I wanted to get last year for about $60:

Here is the picture of the one I recently bought. I don't have a picture of me wearing it yet since I am in the process of putting together a Winter Lookbook video. I will definitely update this post when I take my coat out for a ride!

Price: $49.95

Link: Unavailable/Sold Out

5. ZARA PADDED JACKET WITH FUR HOOD
For those who live in colder climates or those who live in warmer climates but are planning to go to colder climates to skiing/snowboarding, this jacket is something you might want to invest in. Zara listed this jacket in its "special prices" section, which I think means "sales." Padded jackets like are usually between $100-$150. For $59.99, I think this is a great deal for a Zara jacket. I plan on going skiing/snowboarding either this winter or next winter, and this jacket is something I want to invest in because it'll keep me warm and it looks cuter than a lot of padded jackets that I've seen!

Price: $59.99

6. Forever21 Faux Fur Hooded Drawstring Parka

I am a sucker for parkas (aka utility jackets)! Can we just stop to look at this beauty? I think I just fell in love as I came across this as I scrolled through images of jackets. During the winter, since we tend to wear layers upon layers, we tend to lose the waistline. I love that this parka has drawstrings around the waist area, which you can adjust to synch your waist to give you the hour-glass shape. The faux fur hood definitely adds something to the jacket, which I think makes it look more feminine, don't you think? For those who live in colder climates, it's best to wear multiple layers with this parka because wearing this alone isn't going to keep you warm. If you live in Southern California like me, a sweater underneath this would do.

Price: $54.90

Link: Forever 21 Faux Fur Parka

8. Forever 21 Double Breasted Peacoat

I think a peacoat is definitely a staple item in a girl's closet. In my opinion, trench coats are more dressed up while peacoats are more casual. I have a very similar peacoat that I recently purchased from Forever 21 (will update in this post after I feature it in my winter LookBook), and I noticed that I have been wearing it a lot more often than my trench coat. Why? Because it's so casual and it goes with almost every single outfit. You look more "made up" without looking too dressed up. If you are a petite girl, I would totally recommend going for a peacoat because it does not make you look shorter since it's not too long in length.

Price: $47.80

I hope this post helps you while you shop for your winter coats and jackets. You do not have to buy these coats/jackets, but instead, use them as references, especially if you are on a budget. Good luck on your search for the perfect winter coats and winter jackets!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi!!!
Christmas is coming! It's that time of year where many of us stress over what to get for our friends, family, and or significant other. I have to admit that finding gifts for people I care about is really tough. I'm actually doing some Christmas shopping and I thought it might be helpful to write a post of Christmas gifts ideas. Hopefully it's helpful for those of you who are still doing some last minute Christmas shopping.

Christmas Gifts for Her!
- If she is beauty/makeup lover...

Link: Makeup Brush Tree
Description: This makeup brush tree is used for drying makeup brushes, which holds the makeup brushes upside down to keep the wooden handle of the brushes from getting wet/molding. This helps the makeup brushes' handles to not fall off and crack/get ruined. This is extremely useful to have! I would recommend getting one if you want to take care of your brushes.

Link: Brush Cleansing Cleansing Glove

Link: Real Techniques Brush Set (Limited Edition)

Descriptions: Real Technique brushes are fairly popular amongst female makeup lovers. These brushes are reliable and are good quality, especially when they are inexpensive compare to Sigma Brush Sets, which could go up to $150+

Link: Original Beauty Blender & Cleansing Set

Descriptions: The Beauty Blender is very popular amongst makeup lovers. They're great for blending out foundations and are great for contouring the face. They help to achieve a flawless foundation face, even more flawless than makeup brushes. The cleansing set is to cleanse the beauty blender sponge, which works better than makeup brush cleaner. It is made specifically to clean the beauty blenders.

If she is a coffee lover...
