Did you know that people being trained to work in sales for Whirlpool have to live in a house with only Whirlpool appliances for a month for training?

So, I was looking through my continuously growing, reference sized book of magazine cutouts and decided I want to start posting about why the pictures inspire me and the many DIY ideas that come from the pictures. The only problem is that some of the pictures are so small and the camera on my phone is not the best, but I'm still going to give it a shot!

I love everything about this picture. I love how both the bracelet and the shirt are multicolored and they both have different color schemes but they look great together! I really like the draw strings on the shirt actually, so I thought about taking one of my collared shirts and flipping the collar inside out and threading a string or ribbon through it!

This picture is pretty blurry because the cutout was tiny but if you can see, its a wife beater with a man's bow tie on it. I thought it was a clever way to spruce up a white tank top!



I love the pearls and rhinestone heart on this bag! I really need a new bag because the handle on mine is broken! So, I was thinking I would buy a nice plain bag and decorate it like this one! I just need to find a large rhinestone heart. Maybe I'll add a bow or two also!

This one is really really really hard to see, but basically it's a pearl necklace with a bunch of safety pins on it! I love it! It's elegance and edge all in one necklace! I think I'm going to add some safety pins to one of my pearl necklaces now!

On a different note, I bought these shoes for my boyfriend yesterday. I think they're really cute and I want a pair now too! PF Flyers were actually a rival brand of Converse back in the day. 

Oh, and I wore this. I'm pretty fond of this jacket!

Belt it out

Top: Michael kors
Scarf Belt: thrifted

My idea of using a silk scarf as a belt really came from the wrap belts shown in Marc Jacob's spring 2009 ready to wear collection. It just seemed like such an easy idea to spruce up a top!


Speaking of belts, I've been really wanting some more to add to my closet. Belts are just such an easy way to make an outfit more exciting! You can also easily change the whole tone of your outfit by just changing your belt! I found some really cute and inexpensive ones from forever 21...
Faux leather bow belt $7.80

I can never deny a bow! The bow makes it super girly and the leather look gives it some edge!


Satin zebra print belt $6.80

To add a bit of wildness to your outfit?

Lily waist belt $12.80

I love how this belt doesn't have a buckle. Its technology looks so cleverly simple! It almost reminds me of handcuffs. What about a handcuff DIY belt? That would look cool! 

Pyramid wide elastic belt $9.80

Girly and rocker? Love it!

Who could deny these belts at such a price? They're the cost of a cup of coffee and a pastry at Starbucks!
