absurdly peculiar

I was looking up images on Google because I was thinking of using safety pins for this wall art idea I had and then I came across this picture:  Chioma Nnadi's (Vogue Fashion writer) wearing a Vena Cava Necklace And this other one: Vena Cava I am SO thinking about making one of these.

I've been wanting to make this MARNI Necklace for a while. The only way I could think of making this for as little money as possible was using polymer clay. So I went to JoAnn Fabric's and picked up all of my supplies ( Thanks for the giftcard NT!). Things You'll Need:   polymer clay, ribbon, jewelry wire, scissors, jewelry wire pliers/cutters, glue, an oven

I have been busy working on a portfolio that I want to send to a company (so that they can be amazed by my accomplishments and hire me.. I know wishful thinking), but I have been working so slowly and I am sure it is because I want it to be awesome and not due to procrastinating. :) So I haven't had a chance to work on any DIY projects or come up with any clever postings. So instead I give you a list of items I've seen that could potentially turn into DIY projects: 1. MARNI Necklace , $390 2. Oscar de la Renta Beaded Tassel Earrings , $395 3. Skulls Drawcord Bracelet , $26 4. Neiman Marcus Colorblock N-S Tote , $68 I don't guarantee anything, but I am leaning towards the MARNI necklace or Skulls Bracelet. I believe Stripes & Sequins did a DIY for earrings similar to these already and I already did a DIY on totes, but another tutorial couldn't hurt...so I guess time will only tell if I end up doing one of these! I leave you with a song that is making my work a li

Michael Buble - Christmas I was recently on Refinery 29 reading a post about Gift Ideas. One of the comments was something along the lines of 'I don't know what world I would be living in where I would have $350 to spend on one friend.' I laughed because I am pretty much in the same boat and so I decided to create a list of gift ideas that were a little more budget friendly! I also thought it was time for a collage... I mean I haven't collaged for what, 2 posts? 1. Confetti Scarf , $8.90 - Such a great deal and something you can wear with almost anything. I think you can't go wrong with a scarf as a gift! 2. Les Petits Macarons , $18 - For the person who likes to bake/cook, cook books are a great gift idea...or books in general! I know that I have attempted to make macarons at least 3 times, and only once did them come out resembling macarons...and they still didn't look as good as the ones on this front cover.  3. Tocca Perfume , $48 - I love the smell of

I came across these Nektar de Stagni necklaces and thought I would put it on my DIY inspiration list. The price tag for each necklace is quite expensive, so if I can find an affordable way to get something similar...why not?! Can't wait to start working on some of things on my DIY list. Although, I still have 5 job applications to complete. Hopefully, I can get it done by tomorrow so I can work on some of my projects!
