Lace Accessorizing

 Lace accessorizing shorts has become the Crayola project of summer 2012. It's flirty fun and feminine plus super easy.

Supplies:

Shorts
Lace
Needle and Thread

1. Just sew on your lace wherever you want and that's it. Real simplistic. Granted, you don't do anything extravagant. haha

Lights

Chalkboard Frame

    This project is super easy to make, it just involves waiting and letting this dry so its not one of those immediate result projects, just a delayed 48 hours or something along those lines. I really liked this project as it is super practical and cheaper to make then to buy something similar in the store. And when you have all the colour selections of paint at your local craft store vs. the three colour options at the store, I don't know how it could get better. haha.

Supplies:

- Old Frame [I picked mine up at a local thrift shop for 2 dollars
-Paint
-Paint Brush
-Chalkboard paint
- Clear Paint Protector [if you want]
-Masking Tape [not pictured]


1. If anything needs sanded down, go ahead and smooth that out. I started out painting my frame first. I ened up applying around 4-5 coats.






2. After the paint is completely dry, I waited 24hrs. after I finished painting, use masking tape and cover all painted areas. 


3. Take your frame out and chalkboard spray your center frame. Make sure to read the instructions of how to apply the spray as it varies from brand to brand.

4. Touch up anything that needs touched up, but you should have a finished board!

Coloured Grey

The basic colour scheme of this outfit and the girly bow along with the more london street style edge was a a good balance for myself. And as I have just returned for touring Paris and London, I thought the top was appropriate. [and of course my baby jeep]

Flying Right

1. Hydrate 

Humidity levels when flying are terribly low, which is often why your skin feels dry and or tight. The best way to 'counter the lack of moisture in the air, is to drink lots and lots of water'. This will help you to feel refreshed and not so parched. 

2. Moisturize 

Before plane flying,  'lather up with lotion and lip balm'. Great basics as the travel size baby lotion and Vaseline are perfect for your carry ons. 

3. Lock Up

'The low humidity in cabin pressures also can have a tendency to take the volume of your hair out', leaving it more limp and dry. To help prevent this, put your hair in a pony or bun at the 'top of your head'. This not only keeps hair out of your face, but 'lifts your locks at the roots keeping the moisture in longer'. 

4. Layers and scarves

These are your best friends on planes. Some planes are extremely cold, others comfortable, and occasionally you’ll find a over warm plane. Having 3-2  layers on can prepare you to adjust to any temperature and a larger scarf is great to use as a blanket of type  if you are on a shorter flight that doesn’t offer blankets to their guests.
