DIY Glittery Boots!

Happy Monday everyone!!!  Autumn is here!!!  Fall is my favorite season out of all.  I just love the crispy sounding of dry leaves as I step on them.  And that subtle color of auburn and orange just brightens up any gloomy day.  Color is not the only thing I love about Fall, of course.  What else?  The boots obviously!!!  After 6 months (spring+summer) of going barefooted (sandals and flip flops do feel bare to me), it's time to break out all the knee high boots and booties!!!  A good pair of boots can last years and years.  After wearing them for several seasons, wouldn't you want them to have a "bootie-lift"?  When I came across this DIY, it hit me.  I knew this is the perfect DIY to share.

DIY + Happy Friday!

This is all you need:  brass ball chain, leather cord, waxed linen cord, and 1/4" brass hex hut.

Happy Friday my friends!  When I saw this lovely DIY wrap bracelet, I know I have to share it with you all.  I just love it when creativity goes beyond a whole new level.  It's jaw-dropping when you see jewelries make of something totally unexpected, brass ball chain.  When you think of brass ball chain, you think of a little chain hang around to a table lamp that you can turn on and off(I think you still do see that when you go to Home Depot or Lowes).  Who would've thought that it can be reused as an accessories.  Now you can, just go to HonestlyWTF for full instruction on how to make this.

Sneak Peek: LIN Jewelry Collection

This week went by so fast but I'm not complaining because I love the longer and warmer days; a pleasant reminder that summer is here! 

Talking about summer, in May, Coquese will debut amazing, I mean breathe-taking, unique pieces from the talented jewelry designer, LIN. LIN’s unique sense of style is inspired by her love for “integrating different but complementing components” to invoke originality, creativity and of course, eye-catching elegance. Her pieces are made from good quality material and they are also affordable. Here is a sneak peak of some of her gorgeous earrings.   

LIN Earring Set 1

Aint these earrings just beautiful? This "Set 1" comes in various colors too!  You can get one for each day of  week. 

LIN Earring Set 2

"Set 2", the dangling heart-shaped crystal earrings are my favorite. I'll definitely wear those on a dinner date with my hubby. I'm sure he'll fall in love with me all over again J  OK, just kidding.



Anyway, what kind of outfit would you wear these earrings with? I'd love to know.

In the meantime, have a great weekend!

All things bunny

Easter Sunday is two weeks away.  And Hop, a movie celebrating Easter by bring the Easter Bunny to life  has grossed over $37 million in the box office in just one week!  Equally amusing, is that this is the year of Rabbit according to the Chinese calendar.  Occupying the 4th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Rabbit symbolizes such character traits as creativity, compassion, and sensitivity.  

With all these bunny products (see the bunny napkins, candles, toothpick holder, ring and vase), I wonder if the designers were born in the year of Rabbit. They're certainly created by a bunch of creative minds.

Magic bunny toothpick holder by alessi.  Careful, they might hop out of the magical hat with toothpicks.

These products are so adorable.  They're making me want to watch the movie Hop this weekend.   What about you? Are you doing anything fun this weekend? Do you know of interesting bunny products? We'd love to hear about it. 

Wishing you all a happy Friday and hopping to more joys this weekend!

Happy Friday!

I just want to share this happiness by Laurel Schwulst with you all.  It made me smile and it will make you smile too!  I guaranteed it!!!
