Fancy Friday #8

-
Happy Fancy Friday! I'm in love with an 80's-inspired look I tried this week:

The cute little headband was made by Goody. I got a haircut recently and am still getting used to styling it. I've also overdyed my black up to red which makes it look ombre as it grows out (Fun!). Today I used my Damage Control spray from Redkin, blew it straight, flat ironed it, and added texturizing paste through the tips, a method inspired by this look.
I did a lot of black and gold jewelry inspired by the headband's bow: my minuscule black bow necklace is from Forever 21, and I wore the daily bunting necklace in this post and my American Eagle Outfitters gold chevron necklace in this one.

 This dress is from Target and is so fun, bright, flirty, and short that I feel like a rockstar! I paired it with plain black opaque tights, a chevron belt from Ann Taylor Loft, and my black oxford heels seen in this post.

 These shoes are actually incredibly comfortable and I can be on my feet all day in them! <3 p="">

 Check out the beadwork on that belt! Love it. The jet bracelet belonged to my grandmother, and the gold bracelet is my favorite piece of vintage jewelry I ever found at the local antique shop. I wore it in the first Fancy Friday post.

 For my makeup I was inspired by this look and this one but instead of a gold smoky eye I decided to do neater liquid liner with flicks. The liner and gold shadow are both Sephora brand. And on my lips I did a hot pink Revlon lip stain underneath a warm nude-colored Truco lipstick and a touch of Sephora liner.
Anywho, I have an amazing new dress from a really cool company that I can't wait to share soon, till next week, stay fancy ^_~.

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

I Love Lamp!

First of all, this is my 100th post which is some sort of milestone, so yay! And secondly, I've got another tutorial for a parasol light fixture to share! Today Michael and I were working on getting some light fixtures put up, which has been on my to-do list for a rediculously long time now. Endless gratitude for Michael making me get my butt in gear! So he helped me hang this nifty lotus flower-shaped lamp from Ikea over my sewing table. (I've always wanted one!) I finally have enough light to see what I'm doing, so maybe I'll actually start making things again! So anywho, on to the tutroial... Remember my idea for turning a parasol into a light fixture? Well with Michael's help I finally did it! We had a lot of technical issues to work out, so hopefully if anyone out there wants to make one this tutorial should save you a lot of time. As far as materials, you only need a hacksaw, a parasol, and some wire. Start by cutting the handle off of the paraso
