Blake and Leighton at the Emmys. What does everyone think of their outfits? I’m not a fan of Blake Lively’s. I think Leighton looks really cute, but the dress removed isn’t so glamorous either.
I’ve been searching for things to hang on my walls that go with the decor in my apartment. OF course, everything I love is way beyond my budget. I was in Walmart a few days ago and I found scrapbook paper with patterns I fell in love with, BONUS- They match my living room! :] I bought the paper and designed patterns from it. I bought some cheap frames there and hung the artwork on the wall!! Here are some pictures so you can try this yourself.
Here’s a bunch of the papers from the book I tore out to use. I just cut pieces that were the same size as the frame and then added detail.
It came with random little motifs so I thought it’d be cool to incorporate them into some of the framed work.
Here’s one where I took a large piece of paper and cut it down. I then took 2 strips of another pattern and glued it to the top and bottom. After that I took one of the cut out motifs and glued it in the center.
FINAL RESULT!
Good luck trying it yourself- it’s a lot of fun!

I’m a nail polish fanatic and China Glaze is definitely one of my favorite brands. They are affordable, trendy, and great quality. I get mine $5.99 at Sally Beauty Supply- and sometimes they go on sale for $4.99. I’m going to post some pictures of my favorite colors and let you know why!
For blues and purples- These colors are my all time faves.
From left to right:
-Spontaneous- This purple is great all year round. It is vibrant, but not neon and does not have any grey tones. The only downside is that it takes about 3 coats for it to settle with out streaks. I’m not sure if I just got a bad bottle- but I love the color enough to keep on coating.
-Frostbite- This blue is seriously daring. It comes out brighter than it looks and is definitely different from any polish I’ve ever tried- I think that’s why I love it.
-Turned Up Turquoise- This color is a lot of fun. I love the turquoise because it doesn’t look like a yucky green. It really comes out beautiful. This color seems to last forever which I also love.
-For Audrey- This is color is HANDS DOWN my favorite nail polish I have ever owned. Every time I went to pick out new china glaze colors I was always drawn to it, but never purchased it until recently. I finally saw some other reviews on this and decided to go for it. When they say the color is comparable to Tiffany blue they are not lying. The color goes on effortlessly and looks stunning. I get so many compliments when I wear this- if you’re going to buy any China Glaze- get For Audrey. Besides, who doesn’t want a nail polish made after the Audrey Hepburn? 
These are my two favorite neon colors.
From left to right:
This photo did not capture the intensity of Pink Voltage. The color isn’t ridiculous neon like some other pinks I have tried, but I really think it is the perfect hot pink. I’m on my third bottle of Pink Voltage and it is definitely a staple in my nailpolish collection.
Rose Among Thorns- This red is indescribable. I loved it in the bottle when I bought it, but when I put it on I was amazed. The color is a neon red that I have never seen before. I’m always looking for the perfect bright red and this one is it.
Looking for a great pink thats less neon than Pink Voltage? Try Rich & Famous (pictured on the right). It is almost an exact Barbie pink. This color also seems to last forever and is my go to girly pink.
Here are my favorite colors for fall. From left to right:
Fifth Avenue- I love the mixture of pink and plum in this color. It really does scream fall to me. It’s professional and classy and great fall/winter.
VII- I think black polish has become a bit too harsh for this season. This deep purple/maroon looks great as a statement polish with out looking rough.
Wild Mink- This color is my favorite peachy pink. It looks great on fingers and toes and definitely works all year round.
Have a color you think I should try? Let me know!!! :)
I’m going to get a couple of posts on here before tonight- so keep checking back! :)
Hey! I’m working on getting comments working- feel free to post so I can make sure everything is alright.
