diy project- tea cans as flower pots
What a cute idea?! and easy to do too. I've seen old tea cans used as flower pots for weddings but I'm thinking they are perfect for kitchen decor.

oxfords
I've been dying to get a great pair of oxfords for a while now, but I'm not too entirely sure what color or style I want or what to wear them with. I found a few of my favorites that aren't too classic and have a bit of a cute twist.

b-e-a-utifulll
Whenever I am shopping at GAP, I feel like anything I pick off the rack is going to look relaxed and simple, but chic and beautiful at the same time. I also feel like everything is made with mixing and matching in mind, which gives you that easy feeling that you can pick an outfit with your eyes closed and it will look good together. I'm usually short on time (due to that thing called a snooze button!) when getting ready and either have to skip on hair and makeup (which isn't a good idea) or on taking my time to pick out an outfit and really get all the details right. GAP already has all those little details perfected so it's an easy day when I grab jeans, one of their tees or tanks and one of their cardigans. I was looking at new styles online (and the deals for the presidents day sale!) and I am so loving all the pieces. Even the models and their hair look so beautiful. Can I just be a living GAP ad?

adding a few embellishments would be a simple diy project if you have a lot of plain cardigans that need jazzed up |

spring has sprung
The weather has changed so suddenly the past few days, from snow and a temperature in the 30's, to sunshine and a high of 63 degrees. It's definitely for the better though. I brought out one of my versatile dresses that goes from late winter to summer (it has short sleeves and a black and white floral print with hints of pinks and mint) on Wednesday, and now all I want to wear is floral. Maybe if I limit my wardrobe to have some hint of floral then spring will come even faster? I only wish I had that kind of power.

diy tote bag
I found this lovely diy project on design sponge a while ago and have had it under my diy tab, but just haven't had the time or willpower to make it yet. But. I am going to at least start on it this weekend, and hopefully finish it and proudly carry the cute thing around. I want to make a few modifications to the one shown, like a darker color than cream for the outside and possibly a print for the inside, but I haven't looked for the right fabric just yet. If it's easy enough, I'm thinking of making one as presents for all my female friends and family. We'll seeeee.
