Can't pass this up. I feel like I'm in an episode of Clueless right now (and that's not a complaint) My top picks I'm trying to grab are either Miista, Jeffrey Campbell or UNIF hologram shoes. Nastygal also has some handbags I'm eyeing. So excited for spring fashion.

I've been hard at work lately coming up with some new styles for my line, AC | Design.

I love designing...getting to experiment with color and texture, it's truly my passion. Above, is my wildly colorful pom necklace which features removable pom pom keychains. The scarf is an upcycled t-shirt with crocheted stands added in for texture. The bottom pic features new spring pieces, which will be out in local shops and in the online shop SOON! Get it all at www.acdesignshop.com

Lately, I can't seem to get enough gingerbread. The rich flavor of the molasses and spices keep me coming back for more. I struck gold when my first gingerbread making experience was a huge success. I used a cookie recipe from Cake Girls. Try it! (mouth watering right now....WANT!) To top off all my gingerbread makings, I've been using just a basic cream cheese frosting. Use a stick of butter, equal amount of cream cheese, about a teaspoon of vanilla, powdered sugar until it gets to the consistency you want....simple. My new fav sweet treat.

It's hit that time where winter seems to be dragging on here in Northeast Ohio. In attempt make the outdoor's dullness and chill a little less severe, I've been rocking some brightness and winter florals.

The gorgeous coat is from Zara, they have the best collection of simplistic street ready coats you can find. Green floral pants are also from Zara. Neon yellow button up shirt and studded belt is from Jcrew. Mint envelope purse and sunglasses are from NastyGal.

I kind of have this problem when I go into Sephora, I get sucked into buying more then what I went there for. It definitely doesn't help when all the associates recognize me because I'm in there so much and start excitedly telling me about the new product that they just got in which they know I'll love. Ha! I love it, It's always good times. 

Recently, I found these GORGEOUS colors in the clearance spot. My heart fluttered especially when I saw they were only $5. Score! Nails Inc. is now one of my favorite nail polish brands. The pink (not on nails) is Islington crackle. Turquoise is Clapham crackle. My favorate, mustardy-cheastnut color is Hampstead Gardens.

I love adding my personal touch to things. I'm also currently obsessing with all the 3-d scrapbooking/craft stickers. (Ooooo the possibilities make me giddy!) Anyhow, this is my very first phone case. I decided I actually wanted to take care and baby this iphone so I ordered a plain gray case and went to a craft store to pick up these stud stickers. For a little extra stick, I used Jewel-It glue. Create a pattern, stud the whole thing...whatever you want. It's fun and adds character to your phone. Happy stickering!

I'm saying hello to 2013 in a casual but GLAM sparkly outfit. There's nothing wrong with a texture overload...I mixed velvet, faux fur, metallic, sequins and of course, spikes.
These high waisted velvet jewel-tone leggings are an amazing deal...ebay! I also got a great deal on the vest, couldn't pass it up...I love oversized layering pieces. Nude pumps are from Aldo and the arm party is a mix of Express and AC | Design. Necklace is also AC | Design. As for the sparkly gemmed up hair, those are rhinestone stickers from the scrapbooking section at the craft store. They're pretty easy to take out too since they just use double sided tape.
