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.

It was an unusually warm day here in Akron OH in December. I should have been sporting a scarf and winter coat, but instead I get to show off a pretty pink blazer. Also, I  LOVE that floral background. It's in the window of an old school wallpaper shop downtown close to my house.

This year I got a new white Christmas tree. It's gorgeous with all the colorful ornaments! All the bright colors pop! I wanted some more big pieces for my tree in the colors of my living room so I made a bunch of Poms to place on it. Best idea ever. It's Inexpensive while adding texture...makes a statement, that's for sure!
