I have noticed that flower tiara in a ton of different stores for spring. I love the idea of wearing a crown on just a regular day. I was walking around Joann’s Fabrics buying supplies for another DIY project and found myself drawn to the fake flower section. I decided to try to try my hand at a flower crown DIY. It came out just lovely and was very easy to accomplish. The details on how I made the tiara are below.
Winter is coming! So is the Season Premiere of Game of Thrones Season 3! I have been listening to Game of Thrones book 3: A Storm of Swords and have been dying to discuss the dirty details of book 3 with the world. I am excited to see what happens in the season and also ecstatic to see the Game of Throne Fashion! It is going to be a great season and I am impatiently waiting for the big day on March 31, 2013.

I have been watching the Carrie Diaries since it came out. It has filled the hole in my teen drama TV schedule that the end of Gossip Girl created. Naturally, it’s also spurred me on to re-watch Sex and the City. I had forgotten how much I loved those 4 girls!

I could never imagine missing the 80s, but as with all fashion, there will always be a recycle of trends. Of course, there have been modifications of the 80s look. Carrie wears updated 80s clothing, but her co-stars wardrobe is straight out of the decade of indulgence.
