New Adventures in Fashion

Happy hump day, chickadees!

Although I ADORE vintage, I also am a pretty crafty chick. That being said, I've ventured out into the world of jewelry.

Here are my first pair of leather feather earrings. I made them yesterday, posted them on my Facebook page and sold 2 pairs!I found my inspiration on Etsy and made my own versions.

Neon is HUGE for Spring, so I incorporated some neon colors.

I am now attempting my luck at a couple of necklaces. Here are some pics of the work in progress. I'm still debating on the placement of the pink and gold leaves and whether or not to make them into feathers like the above pic. I will definitely be making another pair of earrings using the pink and gold chevron pattern. The green and gold one will be my person necklace for our St. Patty's Day festivities.

I've been a busy little bee today.  So....what do you think?

Football Fashion

I know not everyone is a football fan.  Heck, it wasn't until we got our very own Houston Texans, that I became a fan myself.  Oh, I remember watching the Houston Oilers with my daddy, but when the teen years hit, I lost interest.  Friends and fashion came into my life and I pretty much never looked back.  Until now.....

I realize you can mix the 2 together! Not only that, but handmade and vintage fashion at that. Check it out:

I crocheted my beanie and attached a red, white and blue vintage star brooch to it. My ring and red wood bead necklace are also vintage. The gray Wilson's leather jacket I'm wearing is from my good friend Qiana from Eklectic Xplosion Vintage

I wore a plain white T that I decorated with the Patriots logo. I just looked up their logo on the internet, traced it with a pen, pinned it under my shirt and used fabric markers to do the rest. I layered it with a dark blue long sleeve T underneath.

Overall, we had a great time. I won almost all the end of the quarter pots...yay me!

The half time show was awesome. Madonna killed it. I heard she had even pulled a hamstring earlier in the week and STILL performed! I tell ya, I want to be able to rock like her at 53! Between her performance and the David Beckham commercial, my eyes were glued to the television! 

How did you spend your Super Bowl Sunday?
