DIY: Lettered Beanie

After seeing lettered beanies everywhere from the punk tween bloggers to the edgier sides of fashion week, I knew they were a cold-weather style hit. Perusing online led to finding that these beanies, with any given saying from “vogue” to “boss”, even the kitschy “meow”, ranged in price from $24 all the way up to $50. I thought to myself, “for a beanie!?” Then I thought I could make that, for cheaper. Yea, it’s not breaking the bank, but I can’t resist getting a tad hands on with a DIY!

I bought a beanie and iron-on letters off of Amazon for less than $5. I don’t have an iron, but found I could use a hair straightener in the same way (ghetto-fab-rigged). You will also need a basic cotton tee shirt, even if using a real iron.

Cut your letters out and arrange them on your beanie as you’d like them to look. Be sure not to cut your cat’s tale no matter how in the way he puts it. Put your tee shirt around the inside and top of the beanie and iron each letter about 1 minute, let cool and peel off. Do this for each letter, then let cool before wearing.

Could this BE any easier!? It’s chic, quick, and budget saving. What do you think of this DIY? Would you make your own lettered beanie!? What would yours say!?

I Never Ever Saw the Northern Lights

A fun sporty look I actually wore to the Super Bowl party I went to! My wonderful photographer Brian and I played around with the natural lighting and I couldn’t be happier with the results! It reminds me of a little bit of WildFox vibes meets the street style of LA; what do YOU think!?
As for the clothes; This look is on the edgier style of my personal style spectrum. This sweatshirt (can you believe it’s only $15.99!?) is also kinda of WildFox inspired, and I love the fun quote. It’s subtle crop has me craving another fun belly ring, similar to the ones on FreshTrends, which are also so cheap and chic! And who can forget these shoes!? Adidas x Jeremy Scott inspired that I scored from my local Buffalo Exchange…YES.

Just Create and Hold On Tight to The Light Inside

This will only get harder
When we’re not afraid of fighting with honor
It’s our time to feel alive

I’d been feeling like I was losing my edge; this conservative city taking too much hold of me. So I threw on a more edgy outfit and called it a day. I love this sweater dress, mostly because it’s cozy cashmere, but also that it’s in the on-trend “orchid” that’s been announced as the color of the year! I paired it with an edgy beanie and fringe, leather and studs. I hate to feel as if I’m losing myself, so looks like this help keep me grounded in my personal style.
What do YOU do when you feel yourself drifting away from what you consider your unique qualities?
I throw on some good ol’ early ought pop-punk and read NylonMag to get back to my roots.
