Welcome, Hello.

I thought I'd sum up my day with a few pictures, and then for good measure at the end of the post I have progress photos of a recycled outfit. So, first off, I replaced my broken keyboard today.

I also bought a Yankee Candle in Hot Buttered Rum. I had smelled a candle before Christmas in the same scent at Bath and Body Works, I loved it but wanted to wait until they had it in other size. I went back for it two days later and they were sold out, and I couldn't find it anywhere else either. So, this candle is bigger, cost less, and probably smells better! I've been burning it since I got home and fills the whole house.

The last important part of my day focuses on nail polish. I got a skirt for Christmas that ended up not fitting and had to exchange it. I decided to exchange it for a little indulgence and bought a Chanel nail polish in Paradoxal. It's a beautiful grey-purple with a great purple shimmer. It applied very easy and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I would have gotten a picture of it on my nails but I took all these photos before they were painted. (And for those of you very familiar with Chanel nail polish, it didn't have that square top that they're supposed to, does that usually come in the box?)


Moving on to my recycled project, I chose to use magazine pages and left over duct tape from another project. First I made tons and tons of fans out of magazine pages.

And here is the mess after only making a few.

Here is my floor after I finished the dress. Disaster!

And lastly, here is my dress. I think it was even worth the major glue gun wounds I inflicted upon myself while working on it.

Countdown to the fashion show: 4 days not including Friday!
