Soiree Jewelry - Shrink Dink

While flipping through Country Living magazine I saw this cool arts and crafts project. Shrinky Dink jewelry! I thought the idea was genius, you can make any type of jewelry you want earrings, necklace, bracelet, key chain, book embellishments...etc... ANY THING! I love the creative freedom and inspiration it invokes. So I decided this would be a great addition to the Soiree Brunch. So all my Orchids made their own personalized Soiree Jewelry. It was PERFECT! I went to Michael crafts store and picked up on pack of Inkjet sheets and a pack of plain. I selected pictures from past Soiree's, phrases, cute patterns and designs and printed them.

Jewelry Display

For the longest time I have been looking for a Jewelry box that can contain all of my jewelry. Still I don't have one. My necklaces are always getting tangled together, cant find the match to an earring, you get the picture. So over the weekend I was on You Tube (specifically msvaughn and tonidaley 80) for hair inspiration and got an idea! They have these jewelry display boards on there wall. It was an AHhA moment! Why don't I just pin my Jewelry to the wall!?!


So I looked at all the walls in my room, I have this odd small space in my room that really doesn't get used so I used that wall. WOW I hung up all my jewelery (necklaces, bracelets, earrings), hats, and headbands. WOW it looks nice and now everything can be displayed without any problem. No more necklaces getting tangled up. I'm loving it!

I simply found some push pins/ thumb tacks, put them how I wanted on the wall and hung my stuff up. Later I probably will find some cool picture frames and case them off, but right now I'm just happy to see them displayed.

Headband Deals

So a couple of weeks ago I went shopping. I went into one of my favorite stores Forever 21 and went headband crazy. I had to calm my self down there were so many cute cute cute cute headbands! So this is what I got! By the way I only spent less then $6 for each most were $4.80!

Winter Hair Care - Hats

As I mentioned before Hats are an effective way to protect your hair.

Jazzy Headbands

Finding or making a unique headband is a great way to stand out and add a little something to your look. You don't have to go out and buy expensive headbands. Just to jog your memory I was able to find a cute headband I saw online for $1.00, no lie (Go to the link to see)! The ones I have selected below are less than $10.00. Also don't forget to use your creativity you can make some of the headbands you see in the store for much less then they cost. There is all ways a way to find or make what you want.

Headbands are also great for jazzing up your protective styles for the winter. When you have a bun, pony tail, up do, puff etc...just place one of these headbands on and your good to go. Flowers, butterfly's many accessories can help you with the look that you are trying to achieve.
