DIY Inspiration

I was browsing through Forever 21's website and came across these cool pieces.  Although they are inexpensive like everything else at Forever 21, I know I can DIY them and customize the colors to my liking.  Can't wait to find time to recreate some of them :)

Weekend Love List

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, life just got in the way.  Anywho here are some of the things I love from this past weekend. 

Gotta love Canadian winters :)  

PYT Curling Wand Review

My hair is naturally very straight and because I'm low maintenance with my hair I don't curl it very often [actually it's more like I only curl it for special occasions:)].  For Christmas my cousin, Jen, gave me a PYT clip free curling wand.  I was really excited to try it as I've heard curling wands are much easier to use and produce a better curl than a regular curling iron.  


Here are some of its features: 

• Tourmaline barrel fused with Ceramic
• 9 foot 360o swivel cord
• Reaches 400o F (however only one heat setting)
• Ready to use in 10 secs
• Lightweight
• Dual voltage 110-240 Volts, 50-60 Hz (great for those who travel)

Naturally straight hair.

In the tube you get the wand and a heat resistant glove (very important!).

Banana Muffins

When I have ripe bananas I tend to make muffins using THIS simple recipe.  These muffins are always moist and not sweet which is just how I like them!
Try adding some dark chocolate for a more indulgent muffin ;)

 Oh and I just love these silicon muffin cups that I got at IKEA, so cute!

(and afforable, less than a $1/cup)

Upside down muffin so you can see the flower pattern from the baking cup :)

These muffins make such a yummy breakfast/snack that they were gone in no time!

What do you make with ripe bananas? Share your recipes, I'd love to hear them!

Looking For: Chambray Shirt

The hunt is on for an affordable chambray shirt!   And from my rain boot hunt you know that I am very picky.  Here is some of my criteria:

• Must have a good weight to it.
• Solid wash (not faded or distressed!), preferably medium wash
• No western style and no logos.
• Slightly fitted (not boxy!)
• Affordable = $30 or less
• Available in Canada

Below are some of the styles I'm loving. 

          

                                           J. Crew                                                           Old Navy

  

                             
                                  Old Navy                                                                Eddie Bauer                                            

                

                            Forever 21                                                                                Levi's

I haven't been able to pull the trigger on any of them as none meet all of my criteria and I'm still not sure which wash I like the best.  I'm open to double or single pocket depending on how it fits.  One place I haven't looked yet are thrift stores so I'll be checking them out soon! 


Leave a comment with your suggestions, I would LOVE to hear them! Have a great weekend :)
