I really don't feel like writing anything today, so just make yourself laugh and watch these... :)

Potter Fashion: a Bleached Pen Tee

My sister Carina made me this shirt with a bleach pen! Isn't it sweet?!?!!

Yes. Yes, it is pretty sweet. What is not so sweet is the fact that I have messy hair, am wearing no makeup, and pajama pants (because I was getting ready for bed when i remembered to take pictures). So just ignore that fact. Oh and also, you can see a bracelet on my right wrist in the above picture that Carina also made for me! It has my name on it. :)

Isn't Harry Potter awesome? And also do-it-yourself projects? Even better are the two combined! I would strongly recommend making a shirt as cool as this one with something as simple as a bleach pen! I am most happy and grateful for this shirt, so thanks Carina!

Oh and happy Wizard Wednesday!!! Say hello to the biggest Harry Potter fan in the world...he is pretty sweet too :)

Rain Boot Weather

Here in Utah...winter weather has come a little early. The day I wore this get-up, it rained all day and even snowed a little. SNOWED! Yes. Welcome to my state. I only wish when I said my state that I meant California....ah, a girl can dream, right?

I got my rainboots from Target last year...and I love them. :) They keep my feet warm and dry. I learned freshman year of college after owning only one pair of boots that got water in them constantly that there was only one wait to walk around at school in the rain and snow with some sensible style. Rain boots. Aka life savers!

At least life is still fairly happy regardless of the rain. :)

P.S. I also looove my coat too! I got it for $7 at a DownEast/Modbe sale. It's warm and very cute. Although two of the buttons already came off. :( DownEast and their companies aren't always known for making the best quality stuff unfortunately. That's why if I buy something from them (not the basics, like the camisoles and tees--those are fine), it's on sale. I don't wanna spend $50 for a dress that is going to fall apart the first time I wear it! Don't get me wrong...DownEast great, but I do just have a few (a lot) of frustrations with them....frustrations that I'll save for a later date. ;)

What's the weather like where you live? Rainy? Snowy? Sunny? Just plain cold?

What do you think about DownEast Basics? Quality of clothing and their designs...yay or nay? I really am curious!

Oh and I decided to make this week Harry Potter week, because my roommate and I are throwing a Harry Potter birthday party (both our birthdays were last week) this Friday that is going to be awesome! So I'm in quite the Harry Potter mood more than usual. I'll give you a Harry Potter video or picture every day this week! And then after that I think I'm officially naming Wizard Wednesday on my blog to celebrate Harry Potter every week cuz I love it so much. :D

Here's today's video...I love this because it encompasses all the emotions of why so many love HP so much.

Tutorial: How To Take in a Frumpy/Too Big Cardigan

So the cardigan I was wearing in the post yesterday and the one I'm wearing now is probably my new favorite cardigan! It's super cute and the perfect color, especially for fall. :) Buuut....I had to fix it first. I thrifted it, so it was a little big and didn't fit completely right and made me look baggy. I'm sure all of you have been able to relate to this at some point. Maybe you bought the cardigan and wore it because you liked the color and style but knew it really didn't look the best on you. Or maybe you saw it in the store, tried it on, and put it back because it just didn't look right. Or maybe you bought and never wore it. Either way, I feel like we all try on cardigans like these! So I've posted a tutorial on how to fix them and make them fit better!

Does your cardigan look like this and make you feel like this?

Then follow these easy instructions to fix your cardigan (and this can also work for t-shirts or dresses that are just a little too wide/big.

1. Take your cardigan and turn it inside-out, try it on and then either pin fit it (meaning you put pins on the spot where you want to take it in) or measure how many inches you will have to take it in to sew it on the side seams and arm seams

2. If you didn't pin fit it while on you, then take it off and measure how much is needed on each side and put the pins into place.

3. Get matching thread in your sewing machine and then sew along where you pinned the cardigan (it's still inside out at this point). See stitch lines below for an example of how I sewed it.

5. Turn it right side out and you're done! Easy right? And then you have a wonderful cardigan that fits great and looks like this and makes you feel like this:

I really do love my red cardigan so much more now after doing this and I wear it a lot more because it fits and looks a lot better! And it took me probably about 15 minutes. So go in your closet, pull out that too-big cardigan you never wear, and get sewing!! :)

Pinterest Friday!

Yay! Pinterest Friday! Probably my favorite day of the week. Haha you know what's funny is when bloggers say stuff like that and as a reader, you're like, why is this your favorite day of the week? You'd rather have an outfit post (at least that's how I feel when other people do this)! But I love doing it! Because for one, I get to focus on stuff I love and I don't have to focus on me! (ha it's also a little easier and less time consuming than doing an outfit post, I'll be honest) So I truly am sorry if you don't like pinterest Friday, because I know how you feel! But bear with me and know that there will be another outfit post on Monday...most likely. If you're lucky maybe I'll post tomorrow or Sunday. But just so you know, weekends are my break days so I don't have to worry about the blog or scrutinize over wearing something cute if I don't want to. Anyways. Enjoy pinterest.

P.S. I think I better change yesterday's post name to "It's Beginning to Look Like Winter" because it SNOWED yesterday. Wow. I am sorry to all of my fellow Utahns for making you think Autumn was here and here for a while. I was wrong. Mean and cold old Winter pushed beautiful and nice Autumn out of the way. Not cool Mister Winter, not cool. :(
