DIY Ombre Teardrop Necklace

I had the pleasure to work with my friend Lucero who runs a DIY channel on YouTube Lucykiins. She graduated from FIDM and is extremely talented in design and DIY. Not only is she beautiful, smart, and talented, but she is also very sweet! Please make sure to follow her on Facebook as well under Lucykiins and Instagram!

Okay guys, I promise we did not plan on matching, that was all a coincidence! I guess great minds think alike, that or we are just on trend! Again, living in LA and in the Valley, the weather can be unpredictable…that’s why I decided to wear shorts and these adorable heels from Lola Shoetique (Here).

Can you believe she made these necklaces? They are very unique and super trendy! I love how Lucy styled her necklace with jeans for a more casual look.

We hope you enjoyed the video and please make sure to check out Lucy’s other videos on YouTube and make sure to support and subscribe.

Leatherette

Before I start, I would like to say I was hesitant about posting these photos because I felt like they weren’t “worthy” for the blog because I am wearing a crop top. I’ve never been a small body type nor would I ever want to be. I am very confident in my skin and I hate it when girls that are not skinny don’t appreciate themselves. It took me some time to learn that everyone is beautiful no matter what size they are. Blogging has really helped me come out of my shell and has taught me so much. So here you go, here are some photos I posed for in a crop top.

I bought these Amazing shorts during the summer at the Pasadena Flea Market because they reminded me of a pair Zara had but without the big price tag. The weather here in Los Angeles has been playing with our emotions, but the camel color is definitely a must have for the fall. These shorts will definitely be spotted on the blog again but maybe with a jacket or some tights.

I really hope that this blog post gets some of my fellow bloggers to change their mentality or help someone realize that they are beautiful no matter what society thinks of them.

I will admit, that I was very intimidated to wear  leather shorts…actually leather anything! I always felt like if I didn’t wear them correctly I was going to look like a beat up biker babe or some crazy dominatrix person. The only kind of leather I would attempt to wear was a leather jacket or vest until my friend Angela convinced me to go out and buy some faux leather shorts.

 That said, I practically lived in these leather shorts this summer and will continue to over use them this fall and winter.  Not only are they trendy, they can be dressed up or down which is extremely important for a person like me who is always on the go.

Since then, I’ve been paring these shorts with everything! Dressed up with heels and blazer and dressed down with tee shirts and flats. In my advice, I suggest you keep it minimal with one pop of color  in your top or a bold necklace or even bold lips. I kept this outfit simple with nude heels and a bold lip.
