Five Lovely Things

By

Happy Friday! I am so ready for the weekend. This is the first weekend in a while that I don’t have anything planned. I’m looking forward to spending the day with my family, relaxing.  What are your weekend plans?

1. Vintage high waist trousers that I scored for $6. Look at the belt loop details! I love it. I have to incorporate this into my sewing.
2. Experimenting with unusual color combinations, like mint + purple. I also love navy + lilac and pink + red.
3. Spring nails! Don’t they remind you of Easter eggs?
4.  Do you remember friendship bracelets? When I was little, the were  called “promise rings” in Japan…only in Japan. I remember learning to knot the embroidery flosses in different ways to make bracelets. I recently saw some friendship bracelets in the instagram pictures (search #armswag, and you’ll find a ton of inspiration!) and decided to make them again. Oh I love it. I’m  making them for no specific purpose, but just knotting the flosses for hours is amazingly relaxing. :p I used the tutorials from this site (Japanese).
5. New heels with metal caps from ASOS. I love them but they hurt!
