Leather Statement
Fringe+Leather+Color = S T A T E M E N T
A little "eye catching" never hurt anyone, and these hand made fringe earrings are sure to do just that. These hand cut leather earrings in colors of gold, red, turquoise and white can stand out in a sea of long hair. Some earrings also come with feather accents to instantly add that boho feel. So if you're ever feeling a little plain jane in that black dress, just add a pair of these earrings to catch some stares. Did we forget to mention that they're only $36 a pair? What a deal!

DIY Project: Earring Frame
I love earrings! They are my favorite accessory when I get dressed in the morning to add an extra splash
of color. But, I always have trouble making sure they don't get tangled up with all the rest of my jewelry.
I came across this super simple DIY idea from my Mom and I knew I had to try it out myself! – Kehau
MATERIALS NEEDED
- Scissors
- Any style/size Frame
- Pliers
- Staple Gun (with staples!)
- An Earring Collection
- Screen (can be purchased at any hardware store - one massive roll at Home Depot is $10.00)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take the back portion off of the frame and turn it over on it's belly. Then you want to cut the appropriate
amount of screen so that it fills the complete lower edge (where the original backing was placed).
2. With the staple gun, firmly staple the edges of the screen to the frame (starting at the corner).
Make sure to press down tightly, as to not let the screen become loose.
3. When you are finished securing the screen to the frame, flip it over and start arranging
your earrings for your viewing pleasure. It's a good idea to choose alternating shapes
and sizes to make a better arrangement. You're done!

Fashion Forward Fridays
2012 Fall Trends-
Navy... the new black
I constantly hear many women tell me "I have too much black in my wardrobe".
Truth be told, many women do end up with a large amount of black in their closet.
Who can blame them? Black is a true classic color and not to mention a "slimming" one as well.
But it's time to change things up a bit for this coming fall. Navy is just as versatile as black and can soften up certain looks. It complements well with different shades of gray, as seen on the blouse below, and pairs nicely with black colored details. Whatever trend you're dying to try this fall,
I'm about 100% sure that this is one that you can't go wrong with.
