|DIY| Sprinkles in Springs x Chic Streets and Eats Collaboration

 

this DIY was very easy and very fun, especially because I partnered up with the extremely talented Kara of Sprinkles in Springs, she shares the same passion about crafts as I do, but she takes it up a whole 'nother notch. Back at the end of October I believe we decided to do a collaboration post that would be related to the holidays and so we brainstormed on our own and we came up with this idea of creating our own gift wrapping paper because c'mon doesn't this look so much fun and so chic? I'd like to think so. All of the materials came from Target and were easy to find, but you can always run to your local craft store and I am sure you will have the same luck.

 

I hope that you find our tutorials easy to follow and that you get inspired to create your own personalized gift paper to make your loved ones feel even more special. To see Kara's gift wrapping paper creations go here. Please leave us your thoughts we love to hear from our readers and if you end up doing your own creations based on this tutorial take pictures and tag us on Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see them.

 

*Special thanks to the wonderful Kara for this collaboration and for the beautiful banner you created (see first pic), it was a pleasure working with you and hope to do it again soon.

 

Nicole Richie for Impulse Macy's Blogger Preview Party

 

on Tuesday a few local bloggers and I attended the Nicole Richie for Impulse Preview Party hosted by Macy's in Aventura Mall. We got to take a look at the pieces before they hit the stores the next day. I was looking forward to it as I had a pretty good feeling her pieces were going to be superb. If you have been following Nicole's trajectory in the fashion industry than you know she has a pretty successful line of accessories called House of Harlow, so it is no surprise that she decided to collaborate with Macy's to create a line for Impulse that would be reasonably priced. Her line has pieces that speak to me very much and those are the masculine with feminine touches that I so crave and love, she also has that signature style of hers - boho-chic incorporated in a few of the pieces. One of my favorite pieces was a Faux leather and lace top that I am wearing in the group photo. I suggest you go to Macy's right away (if you haven't already) to check out her line as you won't be disappointed.

 

A special thanks to the Macy's team in Aventura Mall for having us and hosting the preview party for just for us, it was so much fun.
