If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been actively contributing projects and articles to quite a few websites.

If you’ve been following Studs & Pearls/myself for a while, you know how much I love to combine craftiness and sassiness. This holiday project is no exception. Last year, I created a just-for-fun watercolor painting of anti-Valentine’s Day candy hearts. Everyone loved it, so this year I wanted to re-create it in a different way. …

This time of the year is perfect for everything metallic, shiny, and glittery. I recently whipped up this skirt just in time for NYE, but I’ll probably be bringing it out for many dinner parties throughout the year. I’m in love with the liquid-y metal look of this jersey.
