DIY: Summer Sea Shell Headband

Step 1: Collect Shells

Step 2: Get a plastic headband from a Craft Store.

Step 3: Plan out your headband

Step 4: Use a hot glue gun and glue the back of the shells

Step 5: Apply shells to headband

Step 6: Put shells all around the headband and wait to dry, then, you are finished!

Who do you think you are, running around leaving scars?

Inspiration:

• polaroid cameras
• navy and white stripe tops with skirts
• soft, pastel blues and pinks
• coloured bikes with flowers
• crochet
• feather clips, earrings, and extensions
• coloured hair
• kittens

I am craving to go take some pictures and go shopping after looking at these photos. <3

Must haves to summer

The weather is getting hotter! Time to prepare! Here are some things that everyone must have for this joyful time of the year.
1. Flipflips
Flipflops come in tons of fun, bright colours! They are perfect to wear to the beach or the poolside. Here are some cute Roxy ones:

If you are a person who prefers wearing your flipflops as walking sandals, then invest in much more comfortable pair:

these shoes are called Fitflops. I bought this same pair for spring break. They have arches so they are conformable to walk in, and don't feel flimsy. 

2. Tote bag

Summer, you will be carrying a lot. You may possibly have your wallet, phone, ipod, summer novel, magazine, sunscreen, sunglasses, towel, and much more. Totes are cute and perfect for summer.

I love the yellow Roxy totes. Roxy has amazing stuff for summer and yellow is a very happy summer colour. If you can't decide on the colour, get a summery colour like pink or yellow for a statement, or you can settle for the popular navy and white striped sailor trend going on.

3. Denim shorts
Denim shorts are a MUST HAVE for summer. I couldn't survive my summer without them.

I love the distressed worn-out look for summer. It looks like you have worn them for many summers and have been through many memories in them (but really, you are in the process of making memories). These shorts from American Eagle are great. American Eagle has tons of variety for denim shorts.

4. Sun dresses
I love sun dresses! They are just so cute! I have so many in my closet and I just want to buy more and more.

As you can tell, I love sundresses. My favourites are Hollister, Forever 21, and Urban Outfitters. I'm not sure why, but I love the crochet dress for some reason. I probably would wear it as a bathing suit cover up though. I have been wanting to get crochet things lately.

That's all for now! Thanks for reading my first summer blog entry!
