Floral Crown Floral Dress

on a whim Saturday after brunch with my bff at Peels I headed into Forever 21. BTW...Peels has the best shrimp and grits I've ever tasted in my life and I am somewhat of a shrimp and grits connoisseur. Not to mention Johnny Depp walked by while we were waiting for our table. Yes he is as gorgeous in person as he is on TV. Yum. But back to Forever 21...I needed a good pair of denim shorts and knew they'd have some for less than $20. I got the shorts and on the way to the counter scooped up this dress too that I knew would be perfect for a lazy Memorial Day of walking around and eating.

Dress: Forever 21 | Flats: Urban Outfitters | Flower Crown: DIY'd | Lips: Stila Fiery Lipstain

i'm really trying to stock up on more easy breezy dresses like this. its nice to just have something to throw on and go. now im going in search of a very delicious cheeseburger and perhaps a hotdog too. i also would like a tall cup of lemonade and perhaps some baked beans. lol. I love food.

everyone in the states have a rocking memorial day!

i've always wanted to be the kind of girl who could rock short as all hell shorts and biker

boots and look effortlessly cool and slightly mysterious.

Well thanks to Melissa at Created by Fortune

my dreams have come true. I have the most badass studded shorts of all time.

Song: Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra

here's a quick outfit video to get a 3-D sense of these amazing shorts.

Boots: Dolce Vita via Loehmanns | Jacket: Dallin Chase via Loehmanns | Sunnies: Ray Ban

The studding on these shorts is nothing less than superb and I know what it takes to stud something. Remember that DIY Blogger Meetup I attended last year and my fingers almost bleed studding some jeans. It really takes time and dedication.

love the little gun too.

bang bang.

DIY or Die or atleast till your thumbs bleed

I attended a DIY event recently with some NYC Fashion Bloggers Meetup Members which was my first ever! I have only DIY'd a necklace before but never clothes. Yall know I can't sew and stapled these shorts when I wanted to alter them lol.

I grabbed some old black denim jeans from H&M and a red clutch I never wear to DIY.

my thumbs felt like i smashed them in a door afterwards...but i really love my bada$$ looking studded jeans and purse! Thanks to Studsandspikes.com for providing all the studs and spikes!

have you all ever DIY'd something?
