DIY Color-Blocking Clutch by Lauren Conrad

Hello to all of my wonderful and loyal fans. I've been away on hiatus for very long now because I started a new job and I wanted to give it everything I had and, frankly, I was way too tired to do any blogging.

Now that I've settled in, I wanted to welcome you all back by showing you this Color-blocking DIY Clutch video by Lauren Conrad's Crafty Creations. To my surprise, I found this browsing the web and it spurred a revival in my interest in arts & crafts once more!!

I'm so thankful that many of you have stuck around and this blog has gotten infinitely more popular than when I left it 3 months ago. I'm going to be picking up with the posts again and hope you will stay tuned for more wonderful beauty, craft and lifestyle ideas from yours truly.

New Jewelry Retail Website

Hi guys, sorry I've been MIA for a few days now, but it's been for good reason: I've been working extremely hard on this website http://www.bonanza.com/booths/LethalGlam where I'm looking forward to selling my creations! Sometimes I just can't help it and I design jewelry, all types too - bracelets, earrings, and necklaces in various styles, so I decided to try and turn that into a business. I hope everyone enjoys it and here's a quick sneak peek at some of the pieces up for sale:

The shop is definitely at a lower price point and it sticks to the motto I live by where you shouldn't need to have lots of money to look fabulous! I'll be putting up new pieces all the time, there's currently 79 lots up for sale so please check it out. I'll also take commissions for what you'd like to see or custom pieces!

Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale

Full-skirted dress, sale price $95

This is an exciting sale if you're a girl that loves her cute and comfy panties and bras, as well as any of their clothes (which are remarkably good quality). Victoria's Secret is having their huge blowout semi-annual sale and you can get panties for only $2.99 a pair and bras for only $14.99.

Here are the current promos they have going on that I found at retailmenot.com, upon checkout enter the following codes so you can receive the bonuses:

Coupon Code: 299PANTY and any clearance panties will only be $2.99, expires 1/16/12
Coupon Code: VS100 for Free Shipping on order of $100, expires 1/22/12
Coupon Code: SWIM125 for Free Swim Tote with $125 purchase, expires 1/22/12
Coupon Code: 20DRESSVS for Extra 20% off already reduced styles for total savings of up to 70%

If you ever plan on getting anything from Victoria's Secret, I suggest doing so now or waiting until Black Friday comes around again this year, otherwise things are a lot more overpriced than they are now. A bunch of their dresses are on sale (almost all of them in fact) so if you're looking for something for a wedding, or a sweater dress, or a multi-way dress, you've found it on here!

Here are some of my favs:

Buckle-wrap sweaterdress, Clearance $49.99 and extra 20% off with 20DRESSVS

The Multi-way dress, Clearance 49.99 and extra 20% off with 20DRESSVS

Georgette Halter dress, Clearance $69.50

Jason Wu for Target Collection Lookbook

From fashion prodigy, Jason Wu, discovered by most of America and the world after Mrs. Obama wore his frothy white gown to the inauguration ball,comes a collection inspired by 'An American Girl in Paris' for his Target debut.
