DIY: Untangle that necklace

Hi everybody !
This is the story about a necklace I bought a year ago in a trip to Miami, it was supossed to be like a golden/silver braid, beautiful necklace when I bought it.  Well, to make a long story short, when I came back to El Salvador, it was all tangled ( from the packing, the trip, etc ), so tangled that I couldn't wear it and so I decided to put it away and fix it SOMEDAY...

Well, that SOMEDAY arrived last weekend haha after a year I decided to fix this necklace and it came in such a good time because I needed that combination since I'm lacking of silver necklaces ( I'm way in to gold tones lately ), so here are the pics and an idea for you and case you have once of these cases.. :)

This is the braid I was talking about... not so beautiful after all..

 

Such a mess..

 

It was supossed to look like this all over the necklace..

 

So, what I did is separate the 3 sets of  gold/silver 'lace' , just grab a tweezer and open the clamps.

 

Once the 'laces' are in order, just grab the tips in one clamp on each side.

 

 

And tada ! here is the new necklace ! It became kind of a statement necklace.

I'm thinking about pairing it with a black button blouse I just bought :).

 

 

It's never too late to do something or fix something you already have, believe me, once you do, you will feel like you have something new and pretty :)



Happy tangerine

Hello ! How is this week going so far?

I have decided to start dieting tomorrow...maybe I'm still on time to achieve that weight loss goal we all set at the beginning of the year ( every year ! ).

 

Talking about colors and fashion, I liked a trend that I spotted in last Sunday's Emmy Awards and it is the fact that many actresses wore tangerine ! don't you just love this color? I love it on my nails like I wore it for my last post about bangles here but I think it also looks beautiful in clothes.

 

Below is some inspiration from the stars: 

 

 

 

Padma Lakshimi from Top Chef. Monique L'huillier.

How does she stay thin working on that show?!

 

Lindy Pulsipher from True blood.

 

 

Nancy O'Dell from Entertainment Tonight. I love this ombre style dress.

 

 

Cat Deeley - from So you Think You Can Dance. Tadashi Shoji gown.

 

 

What do you think of this color? Do you think it suits everyone? I think it's really pretty and it can give a pop of color to the outfits.

 

Here are my pics for tangerine accessories as well as clothes !! I'm in love with this color, next shopping mission will be buying some TANGERINE ! ;)

 

 

 

 

It's good to open our minds to new dress colors and step out a little from the neutrals. Here is my inspiration for tangerine dresses :

 

   

 

 



Love Bangles

Hello ! How was your weekend? Hope it was great !

I decided to go do some shopping over the weekend and found some insane bangles, I fell in love the minute I saw them.  Colors are black and gold and  the set has 4 bangles, the thing I loved the most is that it includes one with spikes which are so trending right now.

When I wear bangles, I try to keep it a little low key with the necklace since I want all the attention to be in my embellished wrist :)  Hope you like them: P.S: they's from Pull & Bear.

 

Wear them altogether to make a statement.

Love the black and gold combination.

Gorgeous and Elegant.

 

You can combine 2 of them or 3 or wear just 1 of them, it will still look great !
