DIY: Bedazzled Blackberry Case

My project.. To bedazzle my blackberry case. Here's how you can do the same.

Step 1: Purchase a clear case for your phone

It is best to use a clear case that snaps on to your phone (I could only find this fading colour case and worked it into my design). Make sure the case is a hard case no silicon or else the jewels will fall off. 

Step 2: Pick a design and your jewels

I love Jolee's Jewels which you can buy at Michael's. They are swarovski crystals and come in many different colours and sizes. Try to buy a mix of sizes.

Step 3: Other tools required

A toothpick, crazy glue, and sticky tack.

Step 4: Glueing on the jewels

The best way to glue the jewels on is by using the toothpick with a round piece of sticky tack at the end. Tack on a jewel with the shiny side up so that the flat back is exposed to add the glue to. Stick it on the case and twist the toothpick to help release the tack from the jewel. You will get the hang of it after a couple of tries. Make sure before you begin glueing, you have a game plan. In my design, I did the spots for the animal print first and then filled in with a lighter colour. You can also start from the top down. 

The Silhouette- Comfy Sweaters

Celebrity Style- Rihanna

Rihanna, love your style and your new song... We found love. Yes we did... I love that yellow jacket and fur vest. She pairs some classic pieces with some loud ones, to match her personality. And I'm loving the new brown hair. Just gorgeous.

My Croquis Silhouette - American Inspiration

I was in Chicago this past weekend to visit my friend and my favourite city. While I was there I found alot of inspiration and laughter. I bought this amazing sketch book with model silhouettes on it already. Got me so excited. I drew these looks in the car home. Each piece of clothing has a story.

Look #1- This outfit was inspired by a Levi's store we visited. The model had on a pair of corduroy jeans in a neutral tone and a light jean shirt. My friends bought these gorgeous Steve Madden boots that I tried to recreate in the drawing. And the necklace was something we saw at Nordstrom that cost about $128. And of course the new hot Louis Vuitton speedy bag with a strap. Genius idea! I think I need another one. lol

Look #2 - I bought these great navy trousers from forever21. One of my friends bought an american flag tee with some half naked girl on it. I decided to include only the flag in my drawing. And the weather was so nice this weekend, us girls were all about the jean jackets. Don't forget the Steve Madden wedges I purchased too!

There you go... my Chicago trip in 2 outfits.

I love AmURica!
