Spring Vacation MUST Haves!

As the winter weather fades out and the tulips begin to bloom, everyone is craving some sun! This means that it is time for vacations to places where it's 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! I have hand picked 5 pieces of clothing from Sweet Life that are must haves for your spring vacations! They all are extremely versatile, which is great when packing light is a must! 

1. This Alternative Maxi is great for day to night looks! It comes in a bunch of colors and is so soft! You can wear it to the beach over a swim suit and then to dinner by throwing a cute cropped top over it. It's cute with wedges or a pair of strappy sandals.


2. This leather Alternative handbag is perfect to throw everything in that you need for a day out! You can take it to the beach or out into town. It's a beautiful color and extremely soft!

3. Everyone needs a great pair of jean shorts and these Hudson jean shorts are GREAT! They are the perfect length for any age and the dark color will look good with any top you pair with it!


4. These Seychelles Wedges are so cute! If you are going out for the night or are going to be on your feet these wedges are perfect, they are extremely comfortable! They look cute with dresses or skinny legged jeans.


5. Last but not least are these Free People bandeaus. They both are great colors for the spring and are perfect layered under tank tops or dresses. I love the layered look, but when the weather is hot you don't want to have layers of clothing on. A great alternative is to layer a bandeau under your tops!


Here is what the bandeau looks under a basic tank!
I hope you all have fun and sunny vacations! xoxo, Savanna

DIY Neon Bracelet

In November we blogged about how much we loved mixing and stacking tons of bracelets, well this trend is still hot! Here is a step by step guide to make your own bracelet to add to the stack. And make it neon to incorporate the 2012 trend!

For this project you will need...

• 1.5 yards of waxed linen cord
• 20 - 30 size 8/o seed beads
• a 10-13 mm two hole button
• scissors

First cut the waxed linen cord into two 26" pieces. Fold the two pieces directly in half creating two parallel loops.

Tie a knot about half an inch down from the top of the loop. Next, cut off the forth string at the bottom of the knot, so there is three strings left that are equal in length. 

Now start braiding the three strings. After about an inch or so start braiding in the beads. Start with the farthest string to the left and thread a bead on and crossover that string. 

Continue braiding and adding beads with every string. 

Continue this for about an inch and a half.

 Make sure you measure all this according to your wrist size!

Once you have finished threading and braiding in the beads, just continue a normal braid for about an inch or so. Once you have finished that tie a knot at the end.

Next, thread the button onto the end of the bracelet. Two strings go into one hole of the button and the other string goes into the second hole of the button. Once the button is on tie it and cut of the excess string. 

The button acts as the clasp for this bracelet.

Here is the finished product! I made four different bracelets using different bright, neon colors, they are perfect to stack with my other bracelets! 

Have fun being crafty!
