{Bedazzled Week} The Earrings

 
Vintage heart earrings- The Pretty Secrets

The 80's/early 90's are alive and well in my heart, evidenced by these over-the-top, yet majorly awesome vintage earrings from The Pretty Secrets. I felt like a total glamazon wearing these bad boys, and kind of want to drape myself in blinged-out jewels all the time now... I bet a young Cindy Crawford would be proud. xx

{Bedazzled Week} Embellished Cap DIY

Welcome back for more bejewelled action! Today we're jazzing up a basic black cap for some added impact. This is one of the easiest projects you'll ever try, so grab some jewels and your trusty glue, because we be-dazzlin' ladies!

 
SUPPLIES: 
     - Baseball cap (I sourced mine from Michaels)
     - Flat-backed jewels (also from Michaels)
     - Strong adhesive


Start by pre-arranging your gems into your desired pattern. Once you know where everything should go, start gluing down the embellishments, pressing down firmly on each gems for about 30 seconds to adhere.

 
Let the gems dry fully (I would recommend at least an hour before use), then take that new cap of yours for a spin... Holy chic!

Well friends, no matter how you cut it, all things bejewelled are back and in a big way. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that fashion-philes the world over are dusting off their trusty Bedazzlers from childhood (although props to you if you are!), but more and more items are popping up with these eye-catching embellishments. As a serious 80's child, I couldn't resist putting together a theme week dedicated to the trend, so please bare with me as we embark on an entire week (squeel!) dedicated to all things bejewelled.

First up — the sweatshirt. Already a mega-trend this year (remember this post?), it's only natural that sparkly jewels should find their way onto these hyped-up items as well. And naturally yours truly is all about it... what a sucker.

Join me for a week of bedazzled goodness, including subtle ways to incorporate the trend into your look (yes, surprisingly I'm capable of that) and a super easy DIY that you just have to try! xx
