DIY Time: Kate Spade Inspired Glitter Stud Earrings

I have been eyeing these Kate Spade studs and I thought it would be a fun DIY project.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to recreate these amazing glitter studs: 

Supplies Needed:

Glitter

Studs (found mine at Target for $7.99)

Bowl or plate 

Brushes

Mod Podge (I have pictured, the matte but I would recommend the gloss)

Not pictured (clear coat nail polish)

Step 1: Use a brush and paint the mod podge on the surface of the studs.

Step 2: Dip the studs in glitter. You can do this a couple times to ensure you cover the entire surface

of the studs. I used a brush to fill in the empty spaces.

Step 3: Let it dry. You can seal it with another coat of mod podge. Since I only had the matte version. I used some clear coat nail polish. This is to ensure the glitter stays put. 

Step  4: Tah Dah! You have finished! Took me all of 10 minutes to create! 

The Kate Spade studs can be purchased here for $38. It cost me $10 to create my replica.

Oliver Twist Pants: Look 1

This week I had some fun with Red Clover styling a pair of one their new arrivals, the Oliver Twist Pants.
I don't own a pair of olive bottoms so it was a fun trying to pick out different looks! These pants are the perfect fall color and pairs nicely with other deep hues like mustard and cranberry. For the next three days I'll show you a few different looks I came up with!

Red Clover has a local store front in downtown Savannah but they also have an online boutique that ships  worldwide. I love that I can find all different styles, from classic, bohemian, to edgy and modern. 

I spent some time in the store and there's so much to love. The Red Clover team were very friendly and were nice enough to let me take over one of their dressing rooms. 

Look 1: 

For this first look, I paired these pants with a mustard sweater and a faux fur vest. I wore it with taupe wedge booties.

Hi there! I'm back styling Red Clover's Oliver Twist Pants again! This time I added riding boots and a graphic sweater! I love this look. I like the way the pants billow out a bit so its not so fitted in the boots. Makes me feel like I need to be horse back riding!
