DIY bottle centerpiece


Confession. Sometimes I like to do a little DIY. Nothing major, as I don't want to frustrate myself. So when I came across this simple idea on Pinterest I knew I had to give it a go. With a little party to give, I thought it would be the perfect time to attempt as I could turn out with a different centerpiece. Evidence above ^ I would say it turned out quite pretty! 


Take any glass bottles. I used some wine bottles and San Pellegrino since those are what I always have in the house.

You can choose to soak the labels off, or for another affect leave the labels on. I did both. I picked some wine that had some significance for this occasion and left the labels on those bottles. 

Pick out spray paint. I chose gold for the above. I can't wait to mix in some other colors I picked up too. Then, spray away! You can coat them as lightly or heavily as you'd like, just not too heavy that they're dripping. On the ones with the labels I went a bit lighter so they would peak through a bit. Let them dry and voilà!


I added colorful paper pinwheels to give it a pop. Simple. Fun. Beautiful!

cara accessories


I came across these colorfully chic bracelets recently. Something about the bright colors mixed with the gold metallic thread makes me love stacking them and creating new arm candy combos.

happy independence day

All tuckered out and happy the noise of the fireworks is over
Happy 4th of July! I hope you were able to find a way to stay cool and take in some refreshments. We sure have been experiencing a heatwave in these parts. I for one relaxed with M and Henrik. In the evening hours we braved the crowd and heat at the park to take in the fireworks show. Henrik is never too much of a fan of all the booms, but we enjoyed ourselves. Yay for a long weekend!
