What I Wore Is Back

It's been a while since I shared a What I Wore post, but that's all changing starting today. 

I enjoy fashion, and sharing my fun finds, and often my handmade accessories. If you have an item you would like me to review in a What I Wore post, please email me at mindiehilton@gmail.com. 

What I Wore Goes A Little Glam Rock, Cosmetics, and Eden Fantasys Review

First let me apologize for the crummy picture. Second let me say, I am feeling sort of sexy in my new purple top from edenfantasys.com.  Yes they carry clothes too! I know whenever I think of EdenFantasys my mind wonders to pleasures not mentioned normally on Bacon Time, such as sex toys.  I own a few clothing items from Eden Fantasys, and every item has been a favorite in my closet.  Their clothes are made very well, and offer a flattering fit, even to us women with a few curves.  I am particularly excited about the fit on this purple top with a glam rock vibe.  It accentuates my curves without feeling clingy in the wrong places.

They also offer beauty and body products at Eden Fantasys. As I age, it is becoming more and more important for me to take care of my skin.  I am a firm believer that makeup should not take up a lot of your time.  Sometimes I only have a minute or two to get ready.  I always reach for mascara and lipstick. The two only take a seconds to apply, and can make all the difference. 

I can't wait to try Eden Fantasys Pleasantly Paffuto Lip Gloss. Lots of folks have reviewed the product at Eden Fantasys, and it's been given lots of praise. It provides loads of shine, while slightly plumping lips, and is described as having great durability in wear. As we age, our lips lose some plumpness, it's nice to know that Eden Fantasys can help us ladies have a beautiful smile. 

I currently own two different flavors in the Dona Plumping Lip Balm from Eden Fantasys. I love that I can apply it anytime for a plumping moist effect to my lips, or wear it under my favorite shade of lipstick. I highly recommend this lip balm, available in several different flavors. 

Well that's what I have been wearing, what have you been up to?  Please share at our Anything Goes linky every Friday to Monday.

Every week I try and share a "What I Wore" post however this week, it's not happening. You see I have been madly prepping for my 4th of July craft show.  I don't think we need to see pics of me in my robe or sweatpants, so instead I thought I would share my fabulous Pinterest closet.  It's so much better then my real closet.  My Pinterest closet is not limited by space or cash. If I had my Pinterest closet in real life, I would fit right in with the cast of Sex and the City. I could drink martini's with Carrie Bradshaw, and stare at my stunning shoes all day, while talking about Mr. Big. The best part is, those heals don't even hurt my feet in Pinterest land.

I am already looking forward to Fall so I can pull my boots out again. This top looks like it could hide a multitude of sins or rather muffin tops, but what am I worrying about, my body is perfect in Pinterest land.

Yes in my Pinterest closet, I match each outfit to the perfect shade of polish, and guess what, my nails never chip! That's because there is no house work or dishes to do in Pinterest land.

Yes just about all of my outfits in my Pinterest  closet come with the perfect tote. You see in Pinterest land I am always headed out someplace amazing.  This little collection is what I will be wearing on the 4th of July, at least in Pinterest land. 

Well I could share a hundred more stunning collections from my Pinterest closet, if I only had the time.  If you would like to see more of what I would like to be wearing, then follow

 My Style Pinboard on Pinterest.

So what's in your Pinterest closet, oh no, are we wearing the same outfit in Pinterest land today? ;)

Please share your style, and more, at our Anything Goes linky, every Friday to Monday. To see where I party, Check out my LINKY LOVE page.

What I Wore In San Francisco and Magnetic Polish

As many of you might already know, I was in San Francisco all last week. I forgot to take pics of what I wore each day, but did manage to take these.

Tutorial Interchangeable Beaded Bracelets, Necklaces, or Anklets

My pictures today are going to show you how I made an interchangeable beaded bracelet. You can apply these same techniques to make an anklet or necklace, you will simply use more beads, chain, and jewelry wire when you do.  I love making interchangeable jewelry because you save money using less jewelry chain, and take up less space in your jewelry box. 

Materials Used:

What I Wore New Ross Fashion

Our small town recently opened  a Ross, our first discount store!  It has been so nice not having to drive an hour to Reno to find some fabulous deals.  I love the great prices and trendy items you can find at Ross.  I love my two most recent Ross purchases, pictured above, a long tank dress, only $6.99, and lace top, only $9.99.  You know I love bargain shopping, so what about you?  Do you Ross?

PS, I had fun on PicMonkey with their new collage feature!

PSS, I don't know why it looks like I am dancing in that bottom right picture, I promise I wasn't dancing in my front yard.  My neighbors probably already think I am crazy, I don't need to make matters worse.

PSSS, yes I am wearing pig tails, it's almost Summer, and I can do what I want LOL!

Female High School Graduation Gift DIY K.I.T. Necklace

I made this vintage phone necklace recently.  I am calling it my K.I.T. necklace.  I think it would make the sweetest gift for a female high school graduate headed off to college. It would be a constant pretty reminder for her to keep in touch with family.  I will be auctioning this one off soon at Tophatter with an opening minimum bid of only $7.  Here is all you need to make one yourself.

Spring Inspired Jewelry I Have Been Making

I know it's the middle of Winter, but I have found myself craving Spring.  I have added a few new items to my shop, and I thought I would share.  I think this colorful bracelet would be fun to wear in the Spring. I don't know why, but I always seem to wear my pearls around Easter time. It is made of almost 100 real pearls, on a coil band (that should fit most), and is adorned with a Tibetan silver photo frame charm, "made with love" lock, and key.
