2 DIYs in 1: Back to school glam keys + Cool Key Necklaces for your sorority

DIY

Hi Dolls! So today's post makes me so so excited! Because I love DIY's so so much and back to school is the best time to share a really cool one with you, my lovely readers!!
This DIY is useful for so many things like:

  1. To recycle your old keys that are not useful anymore, maybe because you changed home or something like that, you can also use your old diary keys to do this DIY or keys from old toys you used to have.
  2. To glam your keys so that you recognize your and run out the door easily in the morning.
  3. To have a cool project to do with your roommate, apartment mates or even with the other girls form your sorority just propose them this cool DIY and they will fall in love with it, plus this will be the perfect time to bond together.
Let's go ahead and get started!!

We need:
  •  keys
  • necklace or chain 
  •  nail polishes including glittery ones to glam up your life ;)
Steps to follow
  1. Paint the upper front part of your key, wait it to dry and do another coat so that the colour really shows up then do the same with the other part of the key. You can do a glittery nail polish coat once it is fully dried.
  2. Add them to your key chain or to the chain to create a cool necklace so that you expand your accessories collection and never loose your keys. Trust me living with other girls it is such a wonderful idea to carry them that easily.
  3. Make your unique add nails sticker to them and cover with clear nail polish or glue rhinestones, remember to just stay creative JUST in the upper part so that you can still use them!!

Hope you guys like it! Let me know in the comments if you like DIYs and what do you think of this one!

Andrea's Trends: Printed Jeans- Favourite Back to school Trend

Sin título #101




Hi Dolls! So today's post is about my favorite back to school trend: Printed Jeans! Is not a new trend you probably already have a pair of those jeans but its a trend that it is growing so much! So here are my tips on how to wear this trend, which can be tricky!


  1. What to invest in? First of all I think you should invest on settled prints, because you want to wear them a lot, so go for settled or go for colorful, so that you can style them much more easily. The way I see it, I would go for pastel prints or blue prints, as they imitate denim and that makes it easier to style.
  2. There are so many prints to choose which one should I go for? I recommend going for vintage floral or snake print, because these are prints who are always trending. The first one because it is becoming an entire style and way of creating fashion and the second one because animal print has been with us for a couple of season and its planning to stay. It is so versatile that designers can play with it a lot, and make it settled to create staple pieces or go crazy to design unique risky type of clothes.
  3. How to style it? I want to make a whole post about how to style printed jeans but the best advice I can give you is keep it neutral on the top and match the pants with accessories that fit not only the colors but the style of the print. For example match a floral printed pair of jeans with some rose earrings of the same color, or if it has skulls, go for skulls. 
  4. Go and get them for...  back to school, nights out, spicing your office looks, shopping days. Like I said it is such a favorite trend of mine right now because there's a pair of printed jeans to fit everybody's style, because there are ones that are barely printed, for those who are hesitant, and ones so crazily colorful for more daring people.
