moving day and instagrams.

I'm moving today. It still hasn't hit me yet.
probably cause I literally started packing at midnight last night.
I'm about half way done so hopefully I can finish up this morning!
(wish me luck!)

I've been super lucky this past week to do so many fun things before I go!
My sweet best friend planned out a 3-day fun fest..yeah,
we went to the zoo, the lake, an amusement park, played water games,
went to a super quaint little market for dinner
saw 4 movies, one at the drive-in!
(he's a film geek..and is slowly making me one too!)
Yeah it was too wonderful.

And then on top of that my parents took me and the little brother to San Diego!
We went to the beach, sea world, the San Diego zoo, and made an over night pit stop at Las Vegas!

needless to say...my instagram was blowing up.
(don't worry, I know am limiting myself via instagram.)

p.p.s. my birthday is in 8 days. I'm freakin out! 

Peter Pan Collar DIY

I'm not a very fashion forward person. 

I find I catch onto trends after they've been around for a while...

hence my new obsession with peter pan collar's.

I think they are too adorable, and I find them way easy to make.

(I've made like 5 no big deal.)

I thought I'd share with you my new favorite craft! I've been making 2 kinds? A basic one..takes about 7 minutes tops. And a sequin one, which takes about 20-30 minutes, but it's too easy! 

Basic Peter Pan Collar

What you need?

A pattern ( i got mine from honestly wtf and cut around the scallops)

A piece of felt

Scissors

Ribbon

Hot glue (i pictured fabric glue..then changed my mind)

and a button

1. Lay down your pattern and cut out the 2 sides to your collar.

2. Hot glue your button to your pieces of felt
(to hold them together, and to be cutesy. )

3. Cut a small slit in each side of your peter pan collar and feed the ribbon through.
tie it in a knot, for extra reinforcement, and glue it down to the back of the collar.
(i missed some pictures..sorry!)
I used one piece of ribbon and did this to the other side, then cut the ribbon in half.
I used a rather long piece of ribbon too, so that I can adjust the length to fit whatever shirt i'm wearing!

AND YOUR DONE!

Sequin Peter Pan Collar
What you need?
Same things as before
and a spool of sewn sequins!
(I got mine at Hobby Lobby for like 2.00$ and only needed 1 to finish this collar.)

1. After you've cut out your pattern I just would put down an inch or two of hot glue
and lay down the string of sequins.
(I left a bit of felt un-sequined, so I could attach the ribbon)

2. Glue, and glue, and glue then do the other side!
I found the string of sequins were very flexible, I never had to cut the string, it would just fold over!

AND YOU'RE DONE!

I hope you can understand that all! I'm still no tutorial expert!

but I hope more you make one! They're way great!

Let me know what you think and what you come up with! :)

a room for my bath

How many days til I move? Lets just say I can count it on one hand.

I'm excited, but the nervousness is starting to overpower all my feelings about it.

I keep telling myself that I get my own bathroom.

(It's the thought that keeps me going.)

in order to keep the happy feelings

I thought I'd share with you all the bathroom decor I've been obsessing over.

(thanks for occupying my time, urban outfitters)

1. Corsage Shower Curtain  2. Tooth Brush and Soap Dishes 

3.Bed of Roses Bath Mat 4. Mustache Bandages

p.s. if you aren't aware my birthday is coming up.. wink wink.

p.p.s. jk, but seriously. 

The world of sea's

i went to sea world today.
and despite the feeling in my gut
i touched a manta ray..and a dolphin..and a penguin.
it was a super wonderful time.
i even came back through with a sunburn.
(and some halter tan lines that are way cute..not.)

since i'm on vaycay, i put the best friend in charge of music monday.
here's his pick.
i hope you like this song as much as i do now.

enjoy

xo, rach

p.s. shocker of the week? if you knew my sleeping habits you'd be shocked too..
I have not taken a nap in like 10 days. I'm amazed. trying hard to keep it going.
p.p.s. i'm turning 20 on the 14th. :)
