Solder On

I posted earlier about going to an art show called Art Amongst The Ruins. Well, while there, I saw a woman with ammonite earrings. They were spectacular! I asked her where she got them and she directed me to a store in my home town called Very Sheri. Right after the show I buzzed down there. I didn't find any earrings, but I did find the fossils themselves all cut and polished. I had to buy them and decided to try and make my own earrings out of them. Well, they were a success!

Art Amongst the Ruins

I ventured to an art show on the weekend. It was amazing! The venue was on a residential property that used to house a mill. So there were artist booths around this wooden hallow with a raging river in the background and the foundation of a stone mill. Very pretty and enchanting. I only snapped a few pics.

This stone mosaic was done by the hosts daughter.

I bought this amazing hand-blown glass. The studio is located in Kingston, so I'm going to go down and get the rest of the colours to make a set. They are quite beautiful.

Tee Dress-up

Want to feel laid back and comfy in your style but don't want to look too casual? I came across an article on InStyle.com about dressing up your tee, and here are the ones I agree with:

1. Add a vest

(Beyonce goes with a Balmain vest)

2. Tie on a Scarf:

(Nicole adds a Pucci scarf)

3. Layering on a jacket:

4. Wear a statement necklace:
