Pinterest Project Prospects

Posted on July 12, 2013 by Rena Anne

How do you like my title alliteration?

I worked on a DIY post for Life As Mom today (coming next week) and it got me thinking of all the other projects I would like to attempt some time this summer.

1. Simple Bows – You know how much I love bows! I should make some of my own.

2. 6 Strand Flat Braid – I can’t wait to make some super glam friendship bracelets!

3. Double Braid – How cool is this? I wonder if I could do it to my hair?

4. Tie Dye with Sharpies – I have two white v-necks just waiting to be prettied up.

6. Lace Pockets On Colored Jeans – Looks super easy, but adds great new detailing to your butt. 😉

7. Bleach Pen T-Shirts – So easy. Not sure what design I would choose to bleach.

8. High-Waisted Sash Skirt – I am an amateur sewer, but I think I could manage this.

Happy Fashion Friday!

Making Pajama Pants Trendy

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Rena Anne

court 1My friend Courtney has her own style. And let me tell you…she rocks it! She showed up to my house in this outfit and I am amazed. There is no chance I would ever even think about wearing pants like that, but she did and she made them work. In fact, she confessed to me that she wanted to wear pajama pants and these seemed like a classier alternative (Note: These are REAL pants, NOT pajama pants). So the moral of the day is:

“If you want to wear something, just DO IT and WEAR IT WITH CONFIDENCE!”

Although it does help that she has this adorable, tiny little body. 😉

Mourning The Loss Of Instagram

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Rena Anne

If I were to name my favorite app of all time, it would be Instagram. Without a doubt. Who couldn’t love a place where people display beautiful pictures of their day? There’s no bickering or bashing (*cough Twitter cough*), it’s not confusing and not full of “so and so’s friend liked this picture” (I’m so sick of Facebook).

But it makes me think and mourn for a time that I didn’t have Instagram. I really wish I had had it the day I met my husband back on the beach when we were barely legal adults and I fell in love immediately with his gorgeous face. Or when we got married. How awesome is it that other people can take a picture of an event, add a hashtag, therefore making it incredibly simple to just scroll through all the pictures of your lovely day?! #jesseandrenasbigday would have been one stellar hashtag. I guess I will just have to keep those lovely memories in my head and move past my mourning. *sigh*

If you ARE on instagram, you can find me at _thegirlwiththesmile. 🙂
