Avengers Makeup Eyeshadow

I think this falls under being able to be a nerd AND look stunning, at the same time.
Jangsara is a makeup blog I came across for the first time. Thank you pinterest! She has tons of really unique looks, as well as some more neutral pieces for those who just need some eyeshadow tips. 

This serious just blows my mind though. I've loved all the Avengers movies. I will admit, I never read the comics. I was a book girl, and had it in my head growing up that something with so many photos just couldn't be as good to read as something with no images.Since the movies started coming out, I've seen them all, and read up on many of the characters. These looks would be perfect to wear out to the next flick, for a Halloween party, or just to support your favorite character.
She even gives links to each character step by step and tells you what products were used. Sweet!

While hunting, some other super hero pieces came up as well.

Jewelry DIY - Crafting your own Accessories

I wanted to share some jewelry DIYs, that are a little different than the more popular ones floating around right now. Here are some more unique ones I've come across recently.

 

Make your own colored pencil jewelry over at DesignMom

 

A simple ribbon and pearl necklace at Flax&Twine 

 Lego jewelry on Instructables

What is your favorite piece of jewelry you have made so far?

Outfit 6/8 Stripes and Fire Shoes

 

 

 

Can you tell from the first photo these pants are getting a bit too big on me? Most would say that's a good thing, but really... when you don't have the money to go blow on jeans, 

going through them so quickly is a little of a pain! haha.
Jeans are Amethyst brand from Debs. $7. Cheap, but you can tell. I can only wear these with shirts long enough to cover the front zipper, which falls down often. ;-)

 Shirt is GirlTalk, which I picked up at Buffalo Exchange while in Dallas.

 

 

Shoes:  Steve Madden

Bracelets: cheap kids beads (I have some stocked in every color for stacking)
Orange vintage bangle: thrifted

Ring: Craft fair. I wish I still had the business card, they sell on Etsy. (you can find something similar here)

Necklace: Thrifted. 

Last Thursday was my day off work to go pick my mom up to hang out. We went downtown thrifting, out to eat, and a few other fun places. This necklace was only $12! Completely perfect condition.

I absolutely HAD to have it. The beads are glass, the pendant is metal, and it's heavy.

Just now I went looking to find out how old this is. I know its vintage, but wasn't sure how old. Turns out that this $12 find is worth somewhere between $80-$120. bahaha. I scored!

KJL for Avon.
You can find a similar one for sale here.

Add a little Whiskey to your Life

 

(found via pinterest with no link. aweee.)

Cherry Apple Whiskey Sour Popsicles

3 cups cherries

1 large green apple

1 lime 

1 cup whiskey

1/2 cup sweet and sour mix

Pit cherries, set aside. Peel away apple and lime skin and cut fruit into quarters. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until it is pureed. Mixture will be thick. Pour mixture into popsicle forms and freeze for about 2 hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles, run hot water on outside of the mold for about 2-3 seconds.
