{DIY} Marc Jacobs-Inspired Ball Necklace...

With more things on my calendar and to-do list this week than I care to count, I was in the mood for the quickest, easiest possible DIY... Enter the ball necklace. When I saw this simple yet oh-so chic necklace from Marc by Marc Jacobs, I realized that I could put something similar together in five minutes flat. Sound doable? Here's what you've got to do!



1. Cut a vibrant embroidery thread into a 16" piece.
2. Take a crimp bead and tightly secure it to the end of the thread.
3. Repeat on the other end of the thread.
4. Add three medium sized ball beads to the thread. I chose these white ceramic ones, but the sky's the  limit here friends.
5. Add jump rings to each crimp bead.
6. Secure a lobster clasp to one of the jump rings and throw on that shiny new necklace of yours!

{Weekend Update} The Farmer's Market...

This weekend marked my official departure from shift work, because for the first time in a very long time, I had the entire weekend off! So what's a girl to do with all that extra time on her hands, you ask? Well, let me tell you: I visited the farmer's market and our local Fringe Festival, saw friends, cleaned house and � best of all � relaxed... What a concept! Top that off with HBO Sunday and some freshly manicured nails, and I'm one seriously happy girl.

Happy Monday, lovelies! Hope you all had fab weekends... xx

Souvenirs...

Trips are always fun, but one of the best parts of traveling hands down is killing time at the duty free... I had a six hour layover when I came home from Greece, so I did what any girl in my position would do � shop! The Zara at Heathrow was aaa-mazing, so naturally I picked up a couple of things, including this kick ass necklace. I knew I wanted it the moment I saw it, while the Marc by Marc Jacobs cross body was a no-brainer. I've always wanted one of these, so my sleep-deprived mind insisted that I scoop one up right then and there. Blame it on the jet lag.

Happy Monday, lovelies! xx

Mall Rats...

Having had the day off yesterday, I decided to go on a lovely shopping/coffee date with a new friend...  We enjoyed sinfully tasty treats (you're the worst, Starbucks!) and took a quick boo around the mall, which resulted in me buying a pair of mint jeans at Zara (finally!) and my first-ever Pandora bracelet, sans charms... Hey, one step at a time, right?

What did you guys get up to this Easter long weekend? Fill me in! xx

Ocean Dreaming...

Oh the ocean, isn't it glorious? Living in Edmonton, I always miss it so... Luckily for Mr. AIF, Meows and myself, we got to go home to Victoria/Vancouver for a glorious week filled with food, family and rainy-day fun. Rainy, of course, being the operative word. It pretty much poured the entire trip, leaving our feet constantly cold and our hair noticeably frizzy... Not pretty.

Luckily we did end up having one nice day, which was eagerly spent traipsing around town, trusty camera in tow... And with nature's greatest backdrop at our disposal, it sure felt good to be home.

Happy Monday, lovelies! xx

What I Wore:

Mr. AIF had to go to Toronto this past weekend, so I was left alone to my own devices... In other words, sweet treats, non-stop Golden Girls reruns and a much-needed nail painting sesh� What can I say, I lead a glamorous life.

Happy Monday, lovelies! xx
