Christmas DIY's and Outfit Post

SO today I worked on 2 DIY's....one for myself and one as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. The one I make for me is a chain and ribbon necklace like the one Nic Richi wears....I found 2 18in chains at Wal Mart for $2.79 each (I attached them to make one longer necklace) then I found some black ribbon for 97cents. All I did was clasp the necklaces together to make one, then I weaved the ribbon thru the necklace. To secure it I hotglued the ends of the ribbon around the ends of the necklace. It turned out really well...even though I missed one loop in the chain hehe. It was simple and cute, I def wanna do it again with a gold chain, but they didn't have gold at walmart.

My next diy project is a Texas Tech zipup sweatshirt for my boyfriend. I know I could easily buy him one, but he has plenty of store bought ones and after a while they all tend to look the same. Since he got us tickets to the Cotton Bowl I wanted him to have something special to wear. I got a greay zip up hoodie for $10 at Wal Mart. I also got white, brown and black paint for 98cents each. Then I got some Tech fabric and some brown and white fabric. I simply cut out a square of from the fabric with the tech symbol on it and glued it on the front of the hoodie to look like a label...its cute. I haven't started the back yet, but I plan to cut a football out of the brown fabric and then embelish it with the white fabric. Then I plan to cutout the letters "Texas Tech" out of the texas tech fabric and arrange it nicely on the back....I hope he likes it :)

On to my outfit post for the day, since todays Church I dressed cute....I got to wear my new skirt, boots and tights that I havent gotten to wear yet, so I was excited :)

Time to hit the sack so I will be ready for a busy day of driving. Fun times!! But I am so ready to be home despite the fact that it is freezing there and snowing on top of that....ahhh Luckily I packed several coats and sweaters. ~Kendra~

Oh my, I fell for an impulse buy :(

Today I had a horrible moment at the mall....I saw a store that sold wigs and for some reason I was drawn to it and I thought I loved a wig, so I shelled out way to much money to get it....then when I got home less then a few hours later I tried it on again and totally had buyers remorse...I was like "Why did I buy this?" I was in a panic...I wondered if I could get my money back or what to do....so I drove back to the mall, wig in tow and asked the lady if I could get a refund, she then pointed to a small sign on the register that said no refunds, no returns and no exchanges...I was so upset I turned to leave, but I was determined, so I turned around and said with a tear in my eye are u sure there isn't anything you can do??? The lady obviously felt sorry for me, so she allowed me to exchange it for a purse...I ended up getting a pink and orange purse which is really cute, but I would've never paid as much as I did for it...ahh well...It's my splurge/opps for this paycheck. Anyways...on to better news.....heres some new things I got while shopping this past week:

Crazy Busy Finals....ahh!!!!

So instead of an outfit post today I am showing all of you 10 things that I am currently loving...So here they are:


My 10 Must Haves by Kendra ATO

First of all, I am in love with tank tops!!! I got these two striped tanks for $3 each at Walmart, but my fav place to get tanks is from Goodwill because all of theirs sale for $1.99 everyday! :) Next is a black blazer. I got mine for $1.99 at Denton Thrift. It's so versatile and is just a great addition to any wardrobe. Next are my heart earrings...I got mine at Claires when they were on sale for 50cents....Claires has a sale they do pretty often called the 10 for $5 sale and when they do I buy as much as I can...I ussually spend $10 05 $15, so I end up with tons of jewelry. Next are beaded necklaces...I have a whole drawer full of them...most come from Claires. Next is a Chanel bag...I was soooo soo lucky to find one at a local thrift store (Denton Thrift) and I'm pretty sure it's the real thing and I scored it for $8.99...wow!! Next on the list are my camel ugg boots, I know some people hate them, but they are so warm and comfy and I like em with my dark denim skinnies :) I got mine for $7 at Wal Mart. Next are scarves....I think I have at least 50 scarves....I get most of mine at Goodwill because they have them for 99cents and every time I go they have a new selection, which is great! Oh and of course every girl needs a little black dress...I scored an Issac Mizrahi for Target black dress from Denton Thrift for $1.99. Another love of mine are headbands....I have a huge ziploc bag stuffed with them. I get them from Claires, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree and Avon. My favorite one is simple and black and I got it at Dollar Tree. Last, but not least....I love tights!! Goodwill sales them for 59cents and a few days ago I scored some old navy gray tights there....I was very happy!

Well its time for me to get back to my homework.....Hope everyone had a great day! ~Kendra~

Finals week is crazy!!

So I was playing around on Polyvore and thought of 4 fun ways to wear a little grey dress and wanted to share it with all of you....so here goes :)


Little Grey Dress by Kendra ATO

#1- Put a printed Cardi over it, with grey flats and large bangles

#2- Put a long sleeved purple tee underneath, wear with jewel toned flats and bag, then add a funky beaded necklace for some more color
