DIY Fall/Winter Projects

Fall always makes me want to do some type of DIY project. I'm not sure why because I'm not a very crafty person, but for some reason when fall rolls around my brain goes, "I'm left-hand, I'm creative; let's do this!" This is why at home I have a couple hundred dollars worth of jewelry making supplies and crochet supplies. I figure, "Hey, you know what's cheaper than buying jewelry and scarves? MAKING jewelry and scarves." Somewhere in the back of my head I convince myself that this will become a lucrative hobby that I enjoy.

So far, my skill level has not left beginner. But, once again, the weather is cold and I find myself taking on new projects. Fingers crossed that I actually stick to them, because I would really like to be one of those people who go, "Oh this? It's just something I made when I was bored." IN YOUR FACE!

Here are the four projects that I am going to undertake. The links take you to the DIY:

If you've been following my blog then you know that I've been trying to curb my spending on things I don't need. Instead, I decided to put together a list of the things in my closet that I am loving the most right now. Above you can see all of the things that are currently in rotation in my closet. Here's the list:

• Steve Madden suede black boots (they make me sound like a cowboy)
• A comfy and light striped infinity scarf from Gap
• My Cole Haan keyhole sunglasses (they make me feel like I own a yacht)
• Julep nail polish in Coco 
• Metallic Sperry Topsiders (wanted these for years, YEARS!)
• An orange studded Nine West watch
• Gorjana & Griffin Bali Bead breast cancer bracelet
• Pop Beauty lip gloss (sticky but a beautiful color)
• Olive & Oak plaid shirt (I caved and finally got one)
• Melie Bianco Elizabeth bag (great for work and the gym)
• Jane Tran thin metallic bobby pins 
• Lucky Brand dark wash skinny jeans

Fall Must Haves

I have a definite shopping problem. I NEED way too many things that I quickly realize I didn't need, I just wanted. But, this is my definitive list of things that I am loving this fall and definitely want one variation of or another.
