Inspiration:Crystals
I have recently become interested in crystals, from their appearance to their healing powers. Have you ever taken the time to really examine a crystal up close? There's so much detail & it takes a great eye to be able to draw one, let alone paint one.
I one day will master a drawing of a beautiful crystal. Practice makes permanent right? Here are some photos of crystals & crystal drawings/paintings that are currently lighting up my soul.(click the photo for source)

Oh yeah, I have this blog.
What do you do when life takes over?
You neglect your blog :(. Sorry I haven't been posting for awhile now. I'm actually about to start a new blog, a personal style one to be exact. But don't worry, this blog will still be around.
I want this blog to be focused more on art, music & my DIY projects. My other one will be more about "fashion"..you know, outfit postings & thrift store goodies.
Thank you to those who have been visiting my blog & checking out older postings. I will be up and running with everything shortly. Sit tight :)

DIY Studded Denim Vest
Another quick project, nothing too special.
I've had a denim jacket in my closet that I got from the thrift store for over a year now & I have yet to wear it. There was something about the sleeves that felt a little bulky to me. So, if there's something you don't like about an article of clothing..fix it!
I decided to cut the sleeves off & make myself a simple studded denim vest.
You can buy studs from ebay, I made the mistake in not paying attention to where the studs were sourced from. I had to wait a month for my studs to come in the mail because I ordered them from..CHINA! Oops! Well here's the final product, & an outfit post too!

Oh! I must say that I also have this sick obsession with going to the thrift store, you can find so many goodies there! I go to my local one about every other Sunday and always get a bunch of stuff. I want to start looking for more homeware trinkets for my room.
If you follow me on instagram(_Jessicatee) you've already seen my thrift store finds. I'll probably make it a regular posting on this blog..if I remember. But almost everything in this outfit is from the thrift store.

Music..Tuesday
Dropped the ball again with the music monday. Sorry guys!
Why is it that artists from the UK are so freakin' talented!? There must be something in the water... There are wonderfully talented people here don't get me wrong..but there's just something special with UK artists.
If you have seen the new Microsoft commercial then you were probably wondering whose soulful & powerful voice you were listening to in the background.
It's none other than Alex Clare! Once I heard that song I was so pressed to find out who it was. Everyone should definitely buy his album, I love him.
Now I must stalk him to see when he's going to be doing a US tour.

Bitchin' New Boots
You guys already know how I feel about some of the stuff you see on free people's website that you can easily make yourself right?
Here's another BIG one!
Here's another BIG one!
Check out these boots from free people .
I personally LOVE those boots, but would you honestly pay $438 for them? Oh wait, they got marked down to $189. Well my answer is still NOPE!
I saw this tutorial on a blog awhile back and I finally decided to give it a try myself. It's pretty easy too. You can either take a pair of cowboy boots that you already own, or just hit up your local thrift store. I got a pair for $17. Then buy a bunch of western belts, these cost me between $2-$4.
Cut down the middle of the back of the boots.
Fold down the edges.
Then wrap some belts around to your liking. You can use glue if you want.
TADA!!
Free People price-$438/$189
My price-$23
THE END!

Music Monday-Tennis
Happy music monday!
Have you ever had that moment when you hear a song while you're out shopping or working and you absolutely need to know who sings it? Like it festers in your head all day, but when you get home you can only remember like 3 words to the song? That was my issue when I was trying to figure out who sang this song at my job. The lyrics were so heartfelt that it wasn't too hard to find out who sang it. When you google 'Take Me To Heaven With You', you can't go wrong.
Today's artist spotlight will be on Tennis! I heard some of their music while at work & I love their song 'Take Me To Heaven'. The lyrics are a little sad(not in a bad way), but there's something about it that I really like.
