I’ve been mighty quiet around these parts lately. I could pretend it was because I’m busy getting ready for our annual mini vacation next week, but that would be utter bullshit. The truth is, I haven’t even started thinking about getting ready for it—which is making me itch a little now that I am thinking about it.

Luckily for me (and you?) I just put together a guest post for the thredUP blog where I shared a printable list of ten pieces that can get you through an entire week’s worth of fun and sun (yes, really). I even made it printable, for anyone who wants to feel all official and physically check off their list.

For more info and a sample wardrobe that’s completely interchangeable, head over to the thredUP blog… and then come back here and tell me what you think! 😉

Is it doable or have I gone straight up cray cray?

You know what I love almost as much as a handmade gift? A gift that does double duty. Combine handmade with something that can be used in multiple ways and this girl’s universe is totally blown—which is kind of why I thought I’d show you how to make a wrap bracelet that doubles as a necklace.

If you’re anything like me, an accessory that can be used in multiple ways will make you feel a little slick and like a total bad ass. Sprinkle that feeling around a little bit and use this tutorial to make a gift for your momma.

For a little bow added on top, Olivia Lin of Atiliay was sweet enough to design a few jewelry tags you can use to package your pretty up all professional like.
