DIY post: scoop hemline

So this one is a quicky! Not too hard! And it's an instant slimmer! Wahoo! 

If your hemline is straight across, it's a horizontal line. It can break yourself, cut you in half, but if your hemline is curved, it draws the eye upward, instantly slimming you. : )

What you'll need: 

T-shirt (I happens to make this one!)

Scissors

Step 1.

Get a t-shirt.

Step 2.

Lay flat.

Step 3.

Fold in half. 

Seams together. 

Step 4.

Cut a rounded line around the hem. 

Ta-daaaaa! It's an instant boost in confidence with a slimmer looking physique! ; )

Happy Friday! Love you! -Ryn

DIY Friday: Gym Tee pt.2

Here is part dos of the gym tee! I couldn't just leave it plain, I needed something more! So I gathered my supplies and images and totally transformed a plain white tank onto a whole other level! 

What you need: 

Computer and images of your choice

Transfer paper (you can get a pack at an office supply store) 

Iron

Step 1. Find an image & quote you like ( I used Audrey Hepburn) 

Step 2. Print out the image on a sheet of transfer paper, full size. Also if you're printing out letters or quotes, you'll need to flip the quote, so it's backwards.

Step 3. Cut the excess of the transfer away. Center it on your tee. Image face down on the t-shirt. 

Step 4. Set iron on medium-high heat. Iron the transfer paper, for about 10-30 seconds in circular motion. Check a corner of it to see if its sticking. 

Step 5. Let cool for a minute. Then peel the backing off. 

Step 6. Ta-da! You have a super cute workout tee!!!

Love y'all, Ryn

Style find: a crisp white V-neck

I had these perfect v-neck tees from my all-time favorite store that shut it's doors a few years back... 
I was so devastated over it too, because every time I would go in the store, and tried things on, everything would fit me like a glove, doesn't always happen off the rack... : ( The name of the store was Martin + Osa. LOVED that store! and those two white tees I bought are so soft & luscious! but regretfully I finally had to retire them to my PJ's... boo hoo!


V-necks are vital for your wardrobe. The ultimate staple! You can never have too many white tees! It's an easy way to pair with bootcut jeans, skinnies, slacks, skirts, wide-leg pants, maxi-skirts, boyfriend jeans, jackets, blazers, cardigans.

One thing about a white v-neck, is it's so classic. I mean, a colored shirt is great, but NOTHING beats the look of a crisp white v-neck! It's definitely a staple for your wardrobe. It's one of those items you need to buy in bulk. If you find one that looks superb on you, one that skims all your curves & flatters you, and the V is the PERFECT V, you need to buy, like, 5! I'm telling you, it's such a classic, you'll be able to wear it with so much! You'll find outfits that go with them, ALL the time!

Just make sure it compliments your decolatte' (upper chest & collarbone area). There are certain lengths for v-necks, There are short & wide, long & thin, long & wide, short & thin. If you're not sure try on a couple of different style v-necks and pick accordingly to which one you think looks good & best suits you. There are also deep v-necks, and well, those don't always flatter you, like you think they would! just be cautious in that area. Maybe wear a cami when you wear a deep V...


I'm telling you, you can wear the same V-neck days in a row and pair it with different items in your closet, and still look as chic as you did on the first day! (Granted as long as you don't spill anything on it!😉)

And tunic style, upper thigh length is a great style for a V-neck! : ) My all time favorite length!
