Style Fyle: Work it girl!

Style Fyle: Work it girl!


The ultimate work outfit... And then out to dinner & drinks after work. This outfit has so many elements to it, the hip hugging pencil skirt, the white blazer, the fox silk sleeveless blouse. All the way down to the cocktail ring and brooches. Perfection!

 I'm picturing a confident woman in this get-up. That she will slip the skirt on that morning, then put the blouse on, half tucked of course! Then pop on the blazer, roll the sleeves up to give it a more comfortable vibe. Then add the jewels to the look, and those shoes! Add the three brooches to one of the lapels of the blazer, to add a new element to the mix.

 If she should have long hair, where it in a high pony tail... If not a sleek do, will do! You will be Gorgeous no matter what! Keep the make-up simple and add a bold crimson or berry lip. And you'll sell that look! And for dinner slip the blazer off. And just dine in the skirt and & blouse.

Have confidence in every outfit you wear. People, especially women can smell insecurity & defeat a mile away! Strut your stuff, you got this! And when all else fails, kill 'em with kindness! 

Love y'all! -Ryn

DIY Friday: polky dotty tip toes

So I'm not one to really indulge in going for a pedicure... I mean, I really like the idea of the nail salon, but I never like the way it turns out, they chip too quickly, they complain that I like them short. (No white showing) and they leave rough cuticles! I'm sorry, I'll just do them myself! Annnnd I like the way I do them. So if I were to indulge, a massage is what I'd get! : )

So I decided to do my toes, polka-dotted style. I chose a reddish/orange color, named hip-anema from Essie. Perfectly bright color for summer! This is the easiest nail art I've ever come across! 

So what you'll need:


Nail color (of your choice)
Sharpie (color, your choice, I used gold)
Top coat (I really like OPI top coat) 

My toes needed some TLC...
Take your polish off.
Bare Naked toes...
Tools to use on your feet. Nippers, clippers, white buffer, crystal nail file (my favorite kind, leaves nails so smooth), metal nail file.

Polish your toes, two coats, but DO NOT put top coat on yet...

Use the sharpie, and put little dots/lines on you toes.
And you put the top coat on, the marker stays put. And let dry!

So cute right?! (I love the color combo, so summery) (Sorry about the whiteness! And I've been out in the sun! 😁)

Making sure they dry! 
I love this quick dry spray! It's from onyx professional, from Walmart for $3.98 I believe! And it works wonders! 
The last step is to clean up the edges, with a q-tip and acetone. And then voilà! 
P.S. I may even do this on my nails I like it so much! These pics are NOT doing it justice! 

Enjoy! -Ryn

DIY Friday: Button Cardigan

Have y'all been enjoying the DIY's?! I need your input & feedback! Please comment below! 👇👇👇

This is probably the easiest ways to change a look of a garment. It's so easy, it only took me about 20 minutes! (And I took pictures) 

I won & bought this sweater off of eBay, for $23.00!!! It's all cashmere, big and slouchy, which I wanted and totally the perfect color! I'm guessing you can now call me an eBay ninja! (Just kidding!) but around the same time, I won/bought a turquoise ring too! 

So, I for one, didn't want to look like a man's sweater. I wanted a feminine touch to it. So what I did was change the buttons. It's easy peasy! 


Go get yo supplies together:

Small Scissors or seam ripper
New buttons ( I used glass & covered buttons, I mixed & matched the buttons, it gives it character!)
Thread 
Needle
Cardigan






Step 1. Lay out your cardigan. 


Step 2: snip buttons of the sweater.


Step 3: It should look like this.




Steps 4 & 5: thread your needle. And tie it off.


Step 6: pull the thread through the sweater. 


Step 7: load your thread with a button. (And no, there isn't an invisible button on that thread, I just forgot to include a pic for this step!)



Step 8. Attach the button securely by tying it off. 


Step 9: snip the remaining thread.


Step 10: yay! We're 60% done!!! Only two more buttons to sew on!


Step 11: and done! Complete! It's cute right?!

P.S. Save your old buttons, in case you ever decide to give or sell your sweater. Or use the buttons on a different garment. You'll find a way to use them again, I promise!


So there ya have it! Let me know how it goes for y'all! I'd love to hear! 

Oh and there's upcoming things I going to share with y'all soon! Can't wait! 👏☺ 

XOXO, Ryn

April showers bring may flowers!

So for my other business, Maude C. I do custom t-shirts & wedding jewelry among my jewelry & accessories! And a bride wanted me to custom make a keep garter and a toss garter... She wanted tulle, and her wedding colors were silver & gold. So I made them in gold tulle with off white shimmer tulle in between. Then I added a knockout rhinestone piece to the keep garter. And added gold buttons to the toss garter. I applied rhinestones to both garters as well. I think these are so gorgeous! But I could be a bit bias! 😉 The cool thing is, I made her sisters garters when she got married, I believe, 4-5 years ago! So this was so awesome to do! 😊 These debut on April 27th! Happy wedding time!
