DIY: Use a picture frame as a tray

Hello Lovelies,
Have you noticed how trays are getting more expensive everyday and some of them are not even that pretty? Well, I decided to make myself a tray using an shadow box I bought from Walmart for $5.99 and I show you step-by-step how you can do it too.

What you need:
- 1 shadow box or a picture frame (Dimension: 11.5" x 9.75 " for $5.99 from Walmart)
- 1 pair of handles ($3.99 from Walmart)
- 1 magazine of your choice
- A screwdriver and screws (type 4)

Step1: Remove everything that is inside the frame and take off the little standing stick behind the picture frame.

Step 2: Measure where you want you handles to be. I decided to put the handles on the sides of the picture frame because I didn't have enough space for the handles on the top sides. Once you've marked where you're going to insert screws, screw both handles on the sides. Make sure you leave enough space between the screws and the frame floor because you are going to put back everything you took out of the shadow box and they'll have to fit (especially the glass since it can't be bent) in between the screws and the picture frame floor.

Step 3: Remove one of the handles to place the glass and screw the handle back to where it was.

Step 4: Choose an image from your magazine and put it inside the box, followed by everything else back inside the shadow box (I took an Miss Dior perfume image from BAZAAR April 2013).

 

Step 5: Now step back and admire your work! 

I'm predicting that in the near future, I'll have more than one framed tray! (ha!)
Have a Lovely day,

Trends seen on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards 2013

Hello Lovelies,
As we all know, last night was the Golden Globe Awards and the ladies were all gorgeous and glamorous in their dresses. Trends were observed

1. Floor-length dresses
It seems like these Hollywood ladies were into long, floor-length dresses

Left to Right: Jessica Alba is wearing Oscar de la Renta's silk faille trumpet gown from the PF13 collection (Alba completed her look with a $5.8 million Harry Winston diamond necklace, in addition to diamond earrings and a cocktail ring all set in platinum) | Emily blunt is wearing a Michael Kors dress | Lucy Liu is wearing a floral Carolina Herrera strapless gown | Jennifer Lawrence is wearing a coral Dior Haute Couture dress.

2. All Black or All white dresses
Many of the ladies did also go for an all black gown or an all white and they looked absolutely gorgeous in them.

Here are the ladies in white:

Left to Right: Anne Hathaway is wearing a Chanel's beaded strapless dress from the SS09 haute couture collection | Amanda Seyfried donned a custom Givency dress | Lea Michele wore an Elie Saab embellished halter gown with a high slit detail from the SS12 ready-to-wear collection | Hayden Panettiere looked glamorous in a Roberto Cavalli gown.

Here are the ladies in black:

 3. Beaded and sparkling lace dresses
I think in this category, Keri Washington was the best dressed because it's just different. She wants to go with the trend of length-knee dress but then again she wants to add a personal touch to the outfit!

Left to Right: Keri Washington rocked a Miu Miu dress | Helen Hunt rocked a Dolce & Gabbana tulle and beaded column gown with rose satin underlay | Jennifer Lopez is rocking a Zuhair Murad's long-sleeve silk gown featuring an ivory embroidered lace overlay with beading detail from the SS13 ready-to-wear collection | Julianne Hough looked awesome in a white tulle and gold embroidered Monique Lhuillier gown.

Hello Winter: Gold & Silver make a great combination

          Around the Holidays, everything is colorful and we find ourselves surrounded by bling bling, if you know what I am talking about. Everything is sparkling and I thought what a better way for me to get myself deep into the Holidays/bling bling spirit than to wear a silver dress and a goldish tone sweater!

Hello Lovelies,
yesterday as I was feeling in the mood of shining, I decided to wear my new silver tone dress with a gold tone sweater that also had sequins and of course I couldn't pass on a chance to throw some burgundy to the shiny color palette of my outfit. 

[Wearing]: H&M black suede boots (similar here) | Victoria Secret black pantyhose (similar here) | JCPenney Silver grey dress (similar here) | JCPenney gold sweater (similar here) | JCPenney army green jacket (similar here) | Accessories: H&M Burgundy rib-knit tube scarf (similar here) and hat, H&M jewelery, Charlotte Russe.

Well what do you think? 

Have a Lovely Day  <3
