DIY: Dolce and Gabbana Inspired Floral Sunglasses

Hello Lovelies! I was totally inspired by the Dolce and Gabbana floral sunglasses, but at around $300 a pair,  I decided it was completely doable for me to DIY a pair for a fraction of the cost.
Here is what the final product looks like:

Materials you will need:

Sunglasses- I chose a simple cat eye pair from Forever 21 for $5.80 just in case the DIY didn't turn out as planned.  You can also just use a pair of old sunglasses!
         I do suggest getting a pair of cat eye sunglasses (they have a perfect amount of space to glue           flowers on at the edges), but other thick framed glasses will work as well!

Glue- You will need a super strong glue to make sure your glasses last! I personally used E6000 (around $6).

Plastic/Ceramic Flowers- I purchased mine from the seller MyTasu on Etsy. Click here to check her out. Also since I painted my flowers, the colors didn't matter much to me, but she has a wide array of colors in case you want to keep your flowers in their original colors. I spent $11.45.

Spray Paint (Optional)- This is only for people who wish to paint their flowers. I purchased the Krylon Dual Superbond in Gold Metallic. ($6.00)
         If you do choose to spray paint your flowers you'll also need some newspapers or something to
cover your working area!

All in all the total price for this DIY was around $29.25, but I had many leftover flowers, glue, and spray paint, so you'll have much left over for the next pair of sunglasses you wish to do!

Now finally let's get started!

   First, if you are going to spray paint your flowers, go outside or find a well ventilated area, and    cover the ground/table/etc. with newspapers and place your plastic flowers on it.



Next, paint thin coats until the flowers are covered, wait until dry (check your spray paint's instructions!). Then flip the flowers over and repeat!

Next, play around with the placement of the flowers until you find something you like. And it's finally time to glue on the flowers!


Wait for the glue to dry, and you are done!



I hope you  guys love this DIY as much as I do! I will definitely be flaunting these sunnies proudly and I hope you guys will as well!
I also am going to be adding a new part to my blog posts that I hope you guys will like! I always write my posts with music playing in the background, and at the end of the page, you will find a list of the songs/albums I listened through!

Until next time~XOXO

๐Ÿ‚๐ŸFall Food Haul+Extras



I have a confession to make. 
I'm OBSESSED with Trader Joes. 
So I stopped by today, and I had to share all my delicious food hauling as well as much FALL food!!! 
So... To start it off.. 
They were giving out samples of this PUMPKIN ice cream and this PUMPKIN bread pudding. It was delicious!!!!  

Next.. I walked into the frozen isle and I saw macaroons. My life is complete. You just take these out of the freezer, defrost, and BAM. You have deliciously delicious French macaroons.

 I also picked up some soup, because all you have to do is heat these up and viola! Delish and easy soup! I love drinking soup in the fall to warm up! 

Lastly for food, I bought these two items because I'm going to be doing some fall baking soon and I would be needing these items! 
And this last item isn't food, but is probably what I'm most excited for. 
So I don't know if you have tried their coconut body butter, but it's completely made out so many healthy and natural butters and not to mention, deliciously scented. For the fall, they came out with this pumpkin body butter,and I had to buy it!! Now I can smell like fall๐Ÿ‚! I really liked the coconut butter because it was super moisturizing and non greasy so I hope I love this one as well! 
Well that's all I have today! If you are near a trader joes, stop by, and see what they have to offer! 
Until next time~ XOXO
