Danielle Christine's DIY and Different Finds

Being a jewelry designer it's really awesome when you find jewelry that really excites. These leather designs do just that. I've been admiring the work Christina Anton of Boo and Boo Factory for quite some time and she keeps making things that I just can't get enough of. I thought I'd finally share some of my favorites! Gotta support handmade!

Collaboration art team Aaron & Ayumi Piland also known as Apak have some beautiful illustrations I just had to share! The dark ones are my favorite, because they look like little creatures from another world & I love the contrasting colors.

Smells like what?!

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Tue, 07 May 2013 01:39:00 +0000

Definitely categorized into my "different" finds section! I came across Demeter Fragrance Library and they have pretty much every scent you can think of! They have some really fun ones, and some more common scents. But here were some of my favorites. I don't know if I would actually want to smell like some of these, but I chose them because they are different from the norm.

Play-Doh

This is definitely one to bring back childhood memories...who doesn't love the smell of Play-Doh?

Birthday Cake

Yum!!

Crayon

Another one I totally love. Guess its the artist in me!

Dust

Dirt

Not sure what I think about these...thinking about the smells may be nice for a sniff or two, but I dont know how I'd feel about being dusty or dirty smelling!

Fireplace

Could definitely be comforting.

Glue

Love the description on this one..

"The scent of airplane or car modeling glue, a guaranteed trip down memory lane, and no, it is not toxic, and NO, it will NOT make you high."

Lobster

!!!??? Probably the craziest one.

Popcorn

Another interesting food one, but I think I'd rather smell like popcorn than lobster!

Swimming Pool

Now here is one I'd buy in the winter to make me feel like it was summer!

So what do you think? Would you try any of these scents? Just out of curiosity. Check out their site and let me know what your favorites are!

Been having a bit of an obsession with air plant art and DIYs. Especially when they are placed on unexpected objects. From what I've heard air plants or Tillandsias are plants that don't require soil and only need watering about once a week. Easy enough. But what makes them even cooler is because they don't need dirt, you can put them pretty much anywhere. Even in jewelry! Whoa!

Oooh I'm so excited for Spring fashion...BRIGHT COLORS& warmer weather (ugh there's snow outside my window right now), florals, um...idk sunlight!!

I've been seeing some CRAZY prints at work. I work at Forever 21at the moment (basically live there at this point of my life), so I get to see the trickle down effect from the runways constantly. I'm sure everyone has also noticed the printed legging craze all over lookbook, pinterest, tumblr...etc...

So just wanted to share some prints that look like an actual photograph, because I think they're super fun and right on trend at the moment. Enjoy.

Happy 2013! &Winter Whites

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:33:00 +0000

Happy 2013 Everyone...been away for a while...lots of craziness going on with the holidays. Lots of work and play, which leaves no time for finding finds!! :)

I'm excited for this year. My resolutions are usually the same. Be healthier, happier, and more creative. I tend to put my artistic outlets to the side when I get really stressed out, but those are really the things that help the most! So I need to stop that! So more jewelry making, more blogging, and of course more drawing!! Need to do all those.

So in honor of fresh clean and new, I thought I'd start out with a winter white color blog. When I think of white, I think of a blank page. I've noticed white more and more in the winter, which was always thought to be a no-no in the fashion world, but no longer! Enjoy!

Dreaming of a PINK Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 02:12:00 +0000

My love for the color pink is unending. It's been my favorite color always, so it's actually kinda surprising I've yet to do any pink color themed posts thus far. I guess I get caught up in whats trending at the moment. It's a disorder caused by working retail I think.

Anyway! Every year I tend to lean more towards a pink and green combo when it comes to my Christmas outfits and it just so happens I've been finding a lot of wonderful pink Christmas lovelies while browsing the web. So here's my second Christmas post...and probably my last until next year. I still have lots of wrapping to do and I have a feeling my gifts will most likely be covered in pink.

And of course, stick around til the end to see a wonderful Etsy Treasury I've curated just for you! :)

Pink Christmas FLASHBACK!! My pink Christmas outfit from last year. Made that necklace using an ornament of course and check out that curly cue ribbon adorning my purple hair!

(Already have a pink outfit picked out for this year)

Danielle Christine Jewelry Update

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Been keeping super busy with my jewelry line, so that calls for my monthly update and shameless self promo!

I recently had two of my favorite fashion bloggers wear some of my pieces which I'm always excited about and also been making lots of new things which I gotta show off!

The gorgeous Bebe of Fated to Be Hated rocked another piece...my Skull Peter Pan Collar Necklace.

She made it look great of course. I'm still selling the skull collar necklaces in my shop, except they're in pink and green. I may make a few more black and white ones. We'll see...I have a lot of things on my jewelry making itinerary.

And then had the lovely Lua of Le Happy wear a Gray Fringe and Crystal Point Necklace I made and she looking amazing as well! I'm thinking about making a few of these, maybe in other colors as well..again we'll see where my creativity takes me. It has a mind of its own.

And then here's some of my latest creations.

Handpainted Twig and Seashell Necklace

Those 2 handpainted ones were super fun to make! Took a lot of time, but it was worth it for the turn out!

Pyrite Stones Necklace

And something a bit more simple...I had to buy these rainbow titanium coated pyrite stone beads, because I just love how they reflect so many colors. The are really much prettier in person, but I try to photograph my jewelry as best as I can.

I've been experimenting with "props" and different lighting techniques, but I really want to keep the focus on the jewelry without distracting, hopefully enhancing. I'll continue experimenting with different techniques and set ups probably forever, but I think these represent my style at the moment.

Dress it down: Sequins and a Sweater

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 04:15:00 +0000

All things that sparkle and shine is what's been catching everyone's eye lately...and because the holidays are creeping up on us sequins are abundant!

So just when you thought sequins were just for New Year's, Christmas, and the club, the fashion forward are breaking the rules again.

Question: How do you wear that sequin skirt after the party is over?

Answer: Dress it down with a sweater...make it cute and comfy! Never thought you'd hear the term casual sequins until now. Be a fashionably rebellious with this trend..and let me know what you think in the comments below!

DIY: Christmas Party Fun

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:40:00 +0000

Decided to share some of my Christmas Party themed DIYs as well as my latest Etsy Treasury featuring handmade lovelies that would be perfect for this holiday. I noticed I leaned to decor with bright reds and greens with hint of lime...so maybe I'll do another Christmas post soon with other color choices. We will see!! Here's some great DIY ideas for you! And feel free to share some of yours in my comment boxes below!

Holographic.

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:44:00 +0000

Looks like the 90s really are coming back in full force...and of course, when things are this shiny..I get very excited.

I know the holographic trend can be very very scary and it is very hard to pull off unless in small doses. I will say that the following images, although not all be completely wearable in real life, are pretty great in my eyes.

Who knows, it is 2012, and this material is always thought to be quite "space age-y" things could get crazy and people may just start wearing all these things on a regular basis. Like Zenon Girl of the 21st Century....

Yeah I went there. Anyone who grew up in the 90s wanted to dress like her...don't lie.

Oh...AND because I love doing this, I made a lovely etsy treasury for all your sparkly needs which will be found below per usual.

Hussein Chalayan

Blumarine Fall/Winter 2012

Lots of holographic and metallic fabrics on this runway show...definitely a must see.

Personally I would wear all of these things...except the pants. I don't really do pants.

How fun is this Chanel nail polish?!

Are you faux real?!

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:30:00 +0000

Yes we are crazy faux fur!

I know... I'm super cheesy, but for real I am loving the fur trends going on right now and of course I prefer faux because I'm an animal lover. I'm most excited about the array of colors that are being displayed this season.

I have a burgundy faux fur vest I like to call my "muppet vest" and I just love it just like these furry finds!

Strictly Skeletal

noreply@blogger.com (daniglamour) — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:00:00 +0000

The body is fascinating in its entirety, but for some reason, the skeletons alone can be just as interesting. Here's some of my favorite skeletal finds.

I'm obsessed with that clear jacket and skirt she made too.
