So I've been wanting a ring light for ages now because I know the lighting in my videos.... well it sucks. Its yellow and just blah. The cheapest ring light I could find (amazon) was about $80. This girl currently doesn't have $80 to spare. So here's my DIY version that I think works pretty darn good.
What you'll need and where you can find it:
wreath frame - http://bit.ly/2lidK8P or http://bit.ly/2rx9Dv4
aluminum foil
LED rope lights - http://bit.ly/2qY9ke2
zip ties/cable ties - http://bit.ly/2rI3lqR
I didn't think I need to link the aluminum foil... just saying.
What to do:
Wrap the entire wreath frame in foil. You can go around as many times as you'd like. For extra security add some tape to the back of it so the foil stays put.
Using a cable tie, attach the end (not the pluggable part) of your rope light to the outside part of the wreath. (See video if thats confusing). You can double up on the cable ties at this part.
Continue wrapping and securing the rope like with the cable ties around the wreath frame.
Leave enough dangling at the end so that you have a long enough cord to plug in (I have to use an extension cord for the extra length).
I know.... as easy as that sounded, it still took me a year to actually get around to doing it. In all honesty, you can find all the items at the Dollar Tree except for the lights.
Create a template for the pocket using either extra fabric or piece of paper.
Using the template, cut out two pocket shapes from your fabric of choice
Glue the fabric on top of the existing pocket
**Tip: My existing pocket had a working button already, so I placed the fabric on the glue and snipped a small slit in the fabric over where the button was. Then I slipped the fabric around the button and readjusted/smoothed it out again.
So I would love nothing more than to be able to wear the same outfits as any of the Kardashian/Jenner girls. Recently, in particular, I have been absolutely loving Kourtney's looks. It's as if being single has made her into an even more beautiful person. Nevertheless, loving her look is not the same as being able to afford her look. So I found reasonablealternatives to some of her recent outfits and I'm here to share!! After all sharing is caring! (all clothing is linked)
Kourtney on Ellen:
Ok so this is her look from Ellen the other day and again she look stunning! Its a gold glitter short and blazer set. Although I haven't been able to find out exactly where it's from (I believe it maybe custom made) here is an alternative to her outfit that's reasonable!
This Guess jacket is very similar to the gold glitter on she wore and will only run you $30. Pair it with the GOLD option of these shorts from Boohoo which are only $10! You finish it off with any strappy heels really, but these are an option from Forever 21 for just under $30. Wear a black tank and congrats, you've recreated this look for about $70! Causal Kourtney:
Even jeans and a tshirt looks amazing on this girl. Here are some alternatives and I'm giving you guys two jacket options: The jacket she's wearing is a suede material and this one is as well however it does have a fringe on it. This one is from Forever 21 and is $21.99. Second option is a bomber style which is a little closer to the look but not suede (or faux). From Boohoo for $40.00. Any ripped boyfriend jeans will do. These are from Boohoo as well and will run you $26.00. Pair with ANY black pumps. These are from ASOS and are $26.00. You of course want to wear a white t-shirt underneath. This outfit will run you between $74-$94 depending on your choice of jacket and of course if you already own the jeans and pumps. Kourtney's Mesh Look:
Flowy, Wide leg trousers from Boohoo for $20.00. And in case you don't already have a black blazer, here's one that's only $15.90 from Forever 21. This outfit will run you between $40 -$55 depending on if you need a blazer or not. :) Its either you hate the girls or you love them, and for me its the latter of the two. I'm infatuated with their style and can't get enough of it. As an added bonus here's my tutorial on how to get Kourtney's sleek pony tail from Kris' Birthday Party:
