On my radar... March 2012

Hello!

This month I'm not doing clothes, accessories mostly, but also some other things you've never seen on an On My Radar before, mostly because I just discovered them, lol.


Forever 21:

Asymmetrical Zip Hobo:

I'm really into bags lately, and I'm not quite sure why...I know I need one to carry around with me as "my purse," with my wallet, phone, and keys. I like the color of this one, and it looks like it would be good to use when I go shopping. It has a shoulder strap and a cross-body strap, so that's good. I really like this.

Chain Strap Crossbody:

Another possibility for my purse. I like the color on this one too; bold colors are kind of my thing. :)  This looks a lot smaller than the blue one, but it has some neat side pockets. I like the chain accents too.

Bull's Eye  Floppy Hat- Orange/Natural:

I love this hat! I wasn't even looking for a floppy hat like this,(I didn't even think I'd like a hat like this,) but I have to have it! I'm going to the beach this June and I found a great coverup at Target and this hat totally completes the look. I'm going for the quintessential floppy-hat-with-flowing-cover-dress-thing-and-big-sunglasses-look, and, in my opinion, this nails it. 

Floppy hats, who knew?

Polka Dot Oxfords:

Oh my god. I think I may have died. POLKA DOT OXFORDS. There is nothing more perfect on this entire earth.

I love polka dots. And oxfords. These shoes are wonderful. Enough said.

Striped Platform Wedges:

I like wedges too. They're very springy. Black and white stripes are cool. These shoes are funky, but in a good way.

Studded Crossbody:

Yet another choice for "My Purse." I like how this one is very classic. The cream color would make it compatible with pretty much every outfit, and I like that. That could be a disadvantage too though- I like colorful, bright, statement-making bags.

All in all, I'm liking this one the most.

Triangle Necklace:

I'm totally obsessed with pendant necklaces right now. I love them. I can see myself wearing this one a lot, it's pretty basic.

Polka Dot Fringe Scarf:

I like scarves...Maybe a little too much.. These are no exception. Aren't they just darling? And the best part? The mint one has a matching bracelet set!

Polka Dot Bangle Set:

See? Matching! :D

Miscellaneous:

Pinterest:

I LOVE THIS! I probably sound like some crazy internet junkie, but this website is so cool. I get tons on outfit, and hair ideas form looking at everything. Fabulous.

HOBBY LOBBY:

We just recently got one of these stores in my town, (Hicktown, USA) and I cannot get enough. I've been there at least 5 times already. They have everything pertaining to arts and crafts a person could ever want, and more--a baking section. Be still my heart.

Fishtail/Herringbone Braids:

I've always loved this style of braid, but it looked soo complicated to do, so I never tried it. Well, my friend Tabitha is really good at braiding hair like this, and she was kind enough to teach me how! It's super easy. I do this all the time. It's a great twist on your everyday braid.

Melted Crayon Art:

I must say, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It started with someone putting a picture of a creation like this on Pinterest, and now countless people have done it. You can Google "melted crayon art" and find tons of pictures and websites with instructions. The one to the left is one of mine. I've done about 5, haha. :)

Neon Patent Heel, from Charlotte Russe:

I like neon. :) These look awesome, 'nuff said.

Sorry this post is so late in March! I got a little behind.. 

Thanks for reading!
