This Spring designer’s collections were booming with blooms of colorfully layered prints, and none of them wowed us more than Prabal Gurung …the king of injecting a dose of tech-style in his textiles. To get in touch with our own flower power, we teamed up with our friends at Who What Wear to create an accessory that pays homage with decoupage…and brings together a few of a style savvy girl’s favorite things - DIY, fashion, technology, and flowers!To create, you will need wooden or plastic bangles, as your blank canvas. Gather real or faux flowers in a color scheme of your choice. Group and arrange the flowers in a pattern and snap a picture with your phone or camera. Send to print, as is, or upload to photoshop and duplicate to create a repeat pattern. Once printed, cut out strips or small pieces which you will use to cover the inside and outside of your bangle. Using Mod Podge, cover the inside of the bangle by “painting” the back of the paper and securing to the wood or plastic. Continue all the way around, wrapping the edges of the cut outs, to cover the edge of the bangle. Continue on the outside and then add a final layer of Mod Podge once the bangle is completely covered in the flower print.Click here to check out the step by step video with Hillary & Katherine of Who What Wear!
DIY Low Calorie Single Serving Mexican Dip Recipe. I have always said that fat free refried beans taste the same as regular ones. Easy to make, easy substitutions for the normally really fattening ingredients. Recipe and nutritional information from The Yummy Life here. *Another single serving Mexican dip (7 layer dip) here.
DIY Embellished Beaded Flip Flop Tutorial. I’ve seen other beaded flip flop tutorials that I have not posted because they looked a little skimpy and like the glued on beads would fall off. This will not happen in Trinket in Bloom’s tutorial here. *One image download.

Mail Basket | Design*Sponge
I am terrible when it comes to mail - I open it, put it down… then can’t find it. I try putting it all in one place but that never lasts! What I need is this smart looking mail basket right next to my front door to pop it in when I get it. I love the combination of wood and leather. Of course if you don’t want to use leather, a strong fabric strap or ribbon would work just as well (just make sure it’s strong enough to support the weight!)
