Stylish DIY: Instagram Canvas Wall Art

I haven't done a DIY post in forever and I have been dying to do one and after seeing this blog post I knew I had to recreate this, but of course add a stylish touch!! If you don't know by now I LOVE nail polish and I LOVE my iPhone and Instagram and combining the two is like a stylish heaven in my eyes. I always take pictures of my nail colors using my favorite app, Instagram, and when I saw this DIY I knew it was the perfect thing to create for my new apartment, an Instagram Canvas Wall Art. It's inexpensive and an awesome way to use all those Instagram photos you take! See below to create your own canvas wall art!

Supplies Needed: (For a 12x12 canvas like I used) you'll need 9 4x4 pictures, Mod Podge, and a paint brush!

Step 1: Using Postal Pix, such an awesome app to print your instagram pictures and have them delivered right to your door, I ordered 18 4x4 photos (I only needed 9 but I wanted to have enough to choose from) of all my nail polish pics.
Step 2. On your canvas, experiment with placing all nine pictures and decide on a layout.
Step 3. Using Mod Podge and the paintbrush, begin adhering the photos to the canvas. I like to start with the corners and work my way in. Step 4. Seal with an extra coat of Mod Podge if you want and let dry for about two hours and then display! Easy enough right? Such a fun and easy way to decorate my apartment without a lot of work or mess, I definitely am going to do a bigger one when I have more pictures! So until next time...

Stylish Work Appropriate Summertime Dresses

As the weather starts to warm up I see myself gravitating more towards my dress side of the closet only to realize I don't really have work appropriate dresses. I have a few maxis and then tons of going out dresses but nothing in between so I knew I had to change that ASAP! I shopped my favorite online retailers and found these great affordable options!

Stylishly Best Dressed: 2012 Cannes Film Festival

A city I have always wanted to visit is Cannes. I love France and I am obsessed with Paris but Cannes seems like it would be a close second to Paris from all the gorgeous pictures I see. Every year the Cannes Film Festival occurs and the fashion seen is on a whole different level from any other film festival and even any other awards show. This years event takes place from May 16th to May 27th and so far the fashion worn by our favorite celebrities is "jaw dropping" beautiful! From long flowy gowns to short cocktail dresses, every style was seen and worn with such class and beauty! Check out a few of the best dressed so far at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
