DIY Personalized Beaded Bracelets

Hello! I absolutely love personalized jewelry. Anything with a monogram or a name I just have to have!!! Recently, I have spotted a trend of beaded bracelets that you can have personalized with a name. I have seen these on Etsy, Baublebar, even really expensive ones on NET-A-PORTER.

These range from $10- $85!

I thought, I can totally make these myself. AND, my girls will love to help me!

All you need are some beads and some string. We found ours from Michaels and Amazon.

These were all fairly inexpensive, and they come with a ton- you can make bracelets for everyone!

The girls and I had so much fun making them, and I love how cute they are.

Top 5 | Accessories From AMAZON

You guys must like shopping on Amazon. I get great feedback from my Amazon posts, so I decided to share more things from the popular retailer! This post is not sponsored (I wish!).

I don’t really like buying clothes from Amazon. I prefer to shop in person (shopping is my cardio) because I always have to try things on and I don’t like having to send things back. With that being said, I DO like to buy accessories on Amazon. Sometimes when you go to Nordstrom or a big store like that, you find a trendy piece that you love, but it’s way overpriced. Amazon has amazing things that can give you the same type of look!

So here are my faves!

1. Acrylic Earrings

These type of earrings are really trendy right now, so I have three pairs that I found on Amazon for super cheap. I love to wear statement earrings, but I don’t want to spend a ton of money on them. These all come in a bunch of different colors!

Pearl and gold pair here. Under $10!

Multicolor ones here. Under $10!

Tortoise hoops here.

2. Invisibobble Hair Ties

These are the only hair ties I use anymore. They come in lots of pretty colors, they really hold up my ponytail (and I have super thick hair), and they don’t leave a crease in my hair when I take it down. Love these!

Get them here.

3. No-Show Socks

Do socks count as an accessory? I just had to mention my favorite socks to wear. I wear these with almost all of my shoes, and they are so comfy and they don’t show. They also have grippers on the heel so they never slide off my foot. I get the pack with gray, black, and white.

Get them here.

4. Black Aviator Sunglasses

I have some designer sunglasses that I love, but I like to have a lot of options, so sometimes I buy some fun ones on Amazon. My favorite pair are these black aviators. They are oversized and I think they look really cool. They definitely cover my dark circle eyes at school drop off in the morning!

Couldn’t find exact ones, but similar here.

5. Hair Clips

These statement hair clips are really in style right now, and they were really hard to find in stores a few months back. I love how Amazon has huge packs of them with all different colors and sizes, and they are so much cheaper than in store! You don’t have to pay a lot to try out this trendy look.

Pearl ones here.

Multi/tortoise ones here.

Gold ones here.

Affordable Fall Fashion | 4 Outfit Ideas

Hello friends! Fall is officially upon us even if the 90 degree temps here in Texas don’t feel like it!

I wanted to write a little post to give you some fashion inspo (even if you’re still living in shorts and tank tops like me)! Most of the clothes are from Target or TJ Maxx, just because I LOVE all of the new collections at Target, and I also always find really cute things at TJ Maxx.

*I have linked the items that I was able to find, and linked similar items to the ones I was not. Enjoy!

Outfit 1

This is the kind of outfit I’m wearing now – minus the huge grandpa cardigan! I paired some distressed denim jean shorts with a little black chiffon cami and then threw this big oversized cardigan on. This cardigan is so cozy and soft, and I love the color. I put on some brown ankle boots, square shaped hoop earrings, and a long necklace with it. Super comfy and casual.

Outfit 2

For this outfit, I paired these blush colored high waisted jeans with this little floral wrap top together. I thought this would be so cute for a date night or a dressier event. The top has little ruffles on the sleeves and the waist, making it so flattering. I put some tan colored wedge booties with this and rolled up the distressed hem a little bit. I like to show a little bit of skin there. I added some big hoop earrings and I think it came out super cute.

Outfit 3

Let’s face it, this is what I usually wear. Haha. I loved this color blocked sweatshirt because it is a little bit cropped and it felt so cozy. I paired it with some black jeans, hoops (of course) and my trusty espadrilles.

Outfit 4

This is the dressiest outfit, and I thought since it had 3/4 sleeves, it was for fall. Haha. This romper has ruffled sleeves and hems at the bottom, and it has a pretty wrapped detail to the side. I put it with some tall heeled booties that have the slightest peep toe. I added some gold earrings and I think it looks pretty cute. Who doesn’t love polka dots?

I hope you guys liked these outfits! Let me know which one was your favorite.

Bringing Back the Speedy | What’s In My Bag

Hello! Today is a special day for Amysbeautydiary! I started my blog 5 years ago today and this is my 580th post. I love writing on this blog and sharing it with all of you. Thanks for all of the support. Now, onto the post for today!

One of my most favorite and most iconic of all of the Louis Vuitton bags is the Speedy. It goes with everything, it’s roomy, and it’s just so darn cute.

This bag is an oldie, but a goodie, as it is the first LV bag I ever owned. My husband bought it for me about 12 years ago for my birthday, and it is still very special to me.

Out of all of the prints, the Damier Azur is my favorite. I love the white summery look of it, and also the brown vachetta trim.

The size of mine is the 25, which is the smallest that it comes in, and I still find that I can fit everything that I need in it; it’s very roomy.

I have this pink organizer for the bag that really helps me to find things quickly. Without it, things just go to the bottom and I can never find them again! I really like this, and it comes in lots of colors; I just like the pink. I have been using this bag for a the past few weeks, so I’ll show you what’s in it!

I have two pouches in here, one for cards, and one for cash. My card case is the Louis Vuitton Multicolor card case. I bought this when I heard they were discontinuing the multicolor, because I didn’t have anything in the print and thought this was cute. It holds all of my cards and has a side pocket.

I also have a little white zip pouch from the dollar spot at Target to hold cash and coins. For my keys, I have a Gucci six key holder (discontinued) that I’ve had forever. I hook my keys onto the rings inside and they don’t scratch up my bag. I actually don’t even have to ever take this out of my bag; I don’t need my key to open the car or start it, but I do have to have it in my purse.

My sunglasses are gray gunmetal colored aviators from Zero UV. They are comfortable and only $10! I also have an extra pair of gold hoop earrings in here- I wear hoops every day and these are some of my fave ones because they’re super thin.

I’ve got a bunch of lip products in here as usual- MAC Soar Lipliner, Fenty Gloss Bomb, Essence Lipstick in Natural Beauty, Maybelline x Gigi Hadid in McCall, and Wet N Wild 903C.

I like to carry a fragrance, so I have a refillable perfume sprayer that I have some Chanel Coco Mademoiselle in.

I also have Tylenol, some natural remedy motion sickness tablets, Kleenex, Honest Hand Sanitizer, Altoids Smalls, Tic-Tacs, and my favorite bars- the Luna Protein bars. I love these and eat at least one everyday. My favorite is the Salted Caramel. They keep me full and are delicious.

So, that’s all I have in my bag! Thanks for reading!

Five Fashion Faves For Friday

Hello! I love making fashion posts, especially when I get to talk about the trends that I am currently loving. I also love to read fashion posts, because it gives me inspiration to try new things. Here are some cute ones to try!

1. BALLOON SLEEVES.

Ok, so this trend is BIG right now and I LOVE IT. I think these tops are so feminine and flattering. I love how they look flowy and girly. Get the look here.

The first one I have here is a shorter sleeve baby blue balloon sleeve top. I love this color and the fabric is thick, almost like sweatshirt material. So comfy.

This next one is more flowy and long sleeve. I love the blush (my color of life) and how dressy this is.

2. MIXING METALS

The next thing I’ve been doing is mixing metals. My husband got me a new silver watch for Christmas, and even though I don’t wear a lot of silver jewelry, I love this watch. I have just been mixing my gold bracelets along with it, and I think it looks really nice. I’ve also been mixing in gold rings with my silver ones.

3. ROSE GOLD SNEAKERS

I am so NOT a sneaker person, but I’ll make an exception for these. I love to wear these with leggings and a cute top, and they are so comfy and cute. I get so many compliments on these when I wear them…maybe I am a sneaker person now? Get them (on sale!) here.

4. LEATHER LOOK LEGGINGS

These are so hot right now for the winter, and I really like the look of them. They are still comfy leggings, but a little bit more dressy. I especially love these leggings with a faux leather panel on each side. So cute. Get the look here.

5. HIGH WAISTED JEANS WITH ANKLE ZIP

I love high waisted jeans. They are so flattering, and remind me of the 80’s, which I love. These particular ones are a skinny fit and have a zip ankle. Get them here.

That’s it for my fashion faves! Have a good weekend 🙂
