Hello and happy Friday! I always get really excited for Fridays, not only because it's the weekend, but because it means I get to try out a new DIY! This weeks DIY is one of my favorites. I've been dying for a tassel necklace for fall! They're adorable and match with mostly everything. They're definitely funky, new and something I'm willing to try out!

If you haven't seen tassel necklaces yet, here are some I found online at Anthropologie:

Anthropologie "Neon Plume Necklace" - $38.00

Anthropologie "Tassel Plume Necklace" - $38.00

Anthropologie's website has a bunch of tassel necklaces and they range in price from $38-500+.

I loved their tassel necklaces so much that I decided I wanted to make my own.. On a budget! I got all of my products from AC Moore and it was one of the most simple DIY's I've done! Let's get started on your trendy tassel necklace.

The cost of this DIY is completely up to you and how many necklaces you want to make. I knew I would want to make more than one so I picked up a few extra items.

Tassels - $1.99 ea.

Jars of beads - $2.99 ea.

Beading wire - $3.99 ea.

Mini Diagonal Cutter - $2.99 ea.

Beach Essentials! (On A Budget)

Happy Saturday! Thanks for stopping by! This morning when I woke up, I realized it's ALREADY August 10; which means summer is almost over. With summer coming to an end, most people make it a point to squeeze in as many beach days as they can. If you're thinking about hitting the beach soon, here are some essentials that you should bring along with you! 

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - $17.99

Pick up a new book! Reading is one of the best forms of relaxation; combine that with the beach and it's a zen heaven! You could also bring school textbooks! Don't let your summer classes keep you inside; study on the beach!

Eos Lip Balm - $2.99

Keep your lips hydrated with some lip balm! One of the most important beach essentials. The sun can dry out your lips causing them to be serverely chapped. So, be smart and keep some lip balm on hand!
