What I Wore - Introducing: Ben Beautiful

    Pants: Old Navy

    Shoes: Charlotte Russe

    Clutch: Target

    Cape: Ben Beautiful Collection 

Featuring Item: Vintage Cape

I am in love with this cape! Not only is the first cape I've ever owned but it is just so beautiful.

The material was amazing and so soft/satin on the inside. The design is my favorite. I love the patterns and it truly is a statement piece. I felt very elegant even pairing the cape with jeans. Ben Beautiful has so many wonderful vintage items that are truly one of a kind.  

Meet Veronica owner of Ben Beautiful

About: 

I love all things vintage! So for my 40th birthday, my husband (a really, great guy) threw me a 70's themed birthday party. Everything about it was a blast! I had so much fun shopping for my dress! I have not been able to stop shopping for great, vintage clothes since. 

When it came time to open my Etsy shop, I asked our 4 kids, "What should I name the store? I want it to be unique to us." They said, "Ben Beautiful!" That is the nickname they gave their dad. (Told you he was a great guy!) And that is how Ben Beautiful Vintage came to be.

In my shopping, I find vintage clothes and decor. I hope you love my finds as much as I do. 

Here are a few of my favorites from the Ben Beautiful collection

Vintage 80's, Vintage 70's, Neon Paint Splattered, Vintage 70's Bridal Hat

You will love Ben Beautiful's Vintage Etsy Store!

Valentine DIY Project; Lipstick Art

Valentine Lipstick Art

Materials:

a variety of pink and red lipsticks (dollar store)

drawing paper

8×10 frame

pencil

heart template (optional)

Instructions: 

First take your drawing paper and your heart template and and lightly draw a heart in the middle.

Then start at the left side of the heart and begin to “color” your heart by using bold strokes. Keep doing that with different shades of lipstick until you’re done.

The key to this technique is going outside of the pencil lines. Have fun!

Allow the print to dry for about 24 hours and then frame it.
