Holiday DIY: Cute Christmas Candy Cane Jars!

Candy canes are one of the most well-known christmas symbols, which makes them great, easy and cheap decorations to use during this time of year!

I'm going to be showing you how to make two different, but similar Candy Cane Jars you can place around your home, in your office, or anywhere else you'd like this holiday season!

The first one is pretty simple. 

What you need:

•4-7 full size peppermint candy canes.

•1 mason jar.

•A ribbon of choice. (1 inch width max.)[Holiday or traditional christmas colors work best]

All you'll need to do is first, tie the ribbon around the top of the mason jar, where the lid would usually screw on. After that, place your candy canes on the inside, so their hooked on the jar.

Next jar decoration:

This decoration will be a little more work, but the finised product is totallynworth it!

What you need:

•4-6 Fake or real candy canes.

•Flower vase. (Make sure your vase is big enough for your chosen candy canes)

•Cotton balls

•Christmas tree orniments (small ones work best)

•Glitter [OPTIONAL]

So your going to start off by taking a few cotton balls and pulling them apart. As you pull them apart, place them into the bottom of your vase you have chosen. Until you feel you have enough "snow" (cotton balls) you continue adding them. This is where the option of glitter comes in. If you choose to add glitter, you can put some in the snow just for a more decrative effect. You'll then want to add candy canes inside your vase, hooking them to the rim if the vase. After you put an acceptable amount of candy canes in the vase, you can add your small orniments inside the vase (as its seen in the photo above).

You can place these anywhere for a holiday feel.

Trendin': Oversized sweaters!

  

Fall is a whole new season, which means a whole new category of trends!
There are always many of different trends, but there is one trend that I absolutely love, and I always am following. And that trend would be oversized sweaters:
Yeah, this may happen every year during this time, but it's a trend, and it's a great one!
You can get over sized sweaters pretty much anywhere from a vary of different prices, but my favorites are Acne, Forever 21, and American Apparel.
The mint colored sweater I have pictured to the right is from Ance Studios (http://acnestudios.com)
I have found many, many stores that carry over sized sweaters, but overall, Ance is my favorite. Yeah, they are very expensive for most people, but their sweaters are high quality and designer. They are totally worth their money, but still- $200 for a sweater!? Most of you are probably thinking that's a bit crazy. But, It's just an idea. There are many other places that you can get similar sweaters for much, much cheaper prices.
For example, you can find local stores, or big city stores. I found this really cute sweater with the blocked pattern and elbow cuffs at a New York warehouse store, online! (http://ny.racked.com/)
 I am unsure of the price of this sweater, but I am guessing that is is a little cheaper than the Acne Studios one. By looking at this sweater, I can assume that it is about $75-130. Yes, still expensive, but it isn't $300, that's for sure!
Other places you could shop at for these are:
American Apparel
Forever 21
Charlotte Russe
Brandy Melville
Top Shop
