Mason Jar Love

Mason Jar Love

Mason Jars are a great way to pretty up your home.  I love how they can easily be turned into cute decor and functional pieces, adding classic beauty to just about everything. Here are some lovely ideas you can do, using mason jars… Mason Jars can make great, vintage-style soap dispensers. You could make this yourself, or if you’re not much of a DIYer, then you can buy this one from Postroadvingate on Etsy! This idea is great for a summer garden party! Make your own lemonade and serve it in style through a mason jar! This idea came from Brides.com. Now, if you don’t have a fancy cutter to create your own design, just punch a hole through the lid and stick a straw in it, then put a pretty fabric ribbon on the straw to hide the punch hole! I love this idea! Using mason jars as dining table centerpieces or to store flowers around your home. Wish I could get my hands on this classic vintage style mason jar. {image source} Mason Jars make cute and personalised gifts for Christmas and house warming parties. Make your own jam or cookies and put them in a pretty mason…

Glam Gifts – Reads

Glam Gifts – Reads

Ahhh the end of the year has come, and it’s time to kick back and enjoy some beach-worthy, pool-side reading. Here is my list of top reads for 2008. 1) Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips is, to date, my favourite book of all time.  It’s a real breath of fresh air and unlike any book you’ve ever read before.  The story is about Greek Gods living in London in the 21st Century.  They have lost their powers, since nobody believes in them anymore, and they try to adapt to modern day living.   Artemis (goddess of hunting) is a professional dog walker.  Aphrodite (goddess of beauty) is a telephone sex operator and Apollo (god of the sun) is a TV psychic. I would highly recommend this book, and although it is  Marie Phillips’ first book – she is an absolutely amazing story teller,  and Im already waiting in anticipation for her next masterpiece. 2) Every girls gotta have That Extra Half and Inch by style icon, Victoria Beckham – Its a book filled with 314 pages of head-to-toe fabulousity.  Mrs Beckham shares her advice on beauty, fashion and style.  It also has lots of little bits of necessary advice…
