Spring Fling!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Isn’t this just the most charming idea from Martha Stewart for an outdoor Quince? Just in time for the spring too!  

 

You can definitely recreate this adorable decor with a few inexpensive craft items and paper lanterns.  At my favorite craft website, Save-On-Crafts.com, you can find a package of ten of these paper lanterns for only $11! That’s $1.10 each for my math genuises out there! 

 

And if you have a theme color in mind, they don’t just have white!  Don’t forget the mariposas!  These are 12 for $17.88 ($1.49 each!).  

 

Who says you can’t do it better and cheaper yourself?  Get your artsy hat on girls!

 

Make up!

When it comes to your Quince look, will you cut corners or will you splurge for your one special day?With make up, you have to make the right decision for your own Quince style. Otherwise, the proof will show up in the pictures (the only thing that will surely last from the fiesta!). Check out this awesome 88 color eyeshadow palette from Coastal Scents!  Only $24.95!

Now if you can’t create a knock out look with shimmering options like this, I don’t know what to tell ya!  They also have other palette combinations to choose from such as a neutral palette or a palette with blushes and eyeshadows.  If you want to see these palettes in action, log onto youtube and search those make up tutorials we mentioned earlier.
