What I Wore ...On Thanksgiving

I'll be honest here. I totally forgot that I had taken pictures of my outfit on Thanksgiving. Here's what I wore that day:

Here is the overall look.


basic black tank top: unknown (Target probably)
white lace button up: unknown, the tag reads Faded Glory though
jeans: Ross
lace ballet flats: Alloy.com



owl necklace: forever 21



owl bracelet: ebay

I also wore a taupe bomber jacket from Target and a black infinity scarf from Sears. I really enjoyed putting this look together and got a lot of nice comments about it. I felt comfortable yet somewhat elegant.

(SSS) Stylish Smithereens Shop Update #2

Hello friends. I thought it was time for another shop update since I've listed more things in my shop and I figured that I would show off some of the stuff I've made.

Halloween Black Cat Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Crystals

Hello Kitty Bow Ribbon Statement Necklaces

Multi-Colored Owl Mug Cozys

Faux Druzy Bobby Pins

And back by popular demand are my Skeleton Hand Hair Clips. I swear that between work and Etsy, I have sold around 40 pairs of these.


I have really been hitting the knitting needles hard since autumn and winter are just around the corner. I will soon have Hello Kitty beanie hats and boot cuff/ leg warmers available so that's exciting.

That's all I have to announce. I hope you all had a great weekend! I'm ready for a productive then relaxing birthday week and vacation ahead of us!

Easy DIY Necklace Storage


I finally organized my necklaces! That may sound like something small to you, but it's something exciting to me (especially as they have spent a lot of their time tangled together in a box). I had been looking at necklace trees and box hangers for months and finally decided on making something myself (surprise, surprise!) because I wasn't in love with anything else I saw. Upon wondering how I would go about doing this in an easy fashion I remembered seeing these 3M command hooks at Hobby Lobby. I bought some and wondered where I was going to use these.


I considered the inside of our bathroom sink cabinet or the linen cabinet in the hallway. Would that be a good spot for them? Then my beautiful armoire spoke to me, and, as you can see, I was already using the knobs on the front to hang things from.


When you open up these doors you can see how the wood dips in and divides. This was perfect. I could put three hooks on each side and use the area where the wood indents to align everything.


I had never used the hook products by 3M but it was really easy and had easy to follow instructions on the back of the package. When you need to remove the hooks you just pull the command strip downward and everything comes off without mess or ruining your wall or in this case armoire.
