One of the biggest trends to hit the beaches in recent years has been hard to adopt for those of us on a budget. Since we'd have to shell out almost $500 for one of Eugenia Kim's famous "do not disturb" and "wish you were here" hats, I shared an affordable DIY option here. Some of you might not be big on DIY or maybe you just don't have the time, so today I'm SO excited to share 8 amazing conversation hats that are all $70 or less!
Read moreDIY FOR LESS- FUN SUMMER TASSEL NECKLACE
If you're a frequent reader of Me & Mr. Jones, then you know I'm sort of addicted to tassels (also, thank you so much for reading!). I've done a couple of DIY tassel projects before (see them here & here), but this one is SUPER easy! This DIY is not only simple, but it will add the perfect pop of color to any summer outfit. Are you ready to get started?!
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: INDUSTRIAL CHIC BAR
Mr. Jones and I have been on the move for a few years now and this is the 4th place I've installed this bar (crazy)! I recently painted the shelves white, so I decided to post a DIY to tell you guys how I made it so you can too! The best part about these shelves is that they can fit any space and can easily be modified. In our last 3 places, the shelves were twice as wide and sadly, Mr. Jones had twice as much bourbon before we made our big move to the Pacific Northwest....
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: SUEDE WRAP CHOKER NECKLACE
I'm so glad you have stopped by Me & Mr. Jones today because this is hands down my easiest DIY project yet! Yesterday I covered the first of many 90's trends that have resurfaced (#overalls!), and today I'm falling in love with yet another one! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too keen on the idea of rocking a choker necklace straight out of the 90s, but the suede wrap versions tied around necks of Coachella’s best dressed has completely changed my mind!
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: MARBLE JEWELRY TRAY
We've all done it. You know, leave our earrings on the nightstand, necklaces on the kitchen counter, and bracelets in the bathroom. I've even kept jewelry on top of my jewelry box- whoops! If this sounds like you and you're not a fan of clutter (or losing earrings), this marble jewelry tray DIY is the perfect solution. Every girl needs a pretty little place to put her baubles and this inexpensive project accomplishes just that!
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: EMBROIDERED GRAPHIC BOYFRIEND TEE
Graphic tees are so cute, but sometimes a subtle message might be what you're looking for. Don't get me wrong, I love a good graphic tee but they aren't always work appropriate even on a casual Friday. This DIY boasts a personalized alternative and will take your casual tee to a new level of chic! Keep reading to learn how to create one of your own!
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: DECORATIVE SUCCULENT PLANTERS
Other than the occasional fresh flowers, Mr. Jones and I didn't have any real plants in our house. Since I'm no expert on indoor plants, I decided to take baby steps and start with succulents and a small cactus (still trying to convince Mr. Jones a small palm tree is a good idea). I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep these babies alive, so....
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: MONOGRAM STRIPED CLUTCH
This DIY project was created as an ode to this season's nautical inspired looks on the runway, and who can resist a traditional varsity letter monogram?! When I found this striped clutch at Forever 21 for only $7, I knew it would be the perfect base for this project. The leather tassel is from this project and is a great addition to this DIY. The best part is that there is no sewing required and the total cost of this project is under $30!
Read moreDIY FOR LESS: TORY BURCH TASSEL KEY FOB
A few weeks ago while browsing the handbag selection at Nordstrom, I fell in love with Tory Burch's tassel key fob but was shocked when I saw the price tag. Even though I already did a DIY Rebecca Minkoff Sofia tassel bag I just couldn't get enough, so today I'm sharing my newest tassel DIY with you! This one is similar to the Rebecca Minkoff Sofia Bag tutorial, but the best part is that you can decorate any handbag you want with these cuties (and it's so inexpensive!)!
Read moreDIY STARRY LIGHT WEDDING TABLE NUMBERS OR WALL ART
I'm so excited because this entire week on Me & Mr. Jones is all about weddings! I'll be sharing my sister's destination wedding photos at the end of this week, but I also wanted to give all of the lovely brides out there some ideas, inspiration, and style tips. Today I'm sharing a very special DIY project that you can use for table numbers at your wedding or just as wall art with the number of your special day (we got married October 3rd, hence the #3).
