Hey CHC followers!! As you all know I love to have sparkle in my wardrobe! Especially when it comes to this time of year, in the past in my town it was referred to as “Sparkle Season” I love that phrase I wish that they would bring it back. Since they won’t I will, so this is my inspiration for SPARKLE SEASON!!! Over the top + glitterized = perfect outfit for me. So bring on the holiday season and the new year! What are your Sparkle Season inspirations for this year? Let me know what they are and I hope that your Sparkle Season is picture perfect!

Hey CHC followers!!!!
So this week I have another D.I.Y. for you. My friend told me about this new nail design that is simple and practically free!!!!! It’s called Newspaper Nails!!! I’m going to take you through the process (it is extremely simple! and not even remotely time consuming!)
(Prep: Before Step 1 you should cut stripes of newspaper, you can do random stripes or you can make it fun and select the words and phrases that you would like to apply to your nails!)
Step 1: Choose a base color: a light gray, tan, white or even a little pink! (light pastels will work as well)
*Very Important!!!! make sure that nails are completely dry before you move onto Step 2! *
Step 2: Dip nails in rubbing alcohol for about 5 seconds.
Step 3: Then quickly apply newspaper stripes, for about 15 seconds and then slowly remove.
Step 4: After you remove the newspaper stripes, you then apply a shiny, clear top coat (wait for them to dry).
Then your done! Its that simple, so if your broke and on a strict budget like me this is the perfect way to give yourself a great design without have to break the bank at the salon! Try it out and let me know what you think!!! Have a great week CHC followers.

Oglebay Festival of Lights in West Virginia!
Its a great way to spend the day with family, friends, or your significant other! And it is affordable 
And it is amazing how much work goes into this beautiful display which is over 3 miles long of Christmas scenery!
If you have a free day over the month of December I recommend checking it out!
Hello CHC followers!!!!
I have recently moved into a new apartment and I am still trying to get everything decorated!!! I love decorating but being that I am in college money is an issue so I have been quite crafty when it comes to doing things for my apartment, examples: I made my own chandelier, took old furniture and repainted it (with left over paint from my parents house), made my own wall art!! Its easy and anyone can do it, today I will be showing you how to “modge podge” a lamp!!! It is fun and easy!!! You can easily update the look of any old lamp (or other piece of furniture) by doing modge podge, and here is how you start:
Step 1:
Pick and choose the items that you will be covering the item with, today I picked music sheets.
Then cut music sheets into desired sized, stripes.
Step 2: Next take the bottle of modge podge( found at any craft store) and applicator (found at any craft store), and start to apply it to the lamp.
Apply in small sections and then smooth the stripes over that section on the lamp and then repeat until the lamp is covered to your desired specifications.
Step 3: Once you are done with covering the lamp, let it dry I suggest over night!!! So that you don’t smear or smudge the covering. Then once it is completely dry you will have your own personalized lamp!!!
I hope that you liked my D.I.Y. for this week!!! I wish that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!! And to all of my fellow fashionistas out there, Happy Black Friday!!!!!! <3 I hope that you find all the great deals & steals that you are looking for this season!!!

Well, it’s that time of year to break out the winter wear. My go to winter coat is my vintage leather jacket! I would never buy a new leather or fur item, but I will go crazy over a good piece of vintage leather. First of all, vintage fur and leather are cruelty free, secondly the price is unbeatable, and third, a good leather jacket that has been worn and loved has such a great feeling. It’s all soft and broken in, not to mention you look twice as tough doing everything!
Would you decorate your leather? If so, how? I plan to buy some cone studs for the color, and have a bit of leopard print painted on the lapels. Happy leathering! -Chelsea
Hey CHC followers!
So keeping in theme with my weekly posts I am going to talk about my obsessions and favorite outfits of the week! This is not a new obsession for me I LOVE combat boots!!! I just ordered a new pair, I wore my last pair so much I practically walked through them. I had them for 2 years they were black, Czech Republic military boots they were amazing!! Combat boots are extremely versatile, you can dress them up and dress them down. I practically where them everyday! There as key to my wardrobe as skinny jeans , a peacoat and a thick knit scarf! Try a pair on and let me know what you think!!! Have a great week CHC followers!

After the long work week, it is sometimes nice to unwind and enjoy a cocktail.
I found a yummy sounding recipe for Baileys Carmel Apple:
For a serving of 4 you need:
-8oz. Baileys Carmel Irish (25 oz. per bottle)
-2 oz. Smirnoff Green Apple Flavored Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
-4 dash(es) Goldschlager (25 oz. per bottle)
-Ice to chill the drink
How good does that sound?!
Hey CHC followers,
As we all now know I am inlove with polyvore!! I have made at least one outfit a day! This is my favorite of the week!!! A few of my favorite things: a large chunky scarf, BOOTS!!! I love boots! (combat boots are my absolute favorite), I am really loving the mustard color this season! (scarf), another favorite of mine has always been skinny jeans I wear them everyday that I am not wearing leggings, I love sparkle and bling as we all know and the metallic tank and diamond encrusted bracelet is a perfect amount of bling for everyday (tho I still fully believe that you can never have enough bling), I have a black leather motorcycle jacket and I would love to try to explore and play with other colors in my outerwear purple just happens to be my favorite <3
So try it! throw all of your favorite things together + colors for this season+ and a few accessories and you have whipped up the best outfit for almost every occasion, remember that it is always important to feel comfortable in the clothes that you choose!!! If you don’t feel comfortable it is very hard to own what you wear and your outfit should always make you feel confident!!
