Pinterest: The Gateway Drug

I’m blaming Pinterest for my Etsy addiction.
The first time I went on Etsy was for these candles I bought at a craft mall.
I thought the site was pretty awesome.. but, now I’m on it daily.

I have to admit, some of the stuff is way too much.
I can typically find the same thing from another Etsy maker for way cheaper.

For example; I have been looking for big cute glittery bracelets.
I kept finding them for $35 or more. That’s a no go.
I might make good money but, I am a bargain shopper. I’m great at it too.

I found the perfect bracelets. MUCH better than the $30 ones.

They’re from Fashion In The Forest.

Her items are so fun and affordable. Since I had to show off her store to all of you..
I asked her a few typically questions a buyer might have.

What inspired you to make jewelry?
I remember shopping for jewelry one day and thought "Oh, I could make this!" so I thought I'd give it a try.  I'm inspired by a lot of things, really.  Color palettes and fabric patterns, fun quotes & even sometimes, people.  I try to create for people who want to look cute but don't have a ton of money to do so.  Not everyone can afford a $100 bracelet, you know? :)  My jewelry is for the real girl, the one on a budget, but who still has great style. 

Do you offer custom orders?
I do!  My convo. box on Etsy is always open or feel free to email me at fashionintheforest@gmail.com and we can discuss what you'd like!

How often do you add new items?
I try to at least once every week or two.  Sometimes it's more, sometimes less.  When I get inspired, a flood of new jewelry gets listed fast! 

Three words to describe your items:
colorful fun edgy

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
