Fashion: Bensimon sneakers

Fab: Re-purposing a candle holder

I got this beautiful Michael Aram candle as a gift, and once the candle inside was finished I wanted to re-purpose the holder. An idea finally came to me one day as I was waking up in the morning. I will use it to hold my bracelets! Then I just had to figure out how to clean the inside of the leftover wax. That is when my handy husband came into play. He was amazing at getting the glass completely clean and ready for my bracelets. I love that all my bracelets fit nicely into their new holder! Would love to hear of other crafty ideas for re-purposing items.

The winter weather has been never ending this year. I dream of a warm, sunny day when I can sport these lovely espadrilles by Cynthia Vincent. A little bit of glam without taking away from the casual look of a sandal. Piperlime
