Easy Levi's Boyfriend Jean DIY

On one of my many weekend getaways to Bend, I found myself wandering the isles of Goodwill in search of a perfect pair of Levi's. It seems I am in constant search for the perfect pair of vintage Levi's; they are so often looked after and picked through that it is hard to find a good pair in the city. 

At last and to my surprise, there they were: high waisted, my size, perfect condition, & in a favorable color...I don't know how I got so lucky! As perfect as they were, I knew I had to tailor them to fit my style so I decided to give them a little DIY distress treatment. I love the look and to be honest my favorite type of distressed jeans are the ones that are actually destroyed and worn out but you can't always skid your knees for the look so here I am. Like I've done to many jeans, here is my step-by-step DIY on how to destroy your jeans just right.

Watercolor Wonders :: DIY Calendars

My only way of staying on top of my life is to stay organized, whether it be through planners, sticky notes, text reminders or calendars, I need something to guide and remind me throughout my day. I've been eager to make a few watercolored calendars of my own for the new year so here I am. 
Despite my lack of incredible artistic ability with watercolors, this DIY was quite easy. 

First, you'll need supplies - I went to the local craft store and found myself a colorful set of watercolors, a pack of paint brushes, and some watercolor paper. I already had an artist pen that I used for drawing out the dates but any felt tip pen will do.
