DIY Tutorial: Thrifted Dress Into Cute Skirt and Top!

On my usual scavenge hunts around charity shops I came across a gem of a dress! Sure, it was totally old and a horrible style but the fabric! Oh my days! It had a lot of potential! aha

So anyway, this isn't going to be a full step-by-step tutorial cos it just doesn't need it! Instructions below! :)

All I did was cut above the waistline of the skirt, and then cut it to the length I wanted and then hemmed it all. Sooo easy to do! And you just hem the bottom of the top aswell! I rolled up the sleeves and secured with safety pins as well, just to make it look that much cuter :) 

Peaceeeeee xoxo

DIY Foil Nails

Seen a lot of silver/mirrored nails floating around the Tumblr-sphere lately, and seeing as my inner minimalist has been begging to break out, I decided to give the metallic nail trend a try! It's actually super easy but looks ace!

All you need to do is paint a base colour on your nails, then grab a piece of foil (unscrumpled!) and cut it into thin strips and then place it on your nails with a toothpick whilst they're still wet. Go over with a few coats of clear and you're done! I think they look pretty awesome if I say so myself.. haha
You can do it with any colour and even experiment with different colour foil! Another idea would be to use a hole-punch to cut out circles from the foil and stick them on instead!

Have fun! x

My tattoo is all healed and lovelyyy! I'm so pleased with it! <3

New Ink

Oh my, I've been waiting for ages to be getting tattooed again! My tattoo artist, Marcus Tippetts, messaged me today with a design for a back piece. And I think I fell in love on the spot. Here it is, I'm far too excited right now! Hit him up on Instagram @ragga72, or Facebook! The guy has mad skills, especially if you want skulls!

WANT

Oh dear. I've started shoe shopping. This is not going to end well, or cheap...

I've had my eye on these for ages! And they're actually in the sale! You will definitely see me in these soon.

These are just beauties. I think I'm going to end up buying these because I feel like it would be one of those purchases that makes my day... I'm so sad.

Identity Project

Just starting a 6 week long Identity Project at College, had this idea in my head for a while now. Trying to show people's personalities, likes/dislikes, and generally how I perceive them by making photomontages.
I'm quite pleased with this one of Robbie. Although, I would've liked to have used my own photos, original photograph by @JoshuaBurns :)

DIY Fur Trim Beanie Tutorial!

Had this beanie for agesss but I've never worn it! It's a lovely hat but it just falls off everytime I wear it! -_-
And seeing as it has a cute little fur bobble thing on it, I figured lets add a fur trim?!

This is a ridiculously simple tutorial, all you need is:

• Scissors
• A hat
• Some faux fur
• A needle and thread
• And your own lovely head! 

I literally had to hold it onto my head whilst taking these...

Measure your head and cut the fur to that length adding about 3cm for seam allowance or just wing it and wrap the fur around your head and cut like I did.. :')

 Place the fur right sides together, so that all the fur is on the inside..

 Then sew it up! I used a sewing machine purely cos it's quicker but it's easy to hand sew aswell, just do a simple running stitch :)

 Then flip it so that the fur is on the inside..

 and fold it widthways so that all you can see is fur!

 Double check and make sure that it fits onto your head. (YAY SNUG)

 Start to sew the fur onto the hat. You should place the unfurry side against the inside edge of the hat and stitch all the way around. Make sure you keep the hat stretched or it will be too gathered in one place!

 Then fold the fur over the edge of the hat so that you can see the fur on the outside. 'Pick-up' some of the fur, pushing your needle in on the fur side of the fabric and pulling it back out on the same side. Then do the same with the next stitch but 'pick-up' wool from the hat this time. This will create a folded edge so that the raw edge of the fur doesn't poke out. And DONE! Now you can take silly pictures of yourself wearing your new fur hat! WOO! :)
