Copy Cat

I loves these rings from Spell check them out for yourselves here. They sell out pretty quick so I decided to have a go and make one myself. I found an old crystal stone got some jewellery wire from Hobby Craft found a leaf from an old necklace hoped for the best and manged to produce this. Not to bad for a first attempt.

Shirt ebay, Tee shredded by Moi, Pleather Trousers Topshop, Boots Topshop, Bag Alexander Wang (borrowed for good hopefully)

Another one of my shredding projects and an ebay purchase I have been looking for a longer length leopard print shirt to wear open and I found this one ideally I want to wear if with cut offs but I decided to team it with my pleather trousers today.

Day Dreaming

Kimono Topshop, Levis Cut Offs ebay (DIYed by Moi), Boots Dune, Vest Farhi by Nicole Farhi

The lastest addition to my wardrobe this fab snake skin print kimono which means one item is ticked off my Spring Summer must have list. This is going to go with so many things and it also looks great belted, tucked in and worn the other way round tucked in so a multi purpose item. I am also wearing the fringed belt from this post here that I made from a pair of broken pleather trousers.

From This

To This

You might remember my H&M maxi dress from this post last year. Well it has now been transformed into a fringed creation. I told you guys I am going to be rocking fringing next season I am going to team this with a floppy hat denim cut offs and my kimono. I am also thinking it will look fab thrown over a bikini.

Homemade

I have been doing a little bit of DIY. As I have mentioned before I want fringing and feathers to feature in my wardrobe for next season so I made this fringe belt to go over denim cut offs from a pair of broken pleather trousers and I missed out on the F21 dream catcher necklace so I brought one from ebay and put it on a chain. Hopefully these cost effect diy's will update my wardrobe and give my outfits a twist.

Summer Favourite

Top Whistles, Cardigan Topshop, Levis 501 Cut Offs (DIY by me) ebay, Boots Topshop, Bracelet ASOS

So pleased with my latest DIY check the post out here. I am also pleased that I can actually wear faded Levis 501 denim cut offs in the winter as I really enjoyed wearing them in the summer. Teamed with a lot of black they work perfectly.

Short and sweet today chickens manic at work retail this time of year is busy and the hours long :(((. Oh well it is also lots of fun helping guys pick pressies for their partners and I love wrapping it all nice in the box so they will get a lovely surprise when they lift the lid.

Have you guys checked out Bitching and Junkfood I totally love their clothes. I was checking out some of my favourite blogs and noticed that the lovely Betty from Le Blog de Betty was wearing a pair of Bitching and Junkfood shorts check the post out here feeling inspired I grabed a pair of pleather trousers which I got a couple of years ago and the zip had broken cut two rectangles out and stitched them on to my Levis 501 cut offs ta da. Only took about 5 mins I will do a post with them soon.

The Bitchy girls have now created a pair of customised fringed shorts for Eliza Doolittle that appear in her new video, Skinny Genes. Urban Outfitters also stock an amazing range of their clothes and accessories check their 7 Deadly Fringed shorts out here

Layer Cake

Jumper Topshop (old), Trousers H&M, Scarf Made by my Nan, Boots Topshop, Bag Gucci

Thank you for all my birthday wishes. I spent yesterday with my mum we went to Ikea yeah I know a kind of weird thing to do on a birthday and believe me I will not be doing it again lol. I went for curtains and a sheepskin rug sadly the sheepskin rug was too yellow so I decided against it but I did get my curtains. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and chilling with my mum eating cake and fish and chips.

My nanna made the scarf I am wearing for me last year it goes perfectly with my Nicole Farhi cardigan.

I treated myself to this ring check it out here. It is from Ydeltuyt I saw them on Eri from Pretty Portabello here and straight away went onto their website where they had sold out but I checked this morning and the brown one had come back in stock I put it straight into my basket you have to be quick because they sell so fast and they are stupidly cheap too. xoxo

I am wearing two of my favorite buys so far this season. I totally love this jumper and I need to check out Topshop and invest in another one of their knits and this poncho is gorgeous. I need to try it with a Chloesque kind of look teamed with shorts and over the knee boots.

I am off this week I spent yesterday decorating the spare room I just need to get the carpet down and then it is finished and then I can start on the dressing room hopefully all will be finished by the end of the week. It is also my birthday tomorrow and I am off to Ikea to get a sheepskin rug and some white sheer curtains.

Still Like New

Jeans Primark (old), Top H&M Shreaded by moi, Jacket Miss Selfridge, Boots Doc Martain, Necklace ebay

I really wish I wore these DM's more coz I hate how new they look I have had them for over a year now but never wear them that often. I love these jeans I got them on a weekend away in Torquay in Primark and as you guys all now I am a sucker for a bit of leopard print. I have also realised that my wardrobe lacks tops I need a serious top shop (ha ha Topshop) that was soooo lame.

Talking about Topshop how awesome did Miss Moss look at her opening of her last collection for Topshop. She is rocking that fringe.

Say Cheese

Dress H&M (shredded by me), Boots Topshop (old), Jacket Topshop, Snood H&M

I have a new addiction shredding after the vest I did the other week I decided that I wanted to try a dress and this is the result I am quite happy with it and I decided to go with a whole black outfit with a touch of leopard print of course. I also noticed that Alexander Wang sent a white shredded tee down the runway for his S/S11 collection maybe we will be seeing shredded tees in the stores for S/S11

Shredded

Vest Farhi (hand shredded by moi), Leggings H&M, Snood H&M, Shoes Stefenal, Cuffs French Connection

I have been meaning to shred a tee for ages and I finally got round to it this week it took about four hours and for a first attempt I am pretty pleased with it. There a few holes in it which does not look too bad I am going to do another one in black but it should be longer as it is a t shirt dress. I am also wearing the shoes I brought for my sister's wedding they have been in the wardrobe since July and I just had to wear them.

Have you guys tried this yet (shredding) ?????????

Simple

Boots Ebay, Necklace H&M, Leg Cuff DIY

After my post on the Chanel Tattoos I remembered that I made this leg cuff last year it was the chain detail on it that made me remember so I thought I would wear it today. I did get a few strange looks not sure why it is not really that way out. I had my very first spend since pay day a whole week I brought a black jersey maxi dress and a blush colour dress both from H&M. The maxi dress was such a bargain £7.99 could not really walk away from that.

What I have been doing today

Today I received my denim bum bag that I won on ebay last week for a bargain 99p so I spent the morning inspired by D&G with a bottle of bleach and my box of buttons and broken jewellery turning it into something different . I think it will look fab in the summer with stripes and denim cut offs and teamed with a white outfit.

I also ordered these clogs (1st picture) from River Island after seeing them in this weeks Grazia and only £44.99. That is another S/S essential ticked off my list which gets longer everyday. I was going to get the Mango ones (2nd picture) from ASOS but the River Island had the edge.

Black & Silver

Today I am off to where I work as they have a 20% off promotion and with my staff discount I intend to pick up some pieces that I have had my eye on for a while. Just my luck that this day fell on my week off as the last thing I want to do is go to where I work. Today my outfit is my new spotty leggings that I brought on Tuesday and as I am wearing a lot of black I decided to accessorise with silver as the polka dots on the leggings are silver my DIY body chain goes perfectly and I have finished off the outfit with Topshop fringed cardigan and Miss Selfridges boots.

Ok I was not quite feeling that look so I have changed this is what I am actually wearing omg too much time on my hands. I changed my shoes, my dress and added the hat, necklace and bangles. Oh and I seriously need to invest in a better camera or take lessons apologise :).

DIY Chain Vest

I have been looking through a few blogs and have noticed that there is a trend for the body harness or chain vest. Rumi from Fashiontoast and Queen Michelle from Style Kingdom always wear them. They have been around a while on the bloggers circuit so I decided I wanted one you can buy them on Etsy but I decided to make one. I brought 4 metres of chain from Mylers Crystals on ebay it was £2.40 + P&P. So last night while watching Xfactor with help from my mum I made one.
