Blush

DIY Vintage Floral Hand Choker

I've really been in to bracelets this month so I thought what better way to show my love than to recreate one & share this DIY with you guys! You see a lot of neck chokers in high-street stores but not many bracelet chokers so I thought I'd make one. Blush & Nude shades have really been bang on trend this year so that's where my inspiration comes from . . .

So for this DIY you will need:

+a pair of scissors

+jewellery pliers

+a pencil

+a ruler

+charms of your choice

+suede or velvet-like fabric

+gold clasps and jump-rings

+a needle

+thread matching your fabric

+lastly 2 box clasps

You want to start by measuring the width of the fabric so it matches the width of the box clasps. Use your ruler and pencil and mark out the desired width (oh and make sure you do this on the reversed side of the fabric). Once you have done that start cutting out the strip of fabric by following the lines.

You then want to attach your box clasps on to your fabric strip with your pliers, you also want to press firmly on to the ends to secure it properly to prevent it from coming loose.

Now this is my favourite part because you get to customise & choose your charms. I chose this four petalled vintage flower pendent which went perfectly with the theme I intended for.

You then want to stitch your pendent on to your fabric strip or you can opt to hot-glue it down using a hot-glue gun. I stitched my down just so it was more secure, you can't really see it in this photo but I promise you I did ;).

I hope you guys enjoyed this DIY, I love making jewellery and sharing my creations with you guys so if you have any requests for future blog posts & DIY's then leave them in the comments down below!

Bracelet Choker

Miscellaneous Monthly Must-Haves - March

Cue the monthly favourites! This month I haven't particularly been obsessed with fashion so this month it's mainly just been make-up & accessories. The weathers has finally started to get warmer & sunnier which means all the chunky knitwear can be put away unless you're like me and you live in England! Tough luck I know but anyway here are my 5 favourites for this month.

+ Collection 'Colour Lash' Clear Eye Brow Gel

I don't know what it is but I'm loving the messy brow look, you know the one where they don't look tamed and the hairs stick sort of upwards whilst still looking thick & full! Yeah? That look, this brow gel just sets your brows in place for the day without hardening up your eyebrows making them look naturally messy. . ?

+ Flat Top Concealer Brush

This brush works perfectly with this Recover & Correct Concealer for that flawless & airbrushed finish. I find it quite hard to work with liquid concealers like this one and a beauty blender so I use a brush instead for more control & it's easily blend-able.

+ Vintage Floral Suede Bracelet Choker

This choker literally screams me! No, but seriously how pretty is this blush-coloured choker? Apart from the black tattoo wrist chokers everybody has, I haven't seen many chokers in bracelet forms so I created one myself! If you guys want a DIY on this let me know in the comments down below.

+ W7 Bronze & Glow Cheek Duo

I recently mentioned this in my Tips on Dewy Looking Skin and that's because it provides the perfect highlighted skin and contoured skin! Another plus is that it's from the drug-store and so it's not crazily overpriced & the packaging is pretty! Could you ask for more? No!

+ Room Decor Inspiration

I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty bored of my room aesthetic and I want to change it up and what better way to seek new styles than décor magazines? Here are a few clippings, how comfortable does that bed look? And the simplicity of that vanity is gorgeous!

Enjoyed this month's favourites? Go take a look at my other blog posts and leave some love by commenting!

Black

Oversized Striped Shirts & Noir

A las another outfit of the day post, to be honest with you guys I've struggled quite a bit in getting decent photos this month hence the late post. Aside from that here's how I style 'oversized shirts' and for me this is a typical college outfit making it perfect for everyday wear! It's a minimal yet effortless look that is ideal for everyday wear.

This is a predominantly black outfit with pops of pink & white. I paired this white striped 'over-sized shirt' from Love Elegance with a black coat, jeans and boots. The shirt is extremely comfortable to wear and is thick making sure nothing from underneath peeks through!

Normally if I was wearing a monochrome outfit I would keep it quite simple by pairing it with my ever so worn khaki scarf but I decided to change things up (yes I'm making it sound like I made an effort because I SO did!) by opting for a blush coloured scarf. The scarf is not TOO in your face making it ideal for an everyday outfit.

So here's my chosen outfit of the day post for this month, I hope you enjoyed it and I promise you there will be better ones for the upcoming months. Let's just pray for better weather!

Palm Tree Inspired Cork Board Art

I got really bored of my Tumblr inspired polaroid cork board so I though I would revamp it in to something more useful and aesthetically pleasing. So here's a quick DIY for you guys!

+You first just want to browse the internet looking for possible quotes & images you can print out for your DIY.

+Go ahead and print them out & cut them out in to your desired shape and size.

+Take a handful of push-pins and start placing your quotes & images in the places you want to and secure them with a push pin.

+You can also add other decorative things like this cute little dream catcher (courtesy of my sister ... thanks!).

+Last but not least it's time to hang this damn cork board up!

Black jeans

Navy Blue & Noir

If you don't know already I'm a huge shirt lover! There's something so chic yet flattering about them. It's always nice to change things up a bit every now and again so instead of wearing a bog-standard white shirt I thought why not take the plunge and wear a maxi-shirt.

I love the length for starters, and secondly the print it's a classic printed flannel style shirt making it perfect for the fall time! I just paired this outfit with a pair of black Chelsea-style boots which were extremely comfortable and super cute to walk in. You can also roll the sleeves up and button it up for the 3/4 length look.

I pretty much wore all black apart from the shirt because the shirt was the main focus of the outfit. I also love how the shirt was thick enough to keep you warm but not thick enough to make you sweat (too much information . . . maybe? oh well) making it ideal for summer wear too!

Anniversary

Update & I'm Back

Hey guys so I've been a little unactive on my blog and that's simply because I've been low on inspiration, I've been ill & the weathers been pretty crappy lately. So it's been a combo of a number of things, so instead of rushing content on my blog I decided to update you guys on how I'm back!

I will be sticking to my usual 4 blog posts a month and will try my hardest to excel that like I have done previously. I have a handful of posts planned for February since it will be my 1 year blog anniversary! which I'm super excited for.

I also have some upcoming projects for this blog so stay tuned and all will be revealed in a matter of months. I also want to post more fashion related content but the only thing holding me back is the weather! So fingers crossed the weather turns out okay for the upcoming weeks.

Also if you guys want any blog posts in specific then be sure to let me know by commenting below!

Adidas

Long coat's & Tweed Scarf's

Now I've been on a hunt for a coat for the longest time by that I mean nearly for almost a year! I finally found one from H&M it's a fleece lined long coat which ties at the waist and it has gold popping buttons down the middle.

We all have those days where we really can't be bothered to make an effort with putting together a polished outfit. My solution to that would be a cosy jumper & jeans! I wore a cream coloured knitted jumper underneath with a pair of black skinney's.

Since I received this stone coloured scarf in the post I've been obsessed like I just want to wear it everyday of the week. It's so soft and easy to wear making it perfect for those early college mornings! To make this outfit more autumnal I wore a tweed scarf which has a mixture of brown, cream and orange threads running through it.

Surprisingly my burgundy backpack hasn't made an appearance in this blog post but my pom pom did! I think I have an attachment to this thing like I literally cannot let it out my sight (weird I think not!) This time I opted for this grey hand bag with gold zips down the sides which act as pockets for random things that tend to collect in my bag.

Yes I wore trainers with this outfit, I'm sorry but my feet seriously hurt from all the walking from the day before so trainers are always an option. These are just the Adidas canvas trainers in black.

Purchase the coat from H&M

Adidas

Outfit Inspiration

Here's a fall inspired outfit perfect for those chilly days where you just want to cosy up in your oversized jackets and scarf's! P.S it was an extremely windy day hence the hands in pockets and the flyaway scarf.

I've seriously been loving the trend of oversized jackets and have been wearing this dark grey cardigan/coat with faux fur lapels non-stop this fall. It's just so BIG and cosy perfect for the colder days where all you want to do is snuggle up in warm blanket.

I paired this outfit with this gorgeous khaki blouse from 'Autograph' featuring white pipelined pockets. I mentioned this a few blog posts ago in my Miscellaneous Monthly Must-haves in October and have worn it on numerous occasions. I just love the simplicity of it!

I finished off this look by pairing it with a grey scarf and these black 'Adidas' canvas trainers. Now my bag for college is this backpack from 'Newlook' in this stunning burgundy leather and yes I have a little pom pom on my bag. It's just so cute!

I hope you liked this quick outfit post, I want to try and post more fashion related content so stay tuned!

Back To School Series

OUTFIT POST

So I thought I would switch it up a bit by posting more fashion related content on my blog. This is part of my 'Back to School Series' so be sure to check out my previous blog posts for more tips and tricks for back to school!

Here's an outfit I wore a few days ago which is perfect for college or just casual days out. It may be causal but it looks well put together (if I must say so myself). I paired this white shirt from Matalan with a pair of blue denim jeans.

I absolutely adore the lace trim at the bottom it really gives an added touch to the white shirt. I then paired this outfit with these black lace up shoes with a tan bottom.
