BLACK & BLANC: Tassel

Embroidery, Tassels & Crystals | Quiz Clothing | AD

Quiz clothing, a company that is relatively new to me but intrigues me with their sense of styling & fashion. I've popped into my local Quiz store and I have to say their clothes are gorgeous, especially their dresses. While they are known for their occasion wear like their going out dresses, their casual pieces are a must for the everyday girl. I'm going to share some of my favourite picks from their website.

+ Flower embroidered shirt

Embroidery has not lost its shine and is here to stay for another season. I love a classic striped shirt but this one has a little more detail with the flowers and can look great dressed up or down and is perfect for the warmer months.

+ White strappy sandals

These heels are a staple when it comes to shoes especially for going out, the block heel makes it more comfortable but also more stable. I love the fact that they're white, you can wear an all-black outfit and switch it up by wearing contrasting heels.

+ Rose gold Tassel earrings

Tassel earrings have been all the rage! I love them they're so trendy with high street stores selling them in every possible style & shade. I adore the pink colour of these, they're a little more subtle as the tassel is a little slimmer than your usual one, nonetheless they are great for adding a little something to a casual outfit.

+ Nude velvet clutch

This is the epitome of millennial pink and I am living for this bag. It's the perfect combination of pink, velvet & crystals, 3 things I absolutely adore. This clutch is great for any outfit, it's small but is sure to make a statement.

+ Nude Palazzo trousers

You guys know how obsessed I am with trousers, whether it's a classic black pair or a more fun pair they're just so comfy but so put-together. I really like colour of these, they're a little different as they are warmer shade of nude. Palazzo trousers are everywhere and are a great alternative to a dress when it comes to going out.

Miscellaneous Monthly Must - Haves | May

I find it unbelievable as to how we are only a few weeks away from exams, well me anyway I know that several people have exams this month to which I wish you all the best. I'm not going to lie blogging and doing exam revision is a bit of handful however, I have a number of posts planned so hopefully it'll all go swiftly. For this month I have more accessories to show you simply because I'm a creature of habit when it comes to clothes as much as I love wearing statement pieces there's nothing easier than just pairing a shirt with jeans especially for Spring.

+ H&M Blue wash Denim Jeans

I have not stopped wearing these blue jeans ever since the weather got a tad bit better, they fit perfectly and look good paired with pretty much anything. A good pair of skinny fit blue jeans is a staple.

+ Coloured bracelets

In the warmer months I love layering bracelets because they add a pop of colour and just a little something to your outfit. These crystal ones are my favourite and I've also mentioned them here.

+ Red and Pink Tassle bag

I recently mentioned this in my How to Style Mini bags blog post, this has quickly become my go-to bag for when I want to carry the bare minimum: my phone, wallet and maybe a lipstick. I actually DIY'ed this bag by adding the tassels on making it super trendy.

+ Nip & Fab Highlighter & Eyeshadow Palette

You guys already know how much I love both these palettes, they've quickly become part of my everyday make up routine. Both the products are easy to blend and unbelievable pigmented. They have to be my favourite products from the Nip & Fab makeup launch.

DIY Tassel Pillow Cover

I have not done a DIY in what feels like the longest time but truth be told I haven't really been inspired to create or make anything but this tassel pillow cover has been on my to do list ever since I laid my eyes on similar ones from Zara & H&M home. This is probably one of the more simpler DIY's perfect for everyone (even those who claim they can't make or do anything creative, we all know we've heard that excuse before).

For this DIY you will need the following:

+Different Coloured Threads

+A needle

+A Pair of Scissors

+PVA glue or fabric glue

+A Pillow case

The first step is to simply bunch up your thread using your fingers, all you have to do is grab one end and wrap it around your four fingers until you are happy with the amount. You will need to repeat this for all the colours of your chosen thread along with the number of tassels you would like, I chose to do 12. The more times you wrap the thread around your fingers and the greater loops you create the fuller your tassel will be at then end, keep that in mind!

You then need to select one of your coloured threads again to create the loops for your tassels, simply pinch the tops and wrap the thread around the top a few dozen times just to secure it and then repeat this will all your tassels.

We're almost done, simply snip the ends of the loops to create the tassels. They may look messy but don't worry we'll be fixing that later, the most important thing right now is to make sure they actually look somewhat like tassels and not loose pieces of string.

Time to neaten things up a bit! Trim the ends of the tassels just so they are all of a similar length and here's where the PVA/ fabric glue comes in to hand. The glue is to stick the loose ends together at the top where we made the loops with the separate pieces of string.

All you gotta do now is position your tassels on your pillow case, I made 12 so there would be 4 down each side but you can space them however you like. Last but not least grab your needle and feed some thread through so you can stitch the tassels on to your pillow case, alternatively you can use glue but stitching it on is a lot more secure.
