Sci-Fi Silver

I got myself an amazing new skirt from Primark. I love the silver pleated material as it looks almost sci-fi! I wore it with my Topshop jumper and red creepers. Take a look!

What do you think of the outfit? Would you wear it? 

Snap Happy

I recently got myself a brand new Canon EOS 1100D Digital SLR. I have to say I am in LOVE! I have been taking pictures all the time. Here I have taken a few pictures of me with my camera and there are also some pictures I have taken in my flat, basically me just playing around with the camera.

Perfect in Purple

So I am a relentless hair dyer and recently got bored of my pinky-red hair colour and thought, what is next? After trolling the Internet and thinking of ideas I suddenly thought that purple would look amazing. I asked my friends to see what they would think and they all went with me on the idea. So here guys is my result!  

Do you think any of you would ever dye your hair a strange colour? If so what?

Dearest Apologies

My lovely followers I start off with a MASSIVE apology for being neglectful and ignoring my blog for the past week or so but I do have an excuse and a good one, I promise! I have just started back at College and been super busy starting new art projects (which I bet your dying to see haha) and have not had time to post regularly but I am now slightly more settled and have written some posts for you guys to enjoy. So whats to look forward to you ask? My new bright purple hair, some pictures I have taken towards the end of my Summer and some art work maybe? But lets get on with this post. Today's post is all about my new studded collar blouse I got which I love and the outfit that I put together with it, I hope you enjoy!

Top- Primark, Shoes- River Island, Shorts- Topshop

Time to revamp those t-shirts

Being a Fashion and Textiles student I always love to re-work clothing rather than throwing it away and recently I seen a image on pinterest showing a great DIY on reworking a t-shirt (if you recognise this DIY as your own from pinterest give me a message and I shall credit you). It involves an old t-shirt, a pair of scissors (fabric scissors preferably, only because they cut the fabric more easily) and ribbon.
This is the t-shirt I chose to customise because it never fits well and I never wear it because of that reason.

As I said earlier you can use normal scissors for this but it makes it allot easier if you have fabric scissors these are mine.

So with my scissors I cut the sleeves off, lowered the neckline and adjusted the hem like so.

We are nearly done, easy isn't it? so now turn over your t-shirt and grab the two back sleeves like so.

And this is when we need the ribbon I have a nice purple ribbon. You don't want the ribbon to be too thick because the straps of the top are thin so you want a thin ribbon to match. So tie your ribbon so that it joins the sleeves together and taaahhhdaaahhh your done!

The finished effect!

Now to try it on

What do you think? Do you think you would try it out?

Keep your eyes peeled in the next week as I will be doing some more DIY's

The more the merrier

Everyone loves their jewellery and anybody who knows me, knows that I always like to wear lots of bracelets. So recently I was thinking about layered jewellery and about how sometimes wearing one or two necklaces at the same time actually makes a nicer effect. So I have taken some pictures of some layered jewellery that I like from my jewellery box.

Layered bracelets from Topshop, Joe Browns, some are gifts and the rest I got from a festival. 

I love this necklace! It looks like loads of necklaces but its actually just one big one. I got it from River Island years ago and always use it to make a boring top look more interesting.

The bow necklace I got from a shop in Edinburgh called Pie in the Sky which is an amazing wee independent shop. The other necklaces I got as gifts.

This necklace I got from Primark. I love the print on the fabric of this necklace and I also love the pearly beads that hang from the ties.

This is a necklace I got from Topshop and it is a three tier necklace, so each pendant hangs slightly higher than the next. With the necklace I added another pendant which is the little Umbrella which I got as a gift.
