37. Primark Jacket

I recently picked up this jacket from Primark for only £26! Jackets are probably my favorite thing, theyr're so easy to make a statement with over a plain outfit. I love the monochrome colour scheme and I feel like it Naomi Clarke (90201) when I wear it. Such a great peice of tailoring for such a great price!

I teamed my jacket with my lime green peplum top, shiny black leggings and plain black heels and a statement spike necklace.

I have just booked my holiday so I am finally allowed to get excited!! Trying not to spend any money on holiday clothes as I have so many that I didnt wear from last year! I just can't wait to spend a week in the sun with my boyfriend, we've found a gorgeous hotel in Tunisia but never been before, have any of you? Any tips of things to do, what its like ectt?

35. Birthday Dress

This week I celebrated my 22nd birthday, can't belive I'm getting so old! Last saturday I went out with the girls to celebrate. I wanted a really nice dress but had a nightmare finding one. I have had my eye on one from Virgo's Lounge for weeks but since Miss Lydia Bright from TOWIE has been pictured in it it has been sold out :(. I ended up hitting the shops in a blind panic a few days before and buying everything as 'back up's' that caught my eye but wasnt happy with any of them. Finally on friday night at around 7pm, Lipsy popped into my mind, I looked on their webesite and ordered two dresses with next day delivery but not hopeful they would come in time, but they did! 10am saturday morning and they were here and I fell in love with this mint green number. The peplum waist is really on trend and I love the sequin bust detail for a bit of glamour. Perfect party frock and it was only £55!

Dress - Lipsy, Shoes - ASOS

34. DIY Shorts

Hi Everyone, sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have been so boring, I have a few things lined up for this week though!

The other night while sorting out the loft I came across a big pile of my Mam's old jeans, She did'nt want them any more so I thought I'd have a go a a bit of DIY with them and turn them into shorts. I really like the Ragged Priest things so took a bit of inspiration from that. Since ordering the star studs of eBay for my denim jacket I have been obsessed with studding everything! Also tie dying everything, I will have nothing left in its original condition soon!

Here's how my two favorite pairs turned out.

I love the effects of both of these pairs, I cant belive how cheap these looks are to achive when they are so expensive to buy! Definatley worth a go!

33. DIY - Body Chain / Necklace

After catching up with the latest gossip on the daily mail website I came across a picture of Jess Wright from TOWIE and it gave me ispiration to make my own body chain, I knew we had loads of pieces of chain laying about in our sewing room so I dug them all out and began. I know these are really expensive in the shops I payed around £20 for a really simple one, I wish I had just made one now, I already had the chain but it is really cheap to buy from a craft store.

Inspiration



What you will need - Chain, as much or as little as you'd like and in any colour - Some Scissors to open up the chain links - Plyers to close the links back up - Some clips, I already had this chain with two clips on, I think it may have originally been a bag handle but you can get clips from craft stores.

I used the thicker chain I had found as my base but if you can't find anything like that measure a piece that fits your neck and attach the clips and start building up the chains in any style you like.

It is really simple to attach the chains to each other. Use the scissors to open the link up, place it around the chain your attaching it too and close with the plyers. It can get quite fiddley but once you get the hang of it it get's easier.

Keep trying it on to see where the chains need adding and there you have it your very own body chain or necklace!

I might move some of the chains around once I see it on with a propper outfit but I'm really please with how it has turned out, I think it will create a real statement to a plain outfit.

Give it a try!

32. DIY - Star Studded

When I get bored I like to try and do something 'productive', this usually involves ruining something!! I had ordered some studs a few weeks ago for a DIY project and totally forgot about them so while I've been bored over this really long bank holiday It was perfect timing to come across them. I got this denim jacket about 3 years ago from Primark and cut the sleeves off last year, I thought I'd jazz it up a little, well alot, with the studs.

Before

After

I bought the star studs off ebay, I paid around £7.00 for all of them. I got 100 of the large ones and 300 of the smaller ones and still have loads left that I'm going to put on some denim shorts or maybe a T-shirt. They push threw the denim really easily, such a cheap, easy way to update old clothes and make something original which I love!

I'm trying to update alot of old clothes for my holiday this year as I'm on a budget but want to create some new looks so expect some more posts like this soon :)

Last night I went for a meal and a few drinks with my Boyfriend and some friends. This is what I wore..

Necklace - River Island, Vest - Urban Outfitters, Blazer - Topshop,

 Leggings - Graffiti, Shoes - River Island, Bag - Charity Shop

I love my fake disco pants, I just want to wear them all the time! I think I might buy the real version in navy after my birthday, they make everything look that bit cooler. I found this great bag in a charity shop, I've only just recently started looking in charity shops but been so suprised of all the great finds for so cheap! Can't wait to discover more.

Today I'm on a mission to raise holiday funds so putting loads of stuff on eBay! I will put a link to my shop on later tonight when I've finished so you can have a browse. I've also gone tie dye crazy latley so will be showing you all my latest creations!
