Back to Cool Campaign Remix #1 (part 3)

(See part 1 here and 2 here.) Remix 1.3: I miss my pink bob :( I restyled my wig (ie, shoved it all up in my boater hat) to turn it into a wavy pink bob and had a wave of longing for my old hair. Maybe I'll just bleach it again... even though it's kind of falling out from overdying.. A cropped jumper and thick white tights turns this part 3 remix into a wintery outfit. wearing dress - The White Pepper c/o Chictopia Shop, shoes - Label Shoes c/o Chictopia Shop, belt - Vintage, necklace - Wholesale, sweater - random markets, tights - c/o Oasap I hope you guys enjoyed these three remix posts! Thanks heaps to Chictopia Shop for providing the dress, shoes and pink gradient tights. Make sure to go and check out their Back to Cool sale! Here is the the Back to School Remix #1 in review: I love remixes! They're actually really useful because they force me to try and wear a couple of items in a bunch of different ways, so I can wear them more than once yet still feel like I'm wearing a fresh outfit. This is especially useful when you live in a place with extremely sporadic weather, like I do. I'll be doing another series of remix posts with Chictopia again in just a couple of days, so keep an eye out for them!

Back to Cool Campaign Remix #1 (part 2)

See part 1 here. Remix 1.2: A tie-up shirt turns this summery dress into an autumn ensemble. And how freaking cool are these shoes? I am in love with them. Even though I'm not so great at balancing in them. I maaay have fallen over the other day while I was just standing there. Which is probably the most embarassing way to fall over in shoes. Not doing anything tricky, not dancing, just... standing. Oh dear.       wearing dress - The White Pepper c/o Chictopia Shop, shoes - Label Shoes c/o Chictopia shop, shirt - c/o Oasap Keep an eye out for part 3!

Back to Cool Campaign Remix #1 (part 1)

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was collaborating with Chictopia for their "Back to Cool" Campaign and shop sale. Anyway, I managed to get for myself a couple of the items from the Chictopia sale! And I put together three "back to school" outfits for you guys using some of those items. This is the first part of the first remix, and the next two parts will be posted real soon over the next few days. When I was at school, I wore a disgusting yellow and maroon uniform every. day. Because of my brother's high school graduation, all my favourite online stores having Back to School Sales, and generally feeling really old, I've been really nostalgic in the last few weeks for a high school experience that I never had, with school proms and hallways with lockers and, basically, the worlds of Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You all rolled into one. I have to remind myself I did not actually go to high school in an American teenage movie and high school was never that fun for me. If I had been able to wear whatever I wanted though, gosh it would have been cool to be able to wear these outfits. Remix 1.1: I mixed this fruit-print dress with a pastel pink satchel bag and the prettiest pink dip-dye tights. The tights are still on sale, and there are a couple left if you want to get yourself a pair! wearing dress - The White Pepper c/o Chictopia Shop, tights - Choies c/o Chictopia Shop, bag - c/o Wholesale, shoes - Vintage Check back soon for the next two remix outfits!

DIY Suspender Skirt

I made a pretty suspender skirt the other day, and I want to share with you how I did it. All you need to do is follow my "how to make a circle skirt" tutorial (here), but STOP before adding the waistband. Instead of adding a waistband like in that tutorial, we are going to do this: - Make the inner circle much larger than your waist - so add a couple of inches to the diameter. Make sure you can easily get it on over your thighs (this was a bit of a problem with the last tutorial). - Then, do this to the inner circle: It's kind of a pain to do because it's a circle, but it can be done. So persevere! Here's some neat instructions for creating a waistband tube thingy and inserting elastic. - Then we need to add suspenders. This just involves cutting out two long strips like this (make sure they will go from your waist up to your shoulders and down again, then add a little bit more): folding in half lengthways, and sewing all the way down the edge of both folded strips like this: then turning these strips/tubes inside out (here's a link to a really good tutorial on that part) and sewing them onto your skirt waistband, wherever you want the straps to sit! wearing: skirt - DIY, t-shirt - forever 21, shoes and bag - vintage Hope you're all having a super nice day! Please ask in the comments below if you've got any questions, and I'll try and get back to you ASAP!

Scholarly

After looking at myself in the mirror and seeing that I'd accidently dressed like a librarian/kindergarten teacher, I decided to forgo a bag and hold my heaps old school copy of Alice in Wonderland instead. I've had this beautiful book since I was little. It's got the cutest illustrations! I get so excited whenever I find any collared shirt or jumper now I've got these Lady Ties in my possession, because they add so much personality and prettiness to anything with a collar. I got this cropped jumper the other day from a charity store because I knew how perfectly it would go with this lady tie. I wasn't wrong! wearing:  sweater - vintage, tie - c/o Flapper Girl, skirt - from my friend, tights - c/o Oasap, shoes - Wholesale, belt - Vintage, hat - c/o Wholesale How are you guys going?

Painting Icecream on my Bedroom Wall..

Yep... well... the title basically explains it all. They're icecreams, and I painted them on my bedroom wall. They're directly opposite from my bed so it's nice to stare at them for a while when I wake up. What's not so great is that it often makes me want icecream for breakfast.
