DIY Tie Dye shorts, crop top and everything else I've recently aquired
Had a pretty hectic couple of weeks had a dyslexia screening (I am seriously challenged in the spelling/writing area), been ill, had MANY uni deadlines, but now I'm free for a bit YAY!!
So for the last couple of months I've been dying to get tie dying a bunch of stuff, my dad bought me a bunch of Dylon hand dyes but hadn't got round to actually dying anything.
Soooo.... after a hungover wonder around Waitrose my house mate Ailbhe beseeched me to get on with it yesterday and these are the results:
The results were great! My favourite is the crop top, I can't wait to wear it, styled with some black cut off Levis, denim jacket, Dr Martens and my circular sunny G's.
It was so easy.
I used this tutorial but used multiple colours.
The colours I used in Dylon hand dyes were:
Tropical green
Flamingo Pink
Ocean Blue
Intense Violet
All are available in my favourite art shop in Hoxton but are cheap with free postage here on eBay , they have 24 colours I WANT THEM ALL. I also just ought LOADS of studs from eBay, going to stud up my vtg denim jacket and the tie dyed shorts. But in the meantime I NEED TO TIE DYE EVERYTHING I OWN.
I said I would put up a photo of my new rainbow jumper I got from a charity shop on Roman Road so here you go :
How cool is that !
I also got :
Aztec holey crop top from Topshop
'Smile' belt bought by my lovely boyfriend from ASOS
I apologise for the slight shittyness of this post, I am VERY hungover from a night at The Alibi last night
These photos pretty much sum it up:
I have no idea who that man is, but he loved the shoes.
I also just remembered I had a dream I was playing football in the street with my friends, as you do, then when the ball went behind the bin and lo and behold I found a pair of ISABEL MARANT WEDGE TRAINERS!!!! Woke up feeling a little disappointed not gonna lie..
I'm going to go watch hunger games
Have a lovely Saturday :)

Sunny day, Tartan Litas and eBay vintage
I woke up this morning to lovely hot sun streaming through the window and thought ya know what? I'm going to put on less clothes than usual today. My lovely friend Hanna Hillier from The Sheet came over today and we chilled with Jackie and Patrick (my house mates) in the park. had a picnic, did some hooping drank some Thatchers Katys cider and had a generally lovely time. I'm helping out Hanna with some test shoots tomorrow for the agency she works for, just a bit of styling/waving cardboard to make the models hair blow about haha! I can't wait the last shoot she did with Gigi I got to help out with and it was so much fun.
Anyway.... this is what I wore today
Where is it from?
Head scarf : Charity shop
Necklace : Marc Jacobs
Shirt : Camden market
Top : Topshop
Shorts : Levis - Camden
Wedge trainers : H&M
MEANWHILE YESTERDAY.....
I got some fucking epic Jeffrey Campbells in the post!
Now, I'm not the kind of person to spend £120 on admittedly stupid looking shoes.... but £50 on stupid TARTAN shoes and you've got yourself a deal !
I like to think of these bad boys as the rejects of the lita crew... not all studded like the 'cool' ones that everyone wants right now, or the go with everything plain black ones, not scouse-wife enough like the glitter ones.
Tartan is where its at, punky, little bit 90's a lot of red.
Where is it from?
Denim Jacket : eBay vintage
Dress : Topshop
Shoes : Jeffrey Campbell
The satisfaction of never really having to proof read my blog (unlike uni essays, yes I have a uni shaped chip on my shoulder) is making me very smug.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY 'TERRIBLE' WRITING
:D

Uni with Dre
Today I actually got up at 9am and went into uni, which if you know me is RARE especially since I only managed three hours sleep. This was probably related to the woman that got murdered in my general area and they keep finding bits of her and I'm just generally too scared/paranoid to sleep.
ANYWAY.....
Everyone was out yesterday so took a photo of what I was wearing myself, in Ailbhe's mirror, It looks like a monster sneezed on the mirror but I like to think that gives the picture a certain je ne sais quoi.
WHERE'S IT FROM YOU SAY?
Dr Dre T shirt : DIY Primark mens t-shirt
Leather Shorts : H&M
Leather studded bag : Zara
Chain necklace : Primark - stolen from Ailbhe woops :)
