Easter, Bristol, hangovers and DIY : Safety-pin cross T
The past week has been the best I have had in ages, although it has rendered me completely skint.. no I mean dirt poor. I got to go home to Bristol for the first time since January (seems like eternity), got to attend my first Shapes, was pretty good and
best of all it's a night put on by some of my nearest and dearest friends. Loads of amazing people
Above : Me and Anne Marie drunking it up - Check out her nails SO GOOD!
Despite being of questionable sobriety all night I managed to catch lots of what was going on , I especially enjoyed Pardon my French and of course the Lovely Fuz, threw a lot of SHAPES Definately check this night out if you are in the West Country soon, the Actual DJ Jazzy Jeff is heading up the next night look here.
YES THE ACTUAL JAZZY JEFF
But now I'm back in London and back to work, which may I add is going terribly. Being a shot girl is so hard, I'm not pushy enough for sales, the kind of people who tend go to the clubs I work in are vile, I really don't like men or the women who are bitchy to me because they think I'm hitting on their scum-bag boyfriends GET A LIFE! The things I do for money hmmmm...
Sorry rant over.
Anyway because of my lack of work I have had to reinvent stuff I already have
like this American Apparel tank DIY with safety pins:
Pretty self explanatory really, so easy and I LOVE it. Also cracking out the purple lipstick lately has have a great reaction, in the above photo, I'm wearing Revlon - Va Va Violet.
But anyway today I went to the doctors and decided to dress up seeing as I haven't emerged from my room for 24 hours after Fabric the other night. I don't even know half of what went on, all I
know is Christian , If you are out there HEEEY MAAAN!
I love how the tie dye came out in these shorts, pastels are sick ! I wore the oversized sheer shirt to offset the tightness of the shorts/ attempting some kind of volume like the current trend (I naturally gravitate to tight clothes), I did spend the whole day pulling these out of my bum - however I still looked good n'est-ce pas?
Where Is It From ?
Shirt : H&M
Shorts : Charity Shop £2.50 DIY cut and dyed
Boots : Dr Martens
Cross Necklace: Topshop
Quartz chain necklace : Borrowed from Anne Marie , thanks man :)
As I insist every year, I only received Kinder Easter Eggs thanks to my lovely father.
Why isn't everything made of Kinder?

One time, at band camp, I made a STUDDED SHOULDER DENIM JACKET
Sorry guys gonna be a short one.
Today I received some lovely studs in the post that I ordered off eBay last week. They were supposed to be to stud my friends clothes.... but I couldn't resist studdifying my denim jacket.
So I always make shit and don't post a tutorial, this time I thought I would (even though this is unbelievably easy to do)!
<-
You will need:
Studs (I used 0.5 inch ones) - lots like 50
Craft knife
Pointy little pliers
and a denim jacket
The pickys tell you what to do
Although some of them are a bit unclear, feel free to ask if you're not sure :)

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 :)
