A Bunch Of DIYs That Unfortunately I Cannot Show You!

Not a huge amount of point to this post really except so you know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.

I've done a bunch of DIYs recently and have a few more planned. But the boy as gone on a little trip to Prague which means I am sans even remotely usable camera (ie his phone).

Off work on Tuesday, can't wait, so I am going to attempt to take some pics with mine but I doubt it's gonna come out all that well.

Also, I still really want to do a DIY of the Miu Miu socks but can't find beige over the knees anywhere but River Island's website and they're quite pricey with p+p etc. Any ideas?

P.S. Got my hair cut a little shorter as I just couldn't do anything with it that didn't take like an hour. Thankfully because it was under two weeks since I originally had it done they did it for free as well. Much happier now, but I do think when it needs a trim that I may go a little shorter again.......

Car Booty

Quick post to show you what we picked up at a car boot sale on Bank Holiday Monday. I know someone who's sold here a few times and someone else who's shopped it on it's usual Sunday trading day. It was good but there weren't that many amazing finds (the girl who's been before picked up some gorgeous gold jewellery and a vintage Brownie camera for 20p!). It was still probably one of the best we've been to though so think we'll leave it a couple of weeks and go again when I have a Sunday off work.

Glass Sweets Jar - I'm amassing quite a collection of these to house, amongst other things, buttons, beads and Barry M nail polishes


Yellow pyrex gravy boat and plate - to replace the plain white china one that cost 99p but is quite frankly boring

Red plastic chain necklace from Mango - should look good with my Sweet & Sour nautical themed tee (£2.99 thrifted) or my navy and white stripe crop tee (TS)


Mini tea set - there's a very obvious DIY jewellery project here but I'd like to make it a bit edgier...will keep you posted

Coming Soon To A Blog Near You

Just wanted to give you a little heads up that over the next few weeks I'll be posting a flurry of DIY projects I'm going to be undertaking.

I've always been into adapting my clothes and used to make and sell jewellery on Etsy but finding, buying and moving into the house meant all of that got put on the back burner.

Now I finally feel like I can start getting back into it. I've just trawled through the DIY section of all the blogs I follow and am feeling uber inspired!

If I can get my butt in the shower this morning my plan is to whip up a little cushion cover on the sewing machine and then adapt a tee - I'm also hoping to hit up the local charity shops today so will post on this t-shirt revamp project as and when.

I have few other ideas up my sleeve as well and one big project that I'm very excited about and will let you in on when it's nearer to completion. For now it's just gna be a few little revamps until I can get back to my Mama's house to finally grab the last of my stuff, most of which is of a crafty persuasion.

Over and out for now xoxo

MIU MIU Socks...To D.I.Y. For

How amazing are these Miu Miu sequin embellished knee socks. But with a price tag of £245 (WTF, they're only cotton socks!!!???) I think I'll be doing my own DIY version in time for autumn. If you have money to burn the black version is sold at Net-a-Porter.com.

Pondering how to wear them?
They kinda look like embellished knee high boots don't they? My DIY version will probably be paired with Topshop nude leather ballet pumps that I plan on buying when I go back to work.

The nude colour palette was continued throughout the MIU MIU a/w 09-10 ready to wear show as well. I have a major obsession with all things nude at the moment!

Which is causing me a slight problem in picking a colour of Le Sac dress from American Apparel. Yes, it's another 'Ways To Wear' piece. £34 for 6 different looks = £5.66 per dress (not including the infinite possibilities you can come up with yourself). You can't even get a dress for that price at Primark, and even if you could it would probably fall to pieces after a couple washes (this is the logic I will be using to convince the boy to let me buy).
