Double Tights

Chokers - Claire's, tops - H&M and DIY tights!, belt - charity shop, skirt - River Island, socks - Urban Oufitters, shoes - Office

Pretty much half this outfit is made from tights! The top is actually made from a pair of tights that I cut up and I got the idea from Tigerlily's blog. Lydia has also just posted a post featuring this too and both girls look so awesome and lovely in their outfits, so please check them out! It is actually so easy to make this top and I just want to chop up all my tights now and make them into crop tops - I think it would look really good with a pair of lace tights, so that is what I am going to do next.

Anyway, my life has been pretty boring as of recently. I have not been invited to any Halloween parties this year which sucks balls as I love dressing up, so I just stayed in. I don't usually enjoy Halloween at home as in my area, it is usually just an excuse for delinquents in my town to be antisocial, but luckily they were rained off.

I can't believe it is getting so dark so early now (pitch black before 5.00pm!). This means there is literally no way I can blog during the school week which is so annoying as I can never get good lighting indoors. My garden is also looking so drab compared to how it looked during the summer, such as in this post with all the roses!

Also, I literally have so much homework to finish tomorrow :'( - A levels sucks - so I better get back to it. See you guys in another post.

Here's One I Made Earlier

Bowler hat - River Island, denim/paisley jacket - DIY, polo shirt - £1 shop, trousers - M&S, shoes - River Island 

This was my lazy Sunday outfit as I'm wearing tregging sort trousers - something I'd never do on a week day! I normally wouldn't post an outfit like this, but  I thought I might as well today to show you guys the denim jacket that I DIY- ed with some paisley awesomeness.

I have been in love with Sara's WAISTE denim jackets for a long time and if I had all the money in the world, I would buy them all, but unfortunately I don't, so I thought I might as well get crafty and try and make my own interpretation of one. Since I am literally in love with paisley print, I thought I'd make a paisley print denim jacket!

This jacket looks like it would've been relatively easy to make, but it certainly was not. I really wanted paisley panels, so I through a plethora of charity shops, trying to find something paisley. At last, I found a paisley quilted floor length jacket, which I cut off the ends and used the material for this DIY. Since it was quilted, I had to unpick ALL of the criss-cross stitching, in order to detach the lining and the padding. Once I had done, then I could finally attach the pieces of material.

Now, before last week, the last time I had done any sort of machine sewing was in Year 9 in our textiles lessons, so I was worried that I would be a bit rusty with it, but turned out that the sewing part was fine - getting the material so it was the right size was the hard bit!

Alas I have finally finished this jacket after 4 hours unpicking the quilting and sewing. I wish I had bought a larger jacket than this one to have done this DIY on, as I think denim jackets look better oversized, but I am, nonetheless, very happy with it! Making this jacket was actually quite fun, so watch this space - I might make some more and sell them in the near future!

That is all for today. School has been majorly stressful as of lately (doing technically 6 A level subjects, looming violin audition, running Glee Club, MD of Young Enterprise...), hence why I have had no time to update this blog. I thank all the people who have been patient and not so patient (Olivia ;)) with my sporadic posts. I will post more frequently when I have more time - half term maybe?

Ciao for now,

P.S. This is my 100th post on my blog! How time flies when you're having fun ;)

Bleached Out

Shirt - DIY, barbed wire necklace - Topshop, green denim shirt - Camden, trousers - local shop, shoes - Doc Martens

This is really awkward as I've just realised that I've got my hands on my hips in all my poses and I've used the same photograph twice by accident... I cannot be bothered to take the photos again or re-edit them, so you'll just have to excuse the terrible photos. I think this outfit would've looked awesome if I had a camouflage jacket to go with it, but since I don't, my green denim shirt which you guys are probably getting very fed up with will have to do!

I made this t shirt myself and I'm super happy with how it turned out! I will definitely be bleaching more items as there are so many possibility that you could have with this technique. One thing I forgot was that the t-shirt would stretch over my boob area, so the yin-yang sign is a bit lopsided, but it's only a minor problem. Would you guys be interested in buying t-shirts like this if I were to sell them on an on-line store (they would only cost £7.00 ish + P&P!!).

If you want to know how I made this t-shirt myself, click below to watch my tutorial. A huge thanks to MP for doing the bleaching with me and helping me film! (Please excuse the fact that the thumbnail for the video is my arse...XD)

Anyway, on the brighter side of life, I got my GCSE results yesterday! I got 11A*s, 1 A, A in AS Chinese and A in additional maths. Wooop! My dad has said that he's going to buy me a new laptop as a reward for my awesome grades, so that will mean that I will be able to edit videos which are over 5 minutes long without take a week.

You guys are awesome for still reading my blog even though I am a terrible blogger when it comes to consistency. All I know is that I am consistently inconsistent! That is mainly because I have run out of clothes to blog about, thus I will be posting more outfit posts when I acquire new clothes.

Ciao dahlings,
