diy studded jumper

diy: studded shoulders

I love the studded jumpers that Topshop have been selling but they are far too expensive! So I thought I'd have a go at a DIY. 

What you will need:

A jumper: I bought this dip dye turquoise jumper in Primark for £8. I thought it would be perfect for studding. 

Some studs: The studs were relatively cheap and I got them from >>Ebay<<. 

And a knife: I just got an old kitchen one. Preferably use a blunt knife so there's no chance of cutting yourself.

1. I chose to stud my jumper down the seam. So first I positioned the stud where I wanted it to be.

2. I pushed the legs through the jumper, this was easy because the material wasn't that thick.

3. Using a knife push the legs inwards

4. Make sure the legs go into the stud, this anchors the studs better and stops them from working themselves out of the jumper.

I decided to use 5 studs on each shoulder, you could use more or less depending on what you want.

This is a great way to be right on trend with spending very little money! I have a video below of me studding the jumper, if you want to check it out :)

I dyed my pixie cut

So I dyed my pixie cut with nice'n easy 120C natural dark chestnut brown. 

The colour before was a boring and drab blonde so I wanted to get rid of it.

And I thought why no go darker to see what it would look like.

I followed the instructions and everything went well. I also filmed me dying my hair so check out the video below.

The colour is pretty close to the lady on the box which is always a good sign.

The dye and the conditioning gloss has left my hair in great condition. I can't stop running my hands through it!

And a picture of me covering my face because I have no makeup on and serious bags of Gondor, for some strange reason.

And here's what the colour looks like with curly hair :)

Hello Everyone! I've been a busy bee lately. I always get super bored with my room and furniture in general and I wanted something different. I bought the wooden storage box from Ikea (Ikea Hol) a few months ago but I felt it didn't really fit into my room. So I decided to buy some fabric off of Ebay (Ebay seller). I bought 3 units, measuring 48cm x 135cm(19'' x 53''), this managed to cover 3 full sides! I just pinned it into place.

Then I put all my little quirky things on top of it to finish it off...

Lantern - Ikea, Box - TKMaxx, Vase&Flower - Habitat, Wooden Heart - Listers, Shabby Chic Book - TKMaxx, Makeup Brushes - A mixture, Blue Vase - Listers, Owl - Ebay.

DIY: Ombre Hair from Blonde

So I bit the bullet and dyed my hair ombre from blonde and I am super pleased.

To start with I was getting so bored with my constant roots and had been contemplating dying it ombre for a while. So today I plucked up the courage and drove to Boots to get me some hair dye. I chose the Clairol Nice'n Easy foam dye in 7 Dark Blonde. Since I thought that this would match my roots/natural hair colour the most.

I started off by sectioning my hair and decided I would dye my top layers first (which I did). I left the dye on for 20 minutes. I then proceeded to 'lightly' dye the mid lengths of my bottom layers. I only left the dye on for about 7 minutes and quickly hopped in the shower. Since I wanted to achieve the gradient look! 

I washed it with the conditioner supplied and let it air dry.

I love having a new hair colour or style, its quite refreshing!
