Absence.

OVER THE PAST MONTH, I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINKING AND SOUL SEARCHING. life has changed, for the better or worse i am not sure yet. THIS quote I found pretty much sums up what everyone should be doing with their life and is what i will be aiming to do from now on.

 i say this now but i know life is not that easy. lets give it a go anyway.

hope everyone had a fantastic christmas and an amazing new year to come.

New necklace I bought on the internet a few weeks ago. I love how it is such a chunky mess, it is such a nice addition to any outfit. xx

Summer Santa

supre singlet, dont ask amanda shorts, rubi shoes, sportsgirl hat, diva necklace, dangerfield sunglasses, princess highway bag.

Yay Christmas is coming! You know how I know this? Maybe because of the giant Santa next door! I am starting to get worried though, there's only about two and a half weeks until Christmas and I haven't done nearly all of my shopping. Have you done yours? x

Leopard doesn't change its spots

alyssa wears: mink pink dress, lipstik shoes, collette clutch.

hannah wears: glassons dress, collette clutch, novo shoes.

Some friends are very lucky to be able to share clothes. With one of my friends in particular, we can take the same item of clothing and transform it in to a completely different style to each others. So really we can share everything! As you can see above, this friend of mine is Hannah and she is wearing my dress and my clutch. I am wearing Hannah's dress. The only thing we can't share is our shoes (much to Hannah's dismay) as we are different sizes. 

I would love to be able to tell you that I have saved much money from doing this but really I haven't. I usually just go out and buy more clothes when I want them rather than just checking out my friends wardrobes, but it's always nice to have some backup. xx

DIY - shredded singlet

I was going through my wardrobe last week and pulled out a few items I never wear and don't really like. Instead of just throwing them out or using them as rags I decided to play around with them and see if I could make them wearable again. 

I have really been inspired by fringing for the last few seasons, I love everything with fringing (I've been looking for a reasonably priced fringed bag for agessssss!). So this was my inspiration for this funny coloured asymmetrical singlet top from glassons which I'm pretty sure I found on the sale rack and bought it for the sake of buying something.

Because the back is shorter and sits just above the bum, I only shredded the front of my top.

1. Turn the top inside out and with a pencil draw a line where you want to cut strips up to. It's best if you try the top on first and work out how high you want it.

2. Cut in a straight line up the middle of the top up to the line you drew.

3. Continue cutting strips up all the way to the side, I did mine in all different thicknesses so it was nice and rough looking.

4. Finish cutting up the whole front of the top to the line drawn. 

Voila!

What do you think? Quick, easy and cheap to add a little quirkiness to my festival outfit. xx
