It's almost Christmas:D

Only a few hours left:D

Photo bunting.

I've been wanting to make bunting to decorate my room for a while now and the other day I thought of the idea to use photo's in the triangles to make it with.  I didn't want the pictures to be too overpowering so I put old book paper on the back of each photo and then alternated them as I hung them.  I think it's really pretty and an interesting, different way to display pictures.

It was quite hard to take a picture of the whole string because it's on my ceiling so this was the best I could do.

Bubblegum princess.

Last weekend whilst looking through our dress up box in search of old bits of fabric to use as head scarves I found myself looking at old fairy and princess outfits that last fitted me around 2003.  In particular I found a pale bubblegum blue chiffon number that I can remember often strut tin aground the house in when I was five.

Here it is.

Anyway I decided that I quite liked the fabric that the bottom part of the dress was made out of, so I gave it to my gran and viola! Now it's a skirt.

Attempting to recreate the pose.

The material is super floaty and as there is lot of it when I wore it I felt like a cross between a Disney Princess and one of the girls from the movie Grease all at once

This top belonged to my gran but recently found a new home in my cupboard.

These are some of my mom's old rings from her varsity days.

My sister helped me take these photos and, like in most things we do, we soon got distracted by the daisies in the garden and so these happened.....

Backpack on my back. Woah, poetry.

This is a backpack appreciation post. That is all.

I think this is my favourite one.

Or this one.

Good morning.

Collar.

A while ago my friend, Laura, gave me this necklace for my birthday.  It's from Lovisa and I really love it.  It can totally change an outfit to be much more formal or fun and because it's white it works with almost all tops.

Cups.

I think it would be so amazing to do something like this in my room.  Yay, a new art project:D

JERSEYS.♥

This is basically a jersey appreciation post.  To put it simply, I'm obsessed with them and want to cry at the thought that in a month or two it will be way too hot to wear them.  Sniff.

Dreamy.

Seeing as though I've spent a large portion of today looking at pretty pictures on the internet I thought I'd share some of the beautiful clothes I've found that I would just love to have.  I really wish that every time I repined clothes on Pinterest they could just magically appear in my cupboards but no such luck. Sigh.

Four eyes.

I went for an eye test the other day and found myself rather disappointed when I heard I wouldn't need to get glasses just yet.  I think I'd rather fancy a pair.  (All pictures from Pinterest)

Dip Dye♥

For a while now I've found myself drooling over the dip dyed hair of girls in dreamy artsy pictures like this one: (All images from http://weheartit.com/)

I wish I was her.

First of all deciding how to do it took me a while.  There are a couple options but obviously I wanted something non- permanent which ruled out real hair dye and some stuff involving bleach.  The next option I found was food colouring.  It sounds a little dodgy but after watching a few YouTube video's it looks as though it works.  

Anyway I thought that seeing as though it is the holidays now it should be relatively safe to give it a try so that I have a couple weeks to get it out of my hair if it does turn out to be more than temporary.  I decided that I wanted to have blue tips, like in the pictures below.

Seeing as though I'm a bit of a wuss I just did one small piece of hair as a test to see how long it would take to come out.  I used this video to get the hang of how to do it:

Things you will need:

water
food coloring
hair ties
towels
hair dryer
conditioner


1. Braid hair into plaits, tying off where you want the dye to go up to.
2. Add 5+ drops of food coloring to a cup of water.
3. Dip the plaited hair ends into the cup and leave in coloring for about 2 minutes.
4.Take out of cup and towel dry.
5. Add a few drops of food coloring straight to the hair.
6. Put a small amount of conditioner on the colored hair and lather.
7. Leave conditioner in for about 2 minutes.
8. Dip back into coloring and water in cup for about 30 seconds.
9. Towel dry and blow dry the hair.

Because my hair is fairly dark it came out quite quite a lot lighter than in most of these pictures but I still quite liked it.  Also, much to my mom's delight it did come out the next time I washed it.  I would have liked for it to stay in a little longer but I guess it's not that complicated to do even if it's only for a couple days.
