❤❤ Valentines Day OOTD | D.I.Y Vintage Two Piece ❤❤

Hey lovelies!

Today I'm bringing you an OOTD on a Thursday..(cheeky).

To celebrate the Valentine's festivities this year I thought i'd make something sweet to wear, & inspiration struck when I found a Maxi dress I'd purchased last year from Rokit!

I purchased it for just £7 from the Starship section in Rokit Camden & you can see it in action HERE in a Youtube OOTD.

I was thinking of what to create when I got the idea for a cute 2 piece outfit, There certainly was enough fabric for me to have a try!

My initial idea made use of the frilly bottom, included sleeves and a pointed collar however I opted to make it sleeveless and chose to try a Peter Pan collar. 

I started by chopping it in half to the length I wanted the skirt & just elasticated the waistband!

I used the rest of the material to make a shirt, customizing the pattern to make it smaller to use less fabric.

Here's my finished Skirt & Shirt before I made the collar & hemmed the edges.

Once I added the collar, Buttons and Hems it was finished!

I'd like to say, I have never sewn a peter pan collar before, and I'm 100% aware of how wonky it is! I'm super proud of it though it has character, it takes practice!

Here's my completed outfit with accessories!

Wonky Collar Action haha!

I had a lot of fun making this little number! It certainly gives my Maxi a new lease of life! I hope it inspires you to take something you don't wear much & turn it into something super adorable!

What's the best thing you've customized?

Happy Valentines Day!

❤ House of Harlow 1960 Arabella Bootie | A gift to myself ❤

Hey guys! I have a little post about a new pair of boots I got yesterday! I'm so excited to own them I can't even!

I've loved Nicole Richie for years and since watching her on the Simple Life I've really loved her fashion sense as she's gotten a bit older. When I heard that she had created her own brand,House of Harlow 1960 I just cried glitter, unfortunately all of it was out of my grasp in america..and out of my price range!

I was out with my sister doing a little bit of Christmas shopping, when we stumbled into TKMAXX. The place no one should ever go if they have other things to do that day! We were there for HOURS. 

I had a browse around for presents and bits and bobs and didn't see anything exciting, until we hit the shoes. THE SHOES!!!

I scanned the shelves of shoes quite eagerly, £25 Vans, £18 TUK Creepers, £35 Brogues.. Meh.

Then this beam of light hit them. The most beautiful boots ever.

I felt like Monica Geller.

They're absolutely fabulous and I never thought I could love an inanimate object so..

With a Suede outer, Wooden effect block heel and a leather insole, They're bang on the 1960's boot trend that's flying around ASOS and Topshop at the moment!

I just can't even! The price was insanely cheap! I'm not one to treat myself but my sister made the point of saying, 'If you don't buy them you'll regret it!' Which is true, I'm a guilt shopper haha! I always put the things I want back!

Anyway, that's all for now!!

I'M OFF TO WEAR ME' BOOTS
