❤ Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn | Funny Face Style ❤


The Queen of Chic, Audrey Hepburn would have turned 85 yesterday! She was one of my favorite actresses when I was young, even more so now & her clean and chic style has been imprinted in the fashion world ever since her Debut in Roman Holiday (1953).

Her beauty is flawless, personality beautiful and her acting left us all wishing we could be one of the characters she portrayed! 
One of my favorite films of Audrey's was Funny Face, Such a beautiful film with lots of colorful imagery and brilliant songs! 


From this film, there's a specific scene that melts into my mind, Where Audrey looks the epitome of Parisian Chic, Wearing all black and some loafers. 
During this scene she's doing some very snazzy interpretive dancing. This dance was later used for a GAP advert in 2006, promoting GAPS Black Trousers.

So, to celebrate the Chic Queen's Birthday, Here's a Funny Face inspired outfit I've put together!

Long Sleeved Rib Top
£10


ASOS Trousers with High Waist
£22

Downton Bow Trim Loafer
£165

Team this look with a Sleek Ponytail, and socks, for Parisian Perfection!Although simple, This look is effortlessly chic and genuine!

I hope you liked this, I'd love to do more outfit inspired posts in the near future!

| Simple D.I.Y | Pom Pom Pillow Cases |




Here's a simple textiles D.I.Y for you to try at home! It's very sweet and adds a little Kitsch touch to any plain bed cover!

What you will need:

  Pillow Cases

 Pom Pom Garland

 Needle & Thread
or
 A Sewing Machine




Step One:

Choose your Pillow cases & Garland.
I purchased by Bed covers from Tesco, But they are no longer available! However I found this cute monochrome Zig-Zag/Stripe Bedding in Wilkinson's Available here.
Alternatively, There's also a Monochrome Dog-tooth Version, here.

I purchased my Pom Pom Garland from Hobbycraft where it's £2.00 per meter. It's available to buy online from their website in lots of colors here.

I got Three Meters and had some spare from this D.I.Y :-)



Step Two:

Pin your Pom Pom Garland along the seams of your pillow case, taking care to observe the way it hangs, if you want your pom poms to stand out you need to attach them so that when the pillow is turned the opposite way they stick out! 
So sew the the opposite way to the way up!
Tip:
Don't forget to choose a thread color that blends in.



Make sure you keep the fabric and the Garland taught so they sew straight, you don't want to be left with parts that are loose or the Garland will catch easily!


Make your way all around the pillow case leaving the opening, Once your pillows are lined up the Pom Poms will meet in the middle anyway!

That's Virtually it!


Step Three:

Fill your pillow cases with pillows and enjoy!!

They are so sweet and make any bed a little funky! Use clashing colors to get a really Kitsch look!
Why not add pom poms to throw pillows too? Or Lampshades! I just love how crazy and cute they look! That's all for now, Hope you give this one a try!

| Coral Cutie | May 2014 |

Hello! Just a quick Outfit for you!



I love this dress! My sister gave it to me as it doesn't fit her anymore. It's so cute and I wasn't sure how the coral/pink was going to look with my bright hair but it's a very sweet combination.
I paired this with an up do to show off the criss-cross back & put a leopard belt to add a pop of pattern for contrast!
I'd team this with a cream cardie and some sandals if I were leaving the house, However it's raining...ew!
