Lumberjack.

Hello everyone. Sorry It's been a while but I honestly haven't been wearing anything worth documenting of late. Need to get my arse in gear.

Moving on, here is what I wore today, and as you can see I am sporting a rather dashing checked shirt which my brother got me for Christmas from a charity shop. He's learning well. I decided to keep the rest of the outfit simple by teaming the shirt with a plain white T-shirt and denim shorts for an easy casual look.

 Shirt: Charity Shop

T-shirt: Stolen from friend

Denim Shorts: DIY

Big Elephant Necklace: Ebay

Little Elephant Necklace: Mum's

Long Red Necklace: DIY

*Yet another pirate pose for your entertainment*

Not sure If you can really see it or not (note to self: take detail shots) but I made the red necklace myself using a broken keyring my boyfriend got back from Turkey and some red cotton. Now let me tell you plaiting that red cotton together was the worst idea I have ever had, took blooming ages. So I've decided to order some leather cord off Ebay when my funds allow it so I can have a go at making my own jewelery and sharing it with all of you, of course. So watch this space.

Also, my yoga DVD came in the post, woo!

Because my friend said Frank Turner was a babe, and I couldn't agree more.

Preppy

Hope you're all having a great Friday, personally I have been longing for this weekend so bad. I need sleep! Alas, it's my brothers birthday tomorrow so I'll be up bright and early as I'm taking him for a ride on a steam train, which is gonna be really cute.

I wanted to wear something comfortable and easy yesterday as I was in one of those ergh moods so I donned the t-shirt I got my boyfriend for Christmas and a comfy jumper.

DIY

I've wanted to try bleaching clothes for ages and when I got a hole in a pair of old leggings I thought 'what a great opportunity to hack away at them and throw on some bleach'. It turned out to be the easiest DIY I've ever done so there's no excuse for you to not try it too. 

You will need:

•  Leggings
• Scissors  
• Bucket
• Water
• Bleach
• Squirty bottle thing

Take your old pair of leggings and lay them out flat and decide the length you want them to be, I wanted mine to be about the same length as a pair of cycling shorts. Fold your leggings in half and cut across in a straight line.
 

Wet the area of the leggings that you want to bleach and squeeze the excess water out. Then add water to the bucket and bleach. About 4 cups water to 2 cups bleach.
 

Dip your leggings into the water up to the point where you dampened them earlier. Use something like a hair clip or a clothes peg to secure the leggings on the side of the bucket. 

After about half an hour they will begin to change colour, the colour they turn all depends on the original colour of your leggings. As mine are grey they first turned a deep red and then a light pink the longer they stayed in the bleach. I left mine in the bucket over night. 

 

I wanted to add a splattered effect up the legs of the leggings instead of just having a straight line. So i took an old squirty bottle (technical term I have you know) and filled it with neat bleach, You could add a little water to it if you don't the splatters to come out too light.

 

I spritzed the leggings like so and left them to develop until I was happy with how they looked. Once you are happy with them, take them out and give them a good rinse before popping them in the washing machine. Do put them in on their own otherwise if there is any bleach left in them you might end up bleaching everything else that's in the wash.

Once dry they should look something like this! I was going to add some lace round the bottom but couldn't find any so that's something to add to my shopping list. Though I quite like them like this too. Just need some nice weather now. 

Hope you enjoyed this and if you have a go do let me know as I'd love to see your DIY's. 

I'll post an outfit with these soon, but until then here's something to listen to whilst you're bleaching away.

Leopard

Hello readers! Yes all six of you! I managed to drag my lazy ass out of bed this morning and go to school (because I'm a dedicated student and all that shiz) but to cheer me up I thought I'd wear my new Ebay purchase. Now, I have never worn/bought anything leopard print before. 

In actual fact I really disliked it. That is until I got the sudden urge to deck my entire wardrobe out with the feline print. Must have had a bad case of leopard print deficiency. Anyway...

 Shirt: H&M

Body: Ebay

Shorts: DIY

Belt: Primark

Necklace: Ebay 

*Cheeky bra strap!*

 *Why hello there chubby cheeks!*

Tada! I bought a leopard print body! Although, it does have really thin spaghetti straps so my bra straps are on show to the world when I take my shirt off, which I didn't anticipate would happen. But my gosh was it nice and warm today! The sun was actually out for once, made me feel like a right banana for taking my coat.


I also did something different with my hair, snazzy I know, I partly french plaited it down the one side to give the illusion that one side is shaved. Reminds me that I really need a hair cut.


And yes I am wearing these shorts again.

Bit of Gaga to entertain your ears!

Meow!

Hello! Here's an outfit I wore during the week, I just wanted something easy and comfortable to wear so as usual my bum grazing shorts came out, haha! I swear I practically live in denim shorts, though I am trying to break my denim wearing habits. This waistcoat was actually salvaged from a bag of my dad's old clothes and is great as light coverup in the summer. Oh summer, how I long for you!

 Top: Friends

Shorts: DIY

Waistcoat: Dad's

Hat: Topshop

Belt: Primark

 

I love this top which again I salvaged from a friend when she was having a wardrobe clear out. I'm probably portraying myself as a raging clothes thief, aren't I? I swear I don't go round stealing clothes in the night, promise! I do buy my own clothes, on occasion.

Also, thanks to anyone who comments on my posts, I love reading them and checking out your blogs! So on that note, I leave you with this: 

(It was Ross's choice)

I Ventured Outside!

Hello! Hope you all had a smashing weekend! I stayed over at my boyfriends and he decided a short walk would be a great idea before I headed home. Well a ten minute walk turned into a four hour one! We ended up lost in the woods though admittedly it was so worth it. The views were just gorgeous! I also managed to get some outside shots of my outfit, just to show you that yes, I do venture outside. Sometimes.

 *Face shot!*

This is probably my favourite jumper, I've had it since i was about 12 and its from Internationale (back when it was cool) and has washed and worn so great. Though I do have to admit the arms are a little on the short side, but nothing a stylish bit of sleeve rolling wont solve. I stole this hat off my boyfriend when it was really cold outside once and just, well never gave it back. These shorts are making yet another appearance, well what can I say? They are my fave after all. I do regret wearing tights on our little expedition as they kept getting snagged on all the branches and brambles. Believe me I looked more than a little worse for wear by the time we reach civilization once again! But like I said it was worth it and here are some photos to prove that: 

 *Ross being a silly!*

 It really was beautiful and we stumbled across a great camping area where we intend to return to in the summer. Oh and you would not believe but we were sat in this field and two deer emerged from within the trees and stood looking at us for about five minutes then cantered away. It was amazing, just wish my camera hadn't have run out of battery by then. Though I did managed to cobble a video together with my shitty amazing video editing skills. 

 *Sorry the camera quality is shite!*

Going Back To The Start

Hello! So despite some very disappointing A-level results on Thursday my chin is up and here is another look for you! After seeing an E (yes an E!) on my results sheet I am more determined than ever to get the A I need in English. So after this post out come the books and I'm going to crack on with coursework! 

 *Chubby Cheeks!*

Cardigan: Charity Shop

Cross Necklace: Ebay

 Yesterday I went up to my friends house and we got Chinese accompanied with a nice bottle of rose. We ended up watching a film called 'The Runaways' with Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart (who we made fun of all night) and it was pretty good. The film really made me want to dress like a rock star and wear face paint and HUGE platform heels! Bet that would give the old folks in my village a lil' bit of a scare, haha! Just listening to Coldplay at the moment and preparing myself for my coursework with lots of tea! But it's all good I'm going to Ross's tonight for beer and Naruto so on that note I'll leave you with this. Have a good weekend!
