What to Wear, Where


Summer is on its way! Although its still pretty chilly in England if you're jetting off somewhere a little warmer you're probably thinking about your holiday wardrobe. I'm lucky enough to be heading off to Ibiza with my friends and have been looking around the web for style inspiration and got some great ideas. I've put together a guide to what to where in some popular holiday destinations. Hope you find this helpful!

Trend:Monochrome and Neon Yellow


Monochrome is a big trend for ss13. These graphic, futuristic prints are clean and fresh for summer and the neon yellow adds a bold, contrasting pop of colour. Team a patterned, tapered trouser with a simple black vest. Or pair a printed tee with a black skinny jean or pencil skirt. Add neon accents with simple, sleek accessories.

DIY- detachable peter pan collar


1.ASOS 2.Topshop 3.Kate Spade 4.Moschino


Click image above for downloadable collar pattern.

Supplies:
Fabric- You don't need much at all so its great for using up scraps.
Iron on interfacing
Thread and a needle
Ribbon- About 60cm should be enough
Sewing Machine 
Pins
Iron
Fabric flowers, beads, sequins or whatever else you want to embellish your collar with.
Instructions:
1. Cut out collar pattern, adding 1cm seam allowance. Pin the pattern on to the fabric and cut around it. Do this four times.

2. Cut off seam allowance from pattern, pin to interfacing and cut around four times.


3. Iron on piece of interfacing on to the wrong side of each bit of fabric. The bobbly side of the interfacing should face down on the fabric.


4. Sew on any embellishments to the front two pieces of the collar.

5. Pin the front and back of each side of the collar together with the wrong sides facing each other. Sew around the outside of the interfacing leaving a gap at the end where the ribbon will go. Cut a zig zag or little triangles on the fabric around the stitching.



6. Turn inside out using a paintbrush or something similar. 

7. Cut ribbon in two. Fold over the open edges and put the ribbon in. Iron in place. Carefully sew the end shut with the ribbon inside. Repeat this for the other side of the collar.

8. Sew the two sides of the collar together in the middle with a few discreet stitches. I put another fabric flower over the stitches but you could put a bead, jewel brooch or whatever there.

Et voilà!

Peach&Mint

Pretty pastels are everywhere at the moment and are my perfect spring/summer shades. My favourites are peach and mint. Here's a couple of outfit ideas...

Yesterday I bought a mint bodycon skirt and floaty peach and white layered cami from Forever21. Now we just need the weather for it, maybe I should have just bought a peach and mint umbrella!

feather earrings diy


I used:
Black feathers, Beads, Earring loops, Connectors, Jewellery making pliers, Thin wire, Chain



Thread one bead on to the wire and wrap the wire around the bead and secure at the top of the bead. Then add the chain, loop both ends of the chain over the top wire. Then add the second bead and wrap the rest of the wire around the top of the feather.



Close the connector over the part of the feather with the wire wrapped around it and connect the earring loop to the connector. And thats it!
