DIY Oh So Pretty Socks

What you need:

Pretty trimmings

Plain socks

Scissors

Glue Gun

1. Wrap your trimming around the top of your sock and cut the length you need.

2. Glue the trimming and along the rim of the sock

3. Press the trimming around the sock, wait to dry and enjoy! 

Hello! This is probably the easiest thing I have ever customised and I am so happy with how these socks turned out. I love making plain things look pretty and interesting and with so many pretty socks in the shops, I thought I would have a go myself. I think by simply gluing a piece of lace or pompoms to some socks will mean your feet will always look lovely. I don't know about you, but I love now having a draw of colourful, fun socks. I am really enjoying my glue gun, I got it for about £5 on ebay and it came with 46 glue sticks! I can't believe I didn't have one before and I am now trying to use it on a daily basis.

What do you lovelies think of pretty socks and what shoes would you style them with?

OOTD: Picnics In The Park And A Vanity Case

Vanity Case~Charity Shop

Hello lovelies! What lovely weather we have been having here in London town. I have been trying to get out as much as possible and enjoying picnics in the park and copious amounts of smoothies. Today I wore my second dress from Generations Collective, I absolutely love everything in this etsy store and wish I could buy every single item. The fabric is so comfortable and great for the warmer days. I styled it with my boater hat, a cheap and cheerful piece of headwear, that I have been wearing a lot recently. I picked up this 1950's vanity case in a charity shop and have been taking it on all of my travels recently.
All this sun is making me really want a little holiday, after all the stress from finishing my degree it would be lovely to have a few days somewhere new.

Hope everyone else is enjoying this weather, how have you been spending your June so far?

DIY Flower Crown

You will need:

Stemmed Flowers - As many as you wish

A plain headband

Artificial leaves

Smaller flowers 

1. Start by aligning where you would like your larger flowers to go and wrap the stem around the headband. Add as many as you wish until it looks something like the picture below.

 2. Next you want to add the smaller flowers in and around the gaps, using the same technique. Spread them as widely as you want or compress several into the same place. I think it looks nice either way.

3. Lastly wrap the leaves around any gaps left, or if you want to cover up any of the bits you are not completely happy with. This also makes it look lovely and realistic.

And that is about it! I love how easy these are to make and also how sweet they make an outfit look. I got pretty much all of my bits to make the crown on ebay, they have a huge array of artificial flowers of all sizes and colours.

What do you guys think and what colours would you choose?

Oh also it is the last day to enter my giveaway, the winner will be decided tomorrow evening at complete random. So if you haven't already entered you can do so here. 

Blue dress and a basket of flowers

Dress~Vintage Style Me/ Bird necklace~Dorothy Perkins/ Socks~Primark/ Shoes~Topshop  

Hey lovelies! I am visiting my parents in Devon for the week and it is actually sunny. I couldn't believe my eyes when I hopped off the train and I was surrounded by warm air, for the first time in sooo long.

I finally got to wear my new dress from Vintage Style Me, I love everything they have and I often try to purchase an item on my pay days. I really love the collar/bib detail and the colour is such a nice blue. It is also the perfect length for summer days and I love how floaty and comfortable it is.
The flowers are handpicked from the garden, that's something I really miss about living in London, not having a place to grow pretty petals. I went a bit mad and we began running out of baskets and vases to put all of the flowers in.

I also had a really amazing lunch, which included salad, cashew and banana bread and a cheeky midday Mojito. I love eating outside in the summer. The week has been a really lovely break from the city so far, but I do miss London already.

I am still holding a giveaway which you can enter here as there is a basket of goodies to be won!

OOTD:Polka Dot Sailor

Hat~ebay/Two piece~ebay/Tights~Primark/Shoes~Office

Hello lovely readers!

Oh why all of this rain? I just want a few days of warmth, so my clothes can dry and little freckles pop up on people's cheeks. I took these snaps above on one of the sunnier days this month and was unsure for ages on how to style the little nautical outfit. I purchased it on ebay, I just happened to stumble across it and fell in love. I was so scared it wasn't going to fit and I would look like an adult child and a bit ridiculous, but I decided to go for it anyway. For this reason I was a bit apprehensive about posting the outfit, but having turned twenty two a few days ago, I felt it best to just go all out on my outfits whilst I am still young. I've decided to just embrace being this age and being able to wear what I really like and hopefully not be judged.

I love the little details on the top and anything with polka dots makes me smile. The shoes I got from Office, in the sale, they are suede and really comfy and I am finding myself pairing them with a lot of my clothes.

Hoping everybody is well and I have a couple of beauty related type posts coming up, just to mix it up a little bit.
