Hello,Hello,Hello!

*Insert Ru Paul pun here* 

If I were to ask my friends to describe me, ‘innovative’ might be one of the words that comes to their mind (and possibly some other words that I cant repeat). I am a DIY queen. I absolutely adore being able to make something myself or to customise it so that it is completely unique, especially within fashion. Another thing is that I am a student. So that means I am broke. Like cup-o-noddles for dinner broke. This means if there is a certain trend I want to follow then I need to get crafty with it and try and make it work from items that are already in my wardrobe. Or if I have a few coppers to spare then I might nip down to my local British Heart foundation and look at some pieces in there that I might be able to alter to make it look more modern and trendy. 

I know my first world problems are hard. 

So when I saw the latest fashion week’s that was full of interesting patterns and fabrics I knew I had to combine it with some of my pre-existing items! I wanted to jazz up some fake Air Force One’s that I purchased while on holiday about three years ago, they are so painfully obviously  fake that I just cant wear them without facing pure ridicule from my fashionista friends, so it gave me the perfect opportunity to get my glue gun fired up. 



I painted a checkered print over the Nike sign which anyone and their mother can do. I done mine in fabric paints so it would last a little longer but honestly a sharpie will do the same job. I also hot glued some burberry tartan fabric that I managed to get from a charity shop to the front of the shoe to give them that early 2000’s vibe that I am obsessssedddd with at the moment. You can spice up your trainers with anything though! 





What I am trying to get at is that don't be afraid to make some items your own. Get a bit crafty with it! I have always found that my most complimented items are items that I have made myself! But also remember not to beat your self up to much if something you DIY hasn't turned out the way you thought it would, its a game of you win some you lose some, so don't get to stressed with it, have some fun! There is personally nothing I love more then sitting down with my hot glue gun and some old pieces of clothing that I can turn into something new!

Holy crap on a cracker. IT IS SO FRICKING HOT! I am currently in the shade like dracuala, hiding away from the sunlight. On a plus note I am attending London Pride tomorrow! Super excited to get jigggy all in the name of equality! I am going to take a load of photos and probably do a post about the whole experience on Tuesday, exciting stuff!

Sorry.

Désolé,Ich bedaure,ごめんなさい, etc.

A year.

A whole fricking year I have deserted this blog. A WHOLE  FRICKING YEAR.
There is no excuse for my abandonment. However I will say that I did have a lot going on so blogging was kinda pushed to the back of mind and before I knew it the summer turned into winter which grew into spring and sure enough summer was once again upon me. But now I am back from university for the summer and being back home means copious amounts of free time, so I have decided to dust off my blogger login and get back into blogging!

If you are a returning visiter to my little corner of the internet then WELCOME BACK!!! As you can see I have spruced the place up a bit, there is a new logo and a snazzy new layout! If you haven't been here before, please do NOT read any of my previous posts. They are fucking terrible. Honestly I read back a few the other day and Jesus Christ, what was I thinking?!?!
But anyways, enough thinking about that past. Let us look to the future!

I decided to regenerate my blog by showing you guys my outfit, this is a fashion blog after all. The weather in England has been temperamental (get it??? Like temperature! LOL I am hilarious) one week it is 30 degrees, and then the next day it was hurricane levels of rain and wind!!! But today was a classic British summer time day. 15 degrees with chance of rain. Lovely.



So in order to play it on the safe side I decided to wear an oversized white linen Ralph Lauren shirt teamed up with some red silky pyjama trousers! The shirt is my papa’s and there is something about wearing a white linen shirt that makes you feel like you should be in a 80’s music video. I can see it now… the camera pans up on me standing on the edge of a mountain…  the breeze blowing my hair out slightly while I sing out a heart felt ballad…. No? Just me?

I really need to stop with the puns

The trousers where an absolute STEAL, I managed to wrangle them from a charity shop for £1.50!! Can you even believe that. I mean, I don't really want to think about the fact that I am wearing someone else’s (probably an old man) sleep wear but I mean £1.50!! I couldn't not buy them!!!!
I added some accessories like a bandana and some hoop earrings to modernise the outfit a bit, I also wore some white superstars to again give the outfit a more urban vibe and to make it look like I didn't actually come out with my PJ’s on.

This outfit is great for running errands as it is super comfy, I mean I was wearing pyjama’s, of course it was comfy! I managed to see my friends, pick up a few bits from town and the best part is I didn’t get the whole leg’s-are-going-to-fall-off feeling that I normally get after I wear skinny jeans for just a tad to long.
Hooray for silky pantaloons!

I really hope this was an adequate post to return with, I am going to try update once every Monday (or Tuesday depending on how rough my weekend was) with a quality post that is well written and well thought out. When reading my older posts, I thought the best way to blog was every day. But everyday blogging produces shitty content so I am going to try and take my time, actually think about what I want to post and maybe even start to proof-read my writing now?!?!?

Maybe.
