DIY No. 1 Cross Top

Was flicking through this months Campany and saw this outfit and really liked the vest top this DJ was wearing that was from topshop, as it was probs not in stores anymore and i don't think i would have been able to afford it anyway, i decided i'd make my own!

What you need; a black t shirt, i got mine from primark for £1! fabric cutting sissors, piece of paper and some chalk


















T shirt















Fold the shirt in half


Then make a cross with the paper

Put the paper down the side of the shirt and draw around the edge with the chalk (sorry i don't have this pic!)

and start cutting! making sure not to cut the middle (just yet, as you wanna cut it the other way)









Make sure not to cut to thinly as it will stretch in the wash


(make sure to cut the middle part the other way, to give it a different effect)
This is what it looks like on, make sure to wash is after to get rid of the chalk! i will make sure to do an outfit  post :)















It was so easy to do, if anyone else tries it, tell me! :)

Shopping trip! No. 1

Little bit overdue, didn't realise its almost friday! but i went shopping last week while my mums friend was visiting and picked up a few things.

What i wore; shorts- topshop, shirt- primark (sorry if i'm wearing this a lot i really like it!) don't ask why im wearing the tights! looked out the window and it looked like it was gonna be typical suckish english weather so i decided to wear the tights and if it got hot just take off my cardie! but to my luck it was super hot! :( regret much.

Anyway apart from it being super hot, i bought most of the stuff i wanted and got the spike flats i put on my lusthaves list which you can look at here :)

What i bought; chunky purple cardie, black shirt, a maroon shirt (which isn't pictured) and the spiked flats- primark, grey crop- topshop via charity shop, Levis- a vintage shop


































Outside of primark there is a little vintage shop that id walked past a couple times but didn't really have the time to go have a snoop. So i decided why not? i have time to waste, i was pleasantly surprised though, as i found these lovely Levis and as im so in love with high waisted shorts atm i had to buy them! i was also super happy to find they had my size as id been trying to find a pair of shorts in primark but they never ever do my size (does this happen to you) as i'm quite small. they fit beautifully around my waist but they're a bit tight on the thighs but ahh well they look great, i couldn't resit :)

















Wanna see how i'm wearing these? look here :)

Dads Graduation

Its a bit late but I thought I add this as it was the first time I wore my new cross necklace! I'd been looking everywhere for a biggish turquoise cross for a while and found one in topshop! where I also bought a clear rosary, as it was in the sales! gotta love topshop sales

What I wore; shirt; topshop, bandeau; primark, shorts; topshop, cross necklace; topshop, sunglasses- camden market
I tried to dress as smart and appropriate as I could, but since it was hot and I don't own a lot of smart clothes I figured black is smart? so I stuck with my trusty shorts from topshop (even though I had to keep pulling them down at the back as they show half my bum when I walked! I still I think I made a right decision with what I wore)

Pics from the graduation;

i cant wait to go to uni now! anyone else excited for uni? :)
