DIY Summer Crop Tops

Hello everyone,
I'm so sorry I haven't been on in ages, we have had a school production and there has been no time for anything else, honestly we didn't have lessons or anything; bit silly to be honest. I promise you I am going to blog a lot more, at least twice a week. So please accept my apology :)
Anyways, today's post is diy no sew crop top - perfect for summer and festival season.
All you need for this fashion project is a pair of scissors and any outdated top that needs a makeover.
This is actually a old pyjama top, but doesn't fit around the sleeves and is generally uncomfortable.
The first thing a did was cut off the sleeves to create a muscle tank tee kind of thing, you can just keep a top like this if you have a really pretty printed long sleeved top that you know won't fit next.  autmn/winter.

The next step is to turn the top inside out and draw a line where you want your top to be cropped. My line was straight, drawn with a ruler, but you can make your's wavy depending on the kind of look you're going for.

After cutting along the line with fabric scissors you end up with something like this, this top can go with so many outfits and I'm super excited to wear it.
I just wanted to show you this top I cropped. I absolutely love it, bang on trend with the festival season in full flow, it is pure perfection. I made this by taking a normal tee, decided how cropped I wanted it to be and started cutting vertically upwards in small strips all the way around the t-shirt until I was done! A tip for this is to pull on the stringy parts to kind of roll them over so you can't see any messy cutting.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you again soon,

Small haul + tiny update

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't posted for a while I have big exams very soon so I have been revising, and to make matters worse, I now have a cold.
Anyway, the other day I went on another shopping trip and thought I would post a haul.
The first thing I bought was the MUA bb cream in light. I love this product because it gives coverage without making you look caked in makeup.
 
The next item I bought was this Peter Pan T-shirt from Primark. I have wanted this for a long time, but haven't been able to find it. It is purple with 'Take me to Neverland' and Peter and Mary flying above the rooftops. This was £6.
 
I then picked up some coral frilly socks with a black frill for £1.50, also from primark.
 

After looking at these shoes constantly online, I finally picked them up! They are floral flatworms from New Look and the colours and pattern is perfect for Spring and Summer. These were £14.99.
I hope you enjoyed this short but sweet post, and stay tuned for plenty more to come. I apologise again for the lack of posts but I promise there will be more up daily.

Small Haul: Clothing & Accesories

Today, as some of you know, I went shopping with my friend, Niamh. I promised a haul...so here it is!
The first shop we went into was Primark.
This denim skater skirt was £8.00 and is made of sturdy, denim like material.
 Next I picked up these beige socks with a black frill for £1.50.
I picked up another pair of socks, this time photo print socks with barbie dolls on them I thought that they would look great with my clear jujus.These were £2.50.
I purchased a pinky cream beanie, that was reduced from £2.00 to £1.00. Although these are last season's fashion, I picked one up for those messy hair days.
Finally from Primark, I bought the P.S Love nude lipgloss pen for £1.50.
Next, we went to New Look, where I only bought one thing.
 I bought this colourful printed crop top, for £7.99.
We then looked around Claire's.
This
 pack of scrunchies came with a pink lace
 scrunchie and a white one, £3.00

This pack of scrunchies, also £3.00, contains a cream scrunchie decorated with blue flowers and a light blue scrunchie.

As Claire's were having a three for two sale, I decided to grab these scrunchies, one red and one grey. These are £2.00.
We then went to a store in our shopping centre and I bought this gorgeous hair garland.
The shop is called Bowtique and sells glittery bows, bath bombs and other hair accessories, this hair garland was only £2.00.

 Finally, we popped into River Island.
 I haven't yet told you, but I am in love with the girl's frilly socks from RI, they are affordable and fit me, even though I am size five in shoes. River Island do 3 for £5.00 on their girl's socks. The first pair I picked up are these all black frillies.
  The second pair I picked up are these adorable all lilac ones.

 The final pair are these bright pink frillies.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post and have a look at some of my others.

Favourite spring hair accessories

For today's post, I decided to show you my favourite hair accesories for springtime. I keep all myhair accessories   in an old biscuit tin.
My first favourite springtime hair accesories is this metallic bow from Forever 21. It is a steady material and features a crocodile clip. They no longer sell these, but F21 do sell these, which are a lot like mine.
The next accessory is a daisy bun wrap from Primark for £1.50. It is very good quality and can be worn in lots of different ways.
 Next up is a gorgeous flower crown from Claires, for £7.00.

 Finally is are these scrunchies, that came in a three pack also from f21. I'm not sure that these are still sold, but if they are still being sold, I defiantly recommend them.
I'm hoping to post a lot more, I'm having trouble with uploading photographs, but I'll sort it out and there will soon be daily posts!
Thanks for reading,
