D.I.Y | MY NEW SHORTS PART 2

Last week I showed you guys how I made my green adidas tracksuit bottoms into high waisted shorts which you can see here. I've got another pair of adidas tracksuit bottoms which I wanted to make into shorts. Unfortunately they didn't turn out as nice as the green ones. Perhaps because these ones are much tighter and a different material. Nevertheless I may not wear them out but I would definetly wear them to the gym or chilling around the house.

WISHLIST | QUIZ CLOTHING

QUIZ CLOTHING WISHLIST

Before last week I had never heard of Quiz Clothing but I'm so happy it was bought to my attention. They have really nice affordable pieces and beautiful kimonos. Recently I've really been into pink and floral prints but I must say my favorite item on this wishlist has to be the black and white dress it says 'Blossom' all over it!!

LET'S TALK FASHION | IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO WEAR WHITE AS A WEDDING GUEST

I feel like I already have my wedding planned, the ceremony will be held outside on a sunny afternoon in July. The guests will sit on white chairs facing a floral arch with blossom flowers going along the aisle. My bridesmaids will be in lilac, silk, floor length dresses with their hair in cute up-do's. I 'll walk down the aisle to Kissing You by Desiree, my hair will be in a sleek pony tail with simple make up wearing a beautiful white strapless mermaid dress, a sweetheart neckline with a long trail. I want dove's too but is that a bit too much?!





 Unfortunately I'm only 19 (I also need to find someone that will actually marry me) and I'm pretty sure it'll be quite a while before I walk down the aisle but in the meantime I love looking at sites like Lover.ly for inspiration on dresses and weddings. I love going to weddings and dressing up for them but should it be a ''rule'' that only the bride can wear white? If you were invited to a wedding and found a beautiful white dress would you wear it?

When I think of weddings I think of pastel colours and the colour white so when putting together an outfit for a wedding I feel like I need to incorporate white somehow; whether its a pair of white heels, a white bag or a white dress. Personally if I found a white, lace midi dress with spaghetti straps I would wear it, I would also probably wear it with a pair of white heels and a pastel clutch bag, I really don't think it would take any attention away from the bride. Don't you think a guest wearing a neon pink dress would really take attention away from the bride?! 

However, if the shoe was on the other foot and I was the bride and a guest turned up to my wedding in a white dress... yes there might be a problem! I wouldn't throw a tantrum or say anything but a wedding day is meant to be one of the best days of a girls life, and if we're honest weddings are mostly about the bride (sorry grooms). So when it comes to being a guest at a wedding I would say just stick with white accessories. You could perhaps wear white heels, a white bag with a blue skater dress and leave the white dress to the beautiful bride. 

What do you think about wedding guests wearing white to a wedding? Let me know what you think.

Definitely check out Lover.ly's website they have amazing dresses and some really beautiful pictures, great for inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed it

D.I.Y | MY NEW HIGH WAISTED SHORTS

This Friday I'm going to a beach party with a couple of friends and I need an outfit!
I had a vision of me wearing baggy shorts and a bikini top, I was even considering actually ordering a pair. 

But what do I do? I take a pair of tracksuit bottoms and make them into shorts. I've had these tracksuit bottoms and their matching jacket since I was about 12. About 3 years I accidentally got red paint on them and I haven't worn them since. It's a mens tracksuit and extremely big on me so they come up high waisted. I didn't do anything technical or hard, I only used a pair of scissors and an iron to make sure the bottom stays folded.

I really love them and I know I'll definitely be wearing them a lot over summer, some of these pictures were taken on my iPhone so sorry about the quality.

Before throwing your trousers or tracksuit bottoms out why not try make them into shorts.

FASHION | MY SHOE COLLECTION (VIDEO)

Hey my loves, I hope you've had a great weekend! Unfortunately I cant say I have, I've not been very well :( although I did find out that I have a job interview at the end of this week!! (jumps up and down on her bed) I'm excited but also really scared I've had auditions before but never a proper job interview so wish me luck.
