Top & Skirt- Carboot, Sunglasses & Necklace- H&M, Shoes- JuJu @ Topshop

This skirt is one of my mums another carboot finds that she actually got for free when buying something else! 

Haven't really got anything exciting to report, except for the fact that it's mine and my boyfriends anniversary on sunday- 6 years! And Perry is 'surprising' me with a pair of jeffrey campbells but I ended up finding out by accident and oh my god wait til you see them- they are right beauts! Although I'm not actually allowed to open them until sunday :(

Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather today

I don't even know what to call it/kimonoey thing?!- Charity Shop, Shorts & Necklace- H&M

Despite the weather being relatively sunny today I look very autumnal! I picked up this kimonoey thing from my favourite charity shop and fell in love with all the different prints and it has slits on each side so it flows really nicely. The boots above are my pair of Topshop Allegras which I was starting to get bored of so I did a little DIY and cut out some of the elastic to create a cut out look. The elastic started to fray so I used a bit of clear nail varnish but not sure how long that's gonna last. I also started to stud the elastic bits but one went wrong and I made the hole to big so I stopped before it got any worse!

I completely forgot to mention on recent posts that Bell's Fashion turned 1 the other day! awww happy birthday bloggymcbloggerson <3. I originally started this blog as part of a uni summer project leading up to my first year at Northbrook College but ended up really enjoying it and carried it on! So I would just like to say thank you to all my lovely followers for your continuous support :D muchos love xx

*just realised I look asleep woopsy- 1 year on and still as awkard as ever being photographed!

More DIYs

Once again I have been DIYing to my hearts content to fund my near future Brighton life! After seeing a lot of turtle/polo neck crop tops gain popularity in the blog world I thought it would be a good idea to customise some. The first one I done I actually tie dyed but I wasn't too pleased with the outcome so I dip dyed a few instead and prefer these results! I know how we all love a good stud or two so thought the studded neck would give them an edge. I've tried to make them as cheaply as possible to keep the selling price down and I am going to be selling these for £15. I have only really been selling my stuff to girls in my area but am thinking about putting some on ebay so if any of you guys are interested you can buy on there? I may also put some of my flower headbands on there which I sell for £5. I would love to hear what you think of these creations and also I have only used gold studs so far but am curious to know if people would also like silver?

Headband & Dungarees- DIY, Crop Top-Vintage, Shoes- Dr.Martens

I feel this outfit is quite unoriginal and worried I've seen it on another blog and subconsciously copied it off someone? I hope not anyway (sorry if i have lol) Probably just because dungarees are everywhere! I'm thinking about bleaching these dungs then tie dying them. I don't think I've actually posted an outfit of me wearing one of my headband creations yet but here is one that I kept for myself. I've been making headbands as part of my way to make more money for moving out and really love creating them! My original dream career was to start my own business, selling vintage clothes at reasonable prices but now I would like to add customised clothes and accessories to that dream as it's something I've grown to love doing <3

Dress- Vintage, Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

Sorry I've been so absent lately, it's partly due to lots of stressful situations and partly due to the fact I'm absolutely skint and haven't bought anything new for agesss! This is probably the skintest I have been ever in my life as I have been saving most of my money for my first months rent and deposit when I move to Brighton in September. I have literally been trying to sell my life on ebay and make lots of flower headbands, levi shorts and other bits and bobs to keep me going. Anyway my boyfriend took me out for dinner last night and this is what I wore. I made the dangly bindi/headpiece from an earring, some chain and a hair extension clip! 

Hope you are all well :)

I'm looking for new blogs & tumblrs to look at so if anyone knows of any good'ns link me up

Everything- Charity Shop/Carboot, Shoes- Ebay, Sunglasses- Brighton laines, Ring bracelet- harts + crosses

So it's been quite a long time since I last did an outfit post but am gonna put it down to the unmotivating weather! However today was probably the best day of July yet which injected a bit of enthusiasm back into me. I have literally been searching high and low for a pair of flatform ankle boots after ordering the Office 'norties'  boots which never turned up because they were out of stock and didn't tell me. Nasty gal have the  perfect pair (as always) but as I am saving up for moving to Brighton in 8 weeks there was no way I could afford them. I found these little beauts on ebay for £29.99! The only thing that put me off is that they are 'suedette' material which is a nightmare if you live in a house with 5 cats as you end up with very furry feet which you can kind of see in the photo lol. But they are definitely worth the 5 minutes a day I spend 'de-fluffing' them before I leave the house! 

After seeing the beautiful Sara Louise rock a few dream catcher necklaces I fell in love and found an old dream catcher and added a chain to it and layered it up with my cameo and cross necklaces. To team up with the eye cross necklace from Topshop I wore this cute little hand bracelet from harts + crosses which is an amazing jewellery online shop with very affordable prices!

In other news, I finally started up a tumblr which has become a concoction of my photography & styling, other random photos i've taken and then random photos that I like on other peoples tumblrs so bit of a mish mash. You can check it out here :)

p.s you can probably tell that I have just learnt how to put links into text and got a bit chuffed and carried away haha!

D.I.Y

I've been a little quiet on the blog front the past week as I have been busy making little bits for Southsea Flea Market which is tomorrow! These are images from all my recent diys for the flea market (although I liked the jacket so much I've decided to keep it).  

The denim jacket was an oversized men's jacket and looked a bit plain so I literally just filled up a spray bottle with mainly bleach and a bit of warm water and sprayed over it which created this cloudy kind of effect and then I studded the shoulders. 

I also bleached and frayed more levi shorts and dip dyed one pair pink. I created a few more head pieces and lots and lots of flower crowns! For the flower crowns I just used fake flowers, a hot glue gun and elastic and glued the flowers on, I'm just praying to god they don't fall off!

I tie dyed a few bits of random clothing and also made 5 pairs of cute tie dye socks.

If anyone wants more in depth details on how to make any of this just let me know :)
