LOLZ AT MY TRIANGLE TAN LINES >.<
Bustier: DIY
Skirt: New Look
Tights: Primark
I bought this dress from Miss Selfridge about three years ago & I have only worn it once. I remember buying it because I really wanted a denim dress & I liked the sweetheart neckline. I didn’t particularly like the pointy, flappy, spikey zip things in the skirt but I bought it anyway.
I saw it in my wardrobe the other day & I remembered how much I loved the sweetheart neckline & thought it would be a waste if I didn’t DIY it in some way or another. Anyway, I took my trusty scissors to it, a new zip & a bit of trim later it was transformed it into a lovely new bustier top!
I am really happy with how it has turned out & I am going to get so much more wear out of it now its a top rather than a dress.
What do you think? Did you like it better as a dress or do you prefer my DIY?

Jumpsuit originally AX Paris @ New Look
It’s been ages singe I last posted a DIY! I have missed it, I really want to get back into doing it more often again! I have such a long list of things I want to do but I just haven’t got round to doing them yet.
I bought the jumpsuit about a year ago & I have only worn it a few times. I mostly bought it because I liked the print, I wasn’t too keen on the idea of wearing a 3/4 jumpsuit, but never the less I still wore it. But you know me & my obsession with shorts! I couldn’t resist & I finally gave it the chop & made it into a playsuit. I feel like it is much more ‘me’ now. It was pretty easy to DIY to be honest, all I did was cut the shorts to the length I wanted them & hemmed them.
What do you think? Do you prefer playsuits over jumpsuits too?
Speak soon <3
(EDIT: for those of you that wanted to see the jumpsuit on before I DIY’d it.)

I wore this (bar the hat) yesterday. The hat is actually my sisters, she got it from Primark for £2 or something which is amazing!!! I would love to be able to wear it out the house properly but it is quite big & pretty light so I fear it would be blowing off my head constantly. Ahh well, it is a pretty fun prop & great for wearing, lounging around in the garden.
I have had the swallow top for YEARS! It’s going to sound lame but I first remember seeing it on one of the (less look at me I’m butt naked) suicide girls photos on MySpace, remember those days? ha, anyways I loved it & searched everywhere for it & eventually found it in Urban Outfitters. It was originally more of a tunic but I cut it into a vest top last week & I really really like it! I have a teeny tiny obsession with birds hence the print & my tattoo :’) I’m actually hoping to get some bigger birds tatted onto my back sometime soon but I need to draw them first & have so many more tattoos that I want that I will probably end up getting something completely different before that. Also my hair DESPERATELY needs re-doing, I totes need to stock up on some bleach! Ahh, life.
(Edit: So I did buy some bleach & refreshed my hair ^_^ take a look, it’s getting mixed reactions at the moment so take a look & let me know what you think, I will try & take some outfit photos this weekend so you can see my hair a little better. TBH I really like it, I know it is blonder than it used to be but like I said, I really like it so try not to be too harsh if you don’t.)

This is kind of a whole different post format to what I am used to & I know every blogger & their dog has blogged the Primark A/W 2011 collection, & I am pretty late doing it myself but I am trying & make my blog a bit more than just outfit photos so what better way than to swoon over a bit of Primark!
I don’t know about you guys but I am kind of over Summer. I said I was getting bored of it on twitter the other day & I’m sorry, but I really am so much more of an Autumn kind of person. Summer is so overrated, don’t get me wrong I love a bit of sunshine but you simply can’t beat tights, long dark nights, autumn leaves & knitwear! So I am thrilled that A/W stock is beginning to creep back into the shops!
There was actually so much more than this that I wanted to show you but download restrictions are a pain, so you will probably be seeing a sister post to this with my other picks soon, also, I seem to have picked a hell of alot of items that don’t have any info yet, sorry about that.
I am DYING to get my hands on that hat!!! It has to be my favourite piece of the whole A/W collection so far so I’m going to be pretty upset if I can’t get my hands on one once they hit the shops! I have also taken a huge fancy to the aztec leggings & pink brogues, maybe not to be worn together but hey you can’t beat a bit of aztec & who could live without a pair of bubblegum brogues?!
So what do you think? Do you have any favourite pieces, are you excited for A/W stock hitting the stores or am I just a Summer grump? Ha!
