D.I.Y Dip-Dye, Studded Denim Shirt

I've had a denim shirt that I've been wanting to D.I.Y for a while, it just got a bit old and tired and I was fed up of it.
I didn't want to go down the route of simply studding the shoulders, partly because I have a leather jacket like this and it rips my hair out, which is really quite unpleasant.
So I dipped it in bleach for a bit to dye the bottom, and then pinned gold studs in a line down the arms. The studs are a bit wonky and uneven but that I'll just have to accept as I didn't have the patience to make it perfect.
As soon as I get a chance to wear it I'll figure out an outfit post for it!

Child's Outfit?

I feel like this could be a five year old's outfit, or perhaps suitable for a Christmas occasion. But I had to find a way to wear this t-shirt, as I love it, but it's so short that it's actually really difficult to tuck into things. Luckily by pulling this skirt up and forcing it to stay there with a belt I won the fight.
Behind me in the first picture you can see one of the D.I.Y projects I've been working on, which I'll post pictures of soon!

Gypsy Shorts

I wore this outfit a week ago (which is why my hair is still purple) but have only just got around to posting it, what can I say, I'm lazy.
Although not too lazy as I've spent my whole day today bleaching, dyeing and studding my clothes so I should have some good D.I.Y pictures to put up soon.

Is it just me or is seeing a picture of your arms from behind a bit of a wake up call?
These pictures have officially sent me on a diet.



Top and shorts, both old Topshop. Necklace - Accessorize. Watch and boots  - River Island.

Kevin Murphy Colour Bugging



I'm wearing: Topshop jumper, New Look Necklace, River Island boots.

My Kevin Murphy Colour Bug arrived today :) I've wanted to try dip-dyeing my hair but I'm a coward and I didn't want the commitment, so Kevin Murphy products are perfect. When it arrived the pot was a lot smaller than I expected, but doing this hardly used up any so it should last for ages.
Colour bug is a compressed powder that you simply rub onto your hair, and then you can wash it out later. I went for purple as I think most people go for pink.
I love it and it's so easy to do! As it's a powder it's quite messy, so I'd definately recommend wearing gloves and covering yourself with a towel if you're going to try it.
This jumper is from Topshop, it's not the most flattering item I own, and it looks even less flattering in pictures sadly, but it's so pink and wonderful that I had to have it, especially since it's gone cold and rainy again.
If you want to try Kevin Murphy Colour Bug, it comes in purple, pink and orange, and you can find the website here.
Let me know if anyone else tries it!

Romwe

I've seen so many bloggers mention the online store Romwe (find it here) that I wanted to check it out for myself.
I'm in love, lust, and have a slight stomach ache at the thought of the ratio of how many things I want:how many I can actually afford. It's not pretty.
Firstly, they offer free shipping worldwide, which is so rare and AMAZING and counteracts one of the main problems I have with online buying, which is the added cost of getting products delivered.
The prices are also so reasonable. It makes me wish I hadn't gone on a pay day spree and spent all of my shopping budget (which sadly isn't very big, due to necessities like travel..and, well, food)
I've treated myself to this necklace to start with, and I'm waiting so keenly for it's arrival!
It looks a bit like a necklace I bought from New Look the other day (which will be in an outfit post soon) but hopefully it's different enough to make it worth it.
Here are some of the other things I'm lusting after!

If anyone feels like buying me everything then that would be great.
Check Romwe out, they're defiantely worth a browse.
