60 minuiet makeover.

 

Iv had my eyes on this little number in a charity shop and really didnt expect to go back today and find it there. However I was so happy when I saw it hanging on the clothes rail, waiting for me.

 This size 18, £3.99 denim calf length dress had a 60 minuet make over and done me proud, Now a size 12 and a little more on trend.  Dont get me wrong I actually love this length of dress only this length does not give my short body any justice. 

..£3.99 well spent.

Sewing machine godess.

Iv had my eye on quite a few different skater skirts, Christmas is coming and i cant afford them all.. so I made some. Quite a few friends have mentioned they want me to make them, so I am going to look into buying some bulk material. Watch this space.

I am watching 48 things on eBay. Obsessed.

So Iv been a bit naughty and been watching lots of goodies on eBay the past week or so, One of them being this lovely tartan coat. Iv noticed tartan creeping back in fashion, I don't personally think i can pull off a lot of red tartan but definitely can pull off the blue/green. I have been watching this little number for about 4 days, waiting for the right moment.. And Shazammm. . £3.25 later, its all mine. Lovely.

I'm Fighting a war, I did not choose.

DIY Contrast Sleeve Army Jacket

So Iv had my eyes on one of them Military Jackets with the leather sleeves lately. As usual I waste my money on crap and haven't managed to purchase one. They are quite expensive considering I got my army jacket at the carboot for 50p and that's all it is really with leather arms, Anyway. . I realized that I have a military gullet and a little leather jacket I picked up the the charity shop for a couple of quid. I got out my beast of a sewing machine and stiched the leather arms to the gullet.. and wolla... Saved myself £65.

Spikes

My collection of body armor is starting to get a little silly now. I'm like a magpie. Spikes have become a obsession. Spikes & studs. I like the punky edgy look at the moment. I never really used to like silver, or metel gun silver but lately have found myself buying alot of it. 

At the moment in Newlook its buy one get one free, so of course this weekend I took advantage of that.
