DIY: Plushie Heart Earrings

Expect more DIY's from now on - I really enjoyed making these earrings and tutorial for you! I got the inspiration from Bubbles Tokyo and I had all my leftover heart cutouts from my backpacks too. I don't like to waste after all!

With these bad boys, you can have endless cuddles when you're out an about or opt for a quick snooze on the bus, they are so super cushy and soft!!

I hope you guys try it, it was super easy and probably took me 20 mins if I wasn't filming the whole process. Please let me know how you go and what you would like to see more in the future!

DIY: Crop Halters from Old T Shirts

Have a bunch of cool old T shirts you only ever wear to bed these days? Being a reformed T shirt collector I had a stash with super cool graphics but they were a horrible fit and some had just seen better days. With the weather heating up, on this side of the world, I initiated a salvage operation...

Here's what I came up with, an easy way to revamp those forgotten tees for summer in just 6 easy steps. Watch my video below and be sure to let me know how you go :). I'm sure there are plenty of awesome childhood tees that haven't seen the light and I'd love to see them!



More after the break!

DIY: Fleecy Set

Okay I'm addicted to iMovie! So here's another short DIY tutorial viddy for a cropped sweater and skirt ensemble. I was walking through Spotlight the other day and came across this awesome unicorn fleece material, obviously too dangerous to be children's sleepwear :O...sorry kids.

It's heating up in Aus but for those of you who are on the flip side, perfect timing to get some warm comfy stuff together. For fellow soon-to-be beach bunnies, you can even choose a lighter type of material for this project (you can do whatever you like)! Quite the versatile trans - seasonal pattern I feel ;p. Enjoy!







luv aj necklace, tokyo bopper shoes, topshop socks, bag DIY here

Just as a note I got about:

  • 1.5m of material
  • 0.5m of ribbing
  • 1m elastic

This was just enough and allowed room for mistakes and redos! *But it all depends on the width of the material you choose as well. I also decided to keep the warning message, DO NOT USE FOR CHILDREN'S SLEEPWEAR, I reckon it makes it. I will also be careful around flames and thangs, okay, yes. I'll never get over ponies...



Anyway, I hope you have a crack at it, I'd love to see how it turns out for you! :)

DIY: Furry Heart Bag

Woo! Amongst the many hours I spent on Borderlands, GTA and most recently training to be the most basic Mortal Kombat fighter (I suck so bad) I made another drawstring bag. It's fluffy this time and has a plastic heart in the middle so everyone can see your things. I've also done a video on how I made it - hope it's okay for my first one :D.

I've also been thinking about new things to make so if you've seen something cool and have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment!





Top and skirt from Tokyo (Shibuya 109), shoes by Tokyo Bopper, Joyrich socks.

That's it from me...happy crafting!


I make them too if you can't be bothered! :p pht.storenvy.com

DIY: Riri Zip Skirt

I have always drooled over Rihanna for River Island's first collection, so this DIY is to never getting around to buying any, (it was ALWAYS sold out when I was in Japan or shipping rates were through the roof). There's something so alluring about that staple, effortless simplicity, not to mention how darn sexy all of it was. This probably took me less than a few hours to whip up and costed about $20, just because zips are exy these days.
