80's style dungaree's...

Hello beauty's..

Today I've got a post on my favourite clothing piece that i own right now which are these light wash denim dungaree's.

please ignore my facial expression, my mum took the photo before i was ready!!!

Dungaree's tend to go in and out of fashion every few years and 2013 being a year that they are totally in for the spring and summer. I have been trying to get my mitts on a pair for yeaaars, i found short and skirt styles but i just couldn't settle for them and i definitely couldn't justify the £40+ price tag. I even started looking in charity shops but just my luck, i had no luck.

Until a few weeks back i was in Primark in my local shopping centre and was looking near the jeans and printed shorts section. Whilst rummaging i found myself pick up 2 pairs of dungarees, one dark wash shorts pair and one pale full length pair in a size 12, too big bit teamed with a thin belt they work really well.

I have only worn there out once and that was the day after i got them, i didn't get to put much thought into what to wear them with but i don't think it looked tooooo bad, pretty plain Jane and simple if you ask me.

Dungaree's - Primark

Black Sleeveless Turtle neck top - Warehouse (£1.50 charity shop find)

Thin Brown belt - Primark

Black Creepers - Primark

They were £17, although still a little pricey, they are totally worth it. They have a distressed rip effect to give a vintage 80's vibe but they look and feel like really great quality. The hard wear on the braces and the buttons up the side seem like they have had a lot of effort put into them and i LOVE them. Definitely a staple piece in my wardrobe throughout the next few months (i even think they will look super cute in the winter months too.)

looks like hippy central in my garden!

Will you be sporting the dungaree trend this year? If so, what will you team them with?!

Easter bunny nail art! | demiDOODLES

Hiiii guyssss    :)

I thought I'd do a little 'how to' nail art post today as Ive finally found some time to sit down, relax and do some pretty nail art for myself!

I love love love painting my nails and trying out new designs and patterns, and seeing as though Easter is literally just around the corner, what better than to paint some pretty little bunnies for my finger tips. Okay, so i wouldn't call this a tutorial as i haven't taken pictures of every little detail of the design but hopefully you'll get the gist of things!

 

(Click on the pictures to make them bigger!)

Step 1. Paint your nails with a pretty pastel colour, for this design i chose Essie- Neo Whimsical, 2 coats and leave to dry (I chose to do bunnies on each nails except the ring finger which i put glitter on.)

Step 2. Taking a white nail polish, create a half circle shape on the top of your nail (leave enough room for your bunny ears!!)

Step 3. Using a smaller brush or by flattening the white nail polish brush, make 2 smaller lines towards your cuticles to form the ears. Leave to dry before adding the next details.

Step 4. Once the nail is dry, use a pink colour to make a small like inside the ears and two small dots for the cheeks (i used the polish i used for the background- Essie: Neo Whimsical)

Step 5. Using a black polish and a dotting tool (or a toothpick), make two little dots closer together and above the cheeks, these give the bunny some eyes!

Step 6. Next, make a very small upside down 'T' to form the nose and mouth using the black varnish. Then, using the black again, make 2 or 3 lines on each side of your rabbits cheeks for cute little whiskers (you can create these lines using a toothpick and a dotting technique, making the dots overlap to make a smooth looking line).

Step 7. Finish with a coat of your favourite top coat and leave to dry.

And there you have your cute little bunny rabbits on your finger nails!

 

Will you be trying this out, or maybe your own design with an Easter theme?

Work first blog second

Hi guys!
Just want to apologise for not posting lately, i've had sooo much work to do and then my internet got cut off! But we got a new package so i should be back to posting on a regular basis. Since i''ve been out of the blogger world i've had so many post ideas and now its to late because they dont fit in with the time etc if that makes any sense at all.

Like i said, i have had so much work to do from school and i am so glad tomorrow is the last day before half term! I have had quite an eventful week or so (to the norm of boring nothing in my day to day life), I started my christmas shopping last week but ended up getting myself a few bits, i also went to the theatre to see 'We will rock you' last night in London and it was aaamazing! I actually can't explain how great it was, it makes me feel good just thinking about it and it left everybody buzzing, would definitely recommend!

Also, my friend is doing a hair & beauty course at A Level and as her assessment/exam/thing she has to style someone to walk down a catwalk in school and guess who's her model.. ME! haha, im not exactly the modelling type (although when i had my tarot cards read, the woman got a feeling that i would go into the modelling industry... fat chance!) but anyway, the theme was seasons and we got 'Spring'. She has to do my hair, makeup, nails, design my outfit and chose music and i was just wondering if any of you have any ideas of costumes or anything then please let me know as it would be a BIG help.

Anyways, that's my chit chat over and an update of what i've been up to. Have any of you been up to anything exiting?

p.s; its almost halloween, whats everyone dressing up as?! AND ONLY 2 MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!
