Hey guys! I thought I would start making a monthly 'love list' to show you fashion and beauty trends I am loving during the month. Studs have been a huge part of my wardrobe this month and I have become a bit crazy about them (as you may tell in some of my posts recently!) so they were a definite on this love list. The bralet would look gorgeous paired with some denim shorts and the jumper perfect to take through to Autumn/Winter. I have been on the search for the perfect cream blazer for what seems like forever now, but I found this one which is perfect, but completely out of my price range at £554 (on sale from £1,230!!).I am obsessed with denim at the moment, so the shirt and shorts were a must. The ombre effect on the shorts is gorgeous and I love pale/pastel blues and pinks together. Nars are so well known for their lovely blushers, but I am yet to try a cream one! Definitely going to have to pick one up. YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks and Chanel nail polishes I have been eyeing for a while, but find it had to justify the price. I think payday may persuade me to splurge on these! Pastel pink jeans have been on my wish list for ages now, i'm not quite sure why I have got round to picking any up tbh, but these ones from Topshop are gorrg. And finally the Jimmy Choo's 'siiigh', they really are the perfect summer wedge. A lovely classic nude patent style, with a summer twist with the cork. I also love the peep toe, and think these would suit a lot of outfits! These are a major want, buut at £275, not sure how quickly that will be happening!

What has been on your wish/love list over the past month or so? 

 

DIY Fashion: Going Stud Crazy

Hey everyone! In my last diy studs post, I mentioned I had ordered some gold studs to do some more wardrobe vamping, so I just wanted to make a quick post showing you what I came up with. If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you may have already seen this photo, but I thought I would post about it anyway as I am really happy with how I came out! I had seen the white cross studded vest top on inlovewithfashion for £20 and I thought this design would be super simple to recreate myself at a fraction of the cost. The black vest top I had picked up from Asos a while ago for around £5 (you could use any old vest top or t-shirt), and the studs cost me £1.99 from Ebay (and I still have a bunch left over), so already a big saving, not to mention the saving on time. As vest tops are generally pretty thin, the studs were really easy to push through and I finished this top within half an hour! I think this is a fab way of re-vamping plain old tops and turning it into something special. I am now thinking about cropping this top as I think it would look lovely with a pair of denim shorts, so I will let you know how I get on with that!

Have you been going stud crazy recently? Do you like to have a wardrobe re vamp? 

DIY Fashion: Studs!

Hey everyone! As we all know, studs have been a massive trend recently, and one that I adoree! I love how studs can make the most simple of outfits more edgy and also, is a super simple look to achieve. So simple in fact that I picked up some studs on Ebay to do a bit of wardrobe diy-ing and stud some items myself. I ordered a few different sizes from different sellers for not more than £2.99 for a small bag. The studs were shipped from China and did take a a couple of weeks to reach me, but I was willing to wait as they were so cheap and I was in no rush! I chose a few pieces from my collection which I felt could do with some sprucing up and became a little stud crazy!

The black heels I picked up from Primark a while ago but havn't really worn them with them being quite plain. I am unsure whether I want to take the silver studs all the way down the heel, or just scatter them around the back of the heel and mix in some smaller, gold studs!? What do you think?

The white clutch I actually got in a charity shop for around £1! When I saw it I knew it would be fab with studs, so I added some along the opening and also glued on a strip of lace for some extra detail // I love the look of studded collars, so I put some smaller ones of the collar of a denim jacket, I love how this works against the denim // I am experimenting taking some studs down the grey crop top from Topshop, I think it will add a little some extra for a night out! // On a side note, will searching Ebay for studs I also picked up this collar cuff which I love! It attaches like an earring so I can wear it on any top. I am definitely going to pick up some more of these, they looks great with a plain white shirt!

What do you think of the stud craze? Have you had a go at DIY studding? If you have, link your post below, I would love to see!
