Forever Fringed
Every so often, I come across a trend that I just cant let go of, even when it is considered "over" I will still be wearing it. Fringing is going to be one of these trends.
Fringerd jackets, bags, necklaces, shoes, shorts, leggings....ITS ALL OUT THERE....there is no point in me linking this post to one specific site, just try all the usuals, topshop, Urban outfitters, ASOS.com.
The best thing about it, is the DIY aspect. I am always broke, to the point where sometimes I cannot buy any clothes and have to recycle. This is where fringing is perfect. I probably have over 100 old t shirts lying about, and if like me your a T shirt girl its sooooo easy to fringe it yourself. Heres how I do it....
1. Firstly, put the T-shirt on and make a small mark in pencil or pen if you dont care at the lenght u want the T-shirt stop and fringe to begin. Do this so that you dont end up with the tee too cropped and the fringe showing bits of your stomach your not willing to show.
2. Lay the T shirt out as flat as possible on a hard surface like a wooden floor. (carpet will not keep the t shirt flat and just gets in the way as the fabric clings to it).
3. Find the mark you made and with a ruler continue it along both sides of the Tee to make sure all your fringing is the same lenght.
4. With any kind of household scissors start at the side of the tee and cut up to the line you have made. I HIGHLY recommend making each cut approx half an inch from each other. This is because when you wash the t shirt the little pieces of cut fringing will curl in on each other and become very thin and stringy.
5. Continue this until both sides of the Tee are done, dont be too fussy about cutting in straight lines etc as it wont matter once it is washed and they curl in, the only thing you need to worry about is sticking to the line you have drawn.
Heres my first attempt I did a few weeks ago in my friend Joys bedroom because i had no top to wear out. Try cutting the sleeves off to make it feel less like a T-Shirt.
Also, heres my new fave necklace...from H &M for £6.99

YAYER.CO.UK
Amazing new find!!!! Finally an online site that is gorgeous AND cheap, not to mention styled to perfection. I love absolutely EVERY single look. Yayer.co.uk is simple to use, the clothes are divided into New, modern or vintage, before being divided into dress, top, skirt etc, easy. The line is just a baby, born in 2009, which would explain the overflow of trendy.
Every look is styled to perfection and so on trend, including hair, make up and accessories. There are dresses from £35, and if you ask me, they have a step up on Topshop at the minute. Think of Topshop prices with Urban Outfitters designer. Perfect!
Im ordering my first piece tonight so I will update everyone on the quality.

Ive got nothing to wear, but ive got a new Nail Polish!
On a regular basis, I feel quite down when i have nothing new to wear out, I might have 100 outfits in my wardbrobe but some days i just HATE IT ALL (im not dramatic, honest). I also have insufficient funds on a regular basis, so whats a girl to do? Get a new nail colour. OBV.
I love nail polish, a new colour can revive a whole outfit for me. I have spent a lot of my life experiementing with nails, heres some trends im crazy about.

I got love for leggins
I work out in them, I watch movies in them, I go out in them, I dance in them, sometimes, I fall asleep in them. I have to ask myself, what would i do without leggings? From my first ever 1980'S minnie mouse neon pink pair to my topshop wet look pair, I never have, and never will, give up on the leggings trend.
Stirrup ones, wet look ones, leather ones, lycra ones, fringed ones, lace ones, patterned ones....shall I go on?? I LOVE LEGGINGS. I cant understand when girls say they would only wear leggings around the house, with the selection on the high street these days, theres no excuse for squeezing into skinny jeans for a night out during a fat day. NO EXCUSE. Get a pair of leggings and look dressed up while feeling comfortable.
Im not saying everyone should live in them like myself, but i just wish everyone would appreciate them as much as i do.
Leggings DO's and DONT's!!

Leggings DO's and DONT's!!
- DONT wear ordinary cotton leggings on a night out, these are called house leggings, learn the difference.
- DO make sure your leggings are thick enough and big enough that your bum has not stretched them into transparent form, no one wants to see your bare ass in the middle of tescos.
- DO realise its ok to wear leggings out, just make sure they have something different, for example, wet look, pattern, any kind of detail.
- DO wear leggings with a really high heel and dressy top to dress them up.
- DONT wear leggings under a dress or skirt unless you are under 15 or over 40.
- DO make sure your top is appropriate. It must be baggy and of a certain lenght.
- DONT wear leggings with an abercrombie/hollister hoodie. Leggings are not a replacement for jeans, step away from the RA look.
- DONT underestimate the style power of leggings, worn with the right outfit, they can do wonders.
