C is for......

Collars!
Collars are really in style this year and i am loving it! There are so many different types of collars. studded collars are so easy to do and they look so effective *thinking of doing a DIY studded collar so watch this space!*. 'Here' I have already done using a collar of an old shirt. also peter pan collars always look cute espeically the lace one's! i think collars are a gorgeouse way to add something to a boring outfit!

Do you like collars?

Style crush ; michelle keegan


Michelle keegan has always been and amazing actor on corrie *Coronation street*. She is one of my style crushes because she always looks amazing and always adds colour and/or beautiful accsesorises to an outfit. Her outfits are very girly but yet they have a rock chic element to them. In the first picture i love the fact that as it is a really girly outfit she has added a leather jacket this is very michelle.

do you like michelle's style?

 Step4; after another hour turn the skirt over using gloves and add salt to open up the fabric and make the dye come out more.

B is for.......

Boohoo
 Boohoo.com is an online fashion website. although most of its clothing and acsesorises are a bit overpriced i love almost everything on their website and I love having a brouse through their stock when i have 5 mins spair time. when you have come across something that you like you can have a closer look and i love the fact it has little style notes hinting how to where the piece of clothing you have chosen. 

Here is the link to the website if you would like to check it out.

do you like boohoo?
