Quote of the week

Yes Please! Hmm Genie can I have that wish?

Whats next...Crop Tops!

I have always had a love for any sort of cropped top- they can make your outfit cute, preppy, sassy and edgy along with many other styles.. and I have more crop tops in my wardrobe than I'd care to admit...

BUT

You can never have enough clothes right? ;) So, I have decided to choose a crop top pattern to sew in sewing class next week *yay*.

Wish List Wednesday!

TOPSHOP

Good Looking - Black Stripy Lace Fitted Dress

£48.00

Shop for it here: http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/dresses-442/good-looking-black-stripy-lace-fitted-dress-by-goldie-4981961?bi=0&ps=20

The reason that I chose this on my wish list is because I love the lines on the dress and how it compliments ones figure whilst making your waist look smaller through optical illusion. I think it has been named 'good looking' for a reason..

Do you like it? <3

Outfit of the Day: street style

For todays Outfit of the day I went for a street style look.

It was a hot day with a little bit of a breeze, so I paired a little crop top with high-waisted shorts and a denim wrap around shirt (these are useful to wrap around your waist in case it gets cold- they also make a simple outfit with shorts and a top look super stylish.)

High-waisted light blue denim shorts

Making my own leggings

Finally I have taken up sewing classes again and I am now officially hooked.

It has always been my dream to start making my own clothing and I am now finally getting there..

Sewing is such a therapeutic art when you finally get the hang of it and I really suggest (if you enjoy clothing or being crafty) that if you need a new hobby, take a sewing class when you have free time- you won't regret it.

So, as a result of falling in love with sewing, I decided to make my own pair of icy blue high-waisted leggings today...here are a few pictures of the steps taken to make my leggings:

Always use a fabric that is nice and stretchy when making leggings.

Here is a picture of my chosen pattern pinned next to the salvage of the fabric.

Before you start sewing, always make sure you have a thread that matches the colour of your chosen fabric. Also after cutting out your pattern you can use the scraps/ leftovers of your fabric to practice sewing a few stitches before you begin sewing your actual product.

sewing away...almost there

Voila! The finished product <3

I really enjoyed making these and they only took a few hours to make!

Stay posted to see how I use these in an OOTD... :)

p.s I would love to hear about all of your sewing journeys and what your favourite thing is to make <3
