&lt;br /&gt;
On saturday in my local town hall there was a cute little vintage fair and i picked up a few goodies :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was pretty surprised that with only about 5/6 stalls in the teeny town hall that there was so much stuff to rake around in. A lot of it was your standard &#39;I picked this up in a charity shop and am going to pass it off as vintage&#39; but there was some hidden gems :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I only picked up 2 items from the sale, mainly because the other stuff i liked was either too expensive or too big to take back to work with me &lt;i&gt;(i went to the sale on my lunch break)&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Sooo the first piece i bought was this &lt;b&gt;beautiful &lt;/b&gt;Jacques Vert blouse. I have no idea what era it&#39;s from so if anyone knows please enlighten me! I fell in love with it because seriously, when the heck do you see quality like this in stores now?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The blouse is a size 16 but to be honest, i really don&#39;t think it fits like one &lt;i&gt;(sizes 20 odd years ago were different, right?)&lt;/i&gt;. My dress mannequin is a size 12 and the blouse sits comfortably on that and fits me perfectly so i&#39;m not complaining!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

The design features some beautiful appliquéd flowers and they are just so beautifully done. Its seriously looks unworn, no fraying or anything! The overall workmanship is wonderful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Did i mention it was only &lt;b&gt;£12&lt;/b&gt;?! Seriously made my day finding this... The rest of the rail was full of absolute tack to be honest! Anyway super chuffed with this, will look great with leggins or super skinnies!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The next bit i bought was a really lovely Vintage Laura Ashley skirt. I saw this at the same time as i saw the shirt and didn&#39;t buy it... but when i got back to work i had to run back up and buy it! Was too good to leave behind!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Okay so i know it doesn&#39;t exactly look breathtaking on my mannequin but seriously when it&#39;s on my it looks really nice! I completely fell in love with the print on the fabric but even more so the fabric! It&#39;s soooo soft and silky feeling but nice and heavy too so it makes a nice drape! I really need to press it because it&#39;s a bit creased!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The print is just really lovely and simple and in the prettiest of colours! And yet again the quality is IMPECCABLE. Seriously you really don&#39;t get quality like this on the high st now, the skirt is not see-through in the slightest and isn&#39;t frayed, torn or faded! I think judging by the label, style and a little googling this skirt is from the 70&#39;s but if anyone know for sure, again, let me know!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
How cute is the label?! And made in Great Britain too, don&#39;t see that anymore eh! Anyway this cost me &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;£15&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;yet another super steal! Will be wearing this in the summer &lt;i&gt;(if it ever comes)&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;With some cute flip flops, a baggy pale tank and some statement jewellery and sunglasses!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Lastly is an &lt;b&gt;AMAZING &lt;/b&gt;leather jacket that i didn&#39;t get from the vintage fair, i got it from my dad! &lt;i&gt;(thanks dad :))&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

How cool is this? It&#39;s pretty massive but it is males... well it&#39;s not THAT massive once you&#39;ve got it on! So this beauty is my Dads old motorbiking jacket! I&#39;ve been desperately wanting an oversized jacket of some form for &lt;b&gt;ages&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;and was pretty close to buying a fake leather one from ebay but dad offered me his from the attic!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I don&#39;t know what you guys think, but this is totally on-trend right now with the whole grunge look! I really can&#39;t wait to wear this out! I&#39;ve not had a chance to wear it out yet because apart from working i&#39;ve been a bit of a social hermit! I&#39;ll post an outfit when i do wear it though :) Also how cool are the badges?! I might add a few of my own ones too!&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;ve said this like a million times throughout this post but it&#39;s so true, quality just isn&#39;t the same now! Stores are being far too greedy with their money and skip out on the quality but that&#39;s a rant for another day... The jacket is pretty distressed as well but what do you expect from something that was worn on a motorbike? My dad said that when he bought it there was a tire mark right up the back from when the last owner got run over &lt;i&gt;haha&lt;/i&gt;. Gives it a bit of history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I have such a thing for old labels, they are also so much prettier! Anyway i will most likely wear this with pretty skinny fitting clothing because since the jacket is a bit oversized i don&#39;t wanna make myself look like an elephant!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Not posted much this week, been making the most of my recent free time &lt;i&gt;(by sleeping...lots...hah)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, because of the wonderful response i got from my last DIY i thought i would treat you to another one! I went on a major shopping spree on Monday and picked up a few things that are perfect for a bit of DIY! So stay tuned for more :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway if you want to see how to add your own studding detailing to a plain jumper then read on!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the finished look, it&#39;s super duper easy to do &lt;i&gt;(i promise)&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;literally took me about 10-20 minutes to do once i got all my stuff organised!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
First you will need to find a jumper you want to studify! I found this little beauty in Primark when i was on my massive shopping spree. I haven&#39;t really been shopping in Primark much recently but went in for a little browse and was pleasantly surprised! I spotted this in a huge pile of stock that was just waiting to go out on the rails and much to the un-amusement of the staff, i grabbed it straight off the pile! It was a complete steal at &lt;b&gt;£12!!!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;I got it in a size 14 so that it would be bit bigger and baggier than it should be! It seriously looks like a jumper i have been lusting after in the TOPSHOP petites section sooo it made sense to buy this cheaper alternative! Anyway, rambling over, i thought it would look nice with some studding detailing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBgi61WzC8Zq4v0b2t3Pl1kKG-LBIssnS6wRadYbzyrgufUsZjKSV4I8XLyEYzsb8CCaSC46moclTWj_Subu05mktwq964iWCwj2qjSFhutBl0CNbS2kjjowewrW46HgYPsykx8xIXGQS/s1600/2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;295&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDBgi61WzC8Zq4v0b2t3Pl1kKG-LBIssnS6wRadYbzyrgufUsZjKSV4I8XLyEYzsb8CCaSC46moclTWj_Subu05mktwq964iWCwj2qjSFhutBl0CNbS2kjjowewrW46HgYPsykx8xIXGQS/s400/2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
You will need to get yourself some scissors, a sharpie marker and a square ended screw driver. I had these things just laying around my house. If you&#39;re not sure if you have a screw driver, ask your dad, he will surely have a tool box full of them! Also, the type of screw driver you need will depend what type of screw back studs you purchase, so get your screw driver &lt;b&gt;AFTER &lt;/b&gt;you get the studs!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymcuT8Pk8RjAvgUXv2RcVxmRq_ItBGfOn3UyzhXhR4BBew7dNeV0gsmTexLOG9-g0xiT1JlXsWpfgXY6TIcNoQel1eAK4mQsahgxY2_gVVjZH_WI35umNP2AoDLhc6IOdodrQJiOJYwHX/s1600/3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymcuT8Pk8RjAvgUXv2RcVxmRq_ItBGfOn3UyzhXhR4BBew7dNeV0gsmTexLOG9-g0xiT1JlXsWpfgXY6TIcNoQel1eAK4mQsahgxY2_gVVjZH_WI35umNP2AoDLhc6IOdodrQJiOJYwHX/s400/3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;367&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Finally you will need to get yourself some screw back studs! I got mine from ebay&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;amp;item=120929686757#ht_2679wt_986&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. I got them a while ago for a previous DIY project &lt;i&gt;(studded denim shirt collar if you&#39;re interested). &lt;/i&gt;So i&#39;m just using the leftover ones for this design. They are roughly £10 for 50 studs so are really cheap when you think how many different projects you can use them in!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNeLnnkxwTG8r6mo-PNcRCau8IdOAj_vECRefgDlL5QCwe6LOUlWLm5F23Fsyqo0jkFZeEXHHhIjcyL5Impw67jXBuhcT32Ufn-l4VEV9vYl8YeYC9eTozilqPO580Xv9XZwx0ILM6vMbZ/s1600/4.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;417&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNeLnnkxwTG8r6mo-PNcRCau8IdOAj_vECRefgDlL5QCwe6LOUlWLm5F23Fsyqo0jkFZeEXHHhIjcyL5Impw67jXBuhcT32Ufn-l4VEV9vYl8YeYC9eTozilqPO580Xv9XZwx0ILM6vMbZ/s640/4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The first thing you need to do is decide how many studs you want to use and where you want them to be. I decided to use &lt;b&gt;13 studs&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;(mainly because that was pretty much all i had left...) &lt;/i&gt;I think odd numbers work best for this design because you can have one stud marking the middle of your collar and then work out in even numbers. So for my design, i worked out where the middle of my collar was and used my sharpie pen to make a small dot roughly where i wanted the stud to be &lt;i&gt;(don&#39;t worry too much about the mark being really dark, the stud will cover it when they are in!)&lt;/i&gt;. Once you have decided where the middle stud should be, i marked 6 dots on either side of the middle stud all the way to the side seams of the jumper. Obviously if you have decided on a different number of studs you will mark more or less dots! The placing of the dots is the most difficult bit really... And its not even that hard anyway ;)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgECuHef52VF6J6khTOTAfu-oVnIatKqqEh-UagoDkZ-na35idhOi1Whfyx6VGtzQnNGAcjvkm367nKWx9aBSvbHildqFPkdzwjOfTPh2iEnWf8XjlY3Yg2Kmnq7MYMHsTYFeJe1wXFphWo/s1600/5.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgECuHef52VF6J6khTOTAfu-oVnIatKqqEh-UagoDkZ-na35idhOi1Whfyx6VGtzQnNGAcjvkm367nKWx9aBSvbHildqFPkdzwjOfTPh2iEnWf8XjlY3Yg2Kmnq7MYMHsTYFeJe1wXFphWo/s400/5.jpg&quot; width=&quot;361&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
This step is optional. Since my jumper is quite a loose knit it allowed me to push my studs through &lt;b&gt;very &lt;/b&gt;easily, however if you have chosen a tougher jumper you will need to use your scissors to make a little hole where you marked your dot just to help the stud push through.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPOZJ0zwzzKhCKV1XA6ZLY4ZKjeeY-sEmgQNQEGH_qqkDpuSDM8v8gE_Qv9ALWQjjzRAZjaZziE1cKGNXmJUlEs5NJa2jUEHYVn6drOm024xwqrM1sD16BzwAZ2MCUPfpu9p1lMhF_XJqH/s1600/6.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPOZJ0zwzzKhCKV1XA6ZLY4ZKjeeY-sEmgQNQEGH_qqkDpuSDM8v8gE_Qv9ALWQjjzRAZjaZziE1cKGNXmJUlEs5NJa2jUEHYVn6drOm024xwqrM1sD16BzwAZ2MCUPfpu9p1lMhF_XJqH/s400/6.jpg&quot; width=&quot;327&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Now take the screw back piece of the stud and push it through from the back &lt;i&gt;(so that the flat piece is on the inside of the jumper and the screw piece is sticking out the front)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This is what it should look like on the &lt;b&gt;INSIDE&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the jumper :)&lt;/div&gt;

Now grab the top stud piece and screw it on top of the screw piece you just pushed through. You only need to screw the stud piece a couple of times to lightly secure it. You will tighten it properly in the next step.&lt;/div&gt;

Get your screw driver and on the back of the collar fasten the stud in place by screwing the piece in place as much as you can. &lt;i&gt;(usually only takes about 3/4 turns)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Just keep on repeating the above steps over the top of your marked template until you have got all the studs on.&lt;/div&gt;

And thats it! Super quick and super easy! Its a really nice way just to add a subtle bit of edge onto wooly jumpers. You could carry the studding detail right the way around the back as well if you like so that it is visible when your hair is tied up or if you have short hair, the choice is yours :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I hope i&#39;ve inspired some people to spruce up jumpers they already own or head out and buy a cheap jumper to DIY. It&#39;s seriously a &lt;b&gt;MUCH &lt;/b&gt;cheaper alternative to buying pre-studded jumpers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My first week editing Links a la Mode and so many amazing posts to choose only 20 from! Today marks the first day of summer for the northern hemisphere and judging by my choice below, I am willing summer to start in earnest in the UK! In the meantime, there’s tips on keeping stylish in the rain. One of the things I love about the fashion blogging community is the creativeness that it breeds and this week is no exception with a few brilliant and on-trend DIYs for your to try at home. If DIY-ing isn’t your thing but you still like to save your pennies there are posts for splurging or saving too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hello bloggers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I received my June issue of &lt;b&gt;GLOSSYBOX&lt;/b&gt; earlier this week in the post and decided to do a little review/un-boxining kind of thing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE2uCVNG10dB5Nc2iqKRKiGWKDUUwfGgYjHh-H-2XwQOhA_yjQ3FEcQm-B-kksnblrjU24SAm4UtSvtXPjTPtQNy-S_iH3tIC2BqfeIXY8JH2YLqtdmKxpxCgGGNc0l5NHxtp0rmLFmnd2/s1600/1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE2uCVNG10dB5Nc2iqKRKiGWKDUUwfGgYjHh-H-2XwQOhA_yjQ3FEcQm-B-kksnblrjU24SAm4UtSvtXPjTPtQNy-S_iH3tIC2BqfeIXY8JH2YLqtdmKxpxCgGGNc0l5NHxtp0rmLFmnd2/s320/1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This months GLOSSYBOX is packed full of your summer essentials. I have to say, I was initially pretty disappointed with this months issue. However it was a classic case of &#39;don&#39;t judge a book by its cover&#39;!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjgBcYhhga2xkr8_POJ2Fn1UfYwZ4TxlFRjLXNyfiDIYYvbEZAOVxsz9x2W5TH47aqr_Dcc1X4-6ooGxdZ2gY7McE7QoSJNXy3s0DAdK-laQiEpRkynxhjqEoNVcNFyO9IYxd0ugL3FbZZ/s1600/2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjgBcYhhga2xkr8_POJ2Fn1UfYwZ4TxlFRjLXNyfiDIYYvbEZAOVxsz9x2W5TH47aqr_Dcc1X4-6ooGxdZ2gY7McE7QoSJNXy3s0DAdK-laQiEpRkynxhjqEoNVcNFyO9IYxd0ugL3FbZZ/s400/2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjgBcYhhga2xkr8_POJ2Fn1UfYwZ4TxlFRjLXNyfiDIYYvbEZAOVxsz9x2W5TH47aqr_Dcc1X4-6ooGxdZ2gY7McE7QoSJNXy3s0DAdK-laQiEpRkynxhjqEoNVcNFyO9IYxd0ugL3FbZZ/s1600/2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
In my box i received Clean Start 3 step day and night kit, BM Beauty summer warmth bronzer, Vichy Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick starter kit, Yves Rocher Mini Mascara Ultra-Volume sexy pulp and finally a little GLOSSYBOX brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason i was initially disappointed in this box was purely because i didn&#39;t think i would actually use any of the products featured but i &lt;b&gt;100%&lt;/b&gt; have to retract that thought! &lt;b&gt;EVERYTHING&lt;/b&gt; in this box is super amazing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgSVTaXEaxQX1anHpJzLIMIhXGLxVh5qbCGiEonjsFbfuRQSj3NrhSRL4ybp26gbrbKpfj3L2G5DbmUvDhrx3hU8BKomm1pRDtSeQEah9J3DLBy5NYku8fxAArXSo1VWp1lm5MUtLDgba/s1600/3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgSVTaXEaxQX1anHpJzLIMIhXGLxVh5qbCGiEonjsFbfuRQSj3NrhSRL4ybp26gbrbKpfj3L2G5DbmUvDhrx3hU8BKomm1pRDtSeQEah9J3DLBy5NYku8fxAArXSo1VWp1lm5MUtLDgba/s400/3.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Clean Start 3 Step Night and Day Kit is &lt;b&gt;FABULOUS&lt;/b&gt;. The kit consists of three cute little travel size bottles/tubes. According to GLOSSYBOX this was sent to all their customers under twenty, How thoughtful! You use them in three steps night and day,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Step one - Is a 50ml bottle of foaming face wash which is designed to deep clean your face and scrub away any clogged pores. The face wash has a slightly strong &lt;i&gt;(whilst still being nice)&lt;/i&gt; citrus smell, which really wakes you up in the morning!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Step two - Is another 50ml bottle of refreshing face mist which is meant to fight breakouts and control shine. Well so far it definitely helped to control shine, but its too early to say if its actually helping keep breakouts at bay. This sample also has a strong citrus smell so its not pleasant if you accidentally breathe it in when you spray it on your face! But i&#39;m sure no one is as silly as me... hah!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Step three - A little 15ml tube of lightweight lotion. It is meant to be easy on your face and not clog up pores. You apply it first thing in the morning and last thing at night to keep you nice and moisturised! I personally looove this lotion, it made my skin &lt;b&gt;SO SOFT&lt;/b&gt; after only the first use!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Next up is a cute little bronzer sample by BM Beauty. I&#39;ve heard quite a few good things about this brand so was expecting something good! However i has just splashed out on some benefit hoola bronzer so wasn&#39;t really too excited by this product initially. The product information on GLOSSYBOX say that it suits most skin tones and can even be used as an eyeshadow, So it might come in useful at some point!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP3NNNJ7hiUUI3jY8NsvqxuxzwOJtF4eJQoTLwUYJDMA47k7uWU1KD_G1HTuXEOVrLDhh8VVayrMrcv6Hvjf8wTvpFIQYZQVXOFsBaNyvAb-zTSgxdXuec_Im-47pCJfPLn2hE593swIc4/s1600/10.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP3NNNJ7hiUUI3jY8NsvqxuxzwOJtF4eJQoTLwUYJDMA47k7uWU1KD_G1HTuXEOVrLDhh8VVayrMrcv6Hvjf8wTvpFIQYZQVXOFsBaNyvAb-zTSgxdXuec_Im-47pCJfPLn2hE593swIc4/s320/10.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
It looks as if the product could be pretty dark but when i tried it on my face it just leaves a really lovely little shine! It&#39;s actually gorgeous! It&#39;s only really noticeable in sunlight &lt;i&gt;(so was difficult to get a good photo of a swatch on my hand as its not stopped raining).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When i saw this little packet of samples i was pretty excited, I &lt;b&gt;LOVE&lt;/b&gt; trying new foundations &lt;i&gt;(maybe because i have never actually found one that i like...).&lt;/i&gt; Vichy Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick starter kit, what a mouthful!, Is designed especially for people with various skin problems &lt;i&gt;(Dark circles, Acne marks, Red skin, Dark spots and masking tattoo&#39;s)&lt;/i&gt;. The foundation is described as having &lt;b&gt;TWO TIMES&lt;/b&gt; the usual coverage as a heavy weight foundation, SPF 30 and is sweat and water resistant. Sound like the foundation dreams are made of!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I think its great how the sample gives you various shades to try and not to mention how generous the sample sizes are! I have used the top three lighter shades as a concealer the past few days, blending it in around my eyes, red bits around my nose, blemishes on my chin and a few red marks around my jaw line. It really does disguise any appearance of dark circles and red marks like magic! I really like how it creates a full coverage look without you looking like an oompa loompa! Haha! The full size retails at £19 which may be a little steep for me since i have no REAL reason to be using it but for people witch actual skin problems i think this is a fantastic  product to get your mitts on!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I had never heard of YVES ROCHER before i got this box so really had no clue what this sample was going to be like! I personally like a really volumising mascara and tend to use layer after layer after layer for a nice full effect so this product had me feeling hopeful! The brush looks fairly chunky, but its actually really nice to apply, it really gets all over all your lashes. I&#39;d say it was an average mascara!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In last months GLOSSYBOX we all received a little compact mirror, this month they have decide to give us a lovely little makeup brush branded by them &lt;i&gt;(hmmm wonder if this could be a regular thing?)&lt;/i&gt;. I&#39;ve not actually used the brush yet however the bristles feel &lt;b&gt;ULTRA&lt;/b&gt; soft so i&#39;m sure it will be perfect for some contouring work or just as a blusher brush!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve had a little look at other GLOSSYBOX reviews and have seen some super cool variations on this months box. I&#39;d love to hear what everyone thought of their products and if they got anything different!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Over and out lovelies X&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;PS, i just got paid so expect one hell of a haul coming up soon ;)&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;ve put together a really nice and simple &lt;i&gt;(or so i hope :S)&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;DIY tutorial on how you can create your very own spiked necklace! &lt;i&gt;Two DIY&#39;s in a row, i must be mad!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The bits and bobs you will need to create this necklace are:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Howlite skull beads in any colour or size you like! &lt;i&gt;(I ordered mine from Ebay&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dyed-Turquoise-Howlite-Strand-Small-Skull-Beads-Multicolour-34-beads-194-/251065608651?pt=UK_Crafts_Beads_CA&amp;amp;hash=item3a74ad29cb#ht_2358wt_971&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Some gold/silver seed beads, available from any craft shop &lt;i&gt;(Be sure they are big enough for the elastic)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Pin spikes &lt;i&gt;(I got mine from a TOPSHOP hair bobble that i spotted in the sale but you can get them from Ebay&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coffee-Golden-Coppery-Basketball-Wives-Spikes-Charms-Pendants-Beads-34mm-52mm-/330694222669?pt=UK_Crafts_JewelleryMaking_GL&amp;amp;var=&amp;amp;hash=item4cfee9634d#ht_14902wt_1204&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. They come in super funky colours)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Some jewellery elastic, extra strong is best. &lt;i&gt;(get this from a craft shop)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Necklace fastenings &lt;i&gt;(You can buy them from craft shops but i just chopped them off of an old necklace... whoops!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- You&#39;ll also need scissors and possibly a needle and pliers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qVoF7PVtae4rwZ5WKZ7zSwsGyLKjR2cLiyI7lLoK7Dk7MHaGQxrHFihwetQjSKECk2mxelqKRtkA5o7jt-uuDrbTeiX9tnkpMjwxMLvXsA6VjX79AAtagpRN7SicCCLOFrJ1aGQFxTp3/s1600/7.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qVoF7PVtae4rwZ5WKZ7zSwsGyLKjR2cLiyI7lLoK7Dk7MHaGQxrHFihwetQjSKECk2mxelqKRtkA5o7jt-uuDrbTeiX9tnkpMjwxMLvXsA6VjX79AAtagpRN7SicCCLOFrJ1aGQFxTp3/s400/7.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
First, cut your elastic to however long you want it. I find it easiest to pull out a long piece and hold it around my neck until i get it to the right length drop. The length i used was around 30cm &lt;i&gt;(add a little extra for tying off)&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Next, lay out or spikes and skull beads for the centre piece. You could do yours in the same pattern as mine or make up your own &lt;i&gt;(don&#39;t make it too heavy or the elastic will drape too much).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOZ8V39UMVxI3NMypnDbFZxEGHrmdx6xP3R0vvZ47r3K5IHEHYwUw7Nfsnen9Gwo7WRHGxrmx8bZ-MbbCxwVxC6XywIPCSX2Igf4K8XT_kp6ffFVe1QDf5R_001gQ-QHpBXsOXC02R9BSL/s1600/8.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOZ8V39UMVxI3NMypnDbFZxEGHrmdx6xP3R0vvZ47r3K5IHEHYwUw7Nfsnen9Gwo7WRHGxrmx8bZ-MbbCxwVxC6XywIPCSX2Igf4K8XT_kp6ffFVe1QDf5R_001gQ-QHpBXsOXC02R9BSL/s320/8.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Now take &lt;b&gt;only&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;the clip part of the necklace fastening and tie the end of the elastic through the small chain which should be at the end of the clip. &lt;i&gt;(you don&#39;t have to tie a bead in with it like i did, it makes no difference).&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;I personally tied about 10 single knots over and over again to make sure it was secure! But don&#39;t pull too tight or you&#39;ll break it.&amp;nbsp;You can leave as much of a tail end as you like, i always leave a centimetre or two.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiojonTAIrNd3JtyHaodwkKAujvciCo2G9pZ_JFMVNTgMhkdS3idQ2wbwylII9fyUp0YLMjJl-FyCwlWbBvrVNr6O9_P-j2ENCSrcdd0leTDYi_gq6vpIq50eXLrr3_-i7Hoi-HYbls7X9K/s1600/9.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiojonTAIrNd3JtyHaodwkKAujvciCo2G9pZ_JFMVNTgMhkdS3idQ2wbwylII9fyUp0YLMjJl-FyCwlWbBvrVNr6O9_P-j2ENCSrcdd0leTDYi_gq6vpIq50eXLrr3_-i7Hoi-HYbls7X9K/s320/9.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Take your gold and silver seed beads and thread them onto the elastic. You can do as much of this as you like but remember the same has done be done one the other side once you have put the centre piece in! I did 10cm of beading on either side. Try and place the beads on randomly so it doesn&#39;t have too much of a patterned effect.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5gcw3LnxY8cSDvFxlGs85Q-4V0k-uwBUGx5IfgyA2xD3MNleVNKzaCMKxqgSaXn5JgLysCOE4YZwEzOazjsU3Ywynd0mS6IgNKm8y67Jh8JDElv0uoBztHvKE8XajR-hb59KMk-_ZYMY/s1600/10.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5gcw3LnxY8cSDvFxlGs85Q-4V0k-uwBUGx5IfgyA2xD3MNleVNKzaCMKxqgSaXn5JgLysCOE4YZwEzOazjsU3Ywynd0mS6IgNKm8y67Jh8JDElv0uoBztHvKE8XajR-hb59KMk-_ZYMY/s400/10.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Picking up from where you stopped with the gold and silver seed beads start placing on your centre piece design. &lt;i&gt;(don&#39;t worry if its not sitting quite right, it will when it&#39;s hanging around your neck!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ6-wnkyOJOo4D1b9AL6e5a23_NdxaGfbxsK0QLsQqopteroIYJP88_9BfRmiw7kxs7aDCVyWNiFOBS9Fhj1j-PgT0webO_BG3Op_Ek77Arhieoo-VOM2zwboHvT93FuazL8QTRiJxCYRr/s1600/11.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ6-wnkyOJOo4D1b9AL6e5a23_NdxaGfbxsK0QLsQqopteroIYJP88_9BfRmiw7kxs7aDCVyWNiFOBS9Fhj1j-PgT0webO_BG3Op_Ek77Arhieoo-VOM2zwboHvT93FuazL8QTRiJxCYRr/s400/11.jpg&quot; width=&quot;263&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Using the seed beads again, do the same length and style along the other side. Try and do it as &lt;b&gt;evenly&lt;/b&gt; as possible to that the spikes and skulls will hang in the centre of the necklace.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuR4mFlT-5RLh_b6pyiR0PDMSeNp7h0apbBOKFt_E9SDNKKhrj1DHqdOf6BNRbLY9NnmooNVMsN_MaNg5UKNHaxobWjMbJf7BJvxHTpTMmkVZr9jOa3YXyzKN5vGD6gC7d5S4z6xAOhvL/s1600/15.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuR4mFlT-5RLh_b6pyiR0PDMSeNp7h0apbBOKFt_E9SDNKKhrj1DHqdOf6BNRbLY9NnmooNVMsN_MaNg5UKNHaxobWjMbJf7BJvxHTpTMmkVZr9jOa3YXyzKN5vGD6gC7d5S4z6xAOhvL/s320/15.jpg&quot; width=&quot;255&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Now finally, take the chain part of your necklace fastening and tie the elastic through the end chain. Try to get the knot as close to the last bead on the elastic as possible &lt;i&gt;(its alright if you stretch the elastic out a little bit when you are tying the knots. It will loosen up when worn.) &lt;/i&gt;Again, i tied the knot &lt;b&gt;several times&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;just to be sure it was secure!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;TIPS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- You can use a chain if it&#39;s thin enough to fit through the beads.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- If you don&#39;t want the elastic stretch effect buy &lt;b&gt;extra strong&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;thread and use that.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
And thats it! Really simple and makes a lovely necklace! Doesn&#39;t look too &#39;homemade&#39; either eh?!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The shops this month are packed full of gradient/dip-dye/ombre style clothing and what better to go with a dip-dye outfit than matching nails?! I&#39;ve put together a short tutorial on how i do my gradient style nails. There are probably lots of different methods but this is how i find it easiest. &lt;i&gt;(I am not in any way a beauty expert, i just like to paint my nails!) &lt;/i&gt;This is slightly more a beauty post rather than a fashion one but you can&#39;t have bare nails!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In this tutorial i&#39;ll show you step by step how to create the design in the picture above, It&#39;s super easy to do and really quick! Enjoy :)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Firstly you&#39;ll need to gather your materials. I have chosen to do my nails in two pastel colours, however you could do your&#39;s in as many or as few as you like! Be creative :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I used:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Barry M Nail Paint in &lt;b&gt;PEACH MELBA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- TOPSHOP Nails in &lt;b&gt;GONE FISHING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
- Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
You will also need a makeup sponge to create the gradient effect &lt;i&gt;(you could also use a q-tip or a household sponge if you don&#39;t have makeup sponges! But you can get them from any high street chemist!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Paint your nails in your chosen colours &lt;i&gt;(remember to do a thin base layer of the colour and let it dry completely. Then paint another layer on top. Keep layering until you think its thick enough) &lt;/i&gt;let your nails dry &lt;b&gt;completely &lt;/b&gt;before moving onto the next step.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Using your white nail varnish, pour a small amount onto a piece of paper and dab the tip of the sponge into it until it is covered. Dab the sponge a couple of times onto the paper to take off any excess before applying to the nails.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Gently dab the sponge down 3/4 of your nails &lt;i&gt;(so that there is still a small amount of colour left at the bottom. You don&#39;t want this layer to be too thick. if it goes on too dark take a clean sponge and dab over the nail until some of the white has lifted)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpS7NyIhUHW7Yx15XU0VBHsWM9gnnLLCx5SNuNlm-P-2DjoyTWCe55PQTmZJTu8enMDwXPTRddJkMqWZxfejuroz5j-moou59IS_WOgH4bivbC-lfxXmX6uJ_XGdUXuL8q2qU8tMbrOw7w/s1600/image4.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpS7NyIhUHW7Yx15XU0VBHsWM9gnnLLCx5SNuNlm-P-2DjoyTWCe55PQTmZJTu8enMDwXPTRddJkMqWZxfejuroz5j-moou59IS_WOgH4bivbC-lfxXmX6uJ_XGdUXuL8q2qU8tMbrOw7w/s320/image4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Cover the sponge in a little more white nail varnish &lt;i&gt;(you may need to pour some more onto your paper)&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp; and dab the sponge over half of your nail this time. You will start to see the slight gradient appearing now!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_vul3oFnq2F66Y-YNhRGkC4hiL7Txq0B3n_6F6eyDPkyPiFaAAf9AX5KIGbUErMwlgZXT3noHUgMnbRtoEgrITLHxAco_3QmDEHFh5uIkIxmM44R_wJ59ftMMVts1c43WdhgpwIg-UbtE/s1600/image5.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_vul3oFnq2F66Y-YNhRGkC4hiL7Txq0B3n_6F6eyDPkyPiFaAAf9AX5KIGbUErMwlgZXT3noHUgMnbRtoEgrITLHxAco_3QmDEHFh5uIkIxmM44R_wJ59ftMMVts1c43WdhgpwIg-UbtE/s320/image5.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Once more, put a little bit of white nail varnish onto the sponge and dab the very top part of your nails, It is up to you how far down you want to do this layer &lt;i&gt;(i would recommend not too much or you might spoil the effect!) &lt;/i&gt;Repeat this step again if you want the look to be bolder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm9iMHdf5CRcIyiodEImIrsq_7HdhDSXAIogyND9pUBDkXXEZx3iD_Y7ZNpHckAJj9P80vT0JX0AMj9nmhZuMTEG5Ssdp_AFxeRdTR2KJo4-0inoHQWyDx9Zzk7w5n3bFVMYtMwkQvy9RK/s1600/image6.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm9iMHdf5CRcIyiodEImIrsq_7HdhDSXAIogyND9pUBDkXXEZx3iD_Y7ZNpHckAJj9P80vT0JX0AMj9nmhZuMTEG5Ssdp_AFxeRdTR2KJo4-0inoHQWyDx9Zzk7w5n3bFVMYtMwkQvy9RK/s320/image6.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Using a q-tip &lt;i&gt;(cotton pad or a little bit of toilet roll will do too) &lt;/i&gt;gently remove any excess nail varnish around the edges of the fingers with a little bit of nail varnish remover!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;VOILA! &lt;/b&gt;You&#39;re done! Finish with a top coat if you want a shiny finish or leave them as they are for a matte finish! You don&#39;t have to use white as the gradient you could use a contrasting colour, or black if you want to use darker colours rather than pastels. The choice is yours!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So i&#39;m eagerly awaiting payday next week and have a shopping list as long as my arm full of my LUST HAVE things this June! I&#39;m thinking i&#39;ll make this a monthly post full of some gorgeous things i&#39;ve found on the web and instore for you lovely readers to get your hands on!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
First up is this &lt;b&gt;BEAUTIFUL &lt;/b&gt;red linen jacket from ZARA,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXim94jPoCMXrtPg8RFJhbuQqQS3fv_Ph81UT22l0AD4Ob_8t1B8QOiNRiOznSMHJMp9FFkLvaUgpAjZ529uy1GW9BsncNRw_-IENcd8RXM52_ob3WhERdMVnysDjPNUeQCdQx7ZBLk_fe/s1600/1zarajacket.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXim94jPoCMXrtPg8RFJhbuQqQS3fv_Ph81UT22l0AD4Ob_8t1B8QOiNRiOznSMHJMp9FFkLvaUgpAjZ529uy1GW9BsncNRw_-IENcd8RXM52_ob3WhERdMVnysDjPNUeQCdQx7ZBLk_fe/s400/1zarajacket.jpg&quot; width=&quot;311&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I fell in love with this jacket when i saw it in ZARA&#39;s lookbook, it&#39;s bold and breathtaking without being too &#39;in your face&#39;. The jacket features silver studded lapels &lt;i&gt;(which i think totally make the jacket even more gorgeous!) &lt;/i&gt;Not only does it come in red they also run in a beautiful minty blue/green colour! &amp;nbsp; It is a little pricey however ZARA have never failed me on quality or the love factor!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;ZARA - £59.99&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Next up is another ZARA item i have been lusting over since i first saw it instore, it&#39;s a lovely printed shirt with gold detailing at the bottom of the collar&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTuGF4zDTpOQGQIbLffPoLvJs-_LlnyIw98oSUQsrYW16Y5IA6zgK96tHNfZ6LkYb7ZTsW_r9zx2i_of1gdmmGIo-yfzMMX0NVhDZl0joQMHUgRVHIgLdpRW48Wi_IsfYNI3UgZQFbVkiW/s1600/3zarashirt.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTuGF4zDTpOQGQIbLffPoLvJs-_LlnyIw98oSUQsrYW16Y5IA6zgK96tHNfZ6LkYb7ZTsW_r9zx2i_of1gdmmGIo-yfzMMX0NVhDZl0joQMHUgRVHIgLdpRW48Wi_IsfYNI3UgZQFbVkiW/s320/3zarashirt.jpg&quot; width=&quot;249&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The print on it is so cute and simple. You could wear this shirt casual with a pair of leggings and a leather jacket or dress it up with a skirt or dress trousers. This is definitely being purchased come payday!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;ZARA - £29.99&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/uk/en/zara-S2012/189508/783014/SHIRT%2BWITH%2BGOLD%2BTIPPED%2BCOLLAR&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Get it here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
So i&#39;m possibly going OTT with the whole studded vibe this month &lt;i&gt;(not going to lie, i am a stud addict...) &lt;/i&gt;But this new jumper at TOPSHOP defo won&#39;t be in stock long so i would grab it while you can!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZv_TfASLhtXvg1BABJDMscvt-GtEl3aG3slPe9s9-wKVYLH8as80jp33-n933flgmSbwPeXq_i02rHjgHtj6dBepXCsmV0u4-xRI32yxKThgYqQTFZgT2WEb_SEdIu0Ospo5jYE56brbR/s1600/4topshopsweat.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZv_TfASLhtXvg1BABJDMscvt-GtEl3aG3slPe9s9-wKVYLH8as80jp33-n933flgmSbwPeXq_i02rHjgHtj6dBepXCsmV0u4-xRI32yxKThgYqQTFZgT2WEb_SEdIu0Ospo5jYE56brbR/s320/4topshopsweat.jpg&quot; width=&quot;213&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The jumper is a basic slouch style with dip-dye colouring which makes it really wearable. The silver spike studded panels on the shoulders are a really edgy finish that totally set off the whole style of the jumper. From what i know about other studded TOPSHOP jumpers they have sold out &lt;b&gt;super&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;quickly! So shop fast!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;TOPSHOP - £36.00&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
This item is possibly &lt;b&gt;number one&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;on my list of things to buy this month! I have such a thing for knit jumpers at the moment! &lt;i&gt;(you need a good few knitted jumpers for a Scottish &#39;summer&#39;). &lt;/i&gt;This is another TOPSHOP piece and just looks so cosy! It totally reminds me of a jumper you would expect to see your Grandad in! &lt;i&gt;(with a feminine touch obviously;))&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
In my opinion this jumper is &lt;b&gt;amazing&lt;/b&gt;. Would definitely go perfectly with some skinnies or leggings and some big biker boots! Perfect for cold rainy days!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Finally, an item i have already caved in and bought! I couldn&#39;t resist them! I spotted them on ASOS a few months back but they sold out before i had money, so when i saw they were back in stock i had to pounce!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
These monochrome pannel leggings are such a statement piece and i really think anyone can pull them off! The white panels run along the inside and the outside of your legs and i personally think they create the illusion of skinnier legs! &lt;i&gt;(what a godsend!) &lt;/i&gt;Anyway, they look FAB on and i will post an OOTD with them sometime soon &lt;i&gt;(i&#39;ll have to borrow/invest in/find a decent camera first though!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So i&#39;ve not had much of a chance to check my blog for a few weeks! Mainly because life has been so hectic getting ready for the end of my first year!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last week we put together a fashion show of our years work at college and showcased it in the small basement theater! It was such a rewarding experience, My self and the rest of my class had worked &lt;b&gt;SUPER&lt;/b&gt; hard throughout the year creating our garments! The themes that we designed our garments around were Bubblegum &lt;i&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Wild west, Byzantine and Guys and Dolls.&amp;nbsp;Sadly for me the fashion show marked the end of my time studying at Aberdeen College as i will be leaving for Galashiels School of Textiles and Design come September! Words seriously can&#39;t describe how excited i am to have been given the opportunity to study at such &amp;nbsp;prestigious school!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, below are some images from backstage&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;(i&#39;m yet to be shown any that were taken from the catwalk!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I thought for my first post I would do a little review on the &lt;b&gt;Jeffrey Campbell Lita&#39;s&lt;/b&gt;! I know when I was looking to purchase mine I was hunting out blogs from all corners of the internet for reviews and advice so hopefully i can help out some other people!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I purchased my Lita&#39;s from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.solestruck.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.solestruck.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about four months ago. I&#39;m from Scotland so searching for a retailer was extremely difficult. I know Office do them, but they were out of stock! Solestuck have a fantastic range of colours in the Lita &lt;i&gt;(as well as other Jeffrey Campbell models too)&lt;/i&gt; so unsurprisingly i was like a kid in a candy shop! In the end I decided to opt for the Distressed leather model. In my opinion these are the most versatile, they go with pretty much anything! They were $159.95 &lt;i&gt;(around £100)&lt;/i&gt; with free postage. They took around a week to get to the UK but were held up in customs FOREVER &lt;i&gt;(well... thats an exaggeration, they were there for 3 weeks)&lt;/i&gt;. THEN I was hit with £30 customs charges! However after waiting in a month for them and paying the customs charges they were SOOO worth the money/time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, onto the actual review!&lt;br /&gt;
When my Lita&#39;s finally arrived they came in this cute little box!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU8ygdebsN-eoR0OLrWt_Uba4a8BqzFTKDe_fPziScZgbVxWk-O4xRhIaWmzH4Kbhiz95fQ30rg6877dzBAUaHWq7BIEflhHnpzC5qaGTt67nSlxh4dTPRPM-_8jiS0wZNwqU7VZlwQ0-6/s1600/ca3d0ade726e11e1989612313815112c_7.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU8ygdebsN-eoR0OLrWt_Uba4a8BqzFTKDe_fPziScZgbVxWk-O4xRhIaWmzH4Kbhiz95fQ30rg6877dzBAUaHWq7BIEflhHnpzC5qaGTt67nSlxh4dTPRPM-_8jiS0wZNwqU7VZlwQ0-6/s200/ca3d0ade726e11e1989612313815112c_7.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I think the box is such a lovely finishing touch, at first I was disappointed that i didn&#39;t get the Jeffrey Campbell crossword box. But hey, we can&#39;t all win!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Inside the box was two beautifully presented little Lita&#39;s! In lovely little shoe protector bags! &lt;i&gt;(Not that I even noticed them whilst excitedly grabbing the shoes!). &lt;/i&gt;Now, heres the important bit... I had read reviews online saying they were not true to size and to get a size &lt;b&gt;smaller&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;than you actually are... Well... I got mine in a size five &lt;i&gt;(my actual shoe size)&lt;/i&gt; and they fit like a DREAM! My footsies just fit absolutely perfectly in them! So in my opinion they run pretty true to size...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
They are also &lt;b&gt;the most comfortable shoes i have EVER worn&lt;/b&gt;! (&lt;i&gt;Yes this includes flats)&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have worn them on EVERY night out I have been on since I got them and have not had sore feet even once! I honestly walked the two miles too and from the club and danced all night long in them and not felt so much as a tingle of pain! I also wore them for a WHOLE DAY at college (9-4) Again, not a single tingle of pain! Major bonus!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Anyway rounding things up, I would totally recommend these babies to anyone who is even just slightly considering getting them. They are 100% value for money, super comfy and did I mention SUPER DUPER EASY TO WALK IN!! If anyone has any questions or anything regarding the Lita&#39;s I would be more than happy to help :) I really hope this has helped anyone looking for reviews/advice!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Oh and these are my babies ;)&lt;/div&gt;
