Who wants to hide their hair grips when you can greet someone with them instead! The options are limitless as you don’t have to stick to just one word. Send a message (Positive Vibes) or make name hair grips for all you friends. No one will look at the back of your head the same way again!

DIY Shark Tooth Necklace
With the summer finally rearing its warm and magnificent head I’m starting to have all sorts of wanderlust aspirations. I want to lay on beaches with salt in my hair and sand on my skin. I want to explore jungles and old cities and most of all I want to burn all my winter clothes (ok, slightly extreme. Maybe just put them away for a couple of months) and wear loose dresses, shorts and camisoles and lots of beaded tunics. I’m planning a lot of jewellery tutorials with this image in mind at the moment and this is just so… Read More
How to Make Fishtail Loom bracelets
If you regularly read this blog you’ll know I’m a sun seeker. Give me a park on a sunny day and I’m happy as a clam, or a bunny, or that happy little chipmunk animal that has a leaf… and loves it (look it up on Pinterest). So a weekend in London with my mum and niece has become mostly a weekend in the park with a bit of shopping in between and while we were relaxing my niece, Noelia, taught me how to make these fishtail loom bracelets! She’s teaching me! Luckily I had my camera on hand and… Read More
Fall For…. Tangible Textures
Yesterday my sister got married! We’ve been keeping it a secret because they wanted a small celebration with just family and to surprise everyone else. It might seem unusual but I think one of the best things about doing it this way was that we got to spend time as a new family together. Eating, drinking, laughing (watching England lose) and getting to know each other better without the dilution that having a bigger wedding party would inevitably bring. (Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but in this case keeping it small felt right.) I had my roles…. Read More
DIY Copper Pipe and Wood Slice Side Table
This side table is the perfect example of procrastination. I have been ‘planning’ this tutorial since we purchased our Christmas tree and it came with this hunk of wood on the bottom. I (naturally) squirrelled it away to make into the perfect DIY at a later date… Six months and 500 ideas later I decided I had to just get on with it and I’m so happy I did! No longer do I have to reach so far for my coffee in the morning. That in itself is worth it. Materials: Wood Slice Bench Vice Copper Pipe Saddle Clips Screws &… Read More
How to Make Blogger Friends and Collaborate with People
Bloggers are always harping on (myself included) about how amazing our ever growing community is, how friendly and helpful other bloggers can be and the fantastic collaborations that help grow our blogs, businesses and friendship groups to dizzying heights. But if you’re new to blogging or you just haven’t made these connections yet it can all seem like a fabulous party you didn’t get an invite to. So Cinderella, how can you go to the ball? Stop Trying to Get with the ‘In’ Crowd First up, stop expecting that fairy god mother to show up and get you on the guest… Read More
Make it Easy: Crystal Embellished Loafers
Reason no. 546 I’m meant for a hotter climate: Sandals are my absolute favourite summer shoe. I love them. They remind me of beaches and holidays and sunny walks, but alas, we live in time where a sturdier shoe is sometimes required. Loafers. These are a shoe that will protect you from surprise weather conditions and look awesome at the same time. I’ve sort of fallen in love with these Crystal Embellished Leather Loafers from No. 21 and I love them even more because I can DIY them! Here’s what you will need: Loafers Rhinestone Shapes Drops Squares Triangles E6000… Read More
DIY Paper Bag Clutch
I’ve got a confession to make. I had an ulterior motive for my How To tutorial this week. It was my attempt at easing myself into this clutch tutorial. I’ve been meaning to share this DIY with you for a long time now. I’ve made this bag in leather and I love it so much I wanted a softer version for the summer. I think this bag would look fantastic in lighter colours, but I wasn’t quite brave enough… this time. It’s also a great way to use up off cuts of old fabrics (you know this is high on my… Read More
