Patterned Playsuit - Thrifted Styling

Hello beautifuls!
Hope you all have had a wonderful week. Here is the second outfit of the day installment from my weekend away. Patterned playsuits are incredibly comfortable, yet effortlessly stylist at the same time. I found this gorgeous one at my local charity store (Thrift Shop) for $6. Black and white is always a favourite of mine, but don't forget to add a touch of colour. Just like I've done with these stunning statement earrings. There will be more charity store styling OOTD's coming soon so keep an eye out for them.

When you're wearing such a bold pattern like this, try to keep the look nice and simple. Let the pattern be your statement.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Back to Black

Autumn has finally set in, so I am taking advantage of it while it last. I am still loving monochrome. However as you can see, black is definitely more dominant.

Fawn Silhouette Canvas

(Quick side note. The fur on the little deer and fawn is NOT real).

Hello beautifuls,

I thought today would be a wonderful day to try out something creative an share it with you all.

What you will need:

Black spray paint
White paint
Paint brush
Paper masking tape
Scissors
A silhouette style picture you would like to use as a stencil
Canvas
A timber table to make your pictures look slightly hipster

Paint your canvas white or whatever background colour you have chosen. This make require a few layers.
Cut out your stencil and masking tape it to your page. I have also rolled little pieces of tape up and used them as double sided tape. I then placed these in ares of the stencil that might lift up whilst spraying.

3. Place newspaper under your canvas, unless you want to decorate your grass with spray paint like I did. Spray your canvas filling in the stenciled area.

4. Leave your canvas to dry for 30 minutes.

5. Take off the paper and masking tape. Place in desired area in which you wish to enhance your decor.

6. Bask in the glow of your own creativity.

I have almost finished university for the semester, so there will be a lot more posts and videos over the next month. Hope you have a fabulous day.

This was day three of my holiday. Once again I could not go past the perfect contrasting shades of black and white. I know it is Summer, and I am meant to be wearing bright colours, but I have a constant lust for the darker fabrics of fall.

I was captivated by the incredible colour of the water. I wish I could live in such a beautiful location. There is just something beautiful and peaceful about seaside towns.
