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.

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 

1. Paint your canvas white or whatever background colour you have chosen.  This make require a few layers.
2. 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.

Garden Stroll

Hello beautifuls,

If you follow my Instagram or tumblr you'd probably already know that a couple of weeks ago I went on a little trip.  During this trip my fabulous friend Molly took photos of me.  So finally here they are.  Thank you very much to Molly for taking these.  Her various social link will be at the bottom.

I honestly love taking photos in gardens.  I will spend forever trying to get the perfect shot of everything that I see.  

I was rather excited about taking photos of this outfit in particular because this top was designed and made me.  I was feeling really inspired by higher necklines and fall colours.  Crushed velvet fabric also looks really 90's to me, which I am constantly being inspire by at the moment.  Not to mention crushed velvet looks and feels pretty awesome.  Nothing goes better with crushed velvet than leather, or in my case faux leather.  

I am still very much in love with these flatforms from Topshop.

You can't expect me to be serious the whole time right ;)

Easter Nails

Easter is so close I can almost taste it.  Which obviously has nothing to do with the fact that I just ate a rocky road ice-cream :P I have complete fallen in love with Easter colours this year.  So I have put together a very quick and easy Easter inspired nail look for you.  

I used Essie Rock the Boat and N.Y.C. Pink Cheeks to achieve this look.  I would recommend also using a clear coat over the top.  I usually use Sally Hanson, but I don't have it with me today.  

Firstly I painted all but two of my feature nails with Rock the Boat.  Then I painted my feature nails with Pink Cheeks.  These both needed to coats.  

After this I used a small brush a painted an oval shape for an egg on my two feature nails with Rock the Boat.  This also required two coats again.  

Lastly I used the smaller brush to create little spots on the egg with Pink Cheeks. If you do not have a smaller brush I have also used the end of a tooth pick or the end of a bobby pin before.  The tooth pick allows you to create really small shapes.  

Finally you have a very cute Easter nail look.  

Happy Easter everyone!  Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
