Street Style

Have a look around the huge amounts of
Street Style snaps on the internet to get inspiration and ideas
for ways to put together an outfit.  

It really is all about style sometimes
and not the clothes themselves.

If you style yourself right you can wear cheaper or 

second hand clothing and still look AMAZING!

This outfit or ones inspired by this are easy to make up
from most things people have in their wardrobe
or basic plain items from the charity shop.

The leather jacket and the bright red sunglasses really add glamor
to an otherwise ordinary floral skirt.
Floral skirts are ten a penny (not literally!) in the charity shops!!!

Modelling Clay Jewellery

Here is a necklace that I made from modelling clay that you can bake in the oven to harden.  You can make whatever you like out of the clay and there are all sorts of colours available. 

Tips...

1. Figure out where you need holes for rings 

and chains before you bake the clay.

2. Use rings and chains from old jewellery you have lying 

around or from the charity shop. It's much cheaper than 

buying the craft pieces from a store.

3. Wash your hands between colours so you 

do not transfer colour, especially on the

 lighter colours like white and yellow.

4. Use tools to create a better finish.

Things like cocktail sticks, cutlery and pen lids are 

good to use, but anything will do if you can

 see how it would work. 

5. Press your clay onto textured surfaces to add detail.

Like on the clouds here 

I've pressed the clay onto a dotted surface.

Fabric Clashing and Patchwork Trend

I'm Loving these looks from Preen Spring/Summer 2013 range.  Clashing fabrics and patchwork, what a great trend for revampers!!!

You can get all sorts of old clothes and fabrics and create your own version with real ease.
