Turn your old T-shirt into a Crop Top



Here's what you will need;
  • old t-shirt
  • Scissors
  • safety pins
  • needle and thread
So the first step is to figure out whether you want it till your navel or just below the belly button.

Once you have done that, cut the piece into two halves




Now you need to sew the edges using a needle and a thread. Make sure to leave a small loop or hole on one side


Take the other half of the fabric, measure 2" (inches) and cut horizontally. You will have a long round loop. Cut one of the edge so you have a straight line. Tie to a safety pin and insert through one loop of your cropped top and take it out from the other end.

 


I've changed the neckline to V-shape and cut the sleeves as well.


Here are some Tips to help you with your shopping on E-bay



  1. Do a lot of research about the item you want to buy.
  2. Look for the tiny details that distinguish them from the fake ones i.e for handbags, check the stitching, hooks, handbag strap etc.
  3. Check the reviews of the seller
  4. Keep a figure in mind, so that you dont get carried away or end up spending more.
  5. Check for the current retail price of the item you are intending of buying.
  6. Check the photos and description of the item. See if all the information is provided. If there is something you are unsure about or you would like to know more details about the item, send an e-mail to the person who is selling the item. So you are satisfied and your mind is clear.
  7. Lastly, do not place a bid straightaway. See how many hours or days you have remaining. In that way, it will help you prioritize your needs. If you really want the item then you can place a bid and if you are not really keen then you can save that money to spend on something else.

Hope these tips will help you. Happy and safe shopping!!!!

DIY - How to make a Button Bracelet


Hey guys, hope u all are enjoying your weekend. My brother is flying to Malta this evening and he wanted me to make a bracelet for him and for myself as well :D

Outfit of the Day - Office / Work outfit



Hey guys, this is what I wore for work today...I wanted it to be formal at the same time give it a casual attire.


Long sleeve, gold buttoned, flower embroided collar top is from Primark. Its 100% Polyester. 
As it is a loose fit, I decided to get size 6 and not size 8.   

 
I paired it with  Ponte Zip Slim Leggings, which has a zipper on both sides. It's got warm and cosy feel to it. It's 61% Viscose, 35% Polyester and 4% Elastane. I got this in size8, they are bit loose but I can probably add my cosy tights underneath it to beat the cold weather.
 


I wore my lovely black booties with this but you can wear pumps or hills. I kept my accessories minimal so that the top can take the centre stage.

Angelina Jolie's right leg uff Slit Dress fashion



After being the target at Oscars, looks like Angelina Jolie is having the last laugh.



 The designers and the stars seem to follow her. Kate Middleton wore a cream Roland Mouret gown for the Thirty Club Dinner.



While the Slumdog millionaire star Freida Pinto loved it so much that, her red carpet outfits were thigh high slit dresses. Neon Atelier & black sequin by Versace and the embellished peplum dress by Michael Angel.

The Classic White Shirt

Make sure you get the right fit. Choose one that is neither tight nor loose.

You can wear it with;
  • Jeans, 
  • Skirts, 
  • Shorts, 
  • Trousers, 
  • Leggings, 
  • Jeggings  

If you are wearing it with a trousers or skirts wear it tucked in, but when wearing it on skinny jeans or leggings has to be untucked.

How to Accessorize:
  • Add a statement necklace 
  • A long necklace 
  • A cuff 
  • Add a peter pan collar to your round neck shirt/blouse. 

Try to to be minimalistic with the jewellery, don't pile them on.

When wearing white and black, finish the look with red lipstick and a red clutch or bag. If you thinking of wearing a cardigan, opt for a v-neck shirt.














Look after your white Shirt
Tip: wash it in cold water, it allows the fabrics to retain its color and strength longer. Hot water tends to make clothes shrink, fade and wrinkle.
