'My Precious'

This is my blog post that i promised AGES ago, on how to DIY shorts. You may have seen my Levi shorts, that i wrote a post about, with a material patch on half of them. They cost a fortune to buy Levi shorts remade, so i thought it'd do it cheaper!  So bought some Levi shorts of Facebook for £7! The material was an old skirt i had, that i have never worn! After receiving the shorts, and cutting them down so they weren't so long, i drew out a pattern, just by putting paper over the shorts and drawing around the half i wanted. I then pinned this to the skirt, and cut it out. I hand sewed it on to the shorts, which isn't really that hard, making sure i turned the edges over, so it doesn't fray! I am proud of how they turned out at such a small price too!

Some small tips i have:

 Tip one: iron your material and shorts first.

Tip two: Don't cut your shorts too short, like i think i may have!

Tip three: Make sure you don't sew the material all the way through round the pockets, else you won't have access to your pockets! Just go through the pocket and not the actual leg!

If anyone needs any help with their shorts, just ask!

'There's no place like home'

Sorry it's been such a while since i did a blog! Here goes! A few weeks ago I found a Facebook business that made beautiful jewellery, at extremely reasonable prices. Not only were items between £1-£5 they were all original and very me. I happened to notice a competition they were running and entered, because you can't win if you don't enter! Yes, I did win, £15 worth of my choice of jewellery. I was so excited! Maybe with how my luck is, ill win the lottery soon! It took me HOURS to choose which items I wanted, and decided on 3 necklaces and 2 sets of earrings. A few days later they arrived, all packaged nicely. 

 I've never really been a jewellery lover, but these items were so vintage. I've worn them all since I got them, and I'm so happy with the quality of them all, especially for the price! They live up to, and exceed my expectations, i would've been very happy to pay £15 and receive these beauties! Lots of people have commented on how beautiful they are! I will definitely be back for more! I'd love for you all to go over to Blahgah Jewellery, and give her page a 'like' and tell her I sent you! You may just find something you fall in love with!

'To infinity and beyond'

It was one of them nights, where, yet again, I was bored on my lunch break. So in true 'Vintage Queen' fashion I went eBay shopping. My regular searches consist of 'shirt', 'Doc martens' and 'vintage.' On this particular day it was a 'vintage shirt' that I went hunting for, and boy did I find one! It was a floral, dusty pink, remade shirt. The pockets and collar tips had been covered in leather with studs on! I loved it! It was being sold by Doba_tribe_clothing. So a few days later when the item was ending on auction, I instructed my mum to bid on it for me - items are always ending when I'm at work, or on my way! I always have a limit on what I'll spend, and for this item it was £10 without postage. I had explained to my mum how much I LOVED this shirt and would be so gutted if I didn't win it. So, as per usual, I won. However, she had gone over my limit, by 11p, but I was ecstatic! 

So when my shirt arrived I have to say, I wasn't that impressed. The material wasn't what I expected, it was more cord material, I thought it'd be a thin, sheer shirt. I generally wear my shirts sleeves down, buttoned right up, well on this item, that doesn't look right. I have to say I haven't worn it out yet, and i'm not sure I'm going to. However, i haven't sold it on, because i still love it so much! So maybe one day, i'll wear it, and realise my love for it again! Saying that, I would buy from the seller again, they had described it perfectly, and if they made it, I am impressed by the quality! It makes me want to try and make something like this! If anybody has any ideas what i could wear this with, let me know! I'd love to wear it!
