NEUTRALS

Today was a really nice sunny day until i got home then it went all gloomy :( I seriously cannot wait until summer now!
I'm not sure if you would call these colours neutrals? But it's close enough and gave me the opportunity to wear my new shoes which i bought the other day! :) They were a bit of an impulse buy as i only went in to buy some socks haha but they as they were cheap (£16) i thought i might as well get them :)
I also got the butterfly top the other day too, found it in Primark for £12 whereas similar tops i've got from Topshop were £50-ish! I was so exited i got a pink flowery one too :D

JUST DANCE

Another Gaga look!
Thought i'd go for an old one where she was less crazy because i didn't have much time to make it. Most of the things i already had, just had to buy some jems and mirror tiles :)
I know she doesn't wear the Micky glasses in the Just Dance video, but i havn't worn them in a while and i like them :D



I'd searched the internet for a disco ball bra and found one! So it was easier to make my own :) I used 300 10 x 10mm mosaic mirror tiles and some silicone glue to stick them on. It took me a few hours to stick them on then left it overnight to dry and that's it really :) The only problem is that the tiles are quite sharp and i ended up with scratces all over the top of my arms where it had rubbed :(
I tried to make matching pants (like the ones she wears in her Love Game video), but as soon as i put them on, all the mirrors fell off haha



To finish the look i also made some Gaga shoes like she wears in the Just Dance video :) I tried to take a print screen but she walks to fast and couldn't get one! :( I used a really old pair of shoes that i never wear anymore and went about sticking little jems to them :)  I used about 500! I wanted clear ones but couldn't find any, so used ones that sparkle different colouurs, which i think look a bit cheap but when you're out it's not that noticable and it would take far too long to redo them!

I saw these shoes and though id have a go at making them myslef, and the fact i was on a break from Uni and had far too much time on my hands :)

I got my wedges off Ebay for £10 and thought they would be perfect to use!
I used some silver spray paint to hide the snakeskin pattern on the bottom as i though it would be noticable and show though the jems after i'd stuck them on. I used a 2lb bag of jems and set about sticking them on :) I also used some small mirror mosaic tiles as i didn't have any studs but i prefer them now. It only took me about 3 hours to so both shoes and was quite therapeutic haha :)

I wore these shoes out last night when i went down my local pub and everyone loved them! I was wearing all black so needed something to jazz up my outfit :) I really need to introduce some more colour into my outfits so it's a good start :D

I was also wearing my crazy hairy bag, i love it at the moment! It looks small but has like a million pockets inside and fits so much into it so it's perfect for me as i'm like Mary Poppin's and like to be equiped with an umbrella and a spare pair of flat shoes etc just in case :)

BLACK, BROWN & GOLD

My love for brown has returned! :) I had to go into Uni today to hand in some coursework so was the perfect opportunity to wear my new jumper! I saw it in H&M and just needed it in my life. I love the sparkly foil pieces on it and love the fit, slightly baggy with 3/4 sleeves. I'm always in H&M these days i seem to really like it, and the fact i cut through there to get to the bus station haha
This fake fur scarf is my new best friend! I have 2, this one and a grey / white looking one which i bourgh later as i thought this one was too ginger, but now it's my favorite :) I like how it has a clip on one side so you can clip it together so it doesn't blow off, the little things make me smile :) My jeans area also from H&M i like the fact they are slightly shiny, makes them a little more interesting than just plain black :)

ANGELS AND DEMONS

 I saw this picture slapped around town and had to copy the feather idea! So i did :)

Sammi Jackson - Angels and demons

I went about buing some black feathers, attatched them to strips of card then used safety pins to attatch them to a black blazer. I didn't want them there perminantly but the safety pins worked well anyway. I really could have done with more feathers but i didn't have time to get any more before i wanted to wear it :)

Now for the demon part...
I am so in love with these shoes!
I was looking for some Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk's but then came across these and lets face it, they blow anything else out of the water! Well i think so anyway!
I was a bit sceptical about ordering them becuase of the ridiculous amount of tax knew i would get charged and couldn't find any for sale in the UK -.- but it was cleary worth it! I love how they feel to walk in, like your walking on air :)
The only problem is that when i get drunk, i tend to lean back onto my heels... i forgot i was wearing them and nealy fell over haha fail...
Oh and the small spikes at the top are really sharp and should not grab them so hard when i go to take them off :( PAIN

CUT OUT

I was off for a night out for my boyfriend's birthday so wanted to dress up a bit, but i couldn't step away from black haha although in all fairness, i like black because it makes my hair look whiter, if i wear really light colours it makes my hair look green from all the dodgy dye jobs in the past :/ The top (well, bodysuit) was more mesh than top so i felt i had to wear a jacket with it, especially as i had my legs out - didn't want to look to naked it's not a good look. I thought the shoes would go well as they kind of have cut out bits too and despite being quite high, they are actually really comfy and i can party all night in them! :D Oh yeah and i'm wearing shiny tights, i'm too pale to get my legs out and it was cold anyways so needed them! :)

SQUARE STUDS

I'm liking all things studded recently and am in love with my new jacket! I wore this when i went out for a meal with my boyfriend, so put some heels on to dress it up, although i would have probably looked better without them as i really can't walk in them, i feel like the heels are going to snap off (bad past experience's.) but ahh well i like them :) The body is also something i've fallen in love with! It has mesh sleeves and a full mesh back, so dressed it down with the jacket :)

I am selling a few of these jackets so check out my asos site if you would like one :)
