All about OMBRE

Ombre is everywhere now in fashion and beauty. I am thinking of making my next DIYs ombre-related and there's just so many to choose from, such as
Shorts
Nails

Hair
and many more! Hmm..I kinda like all of them, need to choose my next project.

DIY: Studded and Spiked Denim Jacket

Here is my Studded and Spiked Denim DIY Jacket, just a simple way of updating an old jacket as denim never goes out of style. I am very camera shy (because  I am not skinny nor photogenic) but I think wearing my DIYs would be more interesting for my blog and its time to try something new. I finally found a store that sells spikes and I am glad that I was able to add it to this DIY. I placed the spikes on the shoulders to make it look punk-y haha. I noticed though that spikes have to be used with sturdy materials such as denim or leather since its heavy and will probably flop down with softer materials. 

A before and after pic below.


So where will you use your studs and spikes?

2 Weeks Notice

I failed to post regularly! Argh! The past 2 weeks have been crazy busy! I have been busy working overtime, fixing stuff for the garage sale, fell ill with PMS and some stress-related symptoms. My eye was twitching the other day and according to the Internet, this is due to fatigue and stress so I had to ban myself from using the computer. I have been resting as much as I can so hopefully this week will be better for me. 

Here are some Instagrams taken the past month.

Upcoming DIY: Studded Denim Jacket

My next DIY will be a studded denim jacket. Not exactly an original idea but I have been seeing lots of denim items in stores lately so I thought it would be a perfect way to update my old jacket. I am still deciding on where to place the studs and here are some of my pegs below:

Shoulder
Back
Sleeves
I only have plain circular studs and I have been looking all over for spikes but so far I found sellers from etsy.com. and it is quite expensive. 

On another note, I promise to update my blog regularly! Perhaps three posts weekly?
