Models Own Blooboo with gems!

Not getting up today...

Going to chill with the kitties and test out my new nailvarnish! :)

Boo :(

So I was meant to go to the piercers to get my circular ball closure rings in my ear changed to straight barbells so they looked a lot less clunky, but the bloody bars that were ordered in ended up being too short! So annoyed. Now I have to wait till next week and my ear hurts now because of the unnecessary faffing. :(

O.O.T.D - I hate birthdays!

Hi guys! O.O.T.D again...casual and comfy...AGAIN!

Just headed out to find birthday presents today, very little to no luck at all!

Anyway, made an appointment with the piercer tomorrow to get my inner helix CBR (rings) changed to barbells (studs). Yay! Can't wait for that as my ear just looks clunky with these big ol' rings in them.

I have my new shirt on that I got from Topshop sale.

Basic drop arm hole tank top from New Look.

Baxter skinny jeans from Topshop.

Bag, as ever, is the Rocco by Alexander Wang.

I whacked out the Acne Pistols today, hurt the balls of my foot slightly as I've been walking in flats for months on end. Not too uncomfortable though!

Watch is by Michael Kors and is in the Rose Gold colour.

Same old bracelets that you've seen a million times.

Pandora double wrap leather bracelet with Buddha charm and Links of London Skull friendship bracelet.

I have on my Ray Ban Clubmasters which I was going to send back but it was too late out of the refund time so I'm just going to wear them for a bit and perhaps sell on. Not quite decided on them yet!

Minimal makeup, I'm just wearing Number 17 Beehive lipstick on my lips.

See you tomorrow with an update!

How to: Ombre bleach/dip dye shirt and jeans!

I've been craving a DIY project for a while, so what better way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than messing around with bleach and charity shop clothes!

I got this pink shirt a while back at my local charity shop and decided to use it as the tester for my DIY bleaching project.

Keep scrolling to see what I did and how I did it!

We went from this, plain shirt....

...to this ombre dip dyed number!

I love it! Here's how I did it!

Set up your work space. I decided to work outside as we are playing with bleach and I didn't fancy bleaching my carpet by accident. I also used rubber gloves to keep my hands from getting irritated.

You need a bucket, filled half full with hot water. You also need some regular bleach. I used Tesco Value Thin Bleach. Mix a good few glugs of bleach into the water.

I prepped my shirt by tying a plastic bag around the top of the material that I wanted to protect from the bleach.

Then place the bottom of the shirt into the bleach. Keep the top of the shirt lay over the edge of the bucket so no bleach reaches the protected parts covered by the plastic.

Keep an eye on the colour, I left mine for about ten minutes in total, but keep checking to see how well the colour is bleaching out.

Once happy with the colour, pour away the bleachy water safely. Then fill your bucket with clean water and rinse out your garment. Repeat this process a couple of times and Bob's your Uncle!

If you prefer, bung it in the washing machine to make sure any traces of bleach are gone.

This is the end result!

I also tried on some old jeans that I never wear. 

I used the same technique but found that I needed a lot more bleach, and still the colour did not come away as well as I'd hoped.

I gave up half way and just whacked them in the washing machine. The end result is very subtle and very hard to capture on camera, however I really like how they turned out.

You can kind of see the colour difference between the bottom of the jean and the bum part. Very subtle but I like it. May try re-bleaching to make them lighter when I have the time!

Hope this was helpful and inspiring to some of you! Next, tie dye I think!

How exciting!
