Seventeen!

Hey, Ya!


Okay, I am positivity sure that I am not the only girl out there who loves watching closet tours, right? If you haven't watched one before, you are missing out big time and I am about to put you out of your misery! Yay!

I have spent ridiclious (yes, spell check, RIDIC-LI-OUS, it sounds so much more fun that ridiculous, right?) amounts of time on seventeen.com within the last few days. I never really realized there was so many amazing videos and advice pages on it. Perfect if you are (like me) into fashion, make up, hair and all things girly! :D
Check out the Beauty Smarties, (have you heard of Blair and Elle Fowler? Expect a blog post on them soon!) they are Beauty Gurus from YouTube that seventeen.com have selected to be our all-things-beauty teachers! Who wishes their school offered beauty and fashion as a class? I do! :) check them out! 
Thank goodness for the style council though, these girls are my favourite: 
Adrianna's closet tour
Valerie's closet tour
Chelsea's closet tour

There are many more you will love, have a look through them all at seventeen.com


Just while we're on the topic of seventeen, here's my favourite clip from the movie "Seventeen Again" starring Zac Efron :) YouTube Seventeen Again

DIY bracelet holder

Do
you have a favourite store that no one else knows about?
I
am a huge fan of little boutiques. 

You can always find them, hiding around the corner of a street,
three blocks down from Glassons and Supre which is why
it is undiscovered and no one else shops there. You can find the most
amazing dresses, 

one-off individual pieces, tonnes of cute jewelry, and they're often 

inexpensive. 
(Please note: I do not own this image!)

I found myself
in a store recently and it was like a 

fairytale. Clothes and jewelery surrounding everything, mannequins 

modeling handbags, hats and watches. It had extra rooms out the back with
even 

more gorgeous clothing.

But you may be surprised to know that my favourite item in the store was
actually the jewelery stand. 

If you're like me, you have all of your bracelets, necklaces, rings and 

earrings shoved into one draw, making it completely and utterly 

impossible to untangle that adorable beaded necklace you were given by 

your super trendy cousin from Italy last Christmas. What really caught 

my eye was a plain bracelet holder stand. So simple, yet so effective. 

I rummaged through my bag to find my wallet and sighed when I remembered i
had just blown all my money on a black and white zebra-striped scarf not 5
minutes before. But then something struck me, and I thought to myself, "I
could do that!" believe me when I tell you I 

was excited about this.



So I did. I made
it.


And if you are interested in making one of these yourself (which of 

course you should be), here are my instructions. So without further 

ado, (I apologise for the massive intro) 
You
will need:
•The
inside of a glad wrap cardboard roll or a similar tube


•Some coloured paper (or plain white paper and some paints if you would
prefer to decorate that way)


•Scissors


•Double sided tape


•A wooden stick (or a wide pencil)


•A ruler


•A base of some sort (I used an empty eclipse mints box, but you can use a
large styrafome square or whatever works best for you)






Measure half way on your cardboard tube and cut a slit in the width of the
pencil or wooden stick. Then poke the stick through so that it fits nice
and snug.

Cut two rectangles of coloured paper large enough to fit over he ends. 

Tape them down on the sides

Then cut a piece of the paper large enough to fit around the tube. Use 

double sided tape to secure it in place. Be sure to cut a hole in the 

paper where the wooden stick will sit.

Cover the base in paper and if you are using styrafome, press the 

stick through the middle, attaching it to both the base and the tube. 

If you like you can decorate it with paints, pens and even magazine cut outs.

Display your bracelets!

Good luck :)

Where there's a Will, there's a Kate!

The Royal Wedding was beautiful. I thought it was so amazing that a predicted two billion people were watching. Wow. But on to the REAL point. 

Kate's wedding dress. Oh. My. Gosh. Wasn't it stunning?

I think everyone was was jealous of the dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

Gorgeous white detailed sleeves, the perfect neckline and beautiful fabric. Her hair was out in a natural style and she had a classic bouquet of flowers, fit for a princess.

It was such a long wait for Kate to arrive, I'm sure Will would have been so nervous!

Also, Pippa looked amazing as well! Some say that she upstaged Kate, but I don't agree, I think it was just right.

Anyhow, both dresses were a huge step up from Diana dress when she got married in 1981. It was, well, interesting... 

(Please note: I do not own these images!)

The train was massive!

Just a quick comment, did anyone else notice that instead of saying "I do" they said "I will"? Is that unusual or is it just me?

So if he said "I Will", don't you think it was her turn to say "I, Kate"? 

That was a joke. A bad one. But someone had to say it.

Comment and let me know what you thought of the dress!

Blogging!

Hiya! Yup, you! The one with the incredible fashion sense (that your friends have somehow overlooked, even though you are sure that hot-pink and turquoise leopard-print underwear will catch on one day, the world just isn't ready yet, *sigh...*) sitting at your computer, looking ever so slightly bored? Well prepare to get excited.

Follow my blog for as-it-happens, 24/7 around the clock updates, as i snoop about for the latest scoop on trends, sniff out the fashion crimes, save the fashion victims, and set out on my quest to destroy, crush and terminate all Crocs footwear off the face of this earth... *shiver*  Okay, they aren't THAT bad, it's not as if they are made of plastic, come in every colour and have holes in them or anything! Oh, wait...

I will blog about fashion to DIY for, so you can Do It Yourself and not spend your well-earned cash on something you can easily make by yourself for a dollar, how you can help save the world by being eco-chic with eco-fashion and charity clothing (Wait, shopping AND saving the world? I'm in!) and of course, if you've been living under a rock, everything else in the whole fashion world that you may have tragically been deprived of (remember that time when your Great Aunt Helga came to stay and you actually missed the finale of Project Runway??), it's all right here!

Hope to see you soon!
