DIY: Fluffy and Lace Socks

I've had so many faux fur and lace bits lying around leftover from college, so I decided to make some pretty things out of them! This is great if you have any spare material lying around and socks you don't wear. You can make a cute pair of socks in no time, without leaving the house!

Here's how to make them (It's SO easy)

 ♡ Get your faux fur/lace and a pair of plain socks. Measure the faux fur or lace around your socks and cut the amount you need.

♡ Stick it down and leave the socks to dry for however long it says on the fabric glue.

And your done! Here are my finished socks:

If you try this, send pictures, I'd love to see them! Have you tried any DIY projects lately?

My flower crown collection

I started collecting flower crowns two years ago and now I'm pretty much addicted. I think they give an outfit such a pretty, feminine touch. Since it's summer I've been wearing them out quite a lot recntly, so I thought I would show you some of my favourites!

 ♡ Ark sunflower crown (bought july 2015)

I picked this one up very recently in the sales in Ark for only £1! I love the colour yellow and really don't have enough of it in my wardrobe, so this just adds a little pop of yellow to my wardrobe. I also love sunflowers and they are perfect for the summertime!

♡ Topshop colourful flower crown (bought april 2014)

This one was my absolute favourite last summer. I was really drawn to it because it is so colourful! I also like it because it helps keep my hair out of my face. Perfect for humid and sweaty summer days!

♡ H&M red, orange and brown flower crown (bought december 2014)

I got this one to keep my flower crown obsession going in the colder months. The darker colours make it more appropriate for winter. I even wore it around christmas time!

 

♡ Primark blue and white flower crown (bought april 2014)

This is probably my favourite flower crown to go on holiday with, because the blue flowers remind me of the pool and the ocean. 

♡ New Look pink flower head chain

This is not a flower crown as such, but I liked it because it is a little bit different to every other headband I own. The flowers are so tiny and delicate. I think this would look gorgeous in the evening on holiday.

♡ Primark tiny white flower crown (recieved march 2015)

My grandparents got me this headband for my birthday- they know me so well! I love how tiny the flowers are and how there is a subtle hint of pink in them.

Do you like flower crowns? If so, what are your favourites?

Summer looks // the £3 charity shop dress

Charity shops are such cool places. You can find some amazing clothes for only a couple of pounds! However it does take A LOT of looking through racks to find something. Just be patient and search thoroughly. It's so worth it!

 

 The dress is actaully a couple of sizes too big, which doesn't really matter because it has a cool 'oversized' look.

I love the mixture of the purple, pink, orange and yellow colours on the dress.

I accesorized the dress with some american flag converse, making the outfit casual and suitable for daytime. It can be worn for evening occasions as well.

Do you shop in charity shops? If you do, what are some of the best bargains you've ever got?

Summer music playlist 2015

This is what I've been listening to throughout the summer!

♡ Automatic // Don Broco

Such a happy, summery song. Wherever in the world you are, it will transport you to a pool on a hot day. I'm really excited for Don Broco's new album to come out in a few days! I also recommend the songs What You Do To Me and You Wanna Know.

♡ Just For A Minute // San Cisco

In my summer playlist last year, I talked about the song Beach by San Cisco. Now they've released a new album and I'm certainly not disappointed! I'm more in love with their music than ever before. 

♡  Young Blood // Saint Raymond 

I saw Saint Raymond live supporting Ed Sheeran last october and immediately became a fan. This is such a fan indie pop jam, great for parties. And now I really want to see him live again!

♡ Your Love's Whore // Wolf Alice

Ellie Rowsell's vocals on this song are so beautiful and dreamy. Perfect for listening on long plane rides and long car journeys.

♡ Free // Cody Simpson

If you like acoustic, beachy music with a little bit of reggae, you'll love Cody Simpson's new album. So different from anything else he has done before, this album shows how much of a talented guitarist he is.

♡ Grand Affection // Swim Deep

Swim Deep's first album, Where The Heaven Are We, became my obsession two years ago. I'm really excited by their new music. Grand Affection is a lovely, atmospheric song.

What did you think of these songs? What are you listening to at the moment?
