DIY | Personalising My Denim Jacket

I've always wanted to do this! I bought all of the patches of Ebay and my mum sewed them on for me Thanks bae!) It was time consuming but it's turned out more than perfect I think.I was getting bored of my plain jacket and I don't even know where the idea came from but I just wanted to personalise it. Because I love music, I decided to just buy a load of band patches. So far I have a Korn, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Fear Factory, Slipknot, Pearl Jam and Marilyn Manson patch. I can just see myself doing this is almost all of my clothes, haha. Watch this space as I'll probably add alot more to this jacket!

Would you personalise your clothes with patches?

Disposable Teens | OOTD Post!

WHAT I'M WEARING: TOP, Ebay, SKIRT, River Island, CROCHET JACKET, New Look, BOOTS, Ebay.

I love this top as much as I love Marilyn Manson which is quite a lot! I love the back of the t-shirt too because of the way it has Marilyn's name on it. You can't beat a good band t-shirt and at the moment, they are all I've been buying. Ebay sell the best band merch but no doubt I'll be getting another Manson shirt when I see him in concert in November! I love this top though because it's so spooky, look at that eyeball of his. I love his lipstick too - it actually looks like my Cyber lipstick from MAC!

Boots, Boots, BOOTS. Look at them, They are just unreal and I am so in love with them. They are my dream boots because they are so goth. What do you think? I never want to take them off. I even wear them on the odd sunny day and my legs get so hot in them but you have to suffer for fashion, right?!

Do you love wearing band shirts?

Topshop Wishlist | Fringe

All items are from Topshop.

I still don't know if it's summer or not because we only get the odd day of sun, haha. It's really sunny today though and it inspired me to create another wishlist of dreamy clothes from Topshop. I just think Topshop is so amazing right now. There is a lot of fringing this summer and as you can see, I'm a fan. I think fringing adds so much to an outfit. The outfit that is on the wishlist today is one of my favourites! I just think the lace halterneck top is so beautiful and goes so well with the whole outfit. The star necklace is a really nice touch too. I'm loving the fringe purple backpack too as it's a nice bit of colour and who doesn't love cute little backpacks? I fell in love with these two pair of shoes! So cute and amazing and I think they'll look good with every outfit! I've actually got a skirt like the one above but you can never have too many skirts and look how cute the detail is!

Are any of these clothes on your Topshop wishlist this summer?

Don't Piss Me Off | Outfit of the Day

WHAT I'M WEARING: TOP vintage, SHORTS Missguided, SHOES New Look.

I had to do an outfit post on this top because I think it's so funny. My mum hates this top because she doesn't like me wearing swear words on my clothes but I love it! It says ''Don't piss me off. I'm running out of places to hide the bodies.'' Genius. I bought this from some shop that I don't know the name of. It's quite an alternative shop and there were a load of other t-shirts similar to this one. I bought this top and another one that said ''I am calm, now fuck off'' - my mum hates that top even more than she hates this one haha! Sorry if all this swearing offends you. 
These shorts are my fave pair at the moment! You can't see them all that much because I love wearing my tops in extra large and oversized. I used to feel dead uncomfortable wearing such short shorts but now I don't really care. I'm real shy but if I want to wear something, I will! My shoes are from New look and they are so lovely! I love wearing them when I'm not wearing my boots. They are quite chunky shoes - what's not to love? & of course, I'm wearing my fishnet tights because I just can't not wear them. 

Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

What's in my bag?

I bought this bag last week online in the sale from New Look after spotting it in the shop. The minute I saw it, I fell in love with it! It's so cute and I've always wanted a little backpack like this! I think this goes with almost all of my outfits too! The fact that this one is silver metallic is just so dreamy! Weird fact: I like to give my bags names and I've named this backpack spaceboy after one of my favourite Smashing Pumpkins songs ;)

So what exactly is in my bag? Let's find out...
I make sure that I always take my phone and my purse in my bag as they're essentials.This is one of my all time favourite purses and I got it a few years ago from River Island.
Next up, I have my Kindle and my Marilyn Monroe compact. I only bought the kindle last week as I'm such a book worm now! I can't believe I used to live life without a Kindle.
I always make sure I carry my lipsticks with me as I cannot live without lipstick. I always have a MAC lipstick with me. I don't usually wear lipgloss but I just bought this one today. Rimmel's lasting concealer is always in my bag. It's my favourite ever concealer and I recommend it to everyone!
The lastest addition to my bag is this Narciso Rodriquez perfume. This is my all time favourite perfume ever! I'm no good at describing perfumes so go give it a sniff! It stays on for hours and it just smells so beautiful!

What do you all have in your bags this summer?

Suede Lace Up Shorts

WHAT I'M WEARING - top, NEW LOOK, shorts, MISSGUIDED, Shoes & Choker, RIVER ISLAND.

Hello everyone! Both me and Leah have missed doing our blog so much. After a short break, we are both so happy to be posting again. Honestly, our lives felt empty without blogging! I thought I'd do a quick outfit post (in our blogging break, an excessive amount of clothes have been purchased). This outfit has got to be one of the coolest outfits I've ever worn. Look at those shorts! I think they were made for me, I love them so much! The detail on them is dreamy.

I absolutely love New Look at the moment. This top I'm wearing is just a classic black bardot top! It instantly makes me feel like I've got a good, fashionable outfit on if I'm wearing this top.

Here is to many more posts, I'm so happy to be back!
Love Rachel, x

Easy Braided Updo Hairstyle & OOTD!

 What I'm Wearing: CROP TOP, Primark | BLACK TOP, Forever 21 | SHORTS, River Island | BOOTS, River Island | CHOKER, Ebay | BEST BITCHES NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child.

Who would've thought that this beautiful crop was from Primark? The minute I saw it, I knew I needed it for my spring/summer wardrobe! It was only £6 too. The crop top is tye dye and it reminds me of my Urban Outfitters tie dye velvet dress, here. I usually always wear my hair down but I'm making the most of having no roots and trying out lots of beautiful styles. This is a dutch crown braid and I absolutely love it! This style makes me feel like I've just stepped out of Games Of Thrones, haha. I've never watched Games Of Thrones before but I absolutely love Daenerys Targaryen hairstyles!

Do you love tye dye? Do you also love wearing a crown braid?
Love Leah, x x x

Dreamy Topshop Outfit Wish List


Left to Right: Metallic Crop Top | Feather Heels | Cropped Lace Fringe Kimono | Necklace | Earrings | Fishnet Tights | Black Denim Skirt | Black Frilly Ankle Socks | Metallic Backpack.

It feels like I haven't done a wish list for agesss! I was on the Topshop website and managed to find my dream outfit. The weather in Liverpool is quite sunny which is a change (que rain for tomorrow ha) so I'm looking for new bits and pieces for my spring/summer wardrobe. I think fishnet tights are just perfect for warmer weather. I love wearing all of my fashion tights right now! I love pairing fishnets with boots but how cute are the feather heels?! I need these heels in my life. I think the have a clueless vibe to them. I also think the black denim skirt has a clueless feel to it too. I love denim, especially black denim so this skirt is a must-have for me. The metallic backpack is so cute and what I love about backpacks is that it feels like you're not carrying a bag, haha. The metallic crop top goes perfectly. One of my favourite pieces for spring/summer is kimonos! This short black kimono is just gorgeous. Lace + fringing = heaven.

The accessories just make this outfit. I'm obsessed with moons and anything mystic really so when I saw these earrings I just fell in love with them. I'm also obsessed with frilly black ankle socks. They're just the cutest things and the look gorgeous with boots. I needed to include the star necklace as I bought this necklace a few weeks back and I haven't stopped wearing it since! I know I wear a lot of black and as summer is getting nearer I do want to start wearing more colour but for now, I think I'll just stick to my trusty black clothes. Adding metallic is a start though right?

Have you thought of your spring/summer wardrobe yet? Are you dreaming after anything from Topshop at the moment?

OOTD & Wait & Braid | Galaxy Tie Dye Dress and 90s/Grungy Side Pony

What I'm Wearing: DRESS, Urban Outfitters | DENIM JACKET, ASOS | BEST BITCHES BEST FRIENDS NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child | LIPSTICK, MAC Diva.

Is anyone else obsessed with the 90's style? because I know I am! Recently, I have been trying out more hairstyles and I had to look for some inspiration. Youtube is always amazing for hair tutorials and I found some really gorgeous and unique 90's hair styles. Some of them are classic 90's (think little cute buns and half up-half down hairstyles) but other hair styles are a little more modern. This hairstyle that I'm wearing in this post is the perfect balance of mordern and 90's. It's an easy but impressive side pony! Because it's not just a side pony, I've done two little plaits in the pony tail. I think the braids really thicken the ponytail up and it looks so grungy and messy. This hair style that is definitely going to become a favourite. Look how cute it is too!

I think this dress is nineties too. It's velvet and tye dye. I'm wearing my all time favourite jacket too. Denim jackets are always a winner! I literally haven't been able to take this jacket off since buying it!

Do you love the 90's style?

Grunge Gal At Heart

What I'm Wearing: DRESS & SLIP, Missguided | BOOTS, River Island | COSMIC CHOKER, Shop Moon Child | BEST BITCHES BEST FRIENDS NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child | LIPSTICK, MAC Diva.

Introducing the newest addition to my Summer wardrobe, the cutest floral dress from Missguided! I think this is going to be one of my most worn items of clothing in Summer because it's so light and comfortable to wear. Another reason I really love this dress is because I can really style it up with fishnets, black boots and loads of necklaces. Little dresses like these are perfect for the grunge style. I used to be obsessed with grunge music! I used to listen to Hole - Courtney Love's band - and used to dream of owning all the babydoll dresses in the world. Complete with boots, red lipstick and messy hair of course! I'm not into listening to Hole anymore and more into Slipknot, Alice in Chains (my fave), Korn and all that stuff. However, a girl can't forget her roots can she? Oh, that's another thing I have perfected for this style; my roots are really long now and I hate them but I suppose I can embrace my dark hair roots for this grunge style! I can't wait to get my hair dyed soon though.

My two of my necklaces are from the AMAZING Shop Moon Child. We've already done a review on their shop, which you can read here (x) . Me and Rachel recently bought the Best Bitches best friend necklaces! Oh my God, amazing. Rachel obviously has the other necklace because we're the bestest of friends. You know friendship is real when you have Best Bitches necklaces.

Do you love the Grunge style?

Here's The Moon Asking To Stay | First Tattoo!

 Introducing my first ever tattoo, the cutest little smiling moon man on my left wrist. I had this done a couple of weeks ago but could only put a post up now as it's only just fully healed. I absolutely love it! Obviously, getting a tattoo is a daunting thing as it's going to be etched on your skin forever but I knew I needed some sort of moon tattooed on me. I've always been obsessed with the outer-space theme! My moon tattoo is better than I expected! I couldn't of asked for a cuter little face on my moon tattoo. I love the detail, the shading and the slightly bumpy lines so the moon looks vintage. I look at him whenever I feel alone or upset.
It didn't take long at all, probably around 30 minutes if that! and I didn't know what to expect when it came to the tattoo pain but I deal with needles and pain quite well, haha! I actually didn't find this painful at all, rather a hot scratch. Either way, I am SO pleased with my tattoo and I definitely want more already!

Have you got any tattoos?

Hello April

WHAT I'M WEARING: Blouse, Forever 21 | SKIRT, Boohoo | SHOES, River Island | CHOKER, River Island | BRACELET, Shop Moon Child.

I've kind of missed ootd posts on our blog. It's been so hard to take pictures as the weather is awful right now but I just love this outfit and had to do a post on it despite the rain. I'm wearing one of my favourite blouses from Forever 21. It's my favourite colour and so different to everything else that I own. It's nice to start wearing a bit more colour as the summer is coming up. I decided to treat myself to some boots and found these beauties in the River Island sale along with the thick black choker. These boots are honestly the best boots ever and look so perfect with all of my outfits. River Island do the best sales ever as my boots and the choker only cost £18, can you believe it?! 

I tried to take some pictures of my hair as it's purple right now. It's kind of washed out but I'm still loving putting bright colours through my hair. I'm also obsessed wearing my hair in 90's inspired styles so stay tuned for some posts on them!
