I love LolliSweets!!

LilliSweets is an amazing Etsy shop I descovered a fiew months ago, its sells DIY accessory supplies, DIY decoden packs, colorful cabochons, hand-crafted cell phone charms, and many other amazing things for amazing prices!!

 

A while ago I purchased a DIY deco den pack when I got my new phone, The package came exactly on time and the quality of the rhinestones and othere components is amazing! much better than the 99p garden centre ones I bought for my compact case. Well worth the money!!

 

Ill deffiately be going back next time I get a new phone or find something I want to bling!

Here are some items im in love with!

Tokyo Fashion

Tokyo Fashion is an online magazine about the street style and trends in Tokyo, Japan.

Ive been reading their articles for some time now, I really want to use some form of Japanese trend as my theme for next years fashion show and this website has really helped to inspire me.

Here are some of my favourite images and styles from Tokyo Fashion:

I really want her hair!!!

The Hime Gyaru trend is really starting to fade in Tokyo and lolita styles are much more popular, Ive also noticed bright colours and patterns becoming popular just like Korean styles.

Thanks for reading! What do you think of Japanese trends??

DIY : 3 layered bow

A while ago I was watching The Fashion Citizen and I saw Steph wearing this bow from h&m, I went and looked for but I couldn't find one so I decided to make one.

Here's Steph's blog : http://orangemilkpeel.com/

So here's an easy DIY:

You will need:

• Scissors
• less than 0.5m of fabric
• A needle and thread/fabric glue

 Step 1 - Cut out a rectangle of fabric double the size you want the smallest bow, Then cut out a rectangle 2 inches longer and wider and then cut out a rectangle 3inches bigger than the second.

Then go to my DIY Bows tutorial and follow Step 2 and 3 then come back.

Step 2 - Sew a long/wide running stitch down the middle and pull the fabric to gather it secure the thread, but don't cut it off

Step 3 - Use whats left of the thread to wrap around the centre to make the gathers even tighter It should look something like the image above ^^

Then repeat those steps with the other two pieces.

Step 4 - Place the smallest bow on top of the middle size bow and match up the centres, then stitch or glue them together. Then add on the biggest bow to the back of the middle bow.

Step 5 - Cut out another rectangle about A5 size and scrunch and twist this together.

Step 6 - Wrap this tightly around the centre and stitch or glue together as close to the last bow as possible, then cut off the extra.

Step 7 - Finally turn centre around/inside out to hide the raw edge. Then you can glue or attach any kind of clip you want and your done!!

You can also add rhinestones, buttons or any other kind of decoration you want. 

Here's the finished bow! (Yay for scruffy baby hair!!)

As you can see this is a really bulky bow but its great for cosplays, as hime gyaru accessories and cute days ^^

Thanks for reading!! I hope you try this out and tell me how it goes!! ;)
