Weekly want #18

Elephant print shirt - ASOS £35
I've been lusting after this for agesssss it's so cute and this is really over priced for what it is but I still feel like I need it in my wardrobe. Now, I've just done a sneaky Romwe order, never ordered from them before so hopefully I'll be pleased with yet another dress to add to my collection! I'm just replacing all the ones I've ebayed, oops!

It's payday soon and I have a wishlist as long as my arm, but I'd better restrain myself :(

Because that's what you and I do, protect each other



L-R Electrify, Luxe and Lush, Stone Cold

As soon as I saw this set on Buyapowa I knew I had to get it (little bit hunger games obsessed to be honest!) and I'm so happy with it! The only thing that disappointed me was the packaging, I haven't posted a picture as it was so bland, I expected something Hunger Games themed but unfortunately no.

Electrify is a gold and red flecked glitter which you could imagine Katniss wearing after being primped by her team, this is probably the least favourite of the three but that's only because I own so many glitters and know how much of a pain they are to take off, so I'll be keeping this for occasions and for nail art only!

Now Luxe and Lush is the star of this collection, the iridescent flecks look great worn alone or layered with another colour, it's such a pretty glitter and not as in your face as most glitters

I was a little apprehensive about Stone Cold, in the bottle it looked like a couple of other polishes that I own but, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it out as it dried to a lovely matte grey which, as the name suggested, looks like stone. I can't wait to wear this and most of all to see how well it wears.

What do you guys think of these and have you tried china glaze before? I've never tried them before as they're a little out of my price range but if they appear on buyapowa again I might treat myself again.

Lately I've been craving more



I've been meaning to get to a charity shop for a while now in search of shirts but I've been having a little clear out at the moment and managed to find a shirt in amongst everything. And here's what I did to it, I thought I'd better try out this DIY on a shirt I was chucking away anyway and it's turned out quite well!

All you need to do is cut the collar off your shirt, trim the edges neatly if needs be and then stud it. These studs are screw back so you just need to cut a little slit to push them through and then tighten the screws with a screwdriver. 

This is a really simple DIY and there as so many ways that you can customise them, next I want to try and make a scallop trim collar or maybe a lace one? What do you guys think?
