Pretty In Pastel - Missguided Wishlist

It's raining. It's windy. It's freezing. I'm sitting here in bed thinking about what I want to do my next blog post on and it hit me. I want to do something to brighten up this dull day, so why not do something I have always wanted to do, a Missguided wish list! But to make it better, I want to do one that only contains pastel colours, just to add a bit of colour to such a horrible day. 

Missguided has the most amazing clothes. All the fashion bloggers out there are constantly buying things from Missguided and posting them on their blogs. They have clothes on their site to suit nearly every kind of fashionista, which is what I think makes it so successful. Their unique designs and beautiful colours are always bang on trend and they always have something you're looking for, maybe just that one piece of clothing that your wardrobe is lacking. You can always rely on Missguided. 

So here I have found a few things on the website that are pastel in colour. All of these items are currently in fashion, I see friends on Facebook wearing things similar and all of the colours are gorgeous and bright. I have also seen some of my favourite fashion bloggers like 'Luisalion', 'Swaglen' and 'FashiionCarpet' wearing pastel clothes from Missguided. So how could I possibly not do a Missguided pastel wish list? Only if I had the money to buy the clothes on the wish list! So anyways, here it is.

Festival Fashion Combos!

Hello! So yesterday I went to see Arctic Monkeys in Marlay Park in Dublin and they were amaaazinggg!! Special guests were Royal Blood, Miles Kane and Jake Bugg! The whole day was amazing, and surprisingly, I enjoyed the little showers throughout the day because it was just so hot!

But anyways! The day before, I wanted to see what I was going to wear so while I was deciding, I decided to take a few pics and make up some festival fashion combos! I didn't really do accessories because there were so many outfits, but these are the outfits that I liked the most! I have my DIY tops in there somewhere and if there is anything you want to know where I bought it, don't be afraid to ask! Also want to apologise as I am not the most photogenic and my bedroom isn't exactly a great background but I tried my best! 

Next week I am going to Longitude music festival so I will post next week what I wore to that and what I decided to wear to Arctic Monkeys! 

OH forgot to mention I was already tanned but I put a light layer of COCOA BROWN TANNING MOUSSE on!! I love this tan and I think it is so perfect for the summer months!

Hope you're all enjoying the festival season and I hope to be back soon with more posts! 

Thanks!

DIY Crop Tops!!!

So I found some old swimming costumes of my little sisters that were way too small for any of us to fit in, so I decided to do some DIY. Its summer, I have a lot of free time so why not? These crop tops are super cute! They're a perfect idea for going on holidays or just for chilling at home during the summer months.  Swimming costumes are good to use as they are designed to cling to your skin and you don't need to stitch up at the bottom of the top. 

I am really not good at doing step by step details of things, I always feel like I ramble on and make no sense, so I will do my best to help. 

Step 1: Measure the swimming costume up against you, and in one side of the costume, cut a small hole at the height you want your crop top to be. Measure with a ruler or something with a straight edge, where the opposite side would match up to and cut a small hole in the other side.

Step 2: Cut across from one hole to the other. Do this on the front and back of the costume. Make sure to stretch the material so that it is a straight line with no rugged edges.

Step 3: Trim off any jagged edges. And voila, you are ready to go!

You can now wear this as a crop top for going out or just a casual top with high waisted jeans or something! Or you could also use the bottoms and make a 2 piece swimming costume! It is up to you what you decide to do with it! Get creative! 

 

Got an old t-shirt of your Dads? Brothers? Boyfriends? They're going to throw it out? STOP THEM NOW! You can reuse it and make a cool crop top! 

Step 1: Mark off where you want to crop top to end and make your cut off marks an inch or so below that.

Step 2: Repeat the steps from the first crop tops. 

Step 3:  Cut a line, about an inch in length, in the middle on the front, just above the line you have just cut. This is to be used to tie the other sides across. 

Step 4: Take 2 bits of material from either side of the shirt, and tie a not through the hole you have just cut down the middle of the top. And there you go, a cute crop top! PS. excuse lines on my belly, I was sitting over for ages cutting the tops lol. But who cares? ;) 

Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed this post! If you recreate these looks, put a photo on instagram and tag me in it! Username, xxxlmgigglesxxx , surprise surprise!!
