Autumn winter trend : Feather hair extensions

I love, love this autumn trend. It was also quite popular last summer. The trend seemed to be a lot more popular in the USA. This feather extension trend would have been a great thing for summer festivals. Using autumn colours I think this trend will really be big this winter.

I love the way the feathers blend so well with the hair. This is a great hair accessory for this autumn winter. This trend will look fab with those faux fur winter coats.

They come in all sorts of different colours to match your hair. You can go for a natural look or if you want to be s little wild why not try the more vibrant colours.

Celebs are catching onto the trend too.

The feathers used for extensions are completely natural and can be washed, blow dried, curled and straightened. So they are completely effortless.
They are very easy to apply with micro beads. The bead and feather is applied to the hair by clamping the bead a feather to your hair. The feather extension will not ruin your hair and can be easily removed if you don't fancy wearing them.

I would love to hear your comments about this trend :)

Lady gaga glams up like Audrey Hepburn

As much as I love Lady Gaga's outrageous fashion, she look absolutely amazing in the modern day Audrey Hepburn look. Very elegant. Breakfast at tiffanys is one of my favourite films. And I love how lady gaga can pull off any style. And perhaps she will start a new Audrey Hepburn trend.

DIY skeleton t-shirt and jumper

Whilst looking at the wild fox website I saw the skeleton jumper, and loved it also with it being close to Halloween I thought I would make the t-shirt and jumper myself. As the wild fox jumper is £140 I couldn't afford to buy it. You can still wear the t-shirt and jumper after Halloween. The t-shirt looks great with a leather jacket and leggings or jeggings. This DIY is so easy to do and doesn't take long at all :)

All you need
-plain black t-shirt

*sorry for the rubbish photo quality I used my blackberry to take pictures*


Start off with your plain black t-shirt or black jumper or both.

Use the Skeleton stencil to copy.I placed my card under the printed stencil and pressed hard whilst tracing the image so it indented through so you have an outline on the cardboard.

Once you have drawn the skeleton onto the cardboard cut the image out and place onto your whie PVC fabric.

Once the stencil is placed on the PVC fabric ( n the non PVC side) Draw around the stencil to have the image transferred onto the fabric.

Once you have transferred the image to the fabric, cut the pattern out non the fabric.

Once you have cut the whole pattern it should look like this.

Try the jumper or t-shirt on and place the skeleton on your top to see where to place the fabric. With a pin place the pin where you would like to place the fabric.

Use fabric glue to attach the fabric to your jumper or t-shirt.

Place the fabric onto top where you have place the pin. Nice you have stuck the fabric to the jumper or t-shirt, remove the pin and let the glue try. Make sure you have a piece if cardboard or wood in-between then t-shirt or jumper. So the glue doesn't go through to the otherside of the t- shirt or jumper.

And voila the products are made.

If you want to add the bones on the sleeves just cut out 4 small bones and do the same.

I would love to hear your comment :)

DIY : Aztec t-shirt part two

I absolutely love Aztec prints at the moment :) I have already made one Aztec t-shirt so I thought I'd attempt another Aztec t-shirt :)

Imagery by Floralpolkadot

All you need
-one plain t-shirt
-White fabric paint
-Scissors
-Masking Tape
-Sponge

Place the t-shirt over a piece of wood or cardboard. This is so you have a flat surface to work on. Also this will stop the paint from imprinting on the other side if the t-shirt. Now add your masking tape to the t-shirt. To make these shapes.
imagery by Floralpolkadot

Make sure the masking tape is securly on the t-shirt so you get a perfect shape.
Use a sponge to add the paint to the t-shirt.

When it is all covered. Dry for about 10 minutes and reapply the paint to get a thicker colour. Once you have done that let it dry for about 20-30 minutes so it's completely dry.

This will be your finished result :) next step the fringing :)
imagery by Floralpolkadot

Add masking tape to the bottom of the t-shirt you can choose how high or low you want the fringing.

Cut small pieces to get a fringed effect. Cut up towards the masking tape.

Once you have cut the fringing into the t-shirt. Tie a knot in each one. This is so the fringing doesn't rip any more.
