This 90's grunge trend is a fab look for spring summer, it's very chilled a laid back. Looking effortless is in fashion. But we all know we will spend hours perfecting this trend. <br />

<br />
I absolutely love "Models own" nail polishes, and at the moment just in time for christmas they are offering an amazing deal, why not treat yourself to some pressies or treat your friends this Christmas. Models own nail polishes are quite pricey but not too much. Each nail varnish costs around £5.00 which isn't too bad. Also You don't mind paying out a little more if you know the products are good. They last for ages and you only need one coat. Amazing products and fabulous colours so hard to choose a few. They even have a new shattered nail polish range.<br />
<br />
****MODELS OWN OFFER****<br />
<br />
Buy 3 models own nail polish and receive £3.00 off costing you £12.00 for 3 (£4.00 each)<br />
Buy 5 models own nail polish and receive £7.00 off costing you £18.00 for 5 (£3.60 each)<br />
<br />
Also if you are a first time buyer on the models own website You receive a free black khol eyeliner worth £5.00 to do it this add the eyeliner to the basket and in the check out area write "kohlblackfree" in the voucher code box.<br />
<br />
Everything is free post and packaging so it really is an amazing deal. No other website are offering this deal and I have searched website for cheap deals and no other sites are offering the nail polishes any cheaper.<br />
<br />
To get this amazing deal go to <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/"></a><br />
<br />
Here are the many colours you can choose from :)<br />

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. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/f9dcbdfe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/f9dcbdfe.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery from google images</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/5f8a7892.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/5f8a7892.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery from featherslicous</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/314febba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/314febba.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery from photo bucket</i><br />

Celebs are catching onto the trend too.<br />
<br />
The feathers used for extensions are completely natural and can be washed, blow dried, curled and straightened. So they are completely effortless. <br />
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.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear your comments about this trend :) <br />

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 :) <br />

<b>All you need</b><br />
<b>-plain black t-shirt</b><br />
<b>-plain black jumper</b><br />
<b>-PVC fabric</b><br />
<b>-scissors</b><br />
<b>-pencil</b><br />
<b>-card</b><br />
<b>-fabric glue</b><br />
<br />
*sorry for the rubbish photo quality I used my blackberry to take pictures*<br />
<br />
<br />
Start off with your plain black t-shirt or black jumper or both.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00692.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00692.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00691.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00691.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/bfcbd892.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/bfcbd892.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Once you have drawn the skeleton onto the cardboard cut the image out and place onto your whie PVC fabric.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00660.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00660.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/IMG-20111016-00680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/IMG-20111016-00680.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00679.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Once you have transferred the image to the fabric, cut the pattern out non the fabric.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="600" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00681.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00662.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00662.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Once you have cut the whole pattern it should look like this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00663.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00663.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00693.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00693.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Use fabric glue to attach the fabric to your jumper or t-shirt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00671.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00671.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111015-00672.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00694.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/Torfaen-20111016-00694.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<b>And voila the products are made.</b><br />

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

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/b9913736.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/b9913736.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<b>All you need</b><br />
<b>-one plain t-shirt</b><br />
<b>-White fabric paint</b><br />
<b>-Scissors</b><br />
<b>-Masking Tape</b><br />
<b>-Sponge</b><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/af9a1467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/af9a1467.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Make sure the masking tape is securly on the t-shirt so you get a perfect shape.<br />
Use a sponge to add the paint to the t-shirt. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/799bad5d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/799bad5d.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/eefbb67e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/eefbb67e.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/35dd0ac5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/35dd0ac5.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
This will be your finished result :) next step the fringing :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/133f4648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/133f4648.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Add masking tape to the bottom of the t-shirt you can choose how high or low you want the fringing. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/c617aad3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/c617aad3.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<br />
Cut small pieces to get a fringed effect. Cut up towards the masking tape.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/87695259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/87695259.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/65b5546d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/65b5546d.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<b>All you need</b><br />
- plain White t-shirt<br />
- Navy fabric paint<br />
- scissors <br />
- Masking tape <br />
<br />
I bought a cheap t-shirt for about £2.00, I bought it a little baggier than my actual size.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/c311cc36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/c311cc36.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
I than placed a tank top I liked the shape of an placed it ontop of the White t-shirt. If you don't have a tank top as a template you can draw a line on the t-shirt in pencil and customise your own shape.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/8a59e1f6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/8a59e1f6.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
I cut along the side of the tank top to get the shape I wanted for my White t-shirt. Do this on both sidesband you will have your desired shape.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/c4619d57.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/c4619d57.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/4c9c16bc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/4c9c16bc.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
When you have cut the sleeves off, draw an oval shape at the bottom of the t-shirt only at the front. So the t-shirt has two layers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/ee759bff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/ee759bff.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
When you have cut the t-shirt to your desired shape. Place the t-shirt over a piece of wood. So you have a hard service to work on. Also this stops the paint from imprinting to the other side of the t-shirt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/a690c275.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/a690c275.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Place masking tape onto the t-shirt to make a stripe shape. Make sure the masking tape in securely on the t-shirt so you get a perfect stripe.<br />
Use a sponge to apply the fabric paint a spread the paint across the t-shirt. And let it dry for a couple of minutes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/bd3d5bae.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/bd3d5bae.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Repeat the step a couple of times to get a fully striped t-shirt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/83535b10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="600" width="500" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/83535b10.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

Let the t-shirt dry fully for a couple of hours before wearing it.<br />
And voila the t-shirt is finished.<br />
<br />
Voila<br />

So I thought I'd recreate this AW Trend.<br />
<br />

<b>All you need</b><br />
I'm using this collection 2000 black nail polish which you can get from boots for about £1.99<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/bdab0831.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/bdab0831.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
This is a White nail polish by natural collection which you can buy from boots for around £1.99<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/456af733.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/456af733.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
if you have an old eyeliner you can use this as a thin brush to do the Dalmatian dots on your nails. Or a really thin painting brush will do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/37a85cbb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/37a85cbb.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Paint all of your nails White. I used 3 layers to make the nails look perfect. Let them dry for about 1-3 minutes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/fea37ab5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/fea37ab5.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Use the eyeliner brush to apply the black spots onto the White nails. Make sure you clean the eyeliner brush before using it to do your nails. Dip the brush into the black nail polish and apply dots to your nails be as creative as you want.<br />

Add a clear top coat to your nails after they are dry and this will make your nail polish last longer.<br />

To add more affect to the dalmatian trend the hair and small looked so cute. The dalmatian print is going to be big this autumn winter, but don't go too over board like Cruella. :) <br />

The hair was inspired by Cheryl Cole, when she had a similar style during last years X Factor.<br />

<br />
Another trend that everyone loved at new York fashion week was the dalmation print nail design. Every model had this on the topshop unique catwalk show. And numerous members of the audience had the print on their nails. At first the thought of dalmation print on my nails looks a bit childish. But when I saw the print on the nails I absolutey loved it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/53c10fe9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/53c10fe9.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery courtesy of topshop unique</i><br />

Check out topshop's website to see the full collection.and behind the scenes images from the show. I love the pattern so much I'm going to try the pattern on my nails and make a tutorial how to get the AW11 trend. <br />

This design was really easy to do you don't have to be an artist to design a top like this. It's just basic colouring in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/3a7c236d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="500" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/3a7c236d.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<font size="3">All you need to make this top</font><br />
<font size="3">-1 White plain baggy top</font><br />
<font size="3">-4 different colours of fabric paint</font><br />
<font size="3">-2 paint brushes 1 thin and 1 thick brush</font><br />
<font size="3">-cardboard</font><br />
<font size="3">-a soft pencil</font><br />
<font size="3">-ruler</font><br />
<br />
I place the t-shirt over the cardboard, this is so the fabric paint doesn't print on the otherwise. And to have a flat base so it is easier to draw and paint onto the t-shirt.<br />
At first I tried loads of different designs on a piece of paper and when I was happy with my final design. I drew the design onto the t-shirt with a soft pencil as it's easier to draw on the fabric. And a ruler to get perfect lines.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/399ee361.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="500" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/399ee361.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
When painting the dots on the t-shirt I didn't draw dots with a pencil I just drew a line and free drew the dots. If you have a really steady hand it's so easy to do. I used a black colour for the dots.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/40385bec.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="500" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/40385bec.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<br />
I started to paint the triangle shapes. I found it easier to draw the outline of the triangle with a paint and then colour the middle in. I used a red on the first triangle but you can use any colour you want.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/eb001066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="500" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/eb001066.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<br />
I then used a navy blue to colour in the line of triangles.and I used a silver paint to colour in the other triangle. I wasn't to sure about the metallic paint but it works really well with the navy. But shin it's up to you which colours you want to use.<br />

To finish off the t-shirt I free hand drew mini lines in a row. The lines do nit have to be perfect. This makes the t-shirt a little better. I used a red paint to finish it off but it's up to you which colour you want to use. I then added more dots the t-shirt. <br />

So I thought I would attempt to DIY. It was so easy to make and very cheap. You don't need to be an artist to make a t-shirt like this.<br />
<br />
<b>Here is my attempt at the DIY print trend on a t-shirt</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/ee4ad5c9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/ee4ad5c9.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<br />
<br />
I put the t-shirt on a piece of card board so it's easier to paint on.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/91431fee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/91431fee.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
I added a little bit of paint of each colour to a sponge and pressed it all over the t-shirt to add a galaxy effect. This is so simple and easy to do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/d9d48dbc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/d9d48dbc.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/e6e2d97b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/e6e2d97b.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
I added blue fabric paint to the t-shirt, to add a better effect. Next step I used bleach, wear gloves when handling the bleach as it will burn the skin. Carefully add bleach to the sponge and dabb it generously over the t-shirt and you quickly see the effect of the bleach as it lightens the t-shirt to a orangey colour. Now use your paintbrush to splatter the white fabric paint over the t-shirt to add the finishing touches to your t-shirt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/78f09bda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/78f09bda.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<b>Voila and the t-shirt is done :)</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/ee4ad5c9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/ee4ad5c9.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

Inspired by the galaxy the colours mixed together look amazing. The print works well on t-shirts, leggings, shoes and accessories.<br />
<br />
Added with a plain black skirt and pumps make this trend look fashion casual. A great outfit to wear in the day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/7ffae882.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/7ffae882.jpg" /></a></div><i>Image courtesy of "style scrapbook by andy"</i><br />
<br />
This image from lookbook.nu is a great way to show off the trend. Adding the print with a plain top. Doesn't make the outfit too garish. I love these leggings the colours really do stand out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/e3ca09a6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/e3ca09a6.jpg" /></a></div><i>image courtesy of lookbook.nu</i><br />

I have not seen this trend emerge into retail stores yet. So I'm going to do a bit of research and see how I can make this look with a bit of arts and crafts and i will blog the step by step instructions. So you can be bang on trend, at a little price.</center>Floralpolkadothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07825710196429519083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051098526077287074.post-85587498344524827362011-09-11T08:03:00.000-07:002011-09-16T12:04:35.050-07:00Aztec nails<center>Scouted at lollapalooza festival by vogue, I love this aztec look.the colours are amazing together. Very festival inspired.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/991f46f7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/991f46f7.jpg" /></a></div><i>Image courtesy of vogue</i><br />
I loved the tribal inspired nail art so much I thought I would try the design myself. This design was so cheap to do.<br />
<br />
<em><b>How to get the Aztec look</b></EM><br />
<br />
I used a base coat on the nail first, so the bright colours doesn't stain the nail. I'm using "the edge base coat" which I bought at a beauty wholesale but any base coat will do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/6c233efc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/6c233efc.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
I chose these three colours, all available to purchase from boots at around £2.00 each. This pale colours work really well together. Apply the different colours to your nails.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/184dc928.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/184dc928.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by Floral polkadot</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Apply the colour to the nail use two or three coats to get a matte look.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/2015da4d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/2015da4d.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by floral polkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/9d8cd9da.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/9d8cd9da.jpg" /></a></div><i>imagery by floral polkadot</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/16082fcd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/16082fcd.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
When the nail polish is dry, now it's time to add the tribal lines. I used these nail art pens which are available from "body care" which cost £1.99 for a pack of three and are available in lots od different colours. For my nails I'm going to use the purple and White nail art pen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/aa940fb1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/aa940fb1.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
If you have a steady hand drawing the tribal lines onto the nail is pretty easy, but if you take your time. You can get the look. I drew three diagonal lines from the corner of the nail.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/b537af1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/b537af1d.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/548b5a0d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/548b5a0d.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />
<br />
Then add three horizontal lines in the middle of the line connecting them to the other lines.<br />
You can try your own designs. I fouund it easier to draw different designs on paper to practice.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/b23fe7ad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc375/floralpolkadot/b23fe7ad.jpg" /></a></div><i>Imagery by Floralpolkadot</i><br />

<br />
If you want your aztec nails to last longer why not try "Sally Hensons diamond finish" it costs around £6.00 but it's a great way to finsh off your nails. It has a lovely gloss finish and it's a tough top coat so your nail colour will last longer.<br />

<i>Wikipedia reference</I><br />
"The finger moustache tattoo, otherwise known as the "fingerstache", is a tattoo of a stylized moustache on the index finger. The finger is then placed between the nose and the lips, simulating a moustache. Its particular origin is unknown, however, the recent revival dates to the summer of 2003 in Columbus, Ohio, where a local tattoo artist began tattooing mustaches as a joke"<br />
<br />
The latest craze of finger moustache has become very popular, not only men can grow a moustache :)<br />
