Valentines Evening
Black Crop Top - Toshop/Midi Skirt - Miss Guided/Shoes - Topshop/Jacket - H&M
When February comes along most couples either go out for dinner or have a cosy night in together. Mine and Als valentines day was a real last minute thing. I am a little sceptical when it comes to Valentines as its become huge commercial holiday as everything increases in price so it can become a very expensive night out. I believe you should show your love to your other half on a daily basis and not make it more apparent for one day although I will not deny valentine surprises are really nice.
Every year Al choses the restaurant and plans everything so this year it was left to me and its safe to say I left it a little late. We ended up going to the Italian Restaurant Prezzo. The food was really nice, I had Prawn Chilli Linguine and Al had Crab and Lobster Ravioli in a creamy sauce.
The prezzo we went to was a small restaurant so it was relatively quiet, enabling us to have a nice meal and just be with each other. After all thats what its all about.
I hope you had a lovely Valentines Day whether you went out, had a cosy night in with your other half or spent it with Friends and Family. The day is a bout love no matter who you chose to spend it with!
See you soon!

DIY Lace Heels
If your anything like me then you love shoes, my wardrobe is in the process of being transformed in order to fit more in! I can honestly admit I have a bit of an obsession! I can't really remember the first time I tried a pair of high heels but I bet it was funny. Strutting around in your mums heels! My other obsession is definitely being a crafty person, I like to transform anything I can into something that's my own, whether I'm creating something from scratch, transforming an item or adding a crafty touch.
My first YouTube video is a DIY video of transforming these nice classic heels. I bought these from eBay for a cheap £6. I have only worn them once as there slightly too big for me! They have just been sat in my closet for months so I took it upon my self to come up with ideas that would make them look unique but in season. I didn't want to replicate something I had seen, I just wanted to create something that would transform them and increase there value and appearance; but on a budget.
My priority was to try something that would challenge myself within DIY Fashion and look completely different to the original. As you can see in the above images I applied lace all over the shoes and added a black trim around the shoes. The trim makes them look very high quality, it's always the smallest details that matter.
To do this you will need
Shoes - eBay - £6
Lace - Craft Store - 0.5 Metres £2.25
Black Trim - I used black elastic as it had a very silky shine - Craft Store - 3 Metres £2.10
Soft material to line the inside on the shoes - Already Owned - You can use any type of material just make sure it's soft
Cuticle stick and some tweezers - Already Owned - You can purchase these from most drugstores if you don't own them.
All Purpose Glue or Fabric Glue - Crafts Store - £2.00
Black sharpie or permanent Marker - Already Owned - You can purchase these from most Craft or Homewear Stores if you don't own them.
TOTAL = £12.25
Please checkout this DIY video tutorial and a number of different DIY Projects on my YouTube Page.
If you like this DIY please let me know what you think to these shoes and whether you would buy these in a store or any thoughts you have on this DIY.
See you soon!
