Happy February guys! Where the eff has Jan gone? Like it came and went quicker than I could write 2017. But I'm going off topic. Okay. So before we get started with this DIY, I want us all to take a minute to truly appreciate the loafers from Gucci. I love the look of them, they are so nice, I die. But that £600 price tag, and the idea of using kangaroo fur on the insoles was a big no no for me. I don't want to get all PETA on my blog but I wanted an option that was vegan friendly but still bomb as hell! So I looked around online and saw many dupes, like lots. The high street takes little time to bring out affordable dupes of high end products. But I also hate walking around and seeing a million other people wearing the same thing as me :( So that is why i like to DIY everything myself. A bit of creative individuality. This project took me less than 20 minutes. And it was so easy - your cat could do it! Okay maybe not, but maybe a toddler?
Okay so lets gets started. 
  The supplies here are super easy to get a hold of. You will need: Loafers (I got mine from Primark-£6)  Any colour fur, I chose black. Any Purpose Glue - E6000 but I used Bostik All Purpose and it worked fab! 

Trace a template of your shoe on some paper and cutout. Use this to cut out two pieces of fur. 

Next all you have to do is stick these onto the shoe and you are done!

 I used some fur to add to the top of my loafers too because I am extra AF! But i loved how they turned out! Now all that is left is to wear them out and be the envy of all your most fashionable friends :)

I used the cork as a guide to cut my clay. When the clay dried I added the cork circles to the bottom with some E6000 glue to stop them from cracking/scratching if I stacked them. Paint the edges with copper to give the illusion of a metal outer coating. This makes them look super expensive! And then voila you are done! Now all you need is your friends over for some tea so they can gush over how nice your coasters are! 

Hi all! Hope you enjoy my latest video! It's a new take on what I do usually.  Until next time xo 

Glam Make-up for Brown Eyes 

Being a child of the 90's I'm totally obsessed with anything to do with grunge ATM. Grunge was all the rage back then. I watched my sisters living their teens out in the 90's enviously eyeing their dark mauve and brown lipliner choices. If only there was an ice age over the 90's! I actually can't think of a time where brown lips were not my saviour in times of makeup woes. And with everyone jumping on the brown lip-wagon (yes i made that up) there are brown choices for all kinds of budgets. The four below are my tried and trusted faves! And i don't know where I would be without them! Comment if you've tried any of these beauties and what you think! 
1. MAC - Double Shot (£15.50) 2. NYX - Maison and Butter (£7 on ebay) 3. LIME CRIME - Salem (£13) 4. TOPSHOP - Boardroom (£8)
Now I know I run away on a tangent, but this post is actually about make-up for brown eyes, not brown lips. When I watch tutorials and see beautiful looks on Youtube, majority of the looks are always done by green or blue-eyed beauties. and where genetics threw me in the dark end of the colour spectrum (Thanks Mum Dad) I often feel that the looks are nice but don't make my brown eyes pop! So if you are #BrownEyeGang and in a stump like me then this ones for you. Purple, being my favourite colour is amazing for brown eyes as is any cranberry and taupe colours. So after a night of finding nothing exciting on telly I decided to pull out my make-up and try something new. Here's what I came up with and I even filmed it! Video will be up soon enough on my channel (shameless plugging galore) but for now here's some snaps to keep you happy! Let me know what you think about this look! Would you try it?







Until next time! xo
