Plaid Wool "Blanket" For Late Autumn Days

          As the summer slowly turned into autumn, the laughs into sighs, the nature started to fade, I personally started thinking about the perfect autumn outfit. And, tell me, dear readers! What's a cold-day-outfit without a muffler? How would you feel without something taking care of your fragile neck on a cold, bleak day? Well, frozen, that's how you'd feel. 
         But wait, how would the perfect scarf for autumn look? Bright colours? Nah, I'll go for the darker ones. Black? Something lighter, though. Brown could be nice, but how about grey? Too gloomy. I just couldn't find the proper colours for such an important accessory, so I started treating this subject with more preoccupation:   Hunter green would be nice, but also the fire red combined with a navy blue would match marvellous aaand we shouldn't forget about the black and white, which complete each other perfectly. All these colours combined, together with a bit of effort put into finding it, brought this beauty into my hands. 

     If you thought I would start talking in this post about a blanket, well...you were wrong. I just love to give this scarf more attributions. I like to use it as it is, but I also love to have it wrapped around me like a blanket. 

    This is my lovely plaid wool muffle, which i bough from New Look and I matched it with some pretty thin clothes, because the weather allowed me to. 

         A white shirt, with a pair of dark blue ripped&teared jeans, a pair of black boots, together with a black leather jacket are the essentials of this outfit. I suited these with some funky accessories. 

        After finishing with finding the right clothes, we started the photo-shoot. If the photos below can't express enough feelings, the video for sure will. Find out more about what happened during the session by clicking this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrbeBkOSkZ0&feature=youtu.be

DIY Room Decor: Nail String Art

DIY Room Decor: Nail String Art 

      I was really busy this weekend, haha! No, I didn't do my homework. At all. Whoops. My best friend was redecorating her room and she really wanted to create a diy painting/decoration. I mean...who wouldn't love to have such a wonderful work of art hanging on their wall for the next few years? I bet you all would! Check out my video for some tricks before starting: http://youtu.be/8yr88J2IYiM 

       Thinking that you'll get into the idea of me making DIY posts, I decided to start with this tutorial. There's going to be also a step-by-step video a bit later. 

There's no time to waste, let's get started! 

    

  It' easy! All you need is: 

• a piece of wooden board
• a couple of strings (you're choosing the style, so let your imagination spread and find the right colours for your creation)
• nails 
• a hammer 
• white spray 
• a pencil and a ruler 

Step 1: Draw

    As your ideas invade your mind, let your hand go with the flow. Be inventive! Try something new, do whatever you want to! It's your idea, your style, your signature! My girl, well, she wanted something to remind her of dreaming. She always kept telling me that this work of art will remind her of the quote "If you can dream it, you can do it." So this is what we chose, the word dreaming. But you can choose any other word or shape.
    Start by having a model of the shape you want to draw in front of your eyes. It's not necessarily, but I'm not good at drawing, so I really had to look at a model while trying to show off my draw skills.
    Slowly, start to draw the margins of the word, don't hurry. You've got time! 

This is Jazz! She was or little help, our secret ingredient for
making things easier

2. Start Outlining Your Word

      It's your turn to see what it feels like to work like a carpenter, hahaha! Simply start by inserting the nails in the board with your hammer. They should push in fairly easily with a little pressure (except when you hit a knot in the wooden board...Try to avoid them as much as you can, I'm telling you this from my own experience! If a nail in pushed into a knot, it won't remain inside for too long. When the situation will begin to turn pink (4. Step), your nails will fall and you'll get soooo damn angry, that you won't be able to continue. This is your warning, guys! Avoid the dark knots in the wood!)

3. Paint your Board

      Start spreading your spray all over the board from about 25 cm distance. 

4. String your Canvas 

 Now the fun part: stringing.

     Start doing roundabouts around the nails again and again. Reminder: be patient and don't rush!

P.S. We had a pretty thin strings and we had to do too many roundabouts around the nails, so we decided to make our work two times easier, in which we doubled the strings (we put two strings next to each other and started doing roundabouts with both, acting like we have a single string). This will help you, if your strings are also thin.

You can start with doing a knot on a nail, so that you'll
make sure that you strings will remain intact

AAAAAAND THIS IS THE RESULT
What do you think about it? The time I wasted on this work of art wasn't wasted, right?

     Don't hesitate doing this at home, it isn't dangerous, even if you're working with a hammer and nails, it's cheap and you'll be very satisfied of what you did all by yourself. 
     I hope you enjoyed this post and I guess we'll keep in touch on Instagram.

100 things to be happy about

       Lately, I've been through a pretty tough time and I started reading more about how-to-cheer-yourself-up. One of the things I found on the internet based on this topic was "Take your time to remind yourself who you really are". So I stopped for a sec and thought "Who am I, really?" And I had no clue what the answer should sound like. Starting that moment, I began to look through my old, dusty books and I found this little wonder, which I have bought it about a year ago, but didn't finish it. So I opened it and a bright smile infested my face. 

   This is the only thing that could bring a smile on my face in the most critical moments, so I thought I'd share a couple of the "things" with you, so that I'll make you happy too (hopefully).

     Well, this was it for today. I hope this list brought you a tiny smile on your pretty face :)

Until next time, live your life at your fullest, fellows! xx
