What's in my bag...

I, like many fashion-and-anything-cute-boot-or-otherwise-obsessed girls, am a bit nosy and take great pleasure finding other 'What's in my bag?' type posts. Soooo, I thought I might as well pour out the contents of my Mary Poppins-esque collection of never-ending junk (bar the trillions of crumbs and dishevelled wrappers) and share it with the world.

I always have too much clutter in my bag but at least I never get caught out in an emergency! What's the weirdest thing you carry in your bag?

Busy Bee!

I hope everyone had a good Easter break and that you're not all sick from eating too much chocolate! I got way more eggs than it would be wise to expect as a 19-year-old and consequently have been feeling very well done to. On Easter I went hiking and shot with my good friend and Make-up Artist Natalie Porter for a modern-day mermaid style shoot around a gorgeous place called Malham which has beautiful waterfalls and too many hills (I assure you my legs have been suffering because of that). On Tuesday I was meant to be going to the place of dreams that is Alton Towers but someone crashed into the back of the car so we ended up stranded in the nearby town of Uttoxeter, which is by no means the worst place to be stuck so I'm spending my holidays with whiplash and many many chocolate eggs. Bye bye diet!

Anyway, my 'To Do' list has been piling up and today has been spent productively - I.e. Tidying through my clothes and attending to my well over-due peroxide roots.

My efforts to de-winter and de-clutter my wardrobe in preparation for my new Rodarte pieces has paid off and below you may witness how satisfying it is to sort through your wardrobe - job well done, I know. It's fun to be nosy...

I have a bubble-bath with my name on it and a nice cup of green tea to match. Until next time,

D.I.Y Headdress

If you're feeling a bit crafty this Easter get collecting all things bejewelled and glitzy and put your creative head on. I understand these headbands might not be to everyone's taste but you can take the concept and make it as wacky (or not) as you like, you could make one for a prom or party or if you're like me, wear it every possible minute of the day!

You will need: A glue gun and glue sticks (You can get these on Ebay for about £4), Scissors, tweezers (to place things - the glue is really hot), Elasticated headband OR enough lace to wrap around your hear twice, bows, buttons, gems, rhinestones, chains, studs, badges, artificial flowers, feathers etc. You can also use old costume jewellery such as brooches and necklaces.

Get your glue gun and insert the glue. Cover your work surface and place paper between the elasticated headband, as shown below (This is so you don't glue the headband together).

Start gluing your bits and pieces in place, there's no right or wrong way to do this...

Finally,you can rock up your new very original and very special custom-made headdress!
