I'm so sorry to have been gone so long, its been my birthday and I've been enjoying the summer. But I promise I'll have hauls-a-plenty and OOTD's soon. BUT!
I wanted to share with you all a little venture I'm starting. I'm going to be selling handmade kimonos! All made by hand, by me.
Unfortunately the fabric in the photo is no longer available but I can make kimonos in any of the following prints or in any plain colour you'd like. Fringing is optional and you can change lengths for a little extra!
If you're interested email me at megancrosby@hotmail.co.uk
Considering the sunshine today, going all black and 'goth-esque' was probably not one of my best ideas. Nonetheless, I bought this mesh tee recently and I couldn't wait to wear it any longer... So here it is. If you saw my last post you'll have seen these DIY'd Levi's and I'm totally loving them! Still annoyed you can't see the rips all too well but I suppose I'll live.
Not going to lie, I did receive a few funny looks for wearing this... I didn't think it was overly shocking? Maybe the people of my town just aren't ready for mesh. What kind of a place am I living in...
I just wore this to do some shopping today, I bought some cute fabrics and I'm planning on making a kimono and another dress. I'm thinking of doing a DIY series? A few tutorials and just showing you guys things I've been making? Let me know if you'd like it.
I've been loving the look of super ripped up distressed shorts recently, but I didn't want to attempt it at all myself.... Previously when I've tried, all I've done it utterly ruin expensive items of clothing... Fortunately, this time around, these black Levi's didn't cost me very much nor were they particularly unique or something I couldn't buy again if my DIY went wrong.
But of course, I sought out the help from The Fashion Citizen! I love Stephanie and Melissa's style and I wish I lived somewhere as hot and perfect as Arizona. But alas I do not...
Their tutorial shows you exactly how to distress the shorts in the super cool ripped way, so check ittttt. Although, I did end up with black fluff all over the floor of my bedroom... A bare-able downside.
As much as I love the outcome, I'm going to do it again on a blue pair soon. The black thread of the shorts make it so you can barely see the rips :-(.
Guys as I'm sure you're all aware if you follow me on Google Friend Connect; it's shutting down! Please follow my blog over in bloglovin' if you'd like. The icon is on the left!
Hello my little stunners! I've missed blogging so much, I'm so happy to say I'm back. I've finished school now and I'm free until September. *party*
It's my prom tomorrow and I'm so so excited. I'll definitely get loads of photos and get them all up for you as soon as I can, I might even film a little vlog of it all. It's so exciting! I don't feel old enough....
Anyway! Here's my OOTD from a few days ago. I went to a Leavers BBQ at school; it's just a big send off they do at my school; we all go in and have a lovely relaxed assembly and they give out silly little awards that everyone votes for (incase you're wondering, in my tutor I was voted most likely to be a fashion designer and my entire year group voted me best dressed! Go me...). They close the school early for all the other pupils so that all the teachers are able to attend and say goodbye. It was lovely!
Playsuit: c/o Motel Rocks
Cardigan: Vintage

Socks: Topshop
Chain necklace: H&M

This outfit is not particularly photogenic...I personally think it looks an awful lot better in real life but what can I do!
It was a chilled-but-nice vibe at school so I didn't want to look too laid back. Hence picking this beautiful little playsuit. I received this way back in October when I won a giveaway with Motel & Etail Webstores, but I've hardly worn it so when I noticed it hidden away at the back of my wardrobe I got all excited, as when you remove the belt, it looks just like 2 separate pieces... Something I've been searching for at a reasonable price for a month or so now. So you can imagine my excitement when I found this! But then I put a belt on...Remind me again why? Silly Megan.
I hope you like it nonetheless! There should be a haul up very soon, so keep your eyes open.
(sorry for the even worse quality then normal, I still need to get new batteries for my normal camera)
Hello lovelies. I absolutely love what I'm wearing today it's a mix of all my recent purchases and I just love it to pieces. It's really vibing what I want to dress like right now, although I do wish it was more summer so I could wear this with Levi's or a skirt... Although, my hair and make up on the other hand, is not at all what I would like to be going for, therefore I've cropped it out in almost all of the photos. You'll have to excuse me!
I bought this beautiful cardigan for £3 in a vintage/charity shop (I couldn't quite work out which it was!). I spotted it just as I was leaving so it felt like fate... A dream come true after me searching for the perfect beautiful white knit cardigan for ever. At last. It's a similar story for the bag too, me and a friend were pouring through a Sue Ryder charity shop and she found it for me and I was well and truly made up. It's so so gorgeous, it goes with literally everything. It's so simple and yet so pretty, cute and sophisticated. In love.
Today was a lovely day. I went to see The Host this morning with my mum and was very pleased! I was expecting it to be 100 times different to the book, like movies usually are. But as Stephenie Meyer's book adapted movie's go, they don't get messed with too much. Probably due to the millions of teenage girls (myself included) that would throw major hissy fits if it got changed. Can you imagine the impact of millions of stroppy, hormonal teenagers hissy-fitting at the same time...? Obviously not all are stroppy and hormonal, but I'm just generalising here.
After the film, we went for lunch at Jamie's which was so lovely. I love that Jamie's does smaller portions for pasta and stuff, perfect size for lunch time! Apart from that and my successful shopping trip, my half term has just been me working and sleeping. What have you guys been up to?
