OOO LA LA


 I'm Wearing: H&M top and skirt, DIY fluffy sandals and sunglasses from a festival

The countdown until my second trip to Japan is comin' in real hot. Only a few weeks until I'm back in my favourite place in the whole world. What's more exciting is that I get to share it with my fam! I'm going to be blogging the whole trip so look forward to seeing some sweet travel diaries.
Speaking of Japan last time I was there I bought this sheer button up top which isn't usually my style and I decided that today I would finally wear it. I paired it with a casual leather skirt and DIY fluffy sandals for an outfit that effortlessly transitions into an evening look.

LEAKED


 I'm Wearing: Topshop tee, Forever 21 skirt and Inu-Inu bag 

Yep I bought another fried egg item… It’s so tacky but I love ma fried eggs. I got this super sweet bag a few weeks ago and to be honest I’ve only worn it once but I do plan on wearing it way to much. I also got a sweet hook up with these specs and I wouldn’t think i’d normally wear a reflective pair but I’m lovin' them now.

Before this year started I didn’t really think my Graphic design course would take up much blogging time but I’m having to squeeze this quick in the back yard post up in-between assignment tasks. I think I also may have broken the main photography rule with having the sun behind me but fuck that I’m no photographer and I am loving those natural light leaks. Little do you guys know that I’m actually wearing my mums garden crocs in these photos so I didn’t stand on any bindis talk about fashion blogger.

DIY MOSCHINO INSPIRED BEAR BAG

The original beauty

I have been wanting to do another DIY post for you guys for a little while now as they are one of my favorite things to do! After getting all excited over Moschino’s Fall/Winter 2015 runway collection, designed by Jeremy Scott. I decided I needed the bear bag to then discover it was sold out everywhere and way too expensive for my student lifestyle.

I attempted to sew my own version but it ended up looking very different but still cute nonetheless!

Here are some rough step by step instructions on how I made my Moschino inspired bear bag but I myself winged it so I thought i’d tell you how I did it and let you guys just run with it… You might even think of better ways to do it than me!

Step 1: First I snipped the head off the toy and pulled out all the stuffing. Then I patched up the hole ready to create a new hole for the purse fitting. I bought the purse fitting from Spotlight (gigantic sewing store) and measured and cut out the opening hole.

Step 2: Then I cut some rough fabric circles the size of the purse and sewed them together along half of the circle to create the inside lining of the purse. 

Step 3: I then lined up the lining with the purse edges and pinned them down and started to sew on the purse fitting. I used this link to see how to sew on a purse fitting but to be honest the row of holes is pretty obvious. 

Step 4: Once everything was sewn together I stole a chain from another bag of mine that was falling apart and attached it to the bag!

That is pretty much how I made the purse I probably left out a few things and you might be left slightly confused but I think you guys will figure it out.
