DIY The Look

Shirley Manson

Red hair, leopard skin, padlocks, studs and chains!

This week I'm going to DIY the look of Shirley Manson from Garbage. Thick black eyeliner at the ready...

Not only is Shirley from Edinburgh but she's the awesome front woman for the band Garbage. Her style is always changing, so there are a lot of looks to choose from, but I don't think you can beat her leopard-print rocker look.

  1. Get the bad girl look with a padlock necklace by viczye23.
  2. If you want to dye your hair, check out Crissy's tips for bleaching safely.
  3. Add a touch of colour with M$ UndeadR@!nb0w's under eye rainbow.
  4. Make your own stud earrings like Lilly V.
  5. Go rock chic with Yasmine B's lace studded corset.
  6. Turn a DVD case in to a leopard clutch with Miki.
  7. DIY a pair of Jenna C's chained Isabel boots.
  8. Pair with some Punisher leggings, also by with Jenna C.
  9. Accessorize with Operation Overhaul's leather bracelet.
  10. Paint some turquoise striped nails like Birgit.


Which of Shirley's looks do you love best?

Dream Bedroom

Five ways to personalise and revamp your bedroom!

The bedrooms are my least favourite part of our house. They're quite small so there's not a lot we can do with them but I've come up with five must-do ideas that should transform them.

Quirky Headboards

I think the easiest and most powerful way to transform a boring bed, or even bedroom, is with an amazing headboard. For our room, I want to put a chalkboard wall behind the bed so that we can draw our own bed frame and change the design whenever we like. As for the guest room, I'm obsessed with the idea of making a cinema-style letter wall, so that we can put up our guests names in a Now Showing style way!

Bedside Lamp

A bedside lamp can pretty up your bedroom while giving you light to read. I'm torn between a pin-prick shade which will send pretty reflections around the room and an ultra chic scrap fabric shade. Perhaps I'll make both!

Cosy Bedding

Pair your awesome headboard with some cosy bedding for the perfect place to lay your head. There's nothing more inviting than a colourful patchwork quilt and lots of fluffy pillows and cushions.

Fairy Lights

Fairy lights make everything better. Even if you're room is empty, you can turn off the lights and turn on some fairy lights to be transported in to a magical happy place. I'm planning on making some fairy light paintings as well as hanging lights behind sheer curtains to transform our bedroom.

Pretty Art

There's no better way to bring add own personality to a room and show off your creative skills than with some DIY art for the walls. It doesn't even have to be good - just use lots of colour and go crazy. The melted crayon art on CO+K is a great idea.


What would your dream bedroom be like?

DIY The Look

Cher from Clueless

Plaid, knee high socks, fluffy pens and bubble gum!

This week I'm going to DIY the look of Cher from Clueless. Pull up your knee high socks and let's get started...

Clueless was one of my favourite movies growing up and looking back, I'm not sure why Cher was one of my style icons in high school. After spotting a how-to for the perfect fluffy pen, this DIY the look was just far too fun not to do.

  1. Turn a t-shirt in to a cardigan with Zornista A.
  2. Chat to Dee in between classes on your customized phone like Beverly Z.
  3. Accessorize with a fabulous pair of felt heart earrings by Maleikie
  4. Make your own fluffy pen with Joanne N to note down important clueless thoughts. 
  5. Feel flirty in a pleated mini skirt by Laura N.
  6. Sew your own version of Chantelle Fashion's DIY elegant lace shirt.
  7. Carry your shopping in Mayra Deezy's easy peasy tote.
  8. Pull on a pair of fairy kei knee high socks like Annika G.
  9. Try to look intelligent for Josh with a pair of Imagine's zebra glasses.
  10. Pair with some gold or silver nautical flats by Jenna C.
  11. Get the Malibu look with KMOM14's nail art.


Which was your favourite movie growing up and who was your childhood style icon?
