Hey guys,

I have recently been making my own jewellery and though it about time to start selling it.  The links are in the page bar. Currently I can only ship to the UK but if you are interested please check out my stores.

Here are two of the items currently on sale.



I am also currently making floral head bands. If anyone wants to commission a piece feel free to email me. 

Hope you enjoy

DIY- with old maps

Hey again last post of the evening. A while ago I made these items and I wanted to share them with you. I had found a book of old maps and decided to create some unique storage and desk tidy's out of them. First the pictures then I'll explain how I created them.


To create this I covered toilet roll holders in the map print. I cut the rolls down to the size I wanted and then pva glued the map paper on and then used a clear plastic circle to the bottom.


This was made in the same way as the last although this one has a map print base and I use it to store my makeup.

I then covered an old moisturiser tube in map paper and this I use to keep paper clips. 


I also covered jar lids in map print making them a lot nicer to look at while still storing my stuff.


I also covered an old leather box in map print to create this make-up case where I keep my nail varnishes


Hope you enjoy.

Hey again,

I know I've not posted in a while, I've been busy moving to uni. I have now started my fashion course at coventry university. I started this week and so wanted to finally get back into blogging.

I have decided to switch things up a bit and post more about myself my work and things that I wear and that inspire me. I want to do this blog more as a documentation of my life as opposed to just being about nail art (which I am not that interested in at the moment). I also plan to do a lot more DIY posts as they are something I really enjoy and I still need to post some of the projects I have already completed.

Bye for now,

Lauren :P

DIY Comic book shoes

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while as I haven't been bothered to edit my photos again, sorry. I've also decided to branch out the blog and post about the DIY projects I've been doing recently. I've seen a lot of comic book shoes people have made lately on instagram and pintrest and also on tickld and so really wanted to make my own. It is a super easy way to jazz up a pair of shoes and you don't have to use comics you could use any magazine. I do like marvel comics however and decided to make some spiderman shoes. I'll post pics first then explain how to create them although there are some great youtube tutorials if you are going to make these.










To create these I bought some plain black patent high heels from Barratts for £8 in a sale. I also bought the amazing spiderman 475 (34) from ebay. I then cut the comic book up and used PVA glue to stick create the shoes. (The youtube video's suggested to use modge podge but I had a thick pva glue which is sort of the same thing.) I love these shoes and they came out so much better than I imagined.
