Dip Dye DIY

After reading on Lily's blog the other day (which you can read here - LLYMLRS), about creating your own dip dyed T-shirts. I was struck with inspiration, seeing as I've wanted a dip dyed top for a while, but whenever I see one marked up for £20+, I always think 'I could do that myself' well now I have! 

The instructions looked so simple, which you can read on Lily's blog link above. I couldn't wait to try it out. After grabbing myself a few T-shirts from the men's section of Primark (£2.50) some Dylon hand dye from John Lewis I was ready to go! 

I also chose antique grey as I am a huge lover of grey and didn't want to go too crazy for my first try at the technique. 

(sorry for the blurry image) 

Just waiting for it to dry on the side of the bath so my mother wouldn't go crazy at my for getting dye everywhere! 

I've also created a bright pink one for my sister which is so adorable. I think I may make loads of these because they are so cheap and so simple to do, may even try out tye dying next!

Noble Isle, Summer Rising, Bath and Shower Gel

http://www.nobleisle.com/catalog/products/7969-summer-rising

Another item I received in my Glossy Box this month, was this bath and shower gel, from Noble Isle, a company who have taken 'the natural and cultural riches of the British Isles...to create a new tradition in luxury bathing.'

When this company talks about luxury they must know about it, because as soon as I unscrewed the top and smelt the gel I fell in love. The scent is gorgeous! With extracts of elder flower, gooseberry and orange blossom, gives it it's unique smell. What is great about this product, is that you don't need to use much of it, which is good considering for 250ml it's £20, so it is quite a luxury product. 

This product also claims to have toning effects, from the antioxidant charged gooseberry, which is always helpful when you are trying to get rid of cellulite (which is my mission of the moment).

Sunday Sandals

Today has been busy for a Sunday, I've been at my parents rehearsal for the renewal of their vows, which is in three weeks time! Eeek, means I have to remember my lines and not screw up! 

After we rehearsed and everyone got very stressed, we went down the pub for lunch which was really lovely, and I am now incredibly full! 

But now whilst it is dreary outside and I'm watching the Royal Pagent on the Thames (on the TV), I thought I would tell you about the sandals I bought the other day. The first pair are from Topshop and were the amazing price of £22 and really comfortable. I love the gold plait, and the criss-crossing of them. They are also made of leather, so they will hopefully last a long time! Gold is a great colour for foot wear as they will go with near enough every colour. 

I also bought these ones from New Look, which were £22.99 and are real leather as well, which I am very pleased about. These shoes were also in their 25% off summer deal, which made them so much more of a bargain! The fact they have cute little owls on them makes them so adorable, with edition to that fact I love owls, which is what drew me to them in the first place. 

New Look have some fantastic shoes and sandals in at the moment, plus the 25% off deal it makes them the place to go once the weather perks up again! Either way they are perfect, especially if you're going on holiday any time soon.

Holiday shorts

Another thing I bought the other day on my topshop.co.uk spree; which you can read about the other items here, were these acid jersey running shorts, which were a right bargain at £10!

I love the colour of these, the acid wash is great which they have rolled out to three other colours; pink, purple and charcoal - which I may have to purchase at some point. 

I bought these mainly for my holiday in July, where I will probably be wearing them with my bikini top (which I haven't found yet - read here) or simple tank tops and such. That's why I was so pleased with the price, as they are not going to be worn to anything special.  

Has anyone else started buying their holiday clothes?
