You choose to be happy. Happiness doesn't choose you.

Hello :)

The weather was SO good yesterday! I was riding my bike to the gym, wearing sunglasses (yay!) and a coat, but on my way back I took the coat off. And it wasn't even cold! In my head it's officially spring right now. Even though the sun isn't shining anymore at the moment. Now is the time to start worrying about tanning my legs (otherwise I don't have the guts to wear shorts without tights), laying in the grass and buying flip-flops and sandals. I love it! : D

This evening me and my boyfriend are going to this hotel at the shore, to celebrate our 2,5 year anniversary. It's gonna our very first 'vacation', even though it's just for one night. My mom gave us a hotel-voucher, so it's for free (for us;). I'm really looking forward to it!

Here's an outfit where I'm wearing my new DIY-shorts! :)

At some point a kitty stopped by to say hi.

And look how pretty she is! :D

okay back to the outfit (;

the shorts!

Love,

If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough

Ladiessss and gentlemen,

Let me introduce you to... my new shorts! :)

I made them last week and I will quickly show you how I did. It's really easy! All you need is a pair of jeans, scissors, about 1,5 meters of lace and sewing machine. (The 'studs' were already on there, but you can buy studs and add them yourself as well)

First, get a pair of jeans that fit perfectly, but you never wear. These jeans I've had for about 2 or 3 years already, but I don't ever wear them anymore. So I drew two lines of how I short I wanted to cut it (make sure both legs are equal of length!) and then just cut the legs off.

Second, you'll need to hem it. This is important, even if you might want your shorts to look destroyed, because if you don't, your new shorts will soon fall apart in threads ;)

When you're done hemming, we're gonna add the fun. Get your piece of lace and pin it to the shorts. While sewing it, get the pins out piece by piece, so the lace stays in place where you didn't sew it yet. Sew the lace on two places: on the top and the bottom. This might be necessary, because otherwise the lace might curl up when you put it in the washing-machine.

Done! It's that easy :) This is the result:

Next post I'll show you an outfit where I'm wearing these shorts :)

Also, today I bought two new nail-polish top coats. Not just regular ones, effect top coats!

One's sort of holographic and the other one's a flakie and also slighlty holographic.

I tried taking pictures of how it looks, but it was really hard haha. I couldn't capture the effect in a photo really well, but anyway.. this is 'have an ice day':

This effect topper shows all the colours of the rainbow, when light hits it. I love it!

This is 'shake it! flake it!', but you really can hardly see anything on the picture. So I'll just tell you: when light hits it, it shows all kinds of reds, oranges and yellows. It's really cool :)

Btw, I was already wearing the silver nail-polish. Only the sparks of colour visible, is the effect topper!

So... have fun!

Love,

Loes
