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

magic is something you make

Hello!

Let me tell you about my week. In opposite chronological order, because that seems to make sense to me in some kind of way.

A close-up from my outfit:

The head that goes with it:

My good friend Benjamin, who I visited yesterday. Also, he wears the same col shawl as me, how cool is that:

The nail-polish I bought on our shopping-spree:

The totally true and awesome name of it:

How it looks! So pretty!:

These jeans, which I bought a few days ago. You can see how it looks in the previous post. I love the tag :) :

Got this scarf from my mother-in-law, last weekend:

As well as this bag, which is brown. It looks kinda black-ish in the photo, but that's a lie! Don't trust photographs! It's browwwwn!

AND of course, this extremely awesome poster. Fight Club is my all-time favourite movie and Edward Norton is my all-time favourite actor. My friend Sheer-el gave this to me two weeks ago. So in fact, this post is not about last week. Ah well, who cares:

Enjoy your weekend! And the few days before, and the ones after the weekend as well.

Love,

Loes

the less you care, the happier you will be

Hello Hello! (:

It has been an awesome weekend for me! Eric's mom and Eric himself celebrated their birthdays in one, big-ass party and it was super awesome. Lots of family and friends and (too much) food & drinks! I made some muffins for the party, you can find them at the end of this post. The weather was actually really nice for a change, so we enjoyed the sun for as long as it lasted -today it was cloudy again.
And since I finally got some money again (OMG what a relief. Never felt so rich, having something like, 60 euros in stead of uhm.. nothing) I bought something new for myself :) A necklace and a shirt, which I both wore today. I'm always like that: buy new stuff and want to wear it immediatly, all of it, the next day. Makes some goofy outfits sometimes. I also bought some nail polish and I took some pics of it, but you can't really see how truly awesome it is. It's some sort of holographic, but without glitter and it's grey, purple and green at the same time.

Anyway, in this oufit you can see my new shirt, earrings (which I showed in the post before) and necklace! What I wore today:

The muffins for the party :)

Have a nice week!

Love,

Loes
