I've been totally abusing this white top, I've been wearing it way toooo much! see here.  I love this top to bits, I feel it's so versatile and yet, not too basic to the point of boredom. I'm probably the only one that sees so much love in it. Hahaha. Did I mentioned that it's super comfortable too? Oh, and the skirt, it's from Bershka, you probably wouldn't be able to find it anymore, cause you know what? I tried, I was told that they came in four designs, and boo, I only got two of them. So I went back to Bershka to search for the remaining two designs, obviously I failed, ):

I can't remember which day was it when I worked for the toastbox, anyhow, I decided to just lump it here instead of doing another post for it. Well, mainly because I feel it's not blog-worthy..

DIY PROJECT: Jazzing Plain Bangles












Secure the threads onto the bangle with a knot.

Create a loop on top of the bangle with one set of threads

Go through the bangle

from below, through the loop

Repeat the step II and III twice or thrice before proceeding with the next set of threads








I found many of such plain bangles lying around when I was packing my room. I like simplicity, but I have way too many already. Therefore, I seized the opportunity to jazz it up with some DIY work! I mostly paired the bangles up with complementary colours namely, purple & yellow; green & red; orange & blue. After I got the main few colours down, I ventured a little to other colours, as I have a lot of spares remaining. I tried colours like pink & yellow, usually this combination may seem a little off, but I used a nudish pink, and the effect wasn’t all that bad imho. As the saying goes, nothing ventured nothing gained. It pays to come out of the comfort zone and ignore the rule of the thumb.
Things that you need (can be found at any crafts store such as chinatown or Artfriend ):

1.       Coloured threads (I used 3 threads per colour. 7 feet each.  If you are using mouline threads, 2 will suffice.)
2.       Scissors
3.       Bangles
4.       Superglue (Optional)
P.s. Mouline threads are commonly used in making friendship bracelets.

Step I
Secure the threads onto the bangle with a knot.
Step II
Create a loop on top of the bangle with one set of threads
Step III
Go through the bangle and from below, through the loop.
Step IV
Repeat the step II and III twice or thrice before proceeding with the next set of threads.
Step V
Repeat till the bangle is fully covered, end off with a knot.
Step VI (Optional)
Further secure the knots with super glue to make the bangle last longer without coming loose.

Updated, DIY PROJECT: Jewelry Organiser


If you have been reading my blog for a while, you would know that I always have the intention to revamp this piece of baby here. Old post here.



I repainted the frame to fit in my new room..

Then I gathered some my black construction paper and used double sided tape as shown above.

Then I used a piece of "stiff" paper and smooth it out..

you can also get inspired from wendyslookbook here. (:


This is the final look of my jewelry organiser/accessories board

Board; ikea
Paper; any craft stores
