Denim Shorts - Customised

So, I was planning a photo shoot the past few weeks and I really wanted to customise my own pair of denim shorts for the shoot. I wanted the styling of the clothing to be edgy and this was the perfect time to include the shorts. The whole outfit was inspired by Beyonce in her music video for Flawless.

The denim shorts were very simple to make and I have put together some steps to follow so you too can make a pair:

1. Cut the shorts to your desired length

2. Depending on where your are doing the customising: place an old hardcover book inbetween the legs of the shorts to provide steady support when you are pulling the threads and also to protect your skin from being scratched by safety pins. Some people may wish to use an old table and this would be suitable too.

3. Place the shorts on a hard surface, see above, use a safety pin to pull the threads until the denim tassels begin to appear.


Hope you have fun with it :)

Customising

I am currently customising a pair of my old shorts for my first shoot of 2014. I will upload a step-by-step tutorial very soon so you guys can get creative too :)

Winter Warmer - Capes

As I am living in Ireland it is essential to own a warm cover-up. I recently bought this cape at Crisis Boutique, Cork for €39.98 and I can safely say it was worth every penny. These are very trendy at the moment, therefore if you are looking for a stylish cover-up this will be ideal. It is very warm despite being sleeveless. They are also available in a variety of colours. I would recommend wearing it with a long sleeve top.

I prefer wearing mine with skinny jeans to give a nice shape to my body. The cape is bulky at the top and as I am bottom heavy, it is a great balance.

I recently bought some Black leather gloves from Shaws and they will definitely look chic with this cape. I wore this on a day out with my boyfriend and not once did I complain about how cold the weather was!

Happy Shopping :)

Love, B
