Knuckle Tatt Nails!

Hi!

Hope everyone is Ok.

The snow has been horrible in the UK as of late.

I used to love snow until I started working, now its just a pain. 

Nothing worse than being in work and being told all buses home are cancelled!

Anywhoo!

I thought I'd show this little beaut of nail art. 

I went to London at the start of the month and I'm one of these people that if a special occasion happens, I paint nails!

So I found this design in the Wah nail book.

This took me a good 2 hours to do.

I used a pale blue as the base and then my bargain nail art pens I found in Primark.

 The LOVE took a while to do as I had to master writing curves with my left hand!

I then finished off the look with a heart and an anchor for my thumbs.

I think this would look amazing on some pointed false nails!

Does anyone else have the Wah book?

Its amazing!

Love

Hello there!

Hope everyone had a fab festive season!

Mine was quite hindered by the fact of doing a week of night shifts right up till Christmas.

But I feel abit refreshed by the new year now so thought I'd dive back into posting.

I have a few posts lined up for a little while so watch out!

This is the outfit I wore the other day.

I know it's abit much to plan outfits so far in advance but I decided on my next day off I'd wear this! 

I wear all black for work so was excited to wear something different.

   

Shirt: h&m

Skirt: Internacionale (old)

Bag: M&S

Shoes: TKMaxx

Necklace & Belt: Primark

I love the combination of the different fabrics. 

The skirt is cord and the shirt really light.

My favourite part is definately this necklace.

I got this a long while ago and never wore it too much.

It's a bit of an awkward length to wear with much but it looks perfect under the collar of this shirt.

The shirt is rather new. 

It's really light so will be a good staple for spring, which I really cannot wait for!

I adore these shoes! 

I cannot believe they aren't docs!

When I was these in work my heart skipped a beat as we do tend to get a few docs in. 

They aren't the real deal but look how amazing they are!

I also had a giftcard as a prize so they were free!

I cant wait to rock these bad boys with some girly dresses when the weather gets abit better. 

What do you think of this outfit?

Anyone else a fan of this style of shoe?

Love

Embellish Me

Hey!

I've been having a bit of a hard time of it at work lately and when I'm not happy, I shop!

I've been loving all the accessories that have been coming into shops lately.

I think this autumn and winter will all be about jewellery and snugly jumpers for me. 

Over the past few days I've been picking bits up so thought I'd share.

Topshop: Khaki Ankle Socks, £3:50

Spike Earring, £1:50

George: Emerald Earrings, £1:50

Primark: Triangle Necklace, £4:00

Internacional: Aztec Pendant, £3:99

Gold Skull Bracelet, £2:99

Gunmetal Cross Bracelet,£1:99

Spike Cuff Earring, £1:99

H&M: Tartan Scarf, £7:99

The scarf I got from H&M is just so loverly. 

Soft and fleecy and perfect for my 5:30am gettups!

These are the various earrings and I think I got some bargains!

Internacional are doing a buy one get one half price deal at the moment to I've picked up quite a few pieces.

I'm loving all the ear cuffs but they don't half hurt! 

I'm chuffed with my green earrings from Asda, the colour is just so loverly.

These are the two bracelets.

I love the gunmetal cross one cos its shaped to fit around your wrist.

Simple pleasures!

The skull one I've wanted for yonks but didn't get around to getting it!

I adore these necklaces!

The orange and the gold of the Aztec style one goes with absolutely everything! 

Its so interesting for quite a cheap piece.

The bunting style necklace is so beautiful. 

I found it difficult to take a decent photo of all the colours in this.

Its so stunning.

And last but not least are my new beauts!

I looked at all the heeled Chelsea boots on the interwebs and then came across these in a local shop for 25 quid! 

Bargain!

They need breaking in a tad cos they hurt my ankles.

Nothing a blister plaster wont fix though!

I also got these khaki and lace trim socks to pair with the boots.  

I own far too much khaki right now!

Anyone else found some gems recently?

Love, Nina.

D.I.Y Studded Backpack

I love my trusty cream backpack from Primark! 

It cost £8 and I've used it most days since I bought it. 

I mostly take it to work if I'm staying at my boyfriends afterwards so its always crammed full of stuff. 

 This is probably why it started to rip recently =[ 

I had to find a way to fix it but I didn't just want to fix it, I wanted to jazz it up!

I decided to use some gold spikes I got off ebay a while ago. 

I also used a Cropadile (I think that's what its called) 

This can punch holes in anything and can be used to put eyelets in. 

I got it while at uni for making corsets.

I started my pinning the tear into place. 

I basically just tucked under the rough edge of the fabric so it looked neater.

I marked in pencil where I wanted all my studs and then chopped all the holes out. 

 The spikes then just screwed into place.

I loved this bag to begin with but now I just adore it! 

I have to be careful though cos the spikes are sharp and pointy and I keep batting people by accident.

Does anyone else love customising things?
