A girl can dream

It's almost my birthday and this is my wishlist so far...  (Hint hint)















DIY

I stumbled upon this awesome DIY
  http://honestlywtf.com/diy/

You’ll need:

For shank style buttons, start by cutting off the backs with a pair of flush cutters. Vintage buttons are most commonly made of lightweight metal and plastic so cutting off the shanks is very easy. For embellished collars, make sure there are two sets of embellishments so that the design is symmetrical.
Squeeze a dollop of Jewel-It washable glue onto a wooden spoon or small plastic container. Jewel-It is the best bonding agent when it comes to glueing hard-to-hold jewels and embellishments onto fabrics. Use a toothpick to dab glue onto the back of a button, rhinestone, or pearl.
Position the embellishment on the tip of the collar and work outwards.
Note that the glue does not set right away and takes quite a while to dry so be careful not to nudge the pieces around too much.
Repeat the same design on the other collar tip and that’s it, you’re done! Allow to dry at least 24 hours before handling or wearing and even though clothing can be washed after using Jewel-It, I would recommend dry cleaning the shirt only.
Another option is to embellish the pocket of a denim shirt using the same technique. Check out an example here. Happy embellishing!

Collar Crush

One of my favourite trends has to be the collar shirt. There is soo much you can do with a collar shirt. I love collar tips covered in studs or simple collars worn with pretty collar necklaces. It's a bonus that I have to wear collar shirts to work... Here is some inspiration
