Stone



Photobucket
I bought this new stone, a type of Opalite.

Thought I do like with my other crystals, put it in a cage and hang it on a necklace.

Not only am I convinced it will do me good and bring me luck, but it looks pretty too.

$14.99 and some chlorine







Got this vintage blazer in the post yesterday, and thought the colours were kinda gross, so I used chlorine on it. In stead of bright colours I wanted it to look really tired and more uneven. Thought it worked out pretty well. Looking forward to using it in spring, maybe with jeans shorts, a loose tank and some cool sandals. What do you think?

New hair, new diy




















Cutting of something like 15 cm of my hair makes me feel just about 5 kilos lighter. I usually go darker for fall, but this time I listened to the hairdresser and went blond. Not sure if it's quite me, but that's ok cause I'm a person for change. In Norwegian we have this saying "forandring fryder", which means something like change is joyful. I love that saying, change is good:)

Bought some stretchy lace fabric and made these leggings. I'm sick of the ordinary black leggings, and the stores don't have any cool ones (that I can afford). So now I'm on a make leggings mission. I have tons of leggings ideas to put to life. I have tons of ideas for clothes to make in general, but sewing leggings are just easy enough not to cost me much energy. Easy and fun. If yu want to make your own leggings, the easyest way to do so is to cut open the seems on a old one that fits you, and use the pieces as apattern. That way you know it will fit you, and you don't have to use time on pattermaking.

I also made this scarf some time ago. Really easy too:) This is just my favourite silk fabric that I've sewn the edges by hand.
