UNICORNS! ^_^

 
Last week I took a trip back to Hampshire (from Cornwall) to stay with my Grandparents whilst working in London! On one of my days off I took my Grandma to my favourite little vintage/secondhand/antique shop in Midhurst! (The one I blogged about before, where I got the Liberty scarf from)!
 
Well, surprise surprise I found another gem!
 
A HERMES KELLY BAG!
 
Not sure if it is fake or not :/ I'm guessing by its price of £10 it may well be! But it is such good quality that I don't really mind :P It came with Padlock and key, and had Hermes lining and zippers inside! It also had backpack straps so you can wear it in multiple ways!...
 




 
At the same shop I also bagged 3 meters of this vintage fabric! It is SO bright I love it! Wanna make a summer dress with it :)...
 
 
There are quite a few other charity/vintage shops in Midhurst too! I got this red boyfriend blazer from another vintage shop :)
 
 
Really love the buttons :)


 A few days before returning to Hampshire I visited Falmouth with some friends. Falmouth is also home to a few really lovely vintage/secondhand shops! In one of them I spotted my friend spotted this old comic for 50p! Those of you who know me, will know of my obsession with Unicorns, so I absolutely had to buy it :P I will probably never read it, but it is just one of those things I had to own!...
 

 
Speaking of Unicorns, I have found myself recently warming to the music of Unicorn Kid! I heard his stuff a while ago and didn't really like it, but it is definitely growing on me! Especially his new track "Need U" which is out soon! It's SO 90's :)
 
He is 20 and from Edinburgh! That's enough for me to like him!
 
AND he has really cool hair! The boy version of how I want mine :P
 
 
I really love this song, however i'm a bit unsure of the vocals! A tad too squeaky for me!
But oh well...Check out his hair....
 

 
Think he may have re-dyed it brown recently, but still!

Cannot believe how quickly this year has gone :O

Ok, so I know it is not the end of the year yet, but it is actually a year TODAY that I was driving to Italy with the family! :O :O :O
 
(I'm in a reminiscing mood today)
 
These were taken EXACTLY a year ago :O Har har Happy Birthday to them :P
 

 
That tiny dot on the middle left of this photo was a cable car :O Who would go that high????!!! Crazyness :O...












 
All photos taken in my car :)
 
I just cannot get over how quickly time goes :'O Just gotta make the most of every moment!
 
Hope this years trip is as EPIC!!

TIE-DYE!!

The other day my sister, her friend and I had a tie-dye day! Between us we tie-dyed around 13 garments. We used turquoise, navy, pink, yellow and red dye which when blended created the whole spectrum of colours. Luckily the weather was nice enough to do it outside, because we stained the grass different colours and even the rain hasn't washed it away yet! Oh well at least it wasn't carpet!

My plain white clothes ready to dye..!
 The two t-shirts were from Primark in the men's section for £2.50 each :) I got XXS men's t-shirts because I find all the women's ones are stretch fabric in Primark! Stretchy t-shirts and tie-dye just don't go!...


All tied up...


We used paint brushes and small bottles to dye the clothes. This makes it alot easier to get specific colours in specific places :) As you can see, the 5 colours we used blended really nicely to make a whole spectrum of colours...


This one made a spiral pattern!
I can't really explain how I tied it like that, but here is Bill at Banana plantation to show you how to do it!!...




All of our clothes tied and dyed!...
 

MY SPIRAL TEE! Yaaay it worked!!...


All of my clothes...


Everyones clothes dyed...
 


We were really pleased with our tie-dyed clothes but the thing that really sucks is that when I went to tumble dry everything after rinsing them out all the red dye ran :( We managed to rinse most of it out but it made the other colours quite faded :(
 So NEVER tumble dry tie-dyed stuff straight after dying it!!

What I'm listening to...

Sticking with the spectrum theme...
