DIY: Ripped Jeans

Hello lovelies, just a quick post today that I thought i'd share with you. I'm really into my DIY's at the moment and this one is the easiest one ever!

Recently my friend bought some topshop jeans in the sale, with the ripped knees, which everyone seems to be wearing at the moment. But I didn't really feel like spending 30 odd pounds on a pair of jeans from Topshop. I did find some cheaper ones online but then I never like buying jeans online, I really wanted a pair but I was a bit stuck, until it occurred to me. Something as simple as a rip in the knees is ridiculously easy to do, why are we paying so much for it?

So heres what I did-

You will need:

• A pair of plain jeans (Old or new)
• A pen
• A pair of scissors 

I got my jeans from Primark for only 7 pounds and after doing this they are now my favourite pair!
So I sat down with my jeans on so the jeans were quite stretched out, and drew on them with a normal pen (I wouldn't recommend using sharpie as the line will be too thick and might stain). I drew about a 4cm line on each knee right in the centre of my knee cap. This is the important bit, to look in the mirror and check they are even before you cut, I got my friend to double check too, just to be safe. You might think the line you have drawn is too short and you want a longer slit than that, well I did in the knowledge that they will rip a bit more once I wear them and it will look more ripped than cut when that happens.

So then take the jeans off for the cutting part! And cut them carefully and keep putting them back on and seeing if you are happy with them, remembering they will rip further once you wear them a bit. And that is how simple it is! And I spent a total of 7 pounds.

Bag Wishlist

Hello lovelies, recently whenever I go into shops I am just totally drawn to the bag section and love looking at them all. So I thought I would do a post with a few of my favorites and what I will be buying (hopefully) in the near future. 

1. This is a sort of Céline replica bag which I am loving, and this will most probably be my first purchase. It's just such a classic looking bag. The one I found on Ebay, here, I'm not sure what the quality will be like as it is reasonably cheap (£26.99) but I will keep you posted.





2. The second one is a bag from River Island which is a lovely mint colour with black. I am totally loving mint at the moment and my car I will be getting hopefully very soon will also be mint so I want this to match with all the excitement. You can buy this here for £40.00.





3. Thirdly, another minty/ blue colour, but more pastel. Another thing I am loving right now, everything pastel! I hope they never go out of style. This one is a bargain at £11.95, which you can buy here on Ebay. When I do purchase this I really hope the quality will be good, which is obviously one thing you will be sceptical about.







4. Next, Is a little Ted Baker make up bag. I already have a big wash bag for majority of my makeup but I really want a little one to just keep in my handbag. This one is £22.00 and you can get it online here, but I will probably get it from selfridges or something in the hope of having student discount.











5. I've got a lot of blue and mint bags on my wish list this time and I really like this pink bag from New Look. And it is now on sale for £17.24 online, here.











6. This is another one from New Look, and the one thing that stood out to me on this were the handles. The length of the straps are pretty perfect and not like every bag you see today. I saw this bag on ASOS, here, for £24.99.













5. And lastly, another blue one. Slightly more pricey but I don't own a little bag like this other than clutch bags for going out and I really love the little chain. And for what it is it is slightly more pricey, £39.00. But it is very cute and again from ASOS, here.

And that is my bag wishlist... for now. I will let you know about some of the products from Ebay and if they are good quality. Let me know if you like any of these or what you've found that you love! Thanks for reading.
