what I wore: cut offs & cut outs

if in doubt I go basic.

I love the simple combination of cuts off & a white tee, If I'm in a hurry it's my go-to throw together outfit. 

I took these photos last week, but a weekend of pub crawling for my best friends hen do left put a spanner in the works (and by spanner I mean hangover) luckily a few cheese toasties and an afternoon of self pity seems to have done the trick and I'm back on track. hallelujah.

it's such a basic ensemble I thought it was the perfect time to wear my new statement footwear from SoYouShoes. these puppies really caught my eye when I was browsing their website; half sandal - half boot they're a gladiator hybrid and perfect for dressing up a simple outfit (not to mention comfortable I shan't be filling up my handbag with blister plasters for once!) I'm sure I'll be wearing these on a regular basis this summer as they're great paired with shorts and skirts.

red lips & a few accessories were my only real attempt to dress up, on a sunny day I like to take it easy! 
fedora: topshop
tee: topshop
denim shorts: h&m
gladiator sandals: c/o SoYouShoes
bag: vintage
watch, belt & pom pom bracelet: urban outfitters
lipstick: mac lady danger
daisy nails: barry m black polish

back soon!

DIY cane cabinet | IKEA hack

Hình ảnh
ok, so i'm fully obsessed with cane furniture, it haunts me with its gorgeousness but i basically can't justify the cost cause some of that stuff is EXPENSIVE!!! i wanted to make my own budget version of some the lovely cabinets i keep spying on sites like urban outfitters. if there was ever a piece of furniture crying out for an IKEA hack it has to be the ivar cabinet, it's beautiful in its simplicity.. those untreated wooden doors and those clean lines, ah yes we likey. i figured the doors could easily be modified to add in some cane panels and guess what .. i was bloody right, hurrah! head over to hunker to see the step by step for this  cane furniture hack  and let me know if you try making it too! are you loving cane furniture too? i have some more projects that I'll be using this  cane webbing on that i'll be sharing soon.. caroline x

it's been a while since I shared some of my favourite buys & recent discoveries so I've rounded up all the things that make my heart a flutter and delivered them below! a lot have come from my recent holiday so be warned there's quite an assortment... night lights: gahhh I'm such a tourist, I literally can't resist novelty items!  these mini night/mood lamps are so cute and teeny I found them in a shop called tiger store in iceland luckily I was able to squeeze them into my hand luggage.. much to the delight of the people at airport security..  we do have tiger store branches in the uk but they don't deliver so you can't buy online.. pure torture!! I shall be making my way to one next time I get to london! postcards: it wouldn't be a holiday without the compulsory postcard haul 'when I grow up I want to be a tourist' is my new mantra.. topshop ashleigh multi buckle boots : I've been harbouring a crush on cut out boots since last winter.. ...

rattan bedside table IKEA hack

Hình ảnh
my name is caroline and i have a rattan addiction... seriously, i just can't help myself. since cane furniture can be ridiculously expensive i'm finding it impossible to resist DIY-ing my own with the help of some cane webbing. it's easy to source and gives you so many options for giving your furniture a quick makeover. this table is the most basic of IKEA purchases.. a £12 nesna nightstand. (yup, £12. not exactly breaking the bank right?)  i'm so happy with my new boho addition i had to share it... you can find the step by step tutorial for how i made it over on hunker .. go take a look at how easy this IKEA hack was to achieve! caroline x ps. if you're looking for cane webbing in the UK this is where i source mine.
