All That Glitters Is Gold: Introducing missikon.com!

Top – Missikon* | Shorts – American Apparel | Shoes – Missikon*

Getting dressed up for a night out doesn’t mean you have to wear heels! For those of you who struggle to endure a whole night in 5″ platforms, spiked or studded flats are a great alternative. I’m wearing the Studded Flat Shoes* from Missikon – they look amazing and are practical for a night out as well as being easy to dress down for a day-time look. I would strongly advise buying a size up from your usual in these, because they are small fitting.
My top is the Gold Sequence Dress*, also from Missikon, and I have tucked it into my trusty black American Apparel Disco Short.

While you’re checking out Missikon, you should also go to their Facebook page and enter their giveaway to win a GHD goodie bag!

Romwe & Tights Please goodies!

Romwe & Tights Please goodies!

Here’s my latest Lookbook post! I’m wearing a new t-shirt and earrings from Romwe.com, the American Apparel Disco Short, new House of Holland ‘Bones’ tights from tightsplease.co.uk and black Underground creepers.

I love this Givenchy-esque panther print t-shirt from Romwe.com which I purchased courtesy of Romwe’s generous blogger freebie allowance! The black obviously goes with everything while the print and sheer panel at the top simultaneously makes it an interesting piece.

The second item I purchased with my Romwe gift allowance was these gorgeous spike earrings. They’re a perfect statement piece without being too ‘in your face’ and are ideal for toughening up an otherwise neutral outfit.

   

Finally I completed my outfit with House of Holland’s ‘Bones’ tights. I’ve owned HoH tights before and can’t fault them; the quality is great as long as you’re very careful when putting them on (especially if your nails are long like mine!) and they look fab. These tights were a gift from the wonderful Tights Please where you can also purchase other HoH tights, socks and underwear with free UK delivery for a limited time!

DIY Disco Short

DIY Disco Short

Everyone loves American Apparel, and the classic Disco Short is definitely an AA favourite, but the £45 price tag isn’t! For a fraction of a price, you can make your own ‘close enough’ pair. You will need:

  • One pair of plain black (or any other colour you desire) cycling shorts
  • One button
  • Needle and thread
There is really nothing to it – sew on the button, and roll up the legs of your shorts to the required level! You can add a stitch or two to secure them, if you want to. Obviously they don’t look quite as good  as the original, but if you’re desperate to own them at a fraction of the price then this is perfect. You can pick up plain cycling shorts from everywhere, probably even as P.E shorts in the school uniform section of your local supermarket! Everyone has old buttons lying around the house, and if you don’t they can be bought at any market or craft store for pennies. Check out my version below (excuse the bad quality photos):
I’d love to know if anyone tries this out, you could even add studs and fake pockets! Email me your photos to hlfarrington@hotmail.co.uk!
