DIY: Beaded Denim Shorts

Shopping is every girl's bestfriend. May it be high fashion, first class shopping or thrifty bazaar or tiangge shopping. It's stress reducing, mind relaxing and feel good feeling everytime we get a hold of something we knew that can make us look good and more than that, something that can boosts even a little of our confidence. But shopping for those girls who doesn't always have the resources is merely possible.


So what should a thrifty girl like me, should do? SOB? CRY? Well if you're an overly dramatic person well, that's should do. But if you're an optimistic person like me (excuse my french=)) you'll know that DIYs just around the corner.


Since my closet is overly crowded of old clothes that are not just unnecessary, but also unfashionably out of style. I decided to transform one of my old boring denim shorts into a chic beaded denim shorts.  
It's not just simple and easy, if you know your resources it can also be surprisingly free!
All you need is:  
         Pearl Necklace you don't use

        Old denim shorts

        Needles and Thread(preferably the same color of your denim shorts or the pearl) 

          All you need to do is sew the pearl beads randomly onto different parts of the shorts depending on your choice and on how much beads you want to put onto your shorts.

And Voila! A new pair of denim shorts for no cost at all! How cool is that?

Try redesigning your old clothes and give them a fashionably new look!

Ciao for now.

DIY: Glittery Nails

I hardly go to salon to have my nails done. Yes, i do have my regular foot spa and pedicure but that's,that.When it comes to manicure and hand nail polish application, i'd rather apply nail polish myself than pay for something that will only last, let's say a day or even hours. =)

As a teenager, i find glittery nail polish pretty. But that changed as i age. OUCH! Fortunately, glittery nails are making it's come back and so, i decided why don't i give it another try. I went to Landmark at Trinoma last week and upon browsing the shelves of nail polishes, i found this interesting nail polish by caress which is called christmas polka. It's quite similar to Deborah Lippmann's happy birthday nail polish and only cost around P24.75($0.57). It's such a steal compared to deborah lippman's price which is $18 (around P774). Without second thought, i bought the nail polish! YAY!

Notice the Price? What a STEAL!! =)

DIY: Strappy sandals Revamped

I'm a very "D-I-Y" type of person. I love personalizing stuffs and possibly make everything up on my own. If i can do something up without spending much, the better. It's fun plus it's cheap. It's also a rewarding experience once you see the results of your own project.


Here's one of my DIY Project. A revamping of my old boring unused strappy sandals.
