Collab : Style Swap w/ Dong Yi!

Hey guys today I have a really excited post for you guys!Me and my friend,Dong Yi thought of collaborating for the first time!So obviously she has a blog as well so I'm gonna link it HERE. We decided to do a style swap.I went to her house and we basically switched clothes and took some pictures.

That basically means the clothes I'll be showing you are her's and the clothes she'll be showing on her blog are mine.We did this mainly because we both have different taste in style and so we thought it would be fun if we switched clothes and we would get to change style for once.I totally recommend doing this with your friends because it is fun!And it also offers a lot of instagram picture opportunities.Let's be real we all look forward for that. ;)

With all of that being said,let's get started!!




So me and Dong Yi both love wearing black a lot and so we had to put a all black outfit in there.Her top and bottom are from Thailand and her shoes are from Converse.I also wore her choker and her flower crown which both she DIY-ed herself.











 

I think this outfit is super casual and perfect for a hot summer day.The flower crown totally adds a fun touch and it also pops through the all black that is going on.

Onto the next outfit! 


This next outfit is definitely more of a girly look.Her cute top is from Thailand as well and she also DIY-ed the lovely white skirt I was wearing in the picture.I kept the choker on to add a little touch of edginess and the flower crown again for the pop of colour.


On the other hand,I think this outfit is really cute and perfect if you and your friends are planning to hangout during the summer.Maybe going to a cute cafe or like a little cute spot to take pictures.

So that was all the outfit I can show you today.This was a really fun blog post to shoot.Me and Dong Yi really had fun shooting these pictures and I hope you found some inspiration through this post.



Thanks for reading!
I'll leave you guys with these two pictures of us.

DIY Ripped Jeans!

HELLO PEEPS! Good to see you! :) I know how much you guys liked my DIY Phone Case post,so I'm back for another DIY blog post!Today I'm gonna show you how to make your own ripped jeans.The process is quite self-explanatory but I thought some of you might want to know exactly how I did mine so here's a post on HOW TO MAKE RIPPED JEANS! 

I first decided to rip my jeans on my own because I saw most of them from the stores are really really pricey like most of them were RM99 for just a pair of jeans so I thought I could totally rip my own jeans and have the same result.


What you will need for this DIY:



  •  A pair of new or old jeans of your choice.




  • A pair of scissors 
  • Two or more safety pins

And that is all you need.Now let's get started!First,you want to measure where you want your holes to be.The best way to make sure you cut the right spot is to put your jeans on.So go ahead and put them on then you can start to measure.With your safety pins,pin them down where you want your cut to be.


I wanted mine right on the knees so I put the pins there.Once you measured out the spot you want to cut,you can take your jeans off.And we can start cutting!

Use a pair of scissors(preferably fabric scissors)to cut the jeans following where you've measured out.The reason I used the pins because the needles of the pins are straight so you can see where you want to cut easily.


Start by cutting a small hole and work your way up.So basically once you've successfully cut a hole,go ahead and open up your scissors, run your scissors through the hole making the little frizz comes out so that it doesn't look like a awkward hole.So cut small sections and frizz them until you get your desired look.Once you're done try them on and if you're happy with it you're done!



Mine turned out super cute and I wear it so much I think I'll never wear non-ripped jeans anymore.But I hope this helped.Be sure to try it out and I hope you liked this post.
Thanks for reading!Cheers!
