Hello it's Valentine Series #4 : Sweet or Sassy

Sawasdee ka~
This is the first time I decided to show you guy my fashion styles and outfits. Hope you like it and give me some feedback :)

It's just few days to go before Valentine's day. So today I have 2 different styles to pick and choose for this February 14. 

For the first Vday outfit, I'm going for a sassy look. I mix and match with red and black colour. I choose black because this colour can make you look sassy, sexy and mystery in the same time. I made a messy bun to show off the moustache earring. It's really unique and sophisticate in the same time. The black top it plain at the front but look at the back...a huge bow to make this look more attractive. With my red lipstick and skirt, you can never go wrong with red things on Vday,right?

Top : ASOS

Skirt : American Apparel

Watch, earring, ring and bag : I actually bought them from Thai street stores (not sure whether you can find any of them in UK)

Shoes : My sister give to me because they are too big and too high for her. She said they are made to order shoes.

My next outfit is totally different from the first one. This one I'm going for a sweet girly look. I pick a pink purplish dress and combine with a flower headband. My curly hair make this look cuter and more feminine. As I'm a petite girl high heels or wedges are essential on a date.

Dress, headband, rings and shoes : I got them from Thai street stores.

Watch : CK

Bag : Louis Vuitton

Hello it's Valentine Series #3 : DIY Card

Sawasdee ka~

My third post on "Hello it's Valentine Series" will be about DIY Card. This year card I got an inspiration from flowers and I combined with heart shape...thing you can't ignore on Valentine's day. I tried to make it simple but unique and tah-dahhhh, this is what my card look like :)

What you will need:

❤ Compasses                                                           

❤ Pen and Pencils                                                    

❤ Scissors                                                                

❤ Exacto knife                                                         

❤ 6 mini craft brads

❤ Double-sided tape or glue

❤ Paper cutting board

❤ Coloured papers

How to make it

1. Use compasses to draw a circle shape at the back of gold glitter paper (around 6" in diameter) 

2. Use an exacto knife, cut out the circle shape you draw. I don't use scissors to cut this one because the paper is quite thick and I think the knife make a sharper edge

 3.  Use the sharp end of compasses to pierce 6 holes around the edge of glitter paper. You can also use paper piercer 

4. Cut out 2 heart sizes that are about 3" and 2" tall. Use them as templates to cut out 12 additional hearts. 6 with with thick paper and another 6 with red thick paper

5. Pierce a hole above the bottom edge of heart shape paper.

 6. Put craft brads through a hole and hold them together with circle gold glitter paper. Then split the legs of craft brad at the back of glitter paper

7. Repeat it until you have 6 hearts on the card

8. Write down "Valentine" in a bold font on white paper, cut and then glue them in the middle of glitter paper

9. Write down secret letters or message on each of white heart. I also add my cheeky lip stamp on one of the hearts

10. Cut out another round circle (same size as gold glitter one) then stick it with glue or double-sided tape at the back of gold glitter paper to hide the mess. Then you can write down your message to your loved one :)

Hope you like my card idea. 

Do you guys make your own Valentine card this year? Please share the idea
