D.I.Y. #5 - Bracelets Videos

EN: Hello Bananas.

I have a Board on Pinterest dedicated to D.I.Y. stuff but since I'm "not able" to share the pictures - for reasons that I've already explained on my previous post - I will share with you some videos (you can also pin videos to Pinterest).

A few months ago I went to a Chinese shop and bought some things in order to make a bracelet but once I got home and started "making" the bracelet one of the pieces did not fit in another piece so that "project" is pendent for now.

In the mean time I discovered other Chinese shops that sell D.I.Y. stuff so I will make other things in a near future. And perhaps also do a video about it?!?!? Would you like that?

D.I.Y. #4 Revamp your jewelry - Old Bracelet

 

EN: Hello Bananas! Today's post is just another little D.I.Y. that I've done a few weeks ago. Since my last D.I.Y. post were I revamped my Earcuff from TOPSHOP, I've been going through my jewelry searching for other things that I can revamp haha.

So the next victim was an old bracelet of mine, and by old I mean really old, I'm 99.9% sure that it came with a magazine that I used to buy during my teens. I'm 26 now... you do the math!

PT: Olá Bananas! O post de hoje  é outro pequeno D.I.Y. que eu fiz. Desde que fiz o meu último post de D.I.Y. sobre o que fiz com o meu brinco da TOPSHOP, tenho andando a vasculhar as minhas bijutarias para ver o que mais possso alterar haha.

Então a próxima vítima foi uma pulseira velha minha, e quando digo velha é mesmo velha, eu tenho quase 99.9% certeza que ela veio com uma revista quando ainda era adolescente. Eu agora tenho 26 anos... por isso façam as contas!

D.I.Y. #2 When a Paper Towel stand becomes a Bracelet Holder

Yeah that's right, you read it right! So basically Pinterest is AWESOME! Have I ever told you how much I love Pinterest? I think I have!

So I have this board named How to organize/ideas on Pinterest and I love collecting pictures, whether to transform something, or how to do something, etc... One time I saw this picture here, which is basically like a Kitchen/Toilet Paper Towel stand and someone put a bunch of bracelet on it. BRILLIANT!

So the other day I was at a Chinese shop with my mother, spotted a metallic Kitchen Towel stand and decided to buy it.

 As soon as I arrived home over course I took all of my bracelets out of the boxes and OMG .... I have so many bracelets I never thought about it >.<

And I managed to fit about 90% of my Bracelets on there, some of them still have to live in boxes, but it's okay.

So what do you think about it?

What I'm wearing for a wedding.

I’ve been to Mozambique before, back in 2001. I have lots of family over there, from my mother and father side. This time an uncle of my is paying the tickets for me and some other family members that are living in Portugal, to go to Mozambique this December, for his son’s wedding and his 50^th anniversary.

Mozambique is on the South Hemisphere of the Earth, so while here in the North we are going from Fall/Autumn to Winter, they are going from Spring to SUMMER :P hehe. Back in August I started looking for a dress to wear on the wedding, I couldn’t leave it and start looking like now in November, cause most of the clothes are going to be winter clothes, and even if I found something that could be use in the Summer or Winter, it could be either ugly or expensive.

Anyways I bought a dress in H&M, its white and dark blue, and after that I was on a big hunt for SHOES! Again the same situation as the dress, I need to find some Summery shoes. That would match the dress, so that would be either blue or white, I found some gorgeous shoes in a store called Seaside, but the problem was that they were tttoooo hiiigh, there was no way I was gonna be able to stay all day with those shoes. So one glorious sunny afternoon, when I was coming back home – from Lisbon to Pinhal Novo – while I was making time for the next bus, I decided to check on a shoe shop at was nearby and *insert angelic music here*, I found the last pair of blue shoes size 37 in the store O_O, if that wasn’t a sign I don’t what the hell it was lol.

The shoes have studs, so I'm still in doubt with the bag, either the white one from Primark or the other one from Aldo, cause it has studs and it matches my shoes.

Aaaaannnd I'm mixing the studs, with fake pears jewlery, huummm good or bad? I know that nowadays is all about mix matching, but there's good mixing and bad mixing.

Sooo let’s go for the pictures now:

H&M dress.

 

Dark Blue shoes with studs.

White bag from Primark

 Dark greyish blue bag with studs from Aldo

I will use one these earings. Either the one with the flowers that matches one the bracelets cause it has also a flower, or maybe I will use the pair in the middle.

The ring from Primark :p I love big rings.

The two bracelets that I'm going to use. The first one I don't remember the name of the shop I got it from, and the other one is from Primark.
