Surf's Up

Yes, I know it's the 12th of January and that winter will stay with us for a few months, but I can't help it to desperately want summer! I'm also totally obsessed with Kassia Meador, a pro surfer, model and photographer. And so I find myself in the middle of winter swooning over these pictures and thinking of bikinis and sun and sea... Here's a taste of her photography:

Cool, huh? You should defenitely have a look at her site. Now we're already talking about surfing, I love this video for Roxy spring 2011:

It makes me want to ride the waves, although I'm terrible at surfing. Maybe I should take lessons during the summer...
However, I am totally sure about my summer soundtrack: Eliza Doolittle! You must've heard from this British beauty. She is so freakin' talented, her songs will make you happy! She has a unique voice, and great style too. She always wears these high waisted shorts paired with cropped tees and sneakers.

I love this vid where she sings the song 'Yellow' from Coldplay in her tour bus driving through L.A.

A surfing road trip, anyone? :)

I wish to embellish!

A lazy sunday, nothing better to do (not entirely true (read: schoolwork); it's time for a DIY! I'm already looking forward to summer, and because of all the spring fashion, I can't wait until temperatures start rising. As I am currently obsessed with sequined and embellished shorts, I decided to transform my beat up cut off jeans shorts into a more glamorous garment. Embellished shorts appeared on the Balmain runway:

And also in the Topshop 'Behind the scenes at our spring 2011 shoot' video (watch around 0:50)
All you need for this DIY is a pair of jeans shorts, a lot of old jewellery, brooches and beads, a pair of scissors and needle and thread.

I also used old earrings to adorn the shorts:

This was the result of one afternoon hard work:

I created a casual army look around my new shorts, can't wait to wear this during summer...

Top and shirt: H&M, sunglasses: Ray Ban, shoes: Topshop, bag: vintage, shorts: were once Only jeans.

I can recommend this DIY, it's not difficult and fun to do! Let me know what you think.
