DIY
It’s possible to do the ombre effect on shorter hair you just need a little bit of time and some good hair colors.
Actually,I did not recommend this Collage dye from Lakmé at all for this look, it ended up way too light :/
So these were the dyes that I used:
Now the simplified step-by-step:
1.I have bleached hair so I’m just coloring to get that effect.
2. Section your hair and dye the upper part with the darker red/orange
3. The bottom part – divide the hair into small pieces and just color the upper part with your lighter color leaving the ends out of the process.
End result :
Ta-dah! It’s super easy ^-^
I’ve been doing some necklaces these days, trying some different ideas.

Getting Out Of This World With a Galaxy Print!
This is what you need:
- t-shirt/sweatshirt
- gloves
- bleach
- Spray bottle
- Makeup sponges and some textil paint (in this case I just used black,White and Blue)
- Old toothbrush
- Pour the bleach into the spray bottle and spray as desired.
Once dry, apply with a make-up sponge some black ink around the bleached areas.
And then add some blue.
To finish add some white to the center of the bleached area to give it that extra glow effect and add the stars with the help of a toothbrush.
Ideas for renewing old tshirts!

Ideias para renovar t-shirts velhas!
It’s all about recycling old clothes.
Sometimes I just go to second hand shops and buy t-shirts with cool prints just to take the print and make something out of it. This is one of that cases.
I had a frilly tunic as well that was really old and that was sitting on the closet for a while now so I decided to combine both on a black tunic.
You can buy a cheap basic t-shirt and create something with your old materials and voilá you have a new & original garment.
So this is how I did it:
*
A base está na reciclagem de roupas velhas.
Às vezes vou a lojas segunda mão só para comprar t-shirts com estampas giras para que depois possa fazer alguma coisa com isso. Este é um dos que os casos.
Eu tinha uma túnica com folhos há já algum tempo e decidi aproveitar os folhos e combinar com a estampa numa túnica preta.
Pode-se comprar uma t-shirt básica barata e misturar com materiais antigos e voilá ficas com roupa nova e original.
Então foi assim que eu fiz:
Os materiais: Roupa velha
Prendi a estampa com pins e comecei a coser, deixei pouca margem na estampa para que pudesse coser por cima com linha colorida.
The supplies that you need: 2 adjustable rings, 4 pyramid studs, Plastic scrap , a piece of fake leather (remains of some belt,etc), scissors , needle, thread & super glue.
*
Materiais necessários: 2 anéis ajustáveis, 4 tachas pirâmide, restos de plástico, um pedaço de couro falso (restos de algum cinto, etc), tesoura, agulha, linha e super-cola.

I bought this toy camera on a toy store already with the idea of making it into a necklace, and if you’re into to big necklaces this is a quick way to do it. You can buy a similar toy camera on carnival, toy and dollar stores.
And then you just need: a needle, wire rings, chain and pliers.
Quick and easy!

Eu comprei esta máquina de brincar já com a intenção de a tornar num colar e se gostam de colares grandes esta é uma maneira simples e rápida de fazer um. Máquinas semelhantes a esta podem-se encontrar nas lojas do chinês e nas lojas de carnaval (visto que esta era uma bisnaga).
E depois só precisam de uma agulha, anéis de arame, uma corrente e um alicate.
Simples e rápido!

Sometimes when things go on sale you just see a bunch of crap standing there and you miss the possibilities of creating something new and unique or even buy something to boost a piece that you already have.
For example this necklace:
- Had something going for it but it was lacking something. And something as simple as a cheap pair of earrings gave it the boost needed. For about 5€ we have a necklace that looks way more expensive, don’t you think?

Às vezes quando é época de saldos/promoções só conseguimos ver um monte de porcaria à nossa frente e muitas vezes passa-nos ao lado a oportunidade de fazermos algo novo e único ou até mesmo comprar alguma coisa para melhorar algo que já possuimos.
Por exemplo este colar :
- Tinha potencial mas estava-lhe a faltar qualquer coisa. E algo tão simples como um par de brincos baratos deu-lhe as peças certas para melhorar imenso o look. Por 5€ ficou um colar que aparenta muito mais, não acham?*
