boho is back! part1


Hello dinocorns! Long time no talk... There's plenty of excuses I could use but I'm not going to bother, were just going to dive right in!

So Summer is fast approaching, and rumour has it, bohemian is the new black! Today I will be showing you some super chic boho looks that you can find on the Highstreet! 

 
These super cute and comfortable harem pants are from H&M, and with a budget friendly price of £12.99, you don't need to break the bank to be stylish this summer! (Colours and styles may vary, also will sell out quickly!) 

Also avaliable from H&M is this awesomely printed kimono, priced at £29.99. This short sleeved kimono in  woven fabric is light and comfortable for any season to come!

Moving over to monsoon, and boy do they have some treats for you! This uber stylish maxi dress is slightly on the pricer side, at £79, but if you're in to this type of theme then it's worth the investment! This vintage-inspired Milly maxi dress is printed with an all-over geo tile-print design, and cinched at the waist with a tie-up string belt. Sheer half-length sleeves and a softly-gathered skirt create a soft, fluid look. 

Flaunting a relaxed, folk-inspired feel, this smock-style top is styled with pulled thread work, lace panels and pin-tuck details. Full-length peasant sleeves and co-ordinating string ties add an extra touch of vintage style. Tuck it into a pair of high-waisted jeans and wear with sandals for a pretty daytime look. Priced at £39 from monsoon. 

That's all for today! 
Amrasaurus!

DIY with Washi tape2

Hiya, Daisycorn here!

So you may have read my last Washi tape DIY ( http://unicornasaurus.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/diy-with-washi-tape-1.html ) this time around, I'll be teaching you a really: simple, cute and effective way to design and create beautiful greetings cards to give to friends and family on any occasion. You could even use this method to make a "thank you" card for your favourite teachers, as it is approaching the end of the school year.

Equipment:
                      -Plain card
                      -washi tape
                      -printer paper
                      -gel pens and sparkly things (optional)


Method:

1| Print or draw out a basic shape onto the the printer paper. This will later be the design on your card. DO NOT CUT OUT THE IMAGE!

2| Cover the picture in alternate strips of Washi tape. Do this on the back of the printer paper so that you can still see what the shape is meant to look like. Also only cover the part of the paper that you're using so that you don't waste your tape.

3| Now  carefully cut out the shape.

4| Stick the design onto the card- so that only the Washi side is showing. You could experiment with where you place the design.

5| You could now extend the design be adding details in gel pen or other decorative extras. In the image above, I places rhinestones down the body of the butterfly and at the top of the antenna's- which I drew on in gel pen. If you placed the design in the corner, you might decide to write the person's name in the centre of the card using glitter glue or stickers.

6| repeat the process on other cards so that you have an emergency stack, ready for any event!

I hope you have fun presenting your very own cards to the special people in your life!
