Flower Child: DIY Flower Crown

I am a fan of  Lana Del Rey! Her music and her style is just awesome! One Sunday when I was enjoying my daily dose of Ms. Rey, I got the great idea of channeling my inner Lana by making a flower crown.

I used items I found in my house to make it and it came inreally  handy for Halloween (I went to my Rotaract Club's Halloween Lyme as Katy Perry in her "Roar" video).

I gathered an assortment of flowers from around my house

I used my tape measure to find the circumference of my head. I then took an elastic band (I found in my sewing kit) and cut the diameter + 5 inches extra to allow me to tie the crown

I aligned the flowers in the order I wanted

I used a needle & thread to secure the flowers on the elastic

Here is the finished flower crown!
I'm feeling Electric tonight...

Lana Del Rey is simply...AWESOME

“I used to wonder if it was God's plan that I should be alone for so much of my life. But I found peace. I found happiness within people and the world.”

Revamping An Old Bag

The other day I found one of my favourite purses, a mini hobo Guess purse I have had for almost 10 years. I wasn't ready to part ways with it so i decided to turn it into a little DIY project!

I removed the original shoulder strap and replaced it with a chain. It gives the old girl a fresh and edgy upgrade. Let me know what you think!

ACMATIC Listening Session!

I am a huge Alternative music fan! It was my constant companion when I was having a rough time in my life. So I was more than delighted when on Tuesday April 23rd, 2013, I was given the chance to attend Acmatic's Listening Session at Big Yard Studio in Kingston, thanks to my amazing award winning Music Blogger friend Wade from http://13thstreetpromotions.wordpress.com/. The session began at 6:30 pm but unfortunately my friend Leethan & I arrived late (an hour late to be exact!). However we were able to catch three really good songs from the Almost Famous EP. The session was pure #dopeness, Check out the review here.

Acmatic is a band I love! I have been listening to their music awhile now &  I love that despite being Jamaican and surrounded by Reggae & Dancehall, they have been able to make music that transcends the Jamaican cliche! Their music has personality and you can't help but rock out when you hear it.

It was an awesome experience & I would do it every night in a heartbeat!

Many thanks to Wade & Leethan.
