DIY & Lifestyle

Boohoo was one of the first online shops which I came across when I started blogging, so when I knew they were doing a DIY Campaign, I had to be on it! Boohoo asked me whether I would like to take part in the #boohooDIY Festival Campaign, which is where anyone and everyone can show their creative minds off to celebrate the launch of the new Festival Collection! I received a kit which was full of bits and bobs that I could use to re-vamp a Boohoo product, and here’s what I did!

I was able to choose the Boohoo top I wanted, so I went with the pre-‘tassled’ top, in fluro coral. (Buy it here) It is super duper bright, which means it is perfect for summer and going to festivals! Also, your friends will definitely not lose you amongst the crowds! Haha In the set was a Boohoo Lookbook (It had a poster on the back which is now in my room!), Puffy Paints, Studs, Gems and Tacky Glue.

I decided to just stick with the Puffy Paints and Gems for a simple DIY. I went for a plain pattern, (above). It wasn’t inspired by anything, I just thought of it on the spot! I used all the colours of the paints, along with 2 blue gems, and a silver one.

Puffy Paints dry 3D, so you do have to use quite a lot for it to really stand out. I glued down the gems with the tacky glue, and let it dry for 6 HOURS. Yes, it took 6 hours!! The Puffy Paints took forever to dry, but it was worth it in the end! The colours come out darker once they have set, which I really like, as before they were quite pale. I also attempted to plait the tassels, but they ended up getting all tangled up when I put on the top, so I had to un do them – this is why some of the tassels are shorter, below! The cut offs meant I was able to create a bracelet! A happy accident!

What I Wore: Roxy Tassel Hem Basic Tee in Neon-Coral (Boohoo) £10.00*, Black & Blue Laser Cut Dip Hem Skirt (ASOS) & Mint Green Trainers £7.99 (H&M).

Overall I am quite happy with my DIY skills! I think the pictures make the wobbly Puffy Paint look worse… ‘Excuses Excuses Tolly‘. I think I will be wearing this by the pool when it warms up (It was 10 degrees the other day. 10 DEGREES!), and hopefully I will be wearing shorts! I really enjoyed doing this DIY for Boohoo!

Get YOUR DIY on! Instagram (@BoohooOfficial) or Tweet (@Boohoo) using the hashtag: #boohooDIY with your creative DIY projects! You never know, you may just see your project getting loads of likes & favourites on the Boohoo social media accounts!

Last weekend, the last day of me being 12 to be precise, me and the family (excluding 3), went out to celebrate my birthday as the next day Papa Posh was off to work! We decided to go to a pretty little village and a have a bite to eat with a ‘brisk’ walk.

What I Wore: Coat (John Lewis), Embellished Lace Top €3.00 (Jumble Sale), Blue Floral Dress €2.00 (Jumble Sale), Stripey Top (St James), White Trousers, Pop Band* – on my wrist (Miss GlossyBox), Mint Green Trainers £7.99 (H&M) & Barry M Greenberry £3.99 (ASOS)
– on my nails

As you can probably tell by my blog banner, I LOVE mixing prints. I just think it is so fun and cute! I really like this dress as it’s very floaty, yet the neck line and sleeveless arms make it quite fitted. I also love this ‘Chanel-esque’ embellished top which was an absolute bargain. I knew it had to be mine, and I even got €2.00 off for haggling, oh yes. My coat is probably one of my favourites I own, as it is nice and snug, but also has cute little details like the collar, and the bow on the back. It was a little chilly that day so we had to wrap up a bit more 😉 I don’t usually like wearing trousers with dresses, but somehow this looks okay (I think) as the dress is quite floaty, and doesn’t have a plain hem.

Papa Posh making his first appereance…. well his back…. Can we just admire the beauty of these pictures. I am really enjoying my editing at the moment, and I feel like I should stick with this look. It just looks so darn pretty!

As I said we had some lunch (in the place above) which was quite yummy, but the portions were like, HUGE. The french just seem to eat, and eat and eat, but somehow never gain weight. After walking around (below pictures) we then went to a Chateaux where we shown around by the Great Grandson of the owner! He had a rather strange wart on his nose which did make me and my brother laugh though…. hehehe. After that we drove back home, stopping on the way to grab a few things and search down our surname amongst the Coca-Cola’s. Unfortunately only names like Cyril and Celine were left. 🙁

Such a pretty village! It’s called Saint-Cirq Lapopie if you’re wondering!

I had quite a nice day but sadly, as I said, we had to say bye bye to Papa Posh for a while, and celebrate my birthday via Skype! It was quite hilarious really, we had two computers set up, one with my sister and one with my dad on it. Sounds simple, but it really isn’t!

On Wednesday 29th (tomorrow – click the link!), I am off to the Style Blogger Awards, and quite literally, it is all because of YOU! The funds in which you donated was exactly £500.00 on the spot! I am really excited to meet most of the bloggers which I chat to daily, and of course see who wins the award I am up for! *fingers crossed* I come back with a win! I am sure you will know by Twitter! Of course I will be blogging all about it! The posts will be in 4 or 5 parts, starting with packing, and ending with the awards! I hope you enjoy it all!

A massive trend which was first introduced by designers such as Chanel, is Embellished Sunglasses. Whether you want studs poking out of your brows, or want a few daisies bordering your eyes, there is something for everyone! Some of these sunglasses cost a BOMB, so I’ve decided to show you how I made some for less than £3.00!! Enjoy 🙂

Wayfarer Sunglasses – 99p (eBay)//Floral Cabochons – £1.04 (eBay)

The Sunglasses in which I bought are just plain white. I went for this style as it suits me best, but I think any style would do for this DIY, as long as it has room to fit the flowers. You must get ‘Cabochons’ and NOT buttons, as they have flat backs which makes it super easy to stick on. I went for one colour as it was a bit cheaper. You could also use different things, like studs or perhaps little stars, or animals. Mix it up! It is best to use a Hot Glue Gun as it means you can take off any mistakes(?!) as the glue can come off quite easily, but still holds things down for a good amount of time.

First of all you want to heat up the Hot Glue Gun and get it so it is dripping out the end on it’s own, because it will be easier to use. Whilst you wait, think about how you will put the Cabochons on. Put a book underneath so they don’t slip off. The best designs are either across the whole brow, or just in the corners, but you could also do the sides or ‘arms’ of the Sunglasses too.

Secondly, when the Glue has melted fully, add one small dot the place you want to stick the Cabochon onto. DO NOT put the Glue on the Cabochon itself as you could burn yourself, and it may spread out and make the Glue visible when pressing it down. When pulling the Hot Glue Gun away from the glasses, pull them away from the lenses to avoid any glue going onto them. You could put a sticky note over the lenses too to make sure this doesn’t happen. Repeat this process until you have finished the design, and leave them to cool.

The complete design! Pretty cool, huh? 🙂 Make sure to be careful with them!

In total these cost me £2.03, as I already had the Glue, so at the most it will cost you £5.00! It’s super easy, and you can experiment with different designs. I think these will look great for summer, and will be a great statement to add to any outfit. This is a great thing to try out as some cost £15.00, and for £2.00, I think we all know which is the better deal! I hope you enjoyed this ‘DIY Embellished Sunglasses’ tutorial and do make sure to tweet me if you give it a whirl! Or Instagram a picture using #TDPSunnies

A while back I found an online store called Not For Ponies, and I thought it was super duper cute! It mixes basic pieces with cute twists in really good quality fabrics. Beckie at Not For Ponies was kind enough to send me 2 of the Pug Tops which are my favourite from the shop! They’re so basic yet so cute and versatile, plus there is a French Pug one!

What I Wore:French Pug T-Shirt £20.00* (Not For Ponies), Floral Hareem Trousers €3.00 (Jumble Sale), Pink Belt (Oxfam), Mint Green Trainers £7.99 (H&M), Bracelet (Primark), DIY Sunglasses £2.03 (DIY Coming Very Soon!)

Girl’s Pink Pug T-Shirt £10.00* (Not For Ponies) – This was made bigger for me.

The grey one is my favourite top of the two. I really like the grey colour as it is sort of marbley. I also LOVE the french pug! It’s not just printed on, it is sewn on so it looks a lot better and feels much better quality, and is obviously going to stay put! There was one thing I did find with the French Pug T-Shirt, is that around the edges of the pug was a sort of brown-ish orange colour, which I thought perhaps was to do with ironing, but I really don’t think it matters too much. The fabric is very soft, and feels very strong and durable, yet nice and light, and I would say it is like Topshop quality, so pretty darn good! I like how it doesn’t fit perfectly, so it feels more comfy and it also looks great tucked into baggy trousers like these ones. Mixing it with the trainers makes it feel casual and preppy, and I really like the feel of that style. It will be perfect for summer where I live, as it will be light and comfy rather than something that sticks to my body and makes me feel gross! I also love the rolled up sleeve detail, because it makes it feel a bit more ‘styled’ and edgy. Pretty much, I LOVE THEM! I would also style the Pink Pug T-Shirt with a midi skirt and a the same shoes, for a more girly look, which I am sure you will see on this blog one day soon!

Not For Ponies is a pop-inspired lifestyle brand.  Everything is designed and hand made by them in their Manchester based studio. They have become well known for their quirky applique T Shirts and Sweaters, and have been featured in National Magazines such as Company, Reveal, Heat, Now, Closer, Bella, Mizz (Tolly Dolly Posh is featured in Mizz this tomorrow! – May 16th), Shout and Love It. They are inspired by all kinds of weird, whacky, cute and quirky graphic imagery and are fuelled by Earl Grey Tea and Hobnob biscuits. Their stock caters for Women, Men and Children in a variety of sizes, and XS or XL sizes can be made up! (Like I had done for me!)

Side Note: I would just like to thank all my readers who have supported me over the past week. I can now say that on the 29th May, I will be leaving France to London, because of YOU! You are getting me tho the Company Magazine Style Blogger Awards! Thank You!

(I am very grateful that Not For Ponies sent me 2 of their products to review. 100% of the words above are true, and are no way edited for the sake of having free products. I wish Not For Ponies a very enjoyable year!)

I don’t usually do Lifestyle posts on here, but I thought I would change it up!  If I do re-decorate my room, I usually have a browse round John Lewis Home & Garden section, as it always seems to have some really cute things! So, I thought I would make a Wishlist!

John Lewis Logan Flannelette Duvet Cover in Red From £30.00, Talking Tables Truly Scrumptious Straws £4.00, Talking Tables Pink ‘n’ Mix Paper Straws in Pink £4.00,  Pioneer Drinks Dispenser in Bright Opal £15.00, Wall’s Twister Plate £5.00 & Little Home Abbey Elephant Cushion £15.00 (All from John Lewis.)

Duvet Cover:If I ever re-design my room, I think I want to go for a more simple style because at the moment, let’s just say it’s a little bit… ‘busy’. I’m not really a red person, but I think the stripes make it a bit nicer. I also like the cream colour on it, because it makes it bit less harsh than white.
Straws: These are just too cute! Look! They’re paper, and stripey! I could imagine using these for a BBQ in summer, or just for a nice addition to the dinner table!
Drinks Dispenser: Living in the South of France, there is a LOT of wine around, and in the shops, you see wine held in dispensers, which I think is pretty cool! It’s practical, it also looks cool, and it’s just more fun! Now, I am not going to be drinking any wine, but I think it would be nice to keep fresh juice in or just to put water in! Fun, pratical and cute!
Twister Plate:I LOVE TWISTERS! I seriously LOVE them, so it is not surprise that this is on my Wishlist! I wouldn’t get all of them, as for £5 it is quite a lot, but for a cool present, I don’t think you can go wrong!
Cushion:Now, I am not a child (well I am, but you get the idea), so don’t think I love kiddy things, I don’t. BUT! This cushion is soooooo cute! It has an Elephant on it! And it’s pink.. and red! It maybe from Little Home at John Lewis, but I am still putting on my list!

So, whether you’re looking for BBQ skewers, or a cute throw for your new bedroom or perhaps some pretty cushion covers, you should definitely check out the John Lewis Home & Garden section! It’s pretty cool!

As you know recently, I have been going to quite a few a lot of jumble sales recently. It’s not because my family are hoarders, it’s because you can really find some gems in the mix of things! The ‘high street’ shops where I live, really are not to my taste, so I find going to a few ‘Vide Greniers’ is worth it. 55I thought I would teach you how to shop at them! This isn’t for just French ones, it can be useful tips for the classic Car Boot in the UK, or a Garage Sale in the US. Take them and see if they work for you! (Also I would just like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Style Blogger Awards, lets just hope we get a good outcome! *Fingers Crossed*)

A Vide Grenier in the Midi Pyrenees!

Ignore Sizes & Genders: Yes, you read it right! At Jumble Sales most things will be old sizes, perhaps sizes from the 60s, 70s, etc which are different to sizes now! If you’re a size 8, don’t just look for a size 8! Something a bit bigger might look good baggy, and something a bit shorter might look cropped! Ignoring genders is also key! If you pick something up which is mens (or womens) and you like the look of it, buy it if it’s cheap!

Ask the prices: If you see something you like the look of, ask for the price! Even if it is way out your budget, or you may not ever wear or use, just ask! You never know, those old pair of vintage brogues might only be £2!

Make Do & Mend: I’m not saying do what they did in the war, but if you see something which perhaps is a bit tatty, or has a few holes, or is a bit too long, take it for a cheap price and change it up! If a skirt has a weird hem, add some lace to it! You would prefer that top with a peter pan collar? Add one! It’s cheaper than buying it new!

Haggle: If something is £7, ask for it for £5! £2, ask for it for £1! £15, ask for it for £10 or somewhere in between. Don’t worry! The worst thing that will happen is that you will get it for full price!

Take a chance: Getting back to ignoring sizes, if you don’t try something on, don’t worry! If it’s 50p and doesn’t fit, that really isn’t going to break the bank is it?!

Look out for DIY items: What I mean by this is, if there is an old box of necklaces, ask how much they would take for the whole lot. That box would be great for DIYs, as you can break of the beads and sew them onto things, or even make bracelets and other bits and bobs out of them! They’ll probably only take a fiver, so grab the chance!

Look up local Jumble Sales: Whenever we want to go out we always make sure we check out if there are any on. Even if you get there and they are packing up, or it’s the smallest ever, it might just be worth it. We sometimes get to ones, and they are all through the village!

I hope these tips were helpful! Even if you think you know how to ‘shop’, I think it’s good to know a little bit more from other people. Jumble Sales are great places for fashionista’s and, people wanting to re-vamp their style for less! (I sound like Gok Wan!) If you follow me on Instagram (TDPosh), you will be able to see what bargains I find! 🙂

Bonjourno! I hope you are well young soul! (Read this phrase again, in an Irish accent) It is that time again where I have want to show you what I have bought recently. Most of it is from Jumble Sales (Vide Greniers) but there are 1 or 2 other things in their too! All of the things I have bought recently have either been fashion related or just super cute, so here goes! A few other things I have bought recently will be in a post like this next week too!

Scarf – €0.50: Since watching Ingrid (missglamorazzi on YouTube) and Fleur (FleurDeForce on YouTube), I have fallen in love with summer scarves! This one is super soft, and has really cute colours on which match my new Keds, and it was only 50 cents, which is like… 45p?
Keds – £37.50: My new pair are b.eaut.i.ful. I have grown out of my navy blue pair, and ASOS saved me by selling me these blue floral ones for half the price than Schuh, or the Keds site.
Clear Bowl – €1.99: I use this little gem to hold my hair clips and ties. It’s from IKEA and is really simple, and has cute doily detailing on it, I blame Lisette Henry for blogging about a similar one, I seriously have fallen in love with cute bowls and plates!
China Models – €1.00 and FREE!: Ever since I bought a similar rabbit head (NOT a real one), I have kept my eyes open. I use the blue man to hold any dainty necklaces around it’s neck, and then the rabbit, I keep on my desk, which was free! 🙂 They are super cute, and add character to my room! Aw…
Floppy Hat – €2.00: I am blaming another blogger *cough cough* Megan McInn, as she simply looks gorgeous when wearing one, so I decided to try one out myself. There are plenty on eBay, but this one was there and then, and only cost me 2 euros. BARGAIN!
Style Feed: My mum got me this as an early birthday present. It’s similar to my book ‘The Style Diaries’ as it features loads of bloggers which are well established, but some you may not of heard of. In this book, the blogs are picked out by Susie Bubble, and I found out some interesting stuff. I’m not saying it’s bad, but I do prefer ‘The Style Diaries’ as it has more blogs, and more unique ones, but either are good!
Daisy Purse – €0.20: OMG. I am so glad I got this. It cost me 20 CENTS?! There were a few others, but this one caught my eye the most, as daisies are really big this season. It is also sort of ‘Marc Jacob-esque’, I think and it will look great for summer. It’s a sort of plastic material, but that means it is waterproof, and will be good for keeping my sunglasses in.

Kenzo Jungle Trousers: I bought these in this massive sports hall in a small village, where there were rows and rows of clothes. A lady selling these, asked what size I was and I didn’t really like the pattern, but I was asked to try them on. They fitted like a dream, and were comfortable. They looked nice and were Kenzo, so they were in my bag, with in a matter of seconds. €3.00 and they will look great with a t-shirt I bought at the same place (Sorry, it was still drying so I couldn’t take a picture, but it’s got an elephant on it!)
Yellow Floral Skirt: My mum picked me up this. I think it’s really cute, and will look great with a frilly blouse, and my new House of Holland socks (Darn, forgot to photograph them!). I have a pink one similar, but I love the colour yellow, so this is even better!
H Morgan Demin Jacket – €0.50: I haven’t owned a Denim Jacket for ages. The last one I had was when I was about 6 (The one here.) and I finally found one! It’s a little bit too short, but will be a nice ‘cropped’ size for summer. I will be wearing this A LOT. Plus, it was under a euro.. soo… I’m a happy chicken 🙂
Black and White Trainers – €5.00: Oops. I may have bought another pair of shoes… These are quite unusual actually, as they are converse style, but have a pointed toe, and are also shiny. I thought I’d get them for a bit of a change up, you know, try a new style and all!
Dr Martens 1460s Black Shimmer Boots – €30.00: YUP! If you don’t know already (Somebody obviously didn’t read my last post…) I now own a pair of Dr Martens! Yes, these babies slipped onto my feet yesterday and I love them! My dream was to get a black pair, but I couldn’t really say no, as these are my size and very cheap. They are sort of grey-ish, green-ish black metallic colour which I have decided, I LOVE! Seriously cannot wait to wear these. Don’t think I will be in a hurry though, it’s chucking it down 🙁

What exciting thing is happening this June & July? Yes, you guessed it! The Posh Fashion Awards! Coming soon to a blog near you! Tweet & Share the word!

On March 29th 2012, exactly one year ago, the very first post of the Tolly Dolly Posh Fashion blog was published. It is now March 29th 2013, and I am proud to say, I have been blogging for one whole year. If you don’t want to read this post, don’t, because it is going to be filled with hundreds of Thank Yous, and lots of memories, so you are free to keep on scrolling down the page… (GIF via Tumblr)

My dream is to become a Fashion Designer as you know, and that is one of the reasons I started this blog. I don’t want it to be the only reason though, I don’t want it to be how I get ‘famous’. My plan in life is not to be famous, but to just be somewhere I am happy, and somewhere I am proud of myself. But, the blog has been the start of that, it’s the little seed that hopefully one day, will grow into a colourful flower, just like me. I’m only starting out my life too, I’m 12 years old, and I have still got an awful lot to learn. Again, my age isn’t something I want people to read my blog for. I want people to read it because they enjoy reading it. I want them to ignore my age whilst reading it, and then afterwards remember, that I am only 12. I hope that if you are a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly reader, that you do enjoy reading my blog, and seeing what I have accomplished in 1 year, I think, perhaps, just maybe, you might? So here’s the soppy, thank you part.

TOLLY INT

 I don’t want to boast, this is about sharing the successes which you have made possible for me. Okay, okay, I have made some of it possible myself (I do write the blog, you know?!), but the only reason I can get recognised is because of all of you support me, and believe that I can reach my dreams. My first big achievement was being My Celebrity Fashion’s Blogger of The Week, which was awesome! Thank You to all the team at MCF! The next one was being on Superstar Fashion Network which has over 44,000 likes on Facebook, Thank You! I have also been on Wantering as a Trendsetter which was so amazing, as I had over 130 re-blogs on their blog which was mind boggling! Thank You!! I was also nominated for a MADs Blog Award for 2013, which was amazing! (Good Luck to the finalists!) As you know March 16th for me was another amazing day! I was featured in The Telegraph Magazine that was literally insane. I cannot thank Jessica Salter who wrote the article, enough. Thank You!! Then, to have woken up last Saturday morning, to receive an email saying BBC Radio 4 would like me to speak on the ‘iPM‘ show, just made my life even more complete! WOWZA! (Click the player above to listen!) And! In even more recent news (yesterday), I tweeted an illustration of David Bowie, and it was RTed & Instagrammed by Iman (David Bowie’s Wife) who is a Fashion Designer! Thanks Iman! In a couple of weeks time I have a pretty exciting thing happening too, which you may already know about… Yes, Tolly Dolly Posh is going to be featured in Mizz Magazine! In the very next issue (the exact date will be revealed soon), you will find my face! You may not be a teen, but I used to read this magazine (when I was in the UK), and my sister used to when she was my age too, so it really is awesome!
So far in ways of stats and followers, my PB for stats is 530 which isn’t much for some bloggers, but I literally do not care, that is amazing! I have built up over 920 Followers across Facebook, Twitter, BlogLovin’ HelloCotton, and GFC. Again, I seriously just want you to know, I don’t want to boast. I am just telling you that you have supported me so much through all of these amazing achievements.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that I am 12 and don’t have the biggest of budgets, I couldn’t do a massive give-away, but there has been one on! It’s a little thank you for supporting me and my blog as we go on our little journey! Congratulations to the winner!

The Winner of The Harts & Crosses Earring Give-Away is…
