Rag & Bone DIY Project

When I saw this editorial campaign, my heart skipped a beat. The concept is simple, you have one model, Rag & Bone clothes, no make up and they use their own camera to take the photos for the next advertising campaign.

The outcome, is stunning. Despite the girls in question being top models who are internationally known for their looks, the images are realistic and inspiring. You are offered a sneaky glimpse into their lives and for once, you have an advert that screams honesty.

These are a few of my favourites:

Fashion DIY: Handmade Beach Bag

Everyone needs a beach bag for the beach, so why not make your own beach bag?? This bag I made is so simple but is super useful and really easy to make. All you need is two rectangular pieces of fabric to make the two sides, a small rectangle to make the base and two long strips of fabric to make the straps, plus any embellishment you would like. I have reworked the nautical theme and instead of using blue, used my favourite colour, pink!!! I look forward to seeing your creations!!!

DIY Knitted Scarf

This scarf is really simple to make once you have mastered the basic knit stitch and it keeps you really warm in the harsh winters.


You will need:
4 balls of chunky wool (50g or 100g depending on the length you want) suitable for 10mm needles
10 mm needles


Cast on 15 stitches
Knit until the 4 balls of wool are nearly finished
Cast off with the remaining wool.


It's that simple!!
