My room is obviously something I spend a lot of time in, so I want to make it the best place possible. I love watching DIY videos on Youtube to try and find new ideas for  my room and it is always changing! I really want to redo my room completely this year (although I said this last year!) so I thought I would share with you my favourite parts of my room, maybe it could give you some inspiration! Last year I also posted a room tour which you can read here if you want to see my whole room. 

My first favourite bit is my photo wall. This took me quite a while to do but I am so pleased with the outcome. To achieve it, I printed photos out and then stuck them onto my wall with blutack so it was so simple. I feel like this really adds my personality to my room and I love that. 

Something else that I love is on the wall opposite my 'photo wall'. I have my bunting displayed and pictures of 5SOS that I got from the concert I went to. I made the bunting in one of my first blog posts and I still have it almost after 2 years! If you want to read how I made it you can here. It was so simple and adds a lot to my room.

The last place in my room that I like is the top of my drawers, which is where I keep my cacti and a few photo frames with quotes. My 2016 memory jar is also on here as a reminder of all the memories from that year. This is the only area of my room I try to keep clutter free but most of the time it doesn't work!

What are yout favourite parts of your room?

Today I decorated my room for Christmas and I thought I would show you how I do it! Sorry for the shorter post today but I hope you enjoy the video.

I always find that secret santa's can be really hard to buy for, especially if you don't know the person that well. On top of that, there is usually a budget which can make it quite hard to buy something. I would definitely recommend doing these ideas if you are doing a secret santa because I think most people would like these. 

So for today's blog post I tried something a bit different. I had planned to do a room tour but I didn't want a post which was super long as it would have had 2885 pictures. Instead I filmed bits my room, created a video and uploaded it to youtube. I hope you liked this format!

I have recently rediscovered Pinterest and something that I have been loving is making your own summer clothes! I like doing DIY things and also saving money on clothes because cute ones can be very expensive.  I thought I would  share with you some of my favourite ideas!

This post is also a collab with my lovely friend White Interiors. She is also doing DIY summer clothes so make sure to check her post out after you read this one

Idea #1: Patchwork shorts - image credit

This one is really simple. Glue/sew fabric or lace or even paint on the back pocket or your shorts to renew them! This is such a sweet idea and I definitely want to do this. It adds a different touch to an otherwise regular pair of shorts and it is so customisable.

Idea #2: Swimsuit cover up - image credit

Take a vest made out of thick material and cut the bottom half into strands. The next bit is kind of hard to explain but if you split the strands into pairs with the strands next to each other, then tie them in a knot. After that, split the strands again and tie. (If that doesn't make sense look at the pictures!)

Idea #3 Crop top - image credit

This would be ideal if you had a tshirt with a design you really like and create it into a summer outfit. To make this, cut along the shirt like in the picture above and then tie the two bits hanging down together. 

I am definitely going to give all of these a go. I might even try cutting my jeans into shorts and then adding fabric to them! 

What is your favourite DIY from this post?

Already this year, I have got quite a few memories and one is when I created a blog header for Girl0bsessed. I really enjoyed making this so please feel free to contact me if you want me to make you one too!

This is a great gift for a friend if they are into beauty or pampering. Basically fill a jar with nail polish and face masks and chocolate and face masks and all things nice so when they aren't feeling too great they can pamper themselves and be reminded of how good a friend you are.

Brownie in a jar

For this one, you find a brownie recipe and put all the dry ingredients in a jar like flour, sugar, coco powder and then write the recipe on a label and tie it round the jar with a cute ribbon. This looks so cute and works for anyone because who doesn't like free brownies??

(not my picture)

There's endless possibilities with photo frames and I always love trying new ideas so I was like, why not put  leaves in a photo frame??? This way you can have a touch of nature on your desk and appreciate the beauty of it. 

I absolutely love room decor and I hope this inspired you 

Lots of love
