Happy Billy Idol Day!

Happy Billy Idol Day (or whatever you celebrate) everyone!

_1290580

For those of you who haven’t been reading for very long, we celebrate Billy Idol Day because we are not religious and Billy Idol rocks. I’m not into big holidays or celebrations but I sure love Billy Idol’s music so we compromise on this!

Our plans for the day are pretty much to kick back and relax. Last year we had everyone over for a big meal but this year we are so tired from the year that we’re just going to be really low key. Have a lot of candy and snacks and of course play our yearly Billy Idol Day video game! This year it’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag which is so far…. ok XD

No matter what you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful day and you spend it doing something you really enjoy!

Happy Billy Idol Day (or whatever) from our family to yours!

DIY Glitter Jeans Shorts Tutorial

Just a really quick way to jazz up some old shorts today. I don’t wear shorts very often but I’ve been liking them more lately for around the house. I had some boring ones which were laying around so I decided to make them a little more fun so they didn’t feel as much like pyjamas and I could feed my lazy inspiration addiction a bit.

 

For this tutorial you will need:

  • Old shorts
  • Glitter
  • Fabric glue
  • Chain (optional)
Lay your shorts out and make sure to put some paper down first so it’s easier to clean up later.
You need fabric glue for this, something which is washable. I’m using one from Helmar and it works really well. I’ve put these through the wash several times now and nothing has gone astray.
Paint a thick line of glue onto your fabric and make sure it gets into the fibres as much as you can.
Sprinkle glitter over the top. If you want to make sure it’s going to stick, you can mush it into the glue with your finger but that can get a bit messy!
Continue all over the jeans. I decided to only do one front panel and a back panel. I also added some gold chain around the edges to give it even more bling.
Once it’s completely dry (leave it over night if possible) set it through the washing machine with nothing else in there to get rid of any stray glitter.
All done! Comfy and much more sparkly! Sparkle for the win!
Definitely feeling a little more fancy at home now though probably not enough to actually wear those heels all the time >_>

Glitter for the win! Hope you guys enjoyed the quick craft!

Violet’s New Dream Apartment – Snapshots

As a special treat for my birthday (yes that’s how long it takes me to write these >_>) Celina and Tobias took us to my new all time favourite restaurant: The Conservatory.

The whole place was exactly how I want my house to look. But you know, with less strangers and wait staff. I would probably put in a 4th chocolate fountain too because, you know, you can never have too many chocolate fountains.

It’s kind of modern French wile still being very art deco inspired.

All mirrors and white marble as far as the eye can see.


James enjoyed it because it’s a buffet and if there’s one thing James loves, it’s eating more than his own weight.

The food was delicious and super fancy.



I tried mussels and oysters and decided I actually like them…

Even if they look quite disgusting.


I did have a minor moment where I thought this was avocado not wasabi but luckily I didn’t take any >_>


 

James decided to try cracking his own lobster claws and only hurt himself like 3 times. Progress!

 

You can see more of my future house in the background there!

The boys had to sit on the window side so we had the better lighting XD

Such class. Wow.

 

Future apartment sure has nice chandeliers. I’ll probably have to get rid of the Best Wishes balloons though..



So did we talk about dessert yet? Because holy bajeebus dessert.

ALL OF THEMMMMM.

And there were 4 flavours of chocolate fountain *_*

Why can’t I live here??

On the way out when we were in food coma mode we tried to find a particular elevator in which we had taken the only photo ever where both Celina and I looked great at once. We found the elevator but they had replaced the lighting with this…

While we did manage to find another one apparently we’re cursed because every shot we took was out of focus. Elevator curse!

I don’t even know what’s going on here?

But fall sure is pretty… unlike James.
