Irregular Choice

My blog is about making your own stuff to make yourself unique, and Irregular Choice has some of the most unique stuff ever, these shoes being my favourite! You could, of course, make your own, but only if you have that many $100 bills; it's probably easier to just buy them from www.irregularchoice.com

Get a signature item - DIY

Polly Pocket has always been a nickname and as a kid I played with them non-stop. Which is why this necklace is my signature necklace that is special to me and not on sale which makes it all the more unique. Find something that means something to you and make it wearable! If you want to put something on a necklace like this one, drill a very narrow hole in the center of the top of your pendant and fill with superglue. Cut an eye pin  to the right length, put it in the hole and leave it to set. Then, when its secure, thread a chain through it and wear you're unique accessory when you wish. Try it with necklaces, rings, earrings or bracelets; my sister Daisy even got her signature symbol, a daisy, tattooed on her back. 
Make it your own! 

Jaguar Skills

I listen to this when I'm sewing, hotglue-gunning, sketching or just thinking up new outfits. It's the kind of track you can listen to whenever. 

DIY Collarbone denim shirt

Adjust your old denim shirt and refresh your look. 
Use a ruler and a pencil to draw the shape you're going to cut out, going in with a freehand cut is risky because you want the cut to be straight. Make a cut right in the middle of the shape and very carefully scissor out the panel making sure you get all of the material from the side of the button strip so it goes straight up onto the collar. And that's pretty much it. Tidy up the sides so that it looks neat and professional and button it up! You can create a preppy look with coloured shorts or jeans or dress it up with a body-con skirt and heels. Have fun!
Ps. the collar acts as a necklace so no need for neck accessories, but make sure you button it right up otherwise you wont get the right effect.

Animal Print Shoes

I am in the process of making a pair of shoes, and seeing as my two very favorite things are shoes and animal print, this blog is my favorite thing ever at the moment!

I'm buying some but I want to see some outfit ideas, so if you have any animal print trainer (or sneaker) outfits, I'd love to see how you pull them off!

Mad Future


I made the 'Supreme'-looking label on Powerpoint - copy and pasting specific letters from an example alphabet with the 'Supreme' font - which is by the way Futura Bold Italic if you want to use it. I also had the t-shirt made at Oasis market in Birmingham, but it's easy enough to make a 'Vogue' tee, - or anything you like - with a plain tee and some transfer paper.
