DIY Button Fun

Dress- Monki
Bag- eBay
Necklace- Miss Selfridge
Bracelet- DIY (button)
Rings- JWLRY
Watching- How I Met Your Mother 
Apologies for the absolutely awful photo quality, do not know what went wrong, but something did.
So quick outfit chat then onto the DIY... 
*     This is one of favorite dresses just now, I have had it for ages but just not really worn it. I got it from Monki in the sale for about 17Euro so that's about £12 or something? Anyway I love it, what I love most is it has POCKETS!!!! I adore dresses with pockets, don't ask me why because I don't know but I love love love them. I also really like the pattern, from a distance it looks like polka dots but at a closer look some of the dots are replaced with balls of words. Its so cute. The bag was an eBay find and reminds me of the YSL clutches but a big version so for £15 you cant really go wrong. Obviously its pleather (pretend leather) and it also came from Korea but delivery took just over a week which is amazing for over seas postage and with the bank holiday. 
*      So continuing DIY week my friend Fiona and I decided it would be fun to revisit the fabric shop in town and find something to make... we fell in love with all the buttons there was and at prices as low as 10p per button BUT we were pleasantly surprised to find a "bargain button box" loads of buttons for just 5p each, 5 PENCE!!! We bought lots...

We also bought a meter of super strong elastic for 59p and decided to make some button bracelets, we also bought some glittery string to make friendship bracelets but I will put up a post with them tomorrow.  
So for as little as £3 we have enough elastic and buttons to make our button friendship bracelets and they turned out so cute, someone in Marks and Spencer even asked me where I got it, DIY SCORE!!!

I am having so much fun with this DIY week, any ideas would be really appreciated? Maybe some links to some YouTube tutorials?
Comment below and give me some ideas...please.

Beans and Sausages

Cardigan-Topshop, Shirt- Monki, Leggings- Topshop, Necklaces- HM, Rings- JWLRY&ASOS

The post arrived this morning and I was super excited to open my parcel, it was my first ever purchase from Monki so I was looking forward to trying it out. I bought the white boy fit shirt, so happy with it. Its a good length to be worn with leggings or even on its own as it covers all the necessary parts and its so comfy and loose so could be easily worn from day to night. Chuffed. Was a bit worried about ordering from a shop I had ordered from before, quality, size, fit etc are always something to keep in mind. I ordered the shirt in M/L as I like to wear things big (not a fan of the bodycon) it maybe is a wee bit to big so should of gone for the XS/S but I still love it. So either the sizes are bang on or a bit big. I will probably go for XS/S when I repurchase... which I no doubt will. The quality is pretty good too, the material is soft and comfy, only thing is the shirt is a bit thin so would have to wear something underneath. They have so many nice dresses that I already have on my wish list :-P
Not doing much today, nip to town and get some bits and I have a mountainous pile of washing to try and get at least half way through by tomorrow as I've got my old work mates (Topshop) coming over for pizza and a gossip.
These pictures make me look super short I think, or maybe its because I usually have a slight heel on. 
Totally unrelated but does anyone know when the SAAS loan date is?
