I bought a grey maxi skirt from Boohoo a week ago and this is how I've worn it so far. The first look was to The Performance House where I teach - I wore a black vest, white cropped Lady Gaga top and and khaki scarf.

The next look was when we went out for my Dads birthday, a black vest, pink beaded crop top and a blue blazer!

As you may have seen on my twitter  yesterday I tried tartan nails! I though it was a perfect winter look so here is my tutorial.  Enjoy!

You will need:

• 4 nail varnishes (I used light blue, dark blue, white and red)
• Top coat
• A cocktail stick/nail art pen

Step 1:  Paint a layer or two of your base colour onto the whole of your nail.

Step 2.Paint a strip of white across the lower third of your nail, if you are using a thin nail varnish then apply two coats.  I have seen this done before with acrylic paint as it is thicker, but it can be hard to find.

Step 3. Paint a darker blue strip across the top, middle and bottom of the white strip using either a cocktail stick or nail art pen.

Step 4.  Paint with again, the blue two lines using a cocktail stick or nail art pen vertically on the left side of your nail.

Step 5. Using the red to contrast, paint a horizontal line in the top third of your nail, crossing over a vertical line.   

Step 6.  Repeat and enjoy!

Thank you! And let me know how it goes if you try it.

In this day and age people are looking to methods of recycling that they may not have ever even considered before to make the most out of their clothes.  This week I've caught onto dyeing.

A quick and easy way to re use old clothes that no longer fit is to make cushions out of them.

All time of school after GCSE has given me a lot of time to get creative!
