Find some rope.

I found a whole lot of this cord/ rope stuff, it's sort of a bit like what you would use for a drawstring in a top, jacket or hoody!

Anyway, I found it and thought what can I use this for...? Now I use it for EVERYTHING!

I tie it in a bow round my neck, I use it as a belt, a headband, wrap it round my wrist...the options are endless!

I have it in cream/white and also grey, and I seriously LOVE it!

You can get it from places like spotlight, or any sewing store I'm pretty sure!

Find some rope!

make a turban headband.

Success!

I made my own velvet turban headband! And, it was actually really easy!

Essentially I just made two tubes, one big and one small, then I turned them inside out, wrapped the small one around the big one and voila!

I actually hand stitched it too, so you don't even have to get out a sewing machine!

Go on, make a turban headband!

do the headband turban.

Two of my favourite new things in one photo; asos.com and the headband turban.

I am obsessed with asos.com, and it's free shipping to New Zealand! Woohoooo! You can also go on and make outfit and looks pages, and of course shop! A dangerously good website!

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to make my own headband turban, hopefully out of velvet...

BRACE YOURSELVES...

Costume jewellery!

I LOVE IT! Go to vintage markets and go wild! All of these bangles are from vintage markets or my Christchurch theatre schools costume section! The ring was $1.50 in Newtown!

Go out and get some costume jewellery!!!! NOWWWWW!

wear the ribbon.

The ribbon, an oh so cheap but oh so essential part of my wardrobe!

A friend actually gave me this one from the wrapping of a present! I wear it with every collared shirt I own, and I also wear it as a belt!

My aim is to get a vast array of colours for every occasion!

Wear it with a sheer shirt tucked into high waisted jeans, and boots.

Wear the ribbon.
