DIY Rope Necklace

   I have never actually written a "DIY project" post before, so -drum roll- this will be my very first one! #yay #special_post #super_excited
   So, i chose to make this beautiful rope necklace which is absolutely perfect for the summer time. Its neon pink colour will compliment any white/black and white/grey etc top or shirt, and will make any outfit look extra cute and girly!


   But enough with all the rambling, let's just get this party-ooops i meant this diy project- started!
   Here's what you 'll need:
  • 1m (or 3feet and 3 ⅜ inches) accessory cord
  • Glue
  • Chain (i used one from an old necklace)
  • 2 cord end caps
  • 2 jump rings
  • 1 loabster clasp
  • Pliers (i forgot to put them in the picture) 

Start by tying one regular knot at the very centre of your cord. Then, tie another one, and another one, and another one, and another one... I ended up making 7 knots, but if you want you can totally make less or even more.

Then, glue the one cord end cap at the end of your cord.


After that, with the help of your pliers, connect your cord end cap with your chain.


Lastly, glue the other cord end cap at the other end of your cord, and connect your jump rings with your lobster clasp, and your lobster clasp with your second cord end cap. And... you are done! The final result will look something like this!


Pretty quick and easy, right? #piece_of_cake

P.S. Thanks to my lovely sister for helping me out with this project!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on my first diy project!

How To Accessorize Popular Necklines

   If you ever find your yourself wondering which necklace will look the best with your top, then wonder no more dear, cause i am here to help!
   See, the truth is that not every single necklace will look good with each kind of top. So, if you like paying attention even at the smallest details -like me-, then i highly recommend you to take a good look at the following picture, and just master the "neckline-necklace" game, in no time! #yayforyougirl
   Of course, you need to keep in mind that you are totally not obligated to wear one specific necklace with one specific top, since a top can totally look cute with plenty of necklaces.
   So, with that being said, i suggest you having the following picture at the back of your mind every time you are getting ready, but again, try not to take it too seriously.
   I mean, style and fashion are supposed to be fun, right?

3) The Lion Necklace
   It's gold and it's chained, what else could i possibly ask for...?

4) The Choker Necklace

Necklaces By Themelina Panagiotou

   About two weeks ago a lovely jewellery designer, named Themelina Panagiotou, sent to me these two gorgeously looking necklaces. The truth is that i've always had a huge crush on statement necklaces, but when these two babies "arrived" i have to admit that i fall in love with them even more!

   Their simple but chic design make them perfect for day and night time, too! They are super wearable, so i thought it would be a great idea to show you two different ways ( a dressy one and formal one) that you can style them. So, shall we begin...?

Here is the first one:

   I decided to pair it with an oversized vintage sweater that has a bright blue colour, in order to really make the necklace pop! Then, i wore a black skater skirt and finished the whole outfit with some black lace-up booties. This outfit is perfect for a date or just a night out with your girlfriends!

Here is the second one:

   This one i paired it with a beige oversized sweater, just in order to make the brown detail stand out! Then i wore my favorite skinny jeans with my black ankle boots and finish everything with my black -faux- leather jacket. This outfit is super comfy, so it's perfect for running errands or just for going shopping!

   Please don't forget to check out her blog and like her facebook page! If YOU wanna buy some of her amazing jewellery, then feel free to send her a message through facebook!
   A huge thanks to Themelina for sending me her lovely creations and to all of you for reading this post!
