Bloomin' lovely vintage find...

This is the super bargain of a shirt I picked up the other day in a vintage/charity shop. Managed to snatch it up for a mere £3.  
As you can see I am not wearing shoes in the pic due to rushing about and I only just had time to take this snap before running out of the door.

Shirt- £3 Vintage
Shorts- Levis (def getting their wear at the moment)
Shoes- none! Obvs. I put some on before I left the house...I'm not that mental  :)
I am in the process of doing a healthy eating plan (a.k.a a crash diet) as I only have 10 days left until I head to Spain for Benicassim festival. The calorie counter app on my iphone has now become my bible and local people may even spot me running/cycling in an attempt to get beach ready. Yes that running girl wearing her boyfriend's sports gear, red in the face and nearly passing out is in fact me. haha

A letter to Summertime...

Dear British Summertime,
 I am fed up of this weather!!! In June I expect to be living in my bikini and flip flops.The tan I had from the heat-wave has faded away and I am forced to fake tan again which is costing me money and ruining my boyfriend's carpet! boooo.
I have also had to dig out my tights from the back of my drawers and am fed up of rainy hair!
This is truly unacceptable!!

Love Rian

D.I.Y studded shorts...

After lusting after Rihanna in her studded shorts at Coachella I decided to stud some shorts of my own.
My blue cut-off Levi's shorts are seriously too short to wear without tights so I have been keeping my eye out for a longer pair that I can wear with bare legs this summer.

I managed to pick up these awesome black ones from a vintage shop in Cardiff for just £20 which is waaaaay better than the over-priced versions you can get in Urban Outfitters. The studs were approx.
 £8 for 50 (including p&p) from Ebay



I marked out where I wanted to place the studs wih masking tape and a good ole' faithful Sharpie pen,

 Using this weird pointy tool that I found in my Bf's random 'odd-job' draw (do all men have these??!!) I carefully pierced the denim whilst being careful to keep the hole smaller than the stud back as you don't want them to slop all over the place or become loose.

 I decided to put a row of studs along the seam that runs down each leg and also across the top of the back of the shorts so that there is a little 'stud action' from all views. I then simply pushed the stud-back through from the under-side and then screwed the stud cones on as tightly as I could manage.


I can't wait to wear these bad boys once the weather picks up a bit
