DIY: BRAIDED TASSEL NECKLACE

Tassels are a total must this summer. It's a creative and easy way to add a pop of color to your look. On shoes, bags, dresses, tops, belts, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.  Lately I've been seeing these bright accessories everywhere so I decided to put a summery twist and make one by myself.

You need:

• 2 x 30 cm fringe trim (you can also use 2 large tassels to make things even easier)
• Thread
• Glue

How to:

1. Make a simple braid. I used 12 x 115 cm thread pieces to get 80 cm length braid.

2. Start to glue your braided rope with a fringe trim.

3. Wrap around the braid and fix it.

4. Decorate it as you prefer. I wrapped a thread around the tassel's 'head' to cover it and added a few beads. And you are done!

If you are not into making it by yourself, I've selected some great alternatives:

SHOPPING: SUMMER HATS

Do you wear hats during the summer? I can't get enough of them. Last week I went to buy a new one with the intention to walk out of the store with a floppy beauty, but I ended up with a really great boater hat. How? I've just tried them all and the boater hat was the winner! Also because I already own a panama and floppy one but don't tell this to anyone :)

Anyway, if you're looking to protect your skin, to add a stylish finish to your jeans and tee combo or to look flirty in your summer dress, hats are a must-have accessory this summer that will keep you stunning in the shade all season long.
I'm in love with Free People hats, Urban Outfiters also has a lot of great choices.

I have selected a few different (and my favorite) styles that might just be perfect for you. So let's get started and let me know which is your favorite style of hats.

SHIRT DRESS

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a nice week so far! I can't believe that it's been so long since my last post here. I guess I just needed to take a break from blogging but I am back! I am also planning to post more DIY projects, shopping advises, recipes and so on since now so stay tuned!

How is your summer going so far? It's been so hot here lately. We took these images last week and I must say I have finally found a perfect shirt dress. I was looking for a more solid texture and this dress is so. I also wore it over a t-shirt and cutoffs and it looked great! This time I paired it this Adidas Stan Smith sneakers and a cross-body triple bag from Mango for a casual look. Do yo like the result? How do you usually wear your shirt dress?
