DIY: Mockingjay Pin

Hi!

We don't have to wait much for the second film from The Hunger Games to be in the cinema! This November we will finally know what happens to Katniss and Peeta after they've won The Hunger Games (exept for those who read the book, they know already :p ). I think we are all fans of the amazing first movie and also of Katniss' Mockingjay Pin. This pin is the perfect way to show everyone how much you love this movie! Maia has got one form claire's for €6.95 but ofcourse you can buy them at Etsy.com too (not only pins, but also bracelets, necklaces,...). Another option is to make one yourself. On youtube you find a lot of tutorials to make them from paper or clay, but we've tried out one for wich you only need the ring of a waterbottle, a needle or toothpick, gold nailpolish, paper, a pencil and a hot glue gun. So this will not cost a lot of money or take a lot of time! Here's the tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4rqwAY0Lg And here's our creation:



Cute, isn't it! Do you have a mockingjay pin? Were did you bought it or how did you made it? Let us know!

Double Braided Crown

Hi!

On WeHeartIt we found this very cute tutorial for a double braided crown. Here's the tutorial:

Take a look at our WeHeartIt account for more tutorials like this! As always we tried it on straight and curly hair and here's what it looked like on Femke's curly hair:

On curly hair it goes very well because it doesn't fall out. Femke's hair has the perfect length to do this. And here's what it looked like on Maia's straight hair:

On Maia's hair it was a bit harder, because her hair falls out the braid very fast. So with curly hair it goed better.

If we could only keep 5 shoes

Hi,

As you already know, we're big fans of Evelina Barry! And friday she posted this video: "If I could only keep 5 shoes". Every women loves shoes, right? But what if you could only choose 5 shoes? We really liked the idea of this video so we decided to make a post with our 5 favorite shoes. These are Femke's 5 shoes that she loves the most:

Every girl should have a pair of flats, they're comfy and cute. Femke loves these moustache flats from the Zara. She would never give them away!

Sneakers are a must too. Vans are the most populair sneakers so Femke bought these pair of gray vans a year ago. It's very funny, she bought them and a month later there where like 30 girls at her school with the exactly the same Vans. Now they're a little worn, but she still loves them very much. 

This summer Femke bought these sandals in the H&M and she really likes them.

Last winter these kind of boots with heels very very populair. Femke bought these in a little shop in Bree(Belgium). She wore them so much, because they're very soft, warm and comfy but also so pretty! We think that these kind of boots will do very good this winter too, so Femke will definitely wear them this winter! 

Maybe you remember these? Femke bought them in July when she went shopping with Maia(here's the link to the shoplog). They're from the New Look. She really didn't regret buying these! They're very cute and comfy, perfect for the summer!

And these are the five shoes Maia would choose to keep if she could only keep 5:

The first pair of shoes she would keep is her flower shoes. They're not easy to combine but they're eye-catcher that can make a basic outfit more special. Also they're very comfortable.

These high-heel boots she'd never throw away either. Not because they're comfortable (they're not, after an hour or two her feet start hurting already) but because they're cute! They're perfect for days when you don't have to walk a lot or for party's and they're also warm and make your legs look a lot taller.

If she could only keep five shoes, she definitely would have to keep a pair of flats! Flats are really good to have because you can wear them whenever you want and they're very comfortable and easy to walk with a whole day long. It was hard to decide wich pair of flats she'd keep but in the end she chose these vintage black ones. Especially because they're black and black fits everything.

As you can see Maia loves ancle boots! They're warm and comfortable and fit every outfit. Maia wears them every season and her favorite pair is this dark green pair.

And the last pair she wants to keep are these black wedge sneakers from Zara. They're as high as her high-heel boots, but a lot easier to walk with. Wedge sneakers are definitely must haves! :)

And that's it!

Essence Nail Corrector Pen

Hi!

Don't you hate it that when you paint your nails and there is some nail polish on your fingers or maybe even your hands? Well, don't panic girls! You can use a cotton bud and put it in some nail polish remover, but even a easier way is to use this Nail Corrector Pen from Essence.



And it doesn't even work very well and is very handy, it also smells very good. It only costs € 2,49 and you can do a pretty long time with these.

xoxo
