Harry Clarke

Blown away by the mesmerising illustrations by Irish illustrator Harry Clarke, here are a selection of his work for Edgar Allen Poe and various fairytale compilations...do you recognise the Little Mermaid, Cinderella of the Emperor with his new clothes?

Cut skinny jeans

Longing for the sun? Looks like some people are trying to channel the spirit of summery denim cut-offs in an ensemble more suitable for the chilly winter months. OK, so they're all guys, BUT why not channel masculine vibes at the same time! An easy DIY; if your trousers are the perfect length to begin with (or you're just loath to cut them up) you can unpick the seam instead of cutting.

Supplies | Scavenging DIY Materials

Beads can be hard to find cheaply, especially if you want to use a lot of them. One solution is to buy cheap bracelets and necklaces, or find them in second-hand and charity shops, and then cut them up to use the beads for other projects. The beads from this pack of bracelets from Primark would have cost much more than €5 had I bought them individually. Hurrah for Primark and cheap jewelery!

Asymmetric Pencil Skirt

I love this outfit from Zanita Morgan on her blog Zanita. We've seen flowy, asymmetric scooped skirts, now here's a pencil variety! You could chop up an old pencil skirt and copy the effect very easily, or choose a bright colour and DIY.

DIY | Sunglasses

Sunglasses plus sharpie makes for one of the simplest DIYs ever...choose a different coloured sharpie and the world is your oyster!
