Infinity Scarves & Three Ways to Style Them

January 12, 2015

The thing about infinity scarves is that they are limitless, endless, and that's just me stating the obvious. Infinity scarves are like crop-tops with no sleeves that only reach above our boobs, or if we have tiny boobs, we'll be lucky enough to pull it down a little bit more, to get it below the mountains. 

Infinity scarves have been around since 2013? 2012? And they can be worn multiple ways with multiple outfits. They're warm and convenient for throwing over a plain looking outfit. So let me tell you straight up, it's an investment getting an infinity scarf. If you don't have one, get one. If you already have one, good for you. *claps and gives candy* 

Since it's cold over here and in most places of the world, and it's now appropriate to bring out those knitted scarves and style them accordingly. Here are three ways to style them:

The Normal Way

When you don't have time to wrap a scarf around your neck, just throw the infinity scarf over your head and boom! you're ready!

The Hooded Way

Take scarf from the back and hood it over your head like nomad caught in a sandstorm. Arrange that bulk of hair that would probably be sticking out on top, and you're done and ready to head out! 

The Fancy Way


Ahh...the fancy way. This idea came from one of my good friends, Sasha. We went to a wedding and she paired the dress she was wearing with the infinity scarf styled this way. Just pull the scarf over your shoulders, keeping bits of the scarf to cover your neck, and you're done! I think it looks quite vintage and type of scarf you would wear to a gala. It's very fancy don't you say?

What are your ways of styling infinity scarves or a regular scarf? Send me a link and let me know in the comments. I'm always looking for new ways to wear them.

And how are you all enjoying the weather?
I'm loving it!

DIY Paper Snowflakes | Blogmas

December 7, 2014

Blogmas Day 7

Yep, I've evolved into a DIY junkie. Everything I need, I think, "Can I make it myself instead of buying it?" These days you can google how to make absolutely anything and there is bound to be at least DIY tutorial for you to follow.

Just like when I googled – or more like pinterest'd, since I pinterest everything nowadays. And I just turned pinterest into a verb, yay! – DIY Snowflakes, I found a bunch of tutorials and patterns that I could follow. Some patterns are just too complicated, that I just end up making my own custom snowflake pattern. Like this:


But how did I make the snowflake in the first place? I made a simple collage for you all to follow. But instead of using a full A4 paper, I just cut the A4 in half, and ended up with A5 paper; which is what I started with.


If I had all the time in the world, I would make a bunch of these and fill the entire how with paper snowflakes. Right now, some of them are attached to my LED lights so that my room can feel wintery and Christmasy. 



I even made tiny ones –which was quite hard to do by the way – that I just put inside a clear phone case so that my phone can join in on the fun and get that wintery feel. 


This is the perfect activity to do with family and friends. 
Remember to use recycling paper instead of the usual blank paper if you can. Let's at least try to contribute to keeping the environment clean – kind of.

Here are a few Snowflake patterns for y'all to copy off of: 

Have a jolly day everyone!!
