It’s another happy Monday everyone! Last week we posted Amour’s brooch from her wedding bouquet.

Wedding Brooch Restyle Project

Being that tomorrow in Australia is the Melbourne Cup we thought we would go with the theme – so a restyled fascinator it is 🙂

Fascinator Restyle

Not the best picture – but Amour’s sister-in-law will be wearing it tomorrow for her day at the races – so better pictures to follow tomorrow 🙂 You may also notice that the brooch looks a little different – that’s because at the last-minute Amour couldn’t part with her brooch – but a substitute was found.

What do you think of our restyle project? Gotta love anything with bling and feathers – right?

This week we have a new item for you to give us some inspiration. A bunch of bangles from the markets. *walk like an Egyptian* Come on – you all had a Bangle song go through your head 😉

Can’t wait to show you how we restyle these beauties. Please comment on any inspirations you wish to share with us…we’re always open to suggestions.

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

Hi it’s just Amour again for this post. Last Sunday my little sister (Jade), my niece (Jasmine) and I went to the Blacktown Markets. Blacktown Markets is located in the Blacktown Drive-ins on Cricketers Arms Road, Prospect NSW, Australia.

This post is mostly pictures – so grab a cuppa and maybe some chocolate to get you through it 🙂

During the whole time that I was taking the pictures of my new items my niece Jasmine kept trying to get into the shots – so here’s one just for her – she is so cute!

Take my picture aunty!

So here are the pictures of the markets itself…

Blacktown markets – oh where to start?

So much to look at!

The oh so cute cake stall

The cake stall was Nana Jacks Cake Art and they had some truly cute creations! They can be contacted via +61413572122 – their website is coming soon!

Now here’s the fun part – the purchases…

nailpolish, bracelets, shoes and spray paint *happy sigh*

Jade modelling the apron, kids books and future restyle projects

More future restyle projects

Box of dye anyone?

I spent a total of $45 for the whole lot! My favourite purchase was definitely the box of dye for $7! Can you imagine what I could do with all of that? So can’t wait!

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

Soooo ummmmm we were just working on the summary post of all of our pin it and do it challenges for tomorrow – and we realised that we are missing #4! Poor number 4! *blush*

That’s ok – we had a restyle that we were going to post later on in the week – so instead here it is 🙂

Here is the pin that inspired us on Pinterest. We did a slightly different spin on it – we painted with old nailpolish instead.

And here it is…

Hi everyone!

So here is our first Pinteresting challenge for this Pin It and Do It Challenge.

Here is the pin that inspired us on Pinterest. Instead of using a t-shirt – we decided to restyle some baby bibs we had on hand. So silly – we forgot to take a ‘before’ picture of the bibs!

And here is our finished product…

Pinteresting Challenge #1 – Bleach Print Bibs

After we made these the crew at Oh So Pretty the Diaries posted a DIY on their blog. We just love the horse silhouette – so graceful! Check out their DIY tutorial – the DIY: SPRAY BLEACH SHIRT – it turned out better than ours! While we were writing this we realised that the inspiration pin came via Oh So Pretty the Diaries.

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!
