Outfit Of The Day: Mint Pink

I wore my new H&M Necklace out to go and have a walk around a local antique market! I layered up with my favourite Forever 21 jacket and my homemade scarf to brave the rain! I only came home with a little vintage brooch but I did see a gorgeous lace dress I fell in love with but it was just a little bit too pricey for me!

Nail Color: Chanel Le Vernis May

My new favourite colour for Spring is my new Chanel Nail Colour in May. I currently have it on my fingers and toes! My friend Susie sent me some cute little flowers for my nails from Japan that will match perfectly! I'm gonna try them out next weekend!



What is everyone else loving to wear on their nails this spring?

Let's Get Crafty: Mini Woven Chain Bracelets

My leather wrap bracelets were eager for some new friends to join them and when I was linked to another Honestly WTF DIY post I found their perfect partners in crime, woven chain bracelets!


I copied these instructions but just used smaller chains to make a mini version! I also couldn't use a hair grip because it was too large to fit through the chain so instead I could just about use a large needle, although the thread was a bit of a challenge to get through the needle eye! I also reduced the number of strands of thread, I used 8 strands in total 2 in 4 different colours!

My sister has a ton of embroidery thread from all her cross stitching so I had a great range of colours to choose from without even leaving the house!






My new bracelets making new friends!



If anyone is interesting in purchasing one of these chain bracelets just send me an email at fiveminutestyle@gmail.com I can make any colour combination you would like!
