Wimbledon Fashion Round Up

Wimbledon starts on Monday and if like me, you aren't interested in what happens on the court, you may be interested who turns up and what they wear or you just may not be interested in Wimbledon at all. However I fall in the former of the two. I like seeing who is watching the game courtside and what they are wearing. In anticepiation of all the fashionable men and women we will see courtside, I have some of my favourite outfits from Wimbledon in previous years.

Kim Sears (Or is she Kim Murray now?)


















Who are you looking forward to hopefully see sat courtside? Can Andy Murray regain his title? Let me know your opinions below.

Father's Day: DIY Gifts for Dad.

With Father's day coming up, it's time to get our thinking caps on and decide what would be a nice gift for dad or any other deserving father figure.
I have compiled a list of all of my top 5 favourite DIY gifts for Dad from Pinterest including the one my brother and I are making for our dad.

If your dad has a sweet tooth but doesn't like flowers, then he'll love the chocolate bouquet. This is the one my brother and I are recreating for our dad. It's perfect because it is customizable to your dad's taste. If he only likes one type of chocolate then you can use that. If you look on my father's day Pinterest Board you'll see many different examples of a chocolate Bouquet



Maybe your dad is fashion forward. Or maybe he collects funny ties?
Again, this is another DIY gift that is completely customizable. You can use any fabric your like. If dad likes Star Wars, Doctor Who, Marvel Superheroes; or whatever it is he likes, the internet has a fabric for you.
FYI, I am not affiliated with the Etsy store that I've linked to, I just think they have awesome fabrics.



Maybe your dad isn't a presents person, or maybe you can only afford to send a card? Then why not try a funny card. Or if your Dad likes funny cards, you could collect a couple, maybe on the same theme, and put them into a nice picture frame. If it wasn't such a pain to take a picture frame on a plane, this would be a great present for my dad.



Maybe Dad drinks lots of tea and coffee or wants to show off his parenting skills to the other guys at the office. Or you would like to show your dad how much you appreciate his parenting skills. However, you can customise the design on the cup to whatever you want. If you are the artistic type you could design Dad a one of a kind masterpiece on a cup. You could even make a matching set if you wished.



If you wanted to present Dad with some of his favourite family pictures, why not create him a monogram photo collage? Even if you aren't very crafty, it is easy enough to make, all you really need is a wooden letter, photographs and glue! If you wanted you can paint the letter a solid colour.


There you have it, my top 5 DIY gifts for Father's Day. If these aren't your cup of tea, then please feel free to check out my Father's Day Pinterest Board
