Loving my new bobble jumper from Primark, it is so warm and cosy and goes perfectly with my summer pleated skirt worn here. Was looking for a piece to help bring this skirt over into AW and now I have the perfect way!
Also loving my new "Barbour" Jacket, when I got home and had a look at my Primark receipt it read "Barbra Jacket" £22:00 ..... LOLZ 
Popped back into Primark this weekend and got a couple more bargains that I wil share with you soon!
Hope You have all had a great weekend,  I had a SUPER busy one with some work involved too! But it wasn't all bad! Got a super busy working week ahead of me too! Blah Blah enough of all this self pity!
Happy Monday peeps
Love & Peace xoxo Clare Astra xoxo

Jewellery Box

For a while know I have been looking for a way of displaying my ever growing ring collection, at first I thought I wanted a vintage look, but couldn't the "right" thing.
Whilst out shopping with my friend Sarah, she dragged me into Muji for some scented candles, where I stumbled across some shiny acrylic storage boxes . Whilst contemplating what I could do with it I spotted the padded ring holders on the next shelf!! I immediately got the shop guy to take them all out of the packaging slot them together and popped the BIGGEST ring that I was wearing into the ring holder. Then I tested the draw action, the ring fitted and the box made it look GORGEOUS!
SOLD!

Cloth tray with ring partition £6:50


Acrylic draws with flip-top lid £11:50



Together priceless!













My collection looks good in here right?
These are all my "gold" rings, need to go buy another one the display my "sliver" rings!
I am sooo pleased with it! .... and it was heaps of fun arranging the rings too!
Hope you guys have got fabulous plans for the weekend?
I will be working! ... booo (it's all about the money, gotta pay for the ring collection somehow hay!)
Peace & Love Always

Studded Phone Cover DIY

Ok so you may remember when I got this cute Hello Kitty phone cover , and it was all shiney and new and Kitty had a cute little 3D pink bow in here hair! (see older post here). Well the bow came off whilst I was out shopping and Kitty lost her cute :-(


Then I remembered I had a couple of bags of studs in my customising kit and decided to give the cover a facelift instead of throwing it in the trash!You will need a rubber phone case for this DIY, approx 40 studs depending on stud/phone size and something metal to fold the studs down ( I use the back of my nail clippers)

Then simply poke the studs through the rubber and fold the backs down firmly, making sure they do not stick out or can cause any damage to the back of your phone!










So I did this whilst watching the TV in my PJ's! Apologies for the Hello Kitty house coat shot but I wanted to show you how cool my phone looks in its new cover!!
If you decide to do your own phone cover DIY I would LOVE it if you could sent me some pics!
Share the Love!
Peace & Love
