With crochet and denim set to be this summers hot trend, and because this is all I seem to wear these days I thought I'd put together an outfit with my favourite denim short shorts and my latest crochet creation. Crochet is going to be a massive hit this summer and I cannot wait to wear some of the bits I have made back at home with a few more layers than are apparent in this OOTD. Home is now closing in with only 3 months left here in Thailand, me and James are trying are hardest to not think to much about the time we have left and instead enjoy every single second of it. Home is an exciting prospect, I cannot wait to see my family and friends, however I know that it is going to hit us hard and Thailand will be ridiculously missed.

Hey lovelies just a quick post today it was suppose to be an outfit but I haven't got round to sorting out the images yet, so I thought I'd out together a cute ideas post instead. Now it is not the most genius of ideas and doesn't take a lot to get involved; all you need it your favourite fedora and a tie up floral head band (or any other head band of your choice). As simple as those two things you tie the floral band around your fedora e' viola you have a cute summer fedora to see you through those festival times or maybe a summer holiday or two. This is how I'm currently wearing mine, as thought I'd share the idea you with you folks.

If you just so happen to like this idea and do the same to your fedoras tag me over on instagram or twitter with a pic so I can see. Both @kirstywearsblog, speak soon xo

Monday saw me wake up and decide 'I hate my hair and I cannot deal with it in my face anymore'. I think it is safe to say that over the last 6 months my hair has taken a drastic transformation for extremely messy untameable long locks to bleached slightly shorter hair, to finally a tamed marshmallow bob. I remember always saying I'll never cut my hair short again but maybe its me getting older or I'm loosing my marbles (you decide) I started falling out of love with hair altogether.

So that was that Monday I took myself to the local hair salon in Choengmon (Koh Samui) asked the hairdresser for a just under the shoulders bob and Ohmygardd I cannot be happier with my spontaneous decision. Not only does it feel ahhmazing to have freshly blow dried hair, it feels so chic and healthy, and I don't know if it because I currently got rid of my ghastly roots or that I am pink/lilac toned I like it so much more but honestly I haven't felt this happy with my hair in a long time.

Ching Ching to me, my future bob and a life without a mane covering my whole entire face.

Necklace - V.Locket Venus With Love 

Sharing with you today this gorgeous custom made charm locket from the lovely Jewellery brand Venus With Love. VWL approached me just over a month ago now kindly asking whether I would like to design and create my own locket with them, I was so excited at the idea having seen their gorgeous collections online and how cute the V.Lockets were. However with me being in Thailand I thought that maybe I would have too miss out on such a lovely opportunity, but luckily after speaking with the lovely Jenna at VWL she was happy to ship out the package all the to me here in Koh Samui. I was so over joyed that I spent the next 4 week eagerly anticipating the arrival with several trips to the local post office. Then the day come and it just so happened James picked it up for me on the way back from his training, it felt like Christmas had come early. As you can probably tell the prospect of receiving parcels is very exciting, especially as I have had to go almost a year with out any sort of online delivery or parcel. Oh the little things. 

So now you all know that I got very excited (sometimes I do wonder) let me talk more about Venus With Love, this adorable locket and its super lovely concept. The idea behind the V.Locket is that you can either choose to gift somebody the locket, with maybe one or two charms in and then they can continue to build it up inside themselves, or you can choose up to 8 charms (depending on the size you choose) and build a full locket. I decided to choose 6 charms and base mine around my year here in Thailand, therefore I chose; a palm tree, cocktail, suitcase, peace hands, my birth stone and a little heart with 'dream' engraved on the inside, and also I went for the 'large silver locket, with a snake chain' (just incase you were wondering which size and style mine was). With a whole range of charms and dangles to choose from you can design which ever mood, theme or story you like.

The fun doesn't stop there, once you have built your locket you can always add to it or even complete change the content if you like, as the little case opens and closes (just like an original locket). I think VWL have come up with such a cute, timeless idea that if you were to receive as a gift, or even just treat yourself you can keep the story going or if your like me just have my most recent memories locked in forever. 

I guess it holds a similar concept to the Pandora bracelets where you can continue to hold and pick out favourite memories and moments keeping them as close to you as possible. Personally I love jewellery like this, it reminds me of all the wonderful things that my mum and granny have in their treasure boxes and all the meanings and stories in each of their special pieces. There is far to much costume jewellery these days, I think it is something truly special to have a piece that you love and can make you remember. 

If Venus With Love have stolen your heart or you know someone that will love a V.Locket of their own use the code 'KIRSTYWEARS20' to receive 20% OFF at the checkout. Also if you do let me know what charms you went for. Thank you so much to Venus With Love for gifting me with such a beautiful piece of jewellery.
