DIY: PERSONALIZED PHONE CASE

Last summer, I decided to make my masterpiece in my phone case. Actually this is my second personalized phone case. I used to fantasize decodens in my phone. But decodens and clay polymers are little bit expensive. So I took the alternative route, I used nail polish! Yes! Nail Polish is not just for our fingernail care, but also to paint! It’s been a long time, since I made a DIY, so the long wait is over!

MATERIALS

-NAIL POLISH (ANY COLOR OR ANY NUMBER).

- SCOTCH TAPE

-SOLID COLORED PHONE CASE (NO PRINTS OR DESIGNS)

-NEWSPAPER

INSTRUCTIONS

1.      Remove your mobile phone from the phone case, before proceeding to this DIY J

2.      Spread the newspaper in the table or any platform

3.      Place the phone case over the newspaper. So you can avoid clutter or mess.

4.      Cover the holes at the back part of the phone, to avoid chemical effect, to the camera or any part of the mobile.

5.      Start to paint in any desired designs in the back and front part!

6.      Let it dry for five minutes!

7.      Voila you are done!

Teenage Dream

Teenage Dream by yurikoakie08 featuring chain jewelry

I can imagine my elder sister wearing this look. It took me a long time, to fully understand I am not suitable for girly clothes, because of my tall physique. I just realized, edgy clothes suits my physique  more. However as we grow older, the best fashion philosophy, to wear according to your age. Can you imagine a woman wearing it in her 50′s? I dare you not. So as long as we are young! Wear anything that makes you feel cute and hip (of course young!). Pink, Kitten Flats, Lace Skirt and Denims, can make you sing Katy Perry’s hit song

Born This Way

It is so hard to maintain physical beauty (especially if you are a girl). Of course, you have to take care of your face, body, hair and nails. The maintenance of the surface becomes harder, due of gazillion beautiful faces we see everyday (televisions, films, advertisements, billboards and magazines). It worsens, when social media reached its peek, as a base of someone’s popularity and vanity. It delights a girl’s ego, whenever she gets so many likes from followers and friends. Confidence, one word but its definition is truly an impact. We are not the clones. We don’t look exactly like those ideal faces on media. But our worth is greater than any ideal complexion, gorgeous hair, photogenic faces and popularity.

But you “yourself” indeed can be beautiful. You don’t need to have those long legs, sexy curves, photogenic face and popularity, to prove you are one. I joined a modeling search and a beauty contest once. But I didn’t won in any competition, the lesson I learned from that, “love myself the best”. I vomited with the fact I need to prove them I am beautiful. I have to fit for their so-called “beauty code”. Sad but true, we are always struggling, in order to achieve their standards, to get acceptance from other people. Contouring our faces with make up, before to take pictures of ourselves, putting so much effects to enhance our photos.

We don’t need to prove them we are beautiful. No one can measure anyone’s worth, with the way he/she looks. Whenever I look at myself in the mirror. I can see my reflection as clear as a day. I am a fine human being, God made me look like this, it has its own purpose why I look like this. He never made someone to hate him/herself. You don’t need gazillion of likes, a contest and popularity to prove you are. You don’t need to prove anyone your worth. Everyone’s existence has its own purpose. Because I am, You are and We are Beautiful

 

Monochrome Look in 3 Steps

Monochrome Block by yurikoakie08 featuring charlotte russe

This post is a breath of fresh air, as you all now, I am always posting outfit ideas. So for this post, I opted to show some ways to cop that “Monochrome Look” .  All you have to do is follow these 3 easy steps!

STEP 1: PICK  SIMILAR COLORS AND EXPERIMENT

Of course, Monochrome outfit is all about the same family color. For instance, In this photo above, Camille Co (my fave blogger) wore both blue. But Mango didn’t used the same shade of blue all over, for her top it is darker blue, her denim jeans are lighter blue. The pick? Use the same family color but different shade (light and dark).

ANOTHER IDEA FOR STEP 1

For another alternative way of dressing monochrome. You can also add printed touch (whether it is your top or bottom wear ). But it should belong to the same family color of your peg!

STEP 2: GRAB A DIFFERENT COLOR FOR BAG AND SHOES

To add some twist, the color of the bag and shoes ,are must be different, to avoid predictability. To make it look more chic, the bag and shoes should have the same colors. The usual colors used to break the monochrome code are ; black, white, and brown.

STEP 3: MINIMAL ACCESSORIES

To make the monochrome look more balance. It is advisable to wear minimal accessories. So the chosen color will shine in its own worth

It is much better to keep the accessories in the sideline for this look I am not a fashion genius yet, but I am willing to share with you, some of the few things I know about dressing up.

Nude Romance

Nude Romance by yurikoakie08 featuring a skater skirt

Heading to a romantic date? Let me show you an outfit idea for your special someone (or potential ) as well! Floral print is what we usually use for romantic look. But to make an alternative, why don’t try “Nude” colors for once. It gives a blissful spark to anyone who is wearing it.  I discovered that embroidery (at the nude pink top) has an elegant touch for it. Pearls (denim bag), Nude Colors and Pastel boots can easily melt his heart Don’t forget to wear your heart with you always. The best romantic ensemble in any outfit!
