Tips: DIY Dolce & Gabanna inspired floral sunglasses

Dolce & Gabbana inspired DIY floral embellished sunglasses

It is a well-known fact that tutorials for the Dolce & Gabbana inspired DIY floral sunglasses have been done to death all over the Internet. So, instead of doing re-inventing the wheel, I thought of sharing some tips and some of the ideas that I have for this DIY project.

Tip #1: Pick a pair of sunglasses with thicker frame so that there is ample area for you to glue the flowers. A cat-eye frame is a plus because placing the flowers on the top tips of a cat-eye frame gives emphasis on the flowers.

Tip #2: Play around with placement of the flowers on the sunglasses using Blu-Tack to have a good idea of what the end-product will look like. This also allows you to wear the sunnies and decide if you actually like the look!

Tip #3: Use flowers of different sizes.

Tip #4: Try using metallic roses for a different look! 

Tip#5: Don't stop at flowers/roses. Think big, think fruits and animals. Think Anna Dello Russo's gold crocodile sunglasses. Now that's another DIY idea!

Half-frame floral look. Not a fan.

Tried a full floral look and decided it was too much for me

Gold roses

So there you go, my tips for creating your very own DIY embellished sunglasses. To be honest, I haven't glued the flowers to my sunnies. Those flowers are stuck to the sunnies with Blu-Tack. It's so hard to decide on the one that I really want! But I have to say that I have deviating towards the one with the gold roses! 

Have fun! xx

Before long

Hey everyone, I know that I haven't been posting very frequently this December. I have just been really tired from uni stuff. I am also currently suffering from a severe case of Hong Kong sloth*. But if you are following my Tumblr blog, you will know that I have been knitting a collar thingy using a yarn with sequins. It's now finished but I just need time to take pictures and write the pattern that I will be sharing with everyone! 


So, this is just a post to say a quick hi to everyone. Also, check out my new sunglasses from ASOS! They just arrived today! (^_^)


*If you didn't get the joke about the Hong Kong sloth, then you probably have never watched Boy Meets World... (Check out 1.36 of the video below)

DIY: Lens today, gone tomorrow

I have wanted to get a pair of geeky spectacles frame for AGES. The chance came when I saw this cool (but dubious 'Made in China') shades in a thrift shop for only A$1. And they were having a 50% sale! So, in the end they only cost me A$0.50!!!

(Health warning: Never wear toy sunnies under the Australian sun)

Today, I finally had the chance to break the geeky spirit within the glasses free.

HAVE FUN!!!
