Caseapp.co.uk iPhone Case: Review

Holla!

As I mentioned last week (check here) I have ordered my first ever case from caseapp.co.uk. Since it has finally arrived I decided to write a review. The phone case got delivered very quickly. Since I've been using it  for few days now I decided to write a review on it and tell you guys what I think about it. 


For those who don't know, CaseApp is a Swedish company which specializes in producing customized iPhone cases for iPhone 4/4S and 5. They produce cases for individuals as well as carry out group orders for those who want to order in larger quantities. 
From the very start, when I went on their website I was very kindly surprised. The company's website is designed very well, making it really easy to navigate. For me, personally it's very important to be able to use the website with ease without any troubles, and receive the whole 'online shopping experience'.

When you're starting to create your case you get the chance to select from different colours of the sides of the case. You get to chose from white, black, light pink, dark pink, cyan blue or transparent. Which I thought is really cool as you get the chance to make the case even more of 'your own one'. I went for black, because I thought it will go very well with the colours on my case and my iPhone is black as well. If you wish to you can also add text to your case and preview any changes you make to see how the case will look in the actual life.

The case its self is really well made. The product is very high quality, plastic is very strong so even if you drop your phone the case doesn't break (previously I have broke so many cases, because I dropped my phone and they have snapped) the print is also incredibly well applied which makes the case look as it's a really good quality as well and it is. Also what I have noticed about this case is that the back of the case is matte so the image doesn't scratch when you put your phone on the surface. 

The design of the case is also really well thought out. The places that needs to be accessed such as volume buttons, speakers, microphone and camera are really easy to get as the plastic is perfectly cut out not getting in the way. I thought I would mention that as well, as previously when I have purchased some of the cases the design wasn't really thought out by the designers and it was really hard to get to the volume buttons or the plastic was overlapping with the camera which was really annoying and making the case practically unable to use, because I had to take it off all the time. However CaseApp have clearly thought about that and didn't disappoint their customers. 

So overall I love my personalized case from CaseApp. Their website is really easy to use, the product is a really good quality and the delivery was really fast as well. I will definitely be purchasing more cases from them soon.

Thank you CaseApp!

OOTD

Holla!

Just a very simple, chilled look for warmer days. I LOVE this sweatshirt from River Island (Buy here) so I decided to show you how I style it. Sweatshirts are also very in fashion right now, you can get them everywhere with a lot of different prints and styles. Probably most of guys own at least one so I decided to show you how to spice things a little and make it your own. As you can see down below I paired it up with a white polo to give it a bit of diversity and the 'geek' look, white Ice watch and converse to match the print on the jumper.


If you like you can also add another accessories such as snap back or a beanie.  
I paired it up with a green/grey OBEY snap back (LEFT) and  a dark turquoise beanie (RIGHT) to give it some contrast. 




So what do you think? How would you style your sweatshirt? 
Let me know!


Snap back - OBEY (Buy here)
Beanie - River Island (Sale) 
Ice Watch - (Buy here)
Sweatshirt - River Island (Buy here)
Skinny Jeans - River Island (Buy here)
Converse - Office (Buy here)

DIY: Studded Sweatshirt

Holla!

As you can probably guess from the title, today I'll show you how to make your own studded sweatshirt or any kind of clothing that you may want to give a little bit more of a modern look. It's a really good idea to give a new life to some items of clothing you maybe haven't wore for a long time or you're bored of. 


Firstly, you need to gather all the resources that you'll need to help you. A piece of clothing you want to stud (in my case, it's my grey sweatshirt), a ruler, pair of scissors (or anything that's sharp enough to easily make a hole), pen, studs (I got my of ebay - Buy Here)  I will also be using a crew driver to help to attach the studs to the material. 


Once you have organised all the materials needed.  Using a ruler try to mark with a pen where you want the studs to be, so it's easier for you  to place them. 





Repeat this step as many times as needed, depending on the amount of studs you want to have on your item. Once this step is finished, get one of the studs and place it on one of the dots you have marked with your pen.



Turn it on the other side, firmly holding the stud.


Then, get a pair of scissors. Holding the stud make a hole in the material (make sure you're holding the stud really well so it doesn't move and it's placed where you want it to be).



Once you made the whole in the material, get the other part of the stud (the screw) and place it so it goes inside the stud. Using your fingers or a screw driver screw it in. So the stud is attached to the material.


And it's done!


Repeat this process as many times as you wish to. 


Make sure to space the studs so they are equally spread and there is a same distance between them.  



 Taaadaaah!


Hope you found this tutorial helpful guys! If you have any questions or you need any help just let me know.

February'13 Wishlist


Holla! 
So, as we're in to February I thought I'll started the month with a brand new February wishlist! 


1. Bleach Denim Bomber Jacket, £50 (Buy Here)

Bomber jackets are really in this season. I'm sure in Spring/Summer 2013 we will see a lot of them online and on high streets. This incredibly cool, bleached, light
blue jacket is perfect for spring! As it's starting to get warmer you can just put it on and leave the house. Very trendy and essential this season. 

2. Chain Shape Bow-tie, £8 (Buy Here)
Lately I have been absolutely obsessed with bow ties and this one is just so cool I NEED it. I am in love with it! It's so unusual, it's 'chain' shape makes it really cool and different from any other bow-ties. This could be a really coo extra to your outfit. Just pair it up with any casual shirt to give it a little bit more frisky look. 

3. Black College Bag, £40 (Buy Here)
I've been on a look out for a larger bag for a while now, just to put everything in it and take it with me to uni or to the gym. Sometimes I have so much stuff with me to take to uni or when I'm going to the gym and I never have enough space. I feel like this simple, large bag is ideal. Also because it''s black it will go well with everything. 

4. 'Woouf' iPad Case, £35 (Buy Here)
My iPad screen is starting to get really bad, I've had it for about a year now and I still haven't purchased any iPad case. Reason being, because I didn't find any I like! I finally came across one in Urban Outfitters. Even though it's £30, which kinda kills me, I think I will have to buy it, simply because I love it and I really need one!

5. Black Shapes Oversize T-shirt, £18 (Buy Here)
Oh, my gaaaawd! How cool is this tee? It looks amazing, I love the pattern and just everything about it. It's so simple and cool. I kinda wish it was a different colour, since I want to get rid of all the dull, wintery colours, but I don't think it will stop me from buying it anyway.  

6. Camouflage Skinny Chinos, £36 (Buy Here)
I really wanted to get a camo jacket few months ago, but for some reason I went off this idea. The other day I went to Top Man and I saw those beauties! And I will have them. The are perfect, camo and 'Military look' is very in fashion just now. These chinos will help you achieve this 'military' look very easily. Just pair it up with a a hoodie and boots and you're ready to go!
