DIY The carrie diaries bag

Hello Sweethearts,

today I'm going to show you how I DIY the carrie diaries inspired bag!


This is how my bag looks like. I'm going to take you through it step for step.


I started of with a basic, not to expensive, black bag. Mine is from Mango && I got it on sale 50% off.


Then I collection the nail polish colours that would fit my everyday wear && mood. I still wanted to make it kind of similar to Carrie's bag so that also influenced my colour choice.
I know these nail polish aren't cheap but I really wanted to use these colours.

Names && brands of the nail polish from left to right: Essie Mezmerised,OPI My boyfriend scales walls, Essie Sew psyched, Essie Bahama mama, Essie Peach dairquiri, Essie Mint candy apple && Topshop Daydream.


I covered everything with paper that I didn't want to give nail polish stripes or stains.


&& then I just splattered && swiped my nail polish brushes above the bag to give it that splattered && striped look. I used some toilet paper to give it that stained look.







I first waited for the nail polish to dry && then I used Topshop Daydream && a cheap brush to write my name on the bag. I let my finished bag dry for a night && o voila, my own Carrie diaries bag!
