2016, I'm coming at ya

My definition of Fall in an outfit

Heeello!!

I've been wanting to take some pictures for ages, because I really needed them to try and get hired in promotional / hostess agency. But as usual, even tho I love in one of the sunniest city of Europe, once I got both my fancy makeup and outfit on, it started raining, plans needed to be cancelled or whatever. You name it, it probably happened to me. 

Last Saturday it was raining too. But God gifted us with 30 minutes of sun, and my boyfriend took me out of the house and took this pictures for me. Now, I think these are the most gorgeous pictures I got of myself. I'm not the most photogenic person in the world, and for me is really difficult to pose, act, and everything, but the boyfriend makes everything easier. Anyway, here we go! 

And that is it for today! I just wanted to share my excitement for my new pictures with you, but I don't feel like writing or talking too much today so... see you next time! Have a great day & week :)

3 DIY Cat Ears Headbands ♡ (Ariana Grande Inspired!) | Cute Hair Accessories

Heeeello! Here I am with a fresh, brand-new upload that I want to share with you!

I've been loving Ariana's style lately, like I would steal her whole closet if I got the chance. I know, it may sound creepy, but it is completely true. That's probably the reason why I've been wanting all those shopgracieusa's oversized sweaters and t-shirt dresses. I spent all my money in craft supplies anyway, so...

Well, that intro lead me to what I came here to say. My last video is about cat ears headbands, which you probably know by now. This is basically what I did:

Now I'm going to tell you a little about each one of them:

I happened to see these plastic roses in pastel colors in a craftstore and in that very moment I knew I got to do something with them. So yeah, cat ears. Loved how they turned out! They are really romantic and girly. 

These are a version of the ones Ariana's showed once in her IG. As I said in the video, I feel like they look more as fox ears rather than cat ears because they turned out too pointed, but well! They are even more unique and personal now! And foxes can be as cute as cats, so...

I am in love with those!! They are like the ones Ariana wears in Love Me Harder video and they are just lovely. They look classy yet super cute.

Sooo! Without further due, here you have the video in case you want to learn the how to: 

That was all for today. This week is my finals' week (yaaaay, so excited!) buuut I'll try to have my DIY Valentine's Day Projects video uploaded by Sunday, as usual. Don't forget to follow me on IG if you want to know when would it be up, because I tell everything about my uploads there. And don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you want to find my videos in your subscription box :)  Loads of love for y'all!! Xoxo ❤

Easy DIY Last Minute Halloween Costumes: Hipster Cinderella & Rapunzel

Hi y'all, beautiful people!!

I am reaaally really happy to write this entry. Yesterday I couldn't upload a video to my channel, as I usually do on Sunday, but it was for the greater good. I was fighting with my editing software because I was attempting to change the background of the video with the green screen technique. The results are obviously not even closer to professional ones, but taking into account that I don't have professional lighting, nor a real green screen background (I used a green blanket from my boyfriend and tape to glue it to the wall), I'm really satisfied with how everything turned out. I got to point out that I don't even have a decent camera! I film wih a digital one, a Nikon Coolpix SD2800. I can't complain, tho. It's really good quality for a digital camera... But anyway! I think it was a funny experience and something that I'm definitely going to do again (yeah, poor bf of mine, I'm sorry for that). Anyway, here you have some behind the scenes pictures, so you can see how precarious was everything.

As I mentioned before, shout outs to my bf! He helped me to prepare everything and he was the intro director, as he always is :). I'm afraid he just has to get use to it... Aaaand about the video! It is another Halloween costume. It's really easy, affordable and cute, at least I think so. You can be any hipster Disney princess using a tiny little bit of imagination and a few clothes from your closet! Here you have the link to the tutorial:

DIY Barbie Halloween Costume (with Shelly!)

Hi!! So today I'm sharing my very first Halloween themed-video. It's a DIY Barbie costume! As a child, I loooooved dolls, especially Barbie dolls. I still love them in fact. I loved costumes as well, but I never have the chance to put on a costume very often. So I make the most of this opportunity to create a Barbie look :) And of course, you gotta bring your little, cutie sister Shelly with you <3

I had so much fun filming this. It was very challenging, because it was my first makeup tutorial as well. I don't proclaim myself as a makeup artist, nor anything similar. In fact, makeup is a really tough and tricky issue for me. But I tried... And I think it didn't turn out bad at all! Btw, I'm planning to do more Halloween videos. At least one more costume and something related to decoration and healthy snacks! So make sure you're subscribed to my YT channel, 'cause you don't want to miss them! :) For now, here you have the first episode of the 2014 Halloween series:

DIY Crop Sweater | Revamp your clothes for Fall!

Hi y’all, beautiful people!

Here I am ‘cause it’s DIY Sunday! Today I’m bringing a quick one: a revamp for your old sweaters. I’ve always dreamed with beautiful, big, cozy sweaters, but they are soooo expensive! So of course had I to come up with something like this. I think I’m starting to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Everything is easier and faster. And I really really like that. So here you have the video:
And by the way, I’m uploading twice this week! As I promised, I uploaded a haul with my Forever21 birthday clothes. Here you have the link:

DIY Beanie, Scarf & Leg Warmers for Fall! (Sweater Upcycle)

Hi! It still being DIY Sunday in myDIYtifuLife. Basically I spent my whole Sunday editing this video, and the truth is that I like how it turned out in the end! Youtube, as always, has stolen the quality of my poor baby, but weeeell, nothing I can do about it for now tho...

So I have been thiiinking and thinking about what should I do with this old sweater that I'm about to throw away since two years ago but that always ends up stuck in my closet because I feel so terribly sorry putting it in the trash can... Soooo this is it. This was my solution: I turned it into a beanie, a scarf and a pair of leg warmers. Things that I need but I'm always too lazy to buy because they tend to be terrible expensive. Hopefully you haven't done the Fall cleaning yet and you can find an old sweater that can be useful again! Here it is the how you can make that happen: 

Forever21 birthday haul!

Hi y'all!!

Last thursday was my birthday and since I'm so in love with Forever21 clothes (and prices) when my mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday, the answer was crystal clear in my head: Forever21!

Here where I live there's no Forever21 store. There was one store of Forever21 once in Barcelona (where my friend Lau and me could spend hours and hours), but I think they closed it down this year. Sooo I'm just left with the option of shopping on the web and I'm not a huge fan of online shopping because there's some items that I would never ever dare to purchase without trying them on.

Today my purchase arrived. I was super excited and I filmed the unboxing, so this along with a couple of ideas will be uploaded soon to my YT channel. I got a cardigan, a fluffly, crop jumper, a pasley pattern skirt, a burgundy bag, a beanie aaaand a dark pink / purple tank top that I'm planning to use for a DIY costume. The quality of every piece of clothing is amazing regarding the price, if you'd ask me. Aaaaanyway, I will talk to you more about my Forever21 haul in my video!! Loads of love and kisses <3

DIY accessories organization | Make your closet look tumblr!

Hi guys!! I think I have some kind of disease when it comes to organize my stuff. Sooo here it is another room decor / organization video.

I think if you don't have a big closet, you're going to like this! This DIY is really useful for people with not too much space for their clothes and accessories (my case!). Plus, these ideas add loads of cuteness to your closet (or wherever you decide to hang them). Here you have it:

'Summer in shorts' lookbok

Heeeello!!

I've been a little bored so I decided to spend my afternoon editing a video. It's a lookbook with some short films that I made my poor boyfriend filmed for me. I love how the color of the video turns out! I hope you enjoy it too.
Aaaand of course, you gotta love my bf cute dog.  
Loads of love!! Xoxo

First DIY + Introduction

Hi everyone! Welcome to myDIYtifuLife.

My name is Marina and I live in the south of Spain. I've always loved decorating and doing my own things. Particularly cute things. But I've always thought that I wasn't talented enough for creating my own stuff or that I has no imagination and I has been limiting myself to imitate what others came up with. In fact, it wasn't until this year that life taught me that anyone can make almost anything if one works hard enough for it. Soooo, this idea came to my mind and, thanks to my beloved ones, today a dream has become reality.

 Before I show you my first video, a massive THANK YOU goes to the designer of this site: the talented Clara J. Aira. An incredible artist and a good friend for almost 7 years now. And of course, I have to send another big THANK YOU to my boyfriend, for his lovely support and his incredible patience while filming. Loads of love for the two of you. Anddd that's all for today. Stay tunned for more!
