Halloween Series

Hey Guys..... Today's post is a little bit SPOOKY than normal!! A HALLOWEEN POST! YAAAAAAAAY!

 ( scroll down for makeup tutorial!)

I decided my first costume would be 'spooky dolly' which is a great last minute costume to do if you haven't got anything else planned and it's too late to buy anything!! I took a lacy cream dress and put a lacy collar shirt underneath, then I put on light coloured tights and shoes and the clothes part of my costume was done!! EASY!  

Lacy dress - gift

Shirt - h&m

Headband, tights and shoes - Primark

FOR MAKEUP :

That's all for now folks... 

What do you plan to dress up as for Halloween?? See you next time for another SPOOKY post!!!

LOVEEEEEEEE

✿ ❀ ❁ Vintage Inspired ✿ ❀ ❁

Hey guys, just a quick 'personal style' post for you! :) 

This is what I wore the other day for a trip out shopping in the late Summer/ early Autumn sunshine! I thought the outfit was a little bit vintage looking hence my crafty cameo style photoshopping haha. The top is a little cropped t shirt style jumper from Topshop - it was a little bit pricey for what it is but I bought it with a gift card so I felt ok buying it because it is so pretty!! I think this thin knit in a t shirt cut looks so cute and 1950's style, I can't wait to wear it with a midi length a-line skirt now that its a bit chilly! I thought the crochet detail would really compliment this adorable lacy skirt I got for my birthday from my boyfriend's sister (thankyouuu!) I think it also has a nice vintage-y style to it and it reminds me of delicate petticoats *swoon* I added a pair of pearl earrings (again a gift, I'm such a lucky girl) to really top off the 50's look and trotted on my merry way :) 

Top - topshop

Skirt - h&m (gift)

Shoes - Primark

Earrings - unknown (gift)

Now that the cold winds are really starting to blow in London I think this is definitely the last of my pasty white pins you shall have to suffer until next year (cheers from all!) 

I am pretty excited to be piling on the layers and wearing Primark super cosy tights (have you tried these yet??!! SO COSY.. the packaging DOES NOT lie) and of course my (almost) favourite time of the year is approaching, Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!! What are you going to be for Halloween? I was thinking of doing some costume idea posts, what do you think?

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE

Modern Day Audrey

Today's post is a style stealer. I'm going to show how I would style clothes from the UK highstreet to get a Modern day Audrey Hepburn look! I've styled three looks each based on an Audrey Hepburn classic film :) Hope you like!

Rather than take the classic black and pearls outfit from the film I chose my personal favourite, this magnificent pink ensemble! Hepburn pulls off this all pink outfit with princess like perfection!

Rose print dress - Topshop

Neon pink blazer - Topshop

Spiked headband - Asos

Hot pink skater dress - Oasis

Pastel pink peplum blazer - Boohoo

Pastel pink heels - Boohoo

Diamanté hair pin - Asos

Pastel pink lace socks - Topshop

I've chosen a selection of pieces from high street brands. The loud print on this Topshop classic prom dress really modernises a classic shape, pair with a neon blazer and a spiked tiara headband to add edge! 

If you are looking for a more authentic Hepburn look, the pastel look is probably for you, I've chosen a skater shape hot pink dress and to set it off a cute pastel pink blazer with a peplum waist. Accessorise with a pair of chunky sandal heels, wear lace socks under these to add even more sweetness! 

I love this film so much, and this outfit is so amazing and simple!

Cropped polo neck - Topshop

Black and white panel midi skirt - Topshop

White socks - Topshop

Platform loafers - Underground @Topshop

Black flat jelly loafers - Office

Loafer wedges - Nine West @KurtGeiger

For this outfit I've chosen a Topshop sleeveless cropped polo neck (it is just like the American Apparel one but a fraction of the price!) and a midi skirt to modernise the look a bit. The skirt has a white panelling detail along the sides which helps tie in the white socks better!

 I've given three different options for shoes depending on how daring you're feeling.. If you are feeling mighty daring perhaps these huge Underground platform loafers are for you? I think they would look so cool with this sleek body fitting look! If, however, you are looking for a more classic, comfortable look, I would go for the  plain black Jelly loafer, these are only £28 from office and look very cute with the white sock. Last of all is the wedge loafers, for extra height and to keep your body looking tip top whilst wearing such a figure hugging outfit! 

The 'Sailing' Sabrina look!

Shirt - h&m

Cotton shorts - h&m

Denim Shorts - h&m

Plimsolls - h&m

Cork flatforms - h&m

Not much modernising to be done here, such a great summer outfit!

 I chose to select items purely from h&m for this look as its a great place to shop for summer basics!

 I chose a check print shirt, be sure to do the buttons up halfway and tie at the waist a'la Audrey! I've given two different options for shorts, cotton or denim and two different options for shoes.. if you are actually on a boat maybe go for the cute classic plimsolls but I think these cork and white flatforms are so lovely! 

That's all folks! Hope you liked this blogpost, make sure to comment (or follow!) if you did! I'll be back soon with a Marilyn inspired outfit post! 

LOVE
