We're All Going To The Zoo

Hey guys,

this past Saturday I was lucky enough to spend the day at London Zoo with some of (there are a fair few of us in all!) my wonderful family, and 'rain or shine' we were determined to have fun :). I thought I would share some pics of my day & the outfit I wore! I always have loved the zoo! One of my clearest memories is driving past London Zoo in our old campervan and my dad pointing out the tops of the Giraffes' heads popping out above the fence!

DRESS & BOOTS - PRIMARK, SHIRT - H&M, SUNGLASSES - ANTHRO, COAT - VINTAGE 

Well that's all for now folks! Hope you liked all my silly animal pics and my #ootd & of course I hope you enjoyed this post!

LOVEEEEEEEEE

A Selection of Outfits

Hey Guys,

Today's post is a selection of outfits I have worn over the last month or so. I have been edging towards warmer weather dressing but still haven't delved into the bare legs genre yet (It'll take more than 'slightly sunny' England is offering at the moment to get to that point methinks). However, I have been adding more pastel colours & lighter fabrics to the mix, which is very welcome..I am delighted to finally pack away the heavy knit jumpers and bulky winter coats till October!

 Suzy Bishop

 I wore this dress as soon as it arrived, I was so pleased to receive it! It's the 'suzy' dress from vintagestyle.me and I think its ADORBALE. It's perfect for spring & so totally Suzy (Suzy Bishop from Mooonrise Kingdom - if you haven't seen it yet...just....just go watch it now ok?) And yes I do dress like I'm 12 occasionally..

Dress - Vintage Style Me

Tights & boots - Primark

YeeHa!

Next up is this gorgeous shirt/cardigan hybrid I picked up from Collectif in the sale. I love Collectif but find I can only really excuse buying clothes in there in the sale! This shirt is so perfectly cowgirl-esque and I have a little obsession with cowboys so it is my new favourite thing!

Shirt - Collectif 

Jeans & brogues - Primark

Sunglasses - Anthropologie 

Leather Jacket - Miss Selfridge

Florals for Spring - Groundbreaking

I got this vintage floral midi skirt at a vintage market in Dorset. It came as part of an 80's co-ord which is so diviiiiiiiiiiiine and I can't wait to wear the set when the sun comes out! But, for now I shall suffice styling the lovely flowy skirt with black accessories. Get ready to see a whole lot more of this skirt through the Spring & Summer!

Skirt - Vintage

Top, Shoes - Primark

60's Mini

 This skirt was another bargain picked up (by my dear Mama) in the River Island sale... River Island is SOO hit or miss, sometimes I go in there and hate all the over the top patterned embellishment and sometimes I go in and lust after every last thing! Anyway, this skirt is like my 1960's DREAM, I have paired it with black again as the sun was yet to rear its head..however, I'm unsure my pins are nice enough to wear such a mini skirt without tights anyway!!

Keeping it Casual

Last of all is this 'casual' 'everyday' type outfit, I have this jersey drapey tee for uniform from work and its super cosy - it also has a zip up the back so it can be worn the other way around as a cardigan! What a dream! I've paired it with my normal black skinny jeans, black chelsea boots combo!

I hope you liked this post, leave your instagram names down below for a follow so we can snoop at each others OOTDS asap! :) 

LOVEEEEEE

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee

How To Wear Vintage: OOTDS

LOOK 1

A dressed up look for Autumn - I braved it with the skin coloured tights - so chilly!! Replace with thick woolly 

tights if you aren't feeling like freezing your butt off!! Anyway,this is my more dressed up look for Autumn. I think this outfit is perfect for a lunch date or early evening date! I love mixing Vintage and high street pieces. I think this is a great way to make my fantastically tacky 80s crop top look more contemporary!

In This Outfit

Turquoise Collie Dog Top - Vintage

Brown Jersey pencil skirt - H&M

Scarf- Barbour

Brown heels - New Look

LOOK 2

 Here I'm wearing a casual daytime look, you could wear this to college or shopping in the Autumn/Winter!

When I got this 50's dress it was ankle length and had a full skirt.. I cut off the skirt as you may be able to tell from my wonky cutting haha, i love it now though. Just goes to show how a tiny bit of editing can make a previously 'old-fashioned' looking piece look really on trend and modern!

In This Outfit:

Grey collared dress - Vintage

Brown and gold buckle belt - Vintage

Black tights - Primark

Black shoes - New Look

Grey Beret - H&M

LOOK 3

This is more of a 'going out' outfit!

 Here I styled this fantastic 80s silk blazer with my disco pants and a bow tie and shirt.When a vintage piece is as bold as this one is you might as well make a statement out of it! I love wearing this silk blazer tied round the middle with my tight fitting disco pants to balance out the great, but rather voluminous, 80s shoulders. You could also cut out the shoulder pads of your vintage clothes if you want to make them look more  fashionable and contemporary.                                                                        

In This Outfit:

Pink silk blazer : Vintage

White bow collar shirt - ASOS

Black Disco Pants - American Apparel

Black Panama hat - River Island

Black and white heeled brouges - Topshop

Hope you are all having a lovely Autumn, I'm getting pretty excited for winter/christmas!!
