1920's

My head accessory for the 20's night! 

some friend's sporting their 20's style

20's lads

Oh Hi!

Recently I went to a 1920's themed evening, It was so much fun! We dressed up accordingly and I thought I'd post our costumes up on here :) 

I went for a darker 1920's flapper vibe with a black H&M flapper dress and some Henry Holland for Pretty Polly suspender tights, I accessorised with a beaded head piece which i actually got at Claire's Accessories! (Although I don't recommend going to buy anything there.. I thought it would be cheap and cheerful but this  piece actually set me back £9.00 and broke instantly!! I had to sew it back together before I even left the house! Ok.. Rant over haha)

My friend Lizzie went for a lighter look with this absolutely gorgeous cream beaded dress from River Island which fitted the theme really well and really was so beautiful (I had dress envy) .Her token strings of pearls and a cute pearl head band complete the look! 

The boys went for a dapper look of white shirts, braces and different head wear.. V.chic boys!

cute!

I'm going on Holiday! YAY! I'm going to Morocco for a week and a half and I'm so excited. In preparation I bought these little pink espadrilles to walk around the dusty town in instead of flip flops.. they cost me £3.00 from Asda! I was so chuffed with my purchase and not only are they cheap they are also so cute, check out the little Zebras printed on them!

Anyway,

hope all's lovely where you are!
See you when I get back from my holiday!

full look and a pout.. why not?

This is just an Outfit Of The Day (ootd) post,

I spent the weekend at my brothers flat in East London and it has an amazing roof terrace where I sunbathed all day! I went to a few shops and stuff during the day so I wore this brown maxi but tied it to the side because it was so sunny! I just wore a bandeau as a top which meant no tan lines on my shoulders! I think you can get away with wearing just a bandeau as long as you are wearing something *very* high waisted and it's really hot! haha

anyway hope the sun is shining where you are!

Hello!

I wore this outfit for a bbq this weekend. It's a really cute jumpsuit I got from a charity shop ages ago and haven't worn much but have fallen back in love with. Often clothes from charity shops can be a bit big so a tip from me is to roll the sleeves and legs up to a bit further then needed to make it look like it's meant to be like that! This jumpsuit was a bit baggy on the waist too but I just chucked a skinny belt round it and VOILA it works really well I think!

So as to make sure I don't look too 'Vintage'd up' I threw on some black and shiny gold accessories to toughen up the look and make it a bit more modern  :)

When I shop in Charity shops I tend to go in with an open mind, think what you could do with what they have.. It might be a really cute dress but its just a little long, or baggy.. little changes like cutting and re-sewing hems and darts don't take long and it means you have spent very little money on an item that you won't see anyone else in! I also like to buy studs and spikes that I can stud into old denim or clothes I've bought in charity shops.. you can buy the studs on ebay for pretty cheap and once again you've got an original piece in no time at all! It's totally worth it, so next time you are in a Charity shop think about the changes you could make to make something to make it extra special!

I'm wearing a maxi dress again! Surprise Surprise! I added a jersey tank top tied at the middle, keeping the outfit casual. However, the main reason for this outfit post is to show this amazing jewelry from Kukee.co.uk, I got two bangles - one gold one silver and they are amazing to just throw on with an outfit to make it look a bit more fashion-y and special, plus they are sooo shiny!

Best of all is this ear/hair cuff which has a comb piece on the end of the chains to put into your hair! It's so great because it makes a plain,boring bun into something cool and punky! I'm obsessed, plus they are selling similar ones on ASOS.com for much more money. I strongly recommend you have a look on Kukee.co.uk for cheap, fashion forward and amazing jewlery!

my pink bbq!

Hello :)

Just wanted to show my way of styling bralets, I got this little denim number from Topshop this summer and  it makes me feel like RiRi haha. I always style my bralets with something high waisted because otherwise I would be showing off way too much skin! I am wearing it with this chiffon midi skirt again and it works really well at keeping the outfit looking classy and cool in the sunshine.

Midi's and maxis are great with bralets because you are showing a bit more skin ontop. I also love to style bralets with my American Apparel disco pants, but any high waisted trousers would look good with them, and give the bralet a bit more of a casual look. I love this denim bralet because the fabric instantly dresses the outfit down and makes it more wearable.

Hello,I'm still enjoying the summer sun and I put together this little ensemble 

I did get a little sunburnt yesterday (silly Dusk) and so I've had to cover up a bit more today,however, it's still boiling hot so I decided on this cropped long sleeve T-shirt from Forever 21 which is a lovely blush/nude colour and makes me feel like a ballerina when I wear it!

 In keeping with the ballerina theme I wore this chiffon Midi length skirt which is a beautiful skirt to wear on a summers day because its thin but still makes you look rather sophisticated! I used to hate Midi length skirts on me but I've grown to really like the length, I think it adds a 'grown up' feeling to an outfit.

Our Picnic

I had an amazing picnic with my sister and mother and I thought I'd share some pictures from that (look how huge that strawberry was!) It was a really lovely way to spend an afternoon in the garden.

Hot Summer Days in White

At last British summer has arrived! It's so hot here in London and I found it the perfect opportunity to pull out this white see through Jersey maxi dress from Forever 21. I've mentioned before how this waterfall shape skirt is so over popular in High Street shops at the moment but its a great way for shorter people to wear a maxi skirt without looking swamped. I love this one as its made of a really cool textured Jersey, however, as it is see through I hadn't found anything to wear it with.. In the end I chucked it over a long simple jersey vest top from H&M and it worked a charm. Just add a belt and sandals and you're ready to face the hot summer sun. PERFECT.

In Other News

I finally bought Essie nail polish in Mint Candy Apple and I haven't regretted it a bit - it's such a pretty colour! As soon as I went out with it on a waitress in a restaurant fawned over its prettiness, therefore leaving me to believe the £7.99 price tag was in fact worth it...hm. 

Hope it's sunny where you are too!
