Moroccan Holiday- Part One!

This post is a bit long! Be warned!

Oh Hi! I'm back from Morocco and I had an absolutely amazing time and I thought I would share my holiday outfit choices with you guys! How fun! 

I did have to cover up a bit when I was walking around but I didn't want to dress dowdily (is dowdily a word? I don't think so.. it's not coming up on spell check so.. Well it is now) 

So.. here's what I chose to wear on the first half of my holiday..hope you enjoy! 

(press the pics to make 'em bigger)

Outfit One-

Black tank top - h&m

Peach silk skirt - Charity Shop

Pastel scarf - Market

Necklace - Topshop

This was an evening outfit in Essaouira I wore this peach silk skirt I bought in a charity shop a week before for  around £3-£4 (bargain) I paired it with a simple vest top and the pastel scarf I bought in the markets of Marrakesh. 

I also wore it with this necklace - I bought this at topshop and it had lots of gold dangley bits hanging off it but I decided I didn't like them anymore so I broke them all off! ..I like it now!)

        

Outfit Two -

Peach Jersey shirt - River Island

Floral trousers - Primark

Blue plimsoles - Primark

Brown belt - River Island

Sunnies - Beyond Retro

This is an outfit I wore to walk around the Souks in Marrakesh.. I love these flower print cotton trousers I bought from Primark those paired with the blue plimsoles I'm wearing were some of my star holiday shopping buys! 

Outfit Three-

Nude jersey long sleeve top - Topshop

Peach silk skirt - Charity shop

White/Grey reversible belt - Charity Shop

Sunglasses - Beyond Retro

Hand of fatima earrings - Essaouira Souk

This is another outfit from Essaouira wearing the same peach skirt but this time with a long sleeve nude top for the  daytime, so that I could be a bit more covered up when I was walking around the Souks.

I wore it with this belt I bought in a charity shop that my boyfriend actually pointed out is reversible and I never realised before! I have always worn it the other way (as a grey belt) but I spent a lot of the holiday wearing it the white way and it felt like a whole new belt :) (it's the little things!)

Outfit Four -

Black and White stripe bikini - Primark

White chiffon Caftan - (Mum's wardrobe - I dunno, I can find out if you really want to know)

Sunnies- Beyond Retro

This is on the rooftop of our Riad in Essaouira where I was free to wear some more revealing - 'holiday-ish' clothes. 

This is actually a sheer white Caftan my mum lent me for the trip! It looked super chic with my classic black and white striped bikini and new Russian Red lipstick by MAC, I am a happy bunny.

Outfit Five -

Peach jersey shirt -River Island 

Turquoise cotton trousers - Primark

Polka dot flip flops - Primark

Sunnies - Beyond Retro

Another star buy here from Primark - these green/turquoise cotton trousers were fantastic on this holiday - they kept me cool but also covered up and also led to some much more colourful outfit choices from me too! I was glad to step of my pinky\nude or black\grey shell and into this coral and turquoise ensemble :) great for covering up on the beach too!

Look!.. It also looks good on a camel! :)

More to come!

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!

In Other News:

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!

The Rooftops of London

(click images to see better)

the chimneys on the roof!

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!

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.

the boyfriend and the bbq :)

I got given this cute mini pink barbecue for Christmas last year and have only just had the chance to get it out and use it and I love it so much :) it's the perfect size for an impromptu bbq for two! Plus I found it entertaining watching my boyfriend being manly and bbqing on a lovely little pink barbecue haha.


Also, I did this nail art with a new white nail art pen I bought and it was so quick and cute I thought I should defo post it on here :) hope you like!

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!
