Moroccan Holiday Part 2

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 

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

(press the pics to make 'em bigger)

Outfit One:

Black leotard - American Apparel

Peach midi skirt - ASOS

White belt - Charty shop

Black lace bandeau - River Island

I wear this black leotard all the time in the winter as a staple piece but this was a great way to bring it into my summer wardrobe! I really like it with this bright peach skirt, it made a nice evening outfit. The back of the leotard is really low so I had to put a little lace bandeau underneath!

Outfit Two:

Coral Shirt - River Island

Brown Jersey Maxi - River Island

Black skinny belt - Topshop

I wore this jersey maxi quite a lot while I was away because I felt the colour really worked! I like it with this coral top, I never would have put these two together normally but when I tried this I liked the palette, tres cute!

Outfit Three:

Brown jersey maxi skirt/dress - River Island

Brown and Gold belt- Topshop

Gold necklace - Tophop/diy

Black flatforms - River Island

Here's an evening outfit I put together to go for drinks with some friends while we were there. I decided to wear my maxi skirt as a dress, which is a great way to get more use out of one! I simply chucked a brown and gold belt round the middle and wore a chunky gold necklace and I thought it ended up as a pretty cute outfit! This is defo one of my fav outfits of the trip!

Outfit Four:

White vest - H&M

White bandeau - River Island

Peach silk skirt - Charity shop

Grey belt - Charity shop

Lastly I wore this outfit which I thought was really cute! I wore my peach silk midi from a charity shop and muy plain jersey vest, I put a little white bandeau underneath and it turned out pretty nicely! I really like the lighter colour palette in this outfit :)

Hope you're all well!

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!

LOVE

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!

LOVE

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 did some quick pastel coloured nail art the other day and thought I'd post it. This was so quick and easy and can be done with just a thin paint brush or even a toothpick!

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!

I found these two LIFE magazine specials in a book shop in Golders Green the other day and I love them. They are full of amazing behind the scene and Iconic pictures of the two beautiful stars and make great coffee table books,plus I got them for £3.99 each! Bargain! :)

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!
