Beneath Your Tree

Another beautiful item from Miss Patina.
This gorgeous little playsuit is so pretty! I love the ruffled top detail, which can be worn either off or on the shoulder for different effects. I am wearing it with a vintage bag I got from a car boot sale, boots also from a car boot sale, and thought I would top off the boho vibe with a plait across the forehead!

My Darling Curse

In this heat its easier just to wear comfy basics.. so that is what I am doing! I got this great little top this weekend for 50p, Its from H&M originally and has a really lovely scooped back, something which I haven't really worn before.
Speaking of comfy basics, I was informed about a great giveaway on UK based site 'Hush'. When you place an order with them you are entered into a daily draw where you can win your entire order for free! Its only happening until the end of May so act fast! :)

Heart Skipped A Beat

Its so hot in England at the moment, difficult to wear much at all!!
These cut offs are some more D.I.Y ones from old jeans, teamed with a vintage belt, cropped cardigan and little slouchy boots I bought at the bootsale today for £2.
Hope everyone has enjoyed soaking up the sun.

Midnight & I

Today has been such amazing weather here! Mainly spent the day lying in the sun with good music on.. My face is a little burnt right now.. !
This cardigan is one i picked up at a carboot sale and it was only 10p!! The shorts are cut offs made from old top shop jeans, and the top is one from the kate moss at topshop collection.
Looking forward to a weekend filled with sunshine, music and good company!

Easy/Lucky/Free

Wearing the Emma cook boots again (trying to get used to the height!) Lace cami top from Topshop layered over a Rick owens tank, Jeans from Topshop and blazer from Next.

My Heart Comes Undone

I HAVE EMMA COOK BOOTS!!!!!
I did an impulse bid on ebay and managed to get them with one bid for £51! So pleased with them. I am really not a high heels kind of girl but these ones were just too beautiful to resist. The heel is HUGE but they are surprisingly comfy! Only problem is when i wear them i'm a good few inches taller than Ebn which means he will never allow me to wear them out with him!
Im also wearing a topshop vest dress with a lace top layered over and a vintage waist belt.
p.s Ebn took the pictures today which explains my silly expression in one - thought I would upload it for those who ask me why I never smile.. Now you can see why!

In Bloom

Its items like this that make me excited to go rummaging in a charity shop! I found this amazing authentic vintage jumpsuit which I think is probably from the 70's era for £3.00. It such a great print and is so nice and easy to wear - will be great for hot days over the summer!
I wanted to ask everyone's advice on whether you think I should leave it as a long leg or whether i should cut it into shorts? I'm tempted to cut it...but not 100% sure!

Dance Across The Battle

I recently received a beautiful little package of items from a cute online store called 'Miss Patina' which is a new brand created by students from the London College Of Fashion. They offer a lovely little range of on trend and individual items at prices similar to Topshop, but you are getting something a lot more unique for the money. I love so much on this site, its all so pretty and summery, definitely worth checking out...and they offer free shipping worldwide too.
I am wearing the 'floral princess' dress, which also comes in black. I have teamed this with a vintage blazer i picked up at a car boot sale, vintage tan belt also from a carboot sale,and Knee high socks from asos.
Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday xx

Recycled Hearts

Was going to take some outdoorsy pictures again today but it was grey and gloomy. I want the sunshine to come back! Im wearing the same shorts I always seem to be wearing in these posts, and a shirt from a charity shop. The little clutch bag is actually a vintage mens shaving kit case!!
Going to be uploading some more floral and sring themed photos soon so check back for them over the weekend!

At The End Of The Sky

I was a lucky girl this morning and received this beautiful shirt in the post from an online fashion boutique www.kisami.com.
I personally am always on the lookout for new online stores especially in the U.K (although this one does ship worldwide!) so this was a nice little discovery. They have a great range of items from lots of new designers and brands and the quality is beautiful. Check out their permanent sale which is updated regularly and join their facebook page here: Kisami for discounts and news...
The top itself is gorgeous, It has a high neckline with lots of volume and cute little rose detail. I wore it tucked into high waisted cut off shorts (my own D.I.Y) and knee high socks from asos. If you like it they have it in white for a more summery approach!
I thought I would use the nice weather today and venture outdoors to take advantage of the beautiful blossoms all on their way out, so there are lots of photos today!

Malpractice

Went to a bank holiday bootsale today and got this cute little dungaree dress for 50p, and this silver cross for 75p! Got a few other bits and bobs which I will show you all in outfit posts during the week.. The rest of the outfit consists of a top from asos, and vintage military boots off ebay.
Hope everyone has enjoyed the long weekend!

Where The Wind Blows..

The weather has taken a turn for the worst again and is cold and rainy like we should expect in England! So layers are a must now.. Jacket is from Topshop, Curve hem vest from asos, Shirt from Kimchi & Blue, Beanie stolen from Ebn, Boots are vintage...

Ship In A Bottle

Found these fab high waisted trousers in the charity shop today for £1.50, and the top is a vintage one. I have never been much of a fan of high waisted trousers as I find it hard to find ones to fit my large waist to hip ratio! But these slouchy ones sit just in the right place for me and I like the baggy look they give.

But Still, I am In Love With This Lie

Yay, new stuff! Well... newish stuff.. I got a few parcels in the post today of things I have been buying on ebay. I got these Topshop Unique jeans which are a little hard to get over my hips but once there they fit beautifully! Also got this jacket (another topshop item). Then later in the day I went to look in the charity shops down the road and found this checked shirt from 'Kimichi & Blue' which is a brand sold at urban outftters. So all in all a good day for bargains.


I wanted to get everyone's advice on an idea I have been toying with regarding my hair.. I saw these pictures on 'studded hearts' and am tempted to go for this ombre gold highlighted look with my hair. I used to dye or cut my hair all the time but recently Ive left it all natural and its become a little boring. Not sure whether I could pull this look off? My roots will certainly be dark enough to give a good contrast! Let me know what you think...
