202. It's a funny sort of day

Coat:  Vintage Collar Clips:  Home made - DIY Shirt:  Vintage Jeans:  New Look (Extremely old!) Shoes:  New Look/Charity Shop  

Hey there beauties!

 

Today I went for a little shopping spree with my Mum and my Nan and Grandad. We popped to B&M as we had never been before and I had seen the perfect bedside tables for my new room (more news on that soon!), so we thought we would explore! It is absolutely amazing in there, like The Range but cheaper! And I do love The Range. If you haven't been or heard of it already then check out the website here. The only downside is that you cannot order online which is a little annoying, so use the search bar to see if there is a store near you :)

 

Anyway, I was feeling rather casual but classic today and this is what I came up with. I usually always tuck in shirts or blouses into my bottoms as I think I look bigger than I am if I leave them hanging out (which is not good mixed with my short 5 foot height!), but I felt it kind of worked today. I have had these jeans for absolute jeans! Since I started working at New Look, which is over 5 years ago, so they are extremely old but I still love them! I thought I would add a little detail with my gold collar clips that I made using a pair of vintage earrings and a gold chain to attach. I still have plenty of earring left over so I will be selling them very soon on my Etsy store :) Lastly I finished with my white pointed shoes which have a low heel to give my outfit a classic, sophisticated look, and of course my vintage coat which I can not stop wearing!!

 

I don't know about you guys and where you live but the weather is really horrible at the moment! It's so muggy at hot, it's a job to know weather to even bother with a coat or not! I jolly hope the sun makes an appearance soon, I'm getting fed up of not knowing what to wear! ;)

201. That Fairy Feeling

Headband:  Crown and Glory

Jumper:  Charity Shop

Belt:  New Look

Shorts:  Charity Shop

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello lovelies,

 

Today I felt rather girly and fairy-like when I opted for this outfit. I bought these shorts from a charity shop last summer and had yet to wear them so I decided today would be the day! I have since come to the conclusion that these shorts are supposed to be pj bottoms but I'll still wear them as I think they look really sweet all the same and work nicely with this lilac jumper which I also thrifted. I also think they would look really cute with a little cami top too. 

 

As I was feeling 'fairy-like' it only seemed right that I wear my first and only Crown and Glory headband, which my chummie Paige gifted to me. I absolutely love the Crown and Glory range. Everything is so pretty and girly, I wish I could just buy it all! I'm going to have to add to my collection very soon, I cannot resist any longer! Especially the headbands as they are just perfect for the summer days (which we are yet to see!). If you haven't checked out their website then please do, it is full of such wonderful pieces from headbands to bows and much, much more! http://crownandglory.bigcartel.com/

 



Charity Shop Haul

Hello beauties,

 

Last Thursday I went charity shopping with two of my friends and we found a whole bunch of goodies, so much so that I thought I would share them with you. We went to Cosham, Fareham and Eastleigh; all of which are amazing for charity shops. I always find atleast one thing when shopping in each of these places so you can imagine me and my friends having a feild day when we went to all three in one day!

 

Anyway, here is a little look at everything I bought on the day from my Instagram and a little video at the end too when I go through each item in more detail :)

 

I hope you like what I bought!

 

197. That Spring smile...

Blouse:  Charity Shop Collar Clips/Clip-on earrings:  Charity Shop Necklace:  Gift Belt:  Vintage Skirt:  Vintage Shop in Paris  

Evening lovelies,

 

Here is today's look, rather fresh and Spring-like I feel :) I put this outfit together on a whim this morning and have actually fallen in love with it as it's so light and fresh and makes me dream of Spring (which should infact be here by now!!). I added the collar clips (clip-on earrings) on the tips of the collar on the blouse for detail as it matched one of the blue/green shades in the skirt. I often buy clip-on earrings from charity shops and use them as collar clips for a touch of detail. I have also sold a few which are attached by a chain and hopefully I will be putting more up for sale soon if anyone is interested?

 

I also love this sewing machine necklace which my Mum bought me for Christmas last year. It is so relevant to my life and my passion and I dream of owning a real vintage Singer sewing machine one day!

 

Anyway, I hope you guys like my outfit for today. I have a slightly different post planned for tomorrow so stay tuned for that :)

Hello beauties,

 

Another outfit post for you this week, you lucky so and so's ;) I have been getting up half an hour earlier than I usually would to take outfit photos so hopefully I can keep this up and keep you posted more regularly on what I'm wearing.

 

I went for a pretty casual but still chic outfit today as I was off to London again and had a very busy day ahead of me so I wanted to wear something comfortable but still stylish. I also wore my fur coat with this as it was absolutely freezing today!!

 

Have you all had a good week? I had my first toile review yesterday for my finaly collection in uni and my feedback was so positive it really built up my confidence knowing that I am on the right track :) I was absolutely beaming afterwards and pretty much my whole group was after their tutorials too which was awesome!

 

Hope you all have a good weekend!

 



188. Geek Chic

Bag: Charity Shop

Everything else:  New Look

 

Good morning beauties!

 

I am up bright and early today as I have work, yet again...But hey ho, I thought I would get outside and take my outfit photos as it will be dark by the time I get home. I'm going for a sort of 'Geek Chic' look today with the geek glasses but I quite like it. I have had these geek glasses for a while now but haven't actually worn them because I think they make me look too geeky, but I'm going with it today and embracing the geek look! We'll see what people think, I don't know why I care but I do. Horrible trait to have. Does anyone else care what other people think about what they wear etc even when you know you shouldn't?

 

Anyway, Merry Christmas Eve, Eve! I hope you all have a lovely day and please check out my YouTube video if you haven't already. Another will be coming very soon!!

 

187. It's us against the world

Jumper:  Charming Magpie's

Skirt:  In love with fashion

Socks:  Peacocks

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello everyone!

 

Here is today's look, all warm and snug in my vintage jumper and lace socks! I bought these socks yesterday from Peacocks and they're actually age 7-10 but still fit so I'm happy haha! I've gone a bit monochrome today without that intention, but I still really like this outfit dispite the lack of colour. Infact I mainly wanted to wear the pleated skirt as I mentioned it in my YouTube video yesterday as it's one of my new favourites. If you haven't already seen my first video click here and please give a thumbs up or subscribe if you want to see more! I did do another video this afternoon on the charity items that I bought today, however it was all out of focus so I'll shoot it again tomorrow hopefully. Stay tuned!!

 

Hope you're all getting in the festive mood, I'll be doing a Christmas post on Christmas Eve :) Have a lovely weekend!

 



186. Everything at once

Blazer:  Charity Shop

Blouse:  New Look (old)

Shorts:  Greece

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello lovelies!

 

This is my outfit for today, feeling very festive with the red. I bought this blazer in Farnham on Wednesday when I was visiting my boyfriend. I saw it on the rail and instantly fell in love with the colour and pattern but it looked massive! I couldn't resist trying it on anyway and then I fell into an even deeper love! Ha! Sooo I bought it, and with a bit taken in at the sides and arms and the shoulders raised here it is! It is still over-sized but I really like that with vintage clothes so I'm happy with the way it looks :) What do you think?

 

Also, I will be posting about my latest giveaway tomorrow evening, as promiced, to celebrate Silent Sweetheart reaching over 300 followers so keep an eye out for that!

Hat:  New Look

Blazer:  Charity Shop

Necklace:  H&M

Top:  New Look

Disco Pants:  River Island

Boots:  New Look

 

Ah, second post of today! I did have another but thought I'd better leave that one for tomorrow, don't want to overload you all! Anyway, this is today's outfit. I couldn't, and still sort of can't, decide whether or not the blue blazer and blue boots was a bit much especially with the hat but I thought I'd go with the flow and just wear it anyway! I'm off out with a couple of friends in mo for a much needed catch up so if I get any funny looks I'll know what they're thinking, ha!

 

I wasn't actually going to blog or Lookbook this look because my best images came out really grainy, but I thought the two at the top weren't so bad, plus it has been a century since I uploaded an outfit!! So anyway, what do you think? I bought the boots and the hat yesterday when I went shopping (which will be mentioned in tomorrow's post) so I was eager to wear them both today. I know it may not be to some people's taste, but hey ho! I'm going with the flow! ....And rhyming apparently?!

 

Enjoy your weekend!
