152. I rock a lot of polka dots




Scarf:  Primark
Everything else:  New Look

Hello, hello! This is what I wore to work today, hence everything bar the scarf being from New Look! Today was another gorgeous sunny day and I managed to sunbathe for a couple of hours after work to top up the tan, however I've heard we have a storm coming in tomorrow - typical British weather - but I'm really hoping we don't, we deserve sun from now on!! I also want to shoot and post one of my new features tomorrow so I'm hoping it won't be raining :/

Anyway, on to the outfit! I am wearing another simple, summery outfit today as it is SO hot outside, even as I type it's still really hot and it's evening now, I love it! I decided to wear my navy polka dot shorts today and pick out the white from the spots to work the rest of the outfit. I also added in a plaited brown belt to divide the outfit a little and paired the shorts with the scarf on my bag. It's quite co-ordinated I have to say! Haha. What do you think of it? Do you like the co-ordinated look?

I hope you're all making the most of the sunshine (if you have any!) because I'm sure it won't stick around :( Although, if the weather would like to prove me wrong then please, feel free ;)

136. One day..




Blouse:  New Look
Skirt:  DIY/Self Made
Shoes:  New Look

Hello! This is what I wore today, and yet again I managed to get some photos before the horrible rain came down! I made this skirt for myself last year but have only worn it once so it was good to dig it out and wear it again! The material is actually from an old pair of curtains I think! Haha! But I really like it and still have loads left so I may make something else from it too :)

Today I went to Winchester for lunch and a catch up with my lovely friend, Victoria (you can find her blog here). We went to the Tea Rooms for lunch and then popped to our favourite vintage shop Charming Magpies. I really love everything in there and the lady who works there is so lovely and always recognises me which is nice :) Unfortunately I didn't buy anything today but I am going back in a couple of weeks for a rumage again! They have a £5 rail at the moment which is a complete bargain for anything vintage! I almost bought a dress to turn into a skirt but I just wasn't sure about the bright colours. Oh and I almost bought a really garish but amazing jacket/blouse but I knew I had nothing to pair it with. Maybe if they're still there in a couple of weeks then it's meant to be ;) Anyway, check out their Facebook page here.

135. Or so they say..






Jacket:  River Island
Dress:  From a friend
Shoes:  Platforms

Hello, hello! How are you all today? Wearing this really lovely daisy dress today which Paige found in a charity shop and adjusted and then kindly let me have :) I've paired it with this blazer which I bought from River Island last year and I honestly wasn't sure if it would go with the daisy print on the dress, but personally I think it works. What do you think? I really love the clashing prints but somehow the colours all go together. I have then kept it simple with thick black tights and my brown platform shoes which I cannot stop wearing lately!! They are just so comfortable!

Hope you lovelies like it! :)

132. Never back down





Top:  Primark (Very, very old!)
Shorts:  New Look
Shoes:  Primark

Helloo!! Second post of today, as I mentioned I would do below. This is what I wore Saturday night to my friends house party for her birthday. I look drunk/tired in these photos but I promice I wasn't! The light was shinning right in my eyes. I had no idea what to wear so I just sort of threw this together, which seems to be what I am doing with all of my looks this week! I think the outfit inspiration post has really helped me to wear different outfits without buying new clothes! As I said last week, the photos of my outfits will be up at the end of this week, so look out for that! Or if you have Instagram you can follow me and see them now @kirsti24 :)

Happy Jubilee everyone!!

131. This isn't everything you are








Dress:  New Look
Socks:  Topshop
Brogues:  Primark

Hey lovelies! This is what I wore to work on Saturday. I wanted to wear my tropical trousers, seen in this post, but I need to take them in a little so I just wore this dress instead. It's starting to cool down where I live now but it wasn't cold enough to wear tights so I went with the pop socks and brogues instead. Hope you like it!

P.s - My outfit from Saturday night will be up tonight and my outfit from Sunday will be up tomorrow.

130. Bring me sunshine on a cloudy day






Jumper: Present from Paige
Shorts:  Greece
Socks:  New Look
Brogues:  Primark
Bag:  Primark

Happy Friday! How is everyone today? Is everyone looking forward to the Jubilee? I really wanted to wear this jumper that my lovely friend, and fellow blogger, Paige gave me so I laid it out on my bed and started putting an outfit together, and this is what I came up with. If I hadn't laid the clothes on my bed first I don't think I would have ever thought about pairing these burgundy shorts with the baby blue jumper but I think it actually works quite well. I added a bit of detail and texture with the brown plaited belt and then though I would accessorize using brown shades to tie it all in.

I have been taking pictures of outfits, like in this post, and have found that it really helps! These images will be uploaded next week so you can see what outfits I came up with.

108. I've seen it in the flights of birds






Flower:  New Look
Belt:  Vintage
Shoes:  River Island

I feel like I have just stepped out of the 1950's today - which I love! I would have loved to have been born back then to wear pretty floral dresses every day, but alass I wasn't. Fortunately, thanks to Sugarhill Boutique sending me this gorgeous navy and white swallow and polka dot dress, I can dream for the day. I have accessorized the dress with a chunky white belt, a white flower in my hair and white sandals inkeeping with the navy and white theme of the dress. It also has a lace-up back which you can see in the image below.




There is just something about this dress that would make anyone feel girly! And looking on the Sugarhill Boutique website I can imagine feeling pretty and feminine in any of their clothes! I came across the website a few weeks ago, after seeing their Facebook page I just had to look at the website and I literally fell in love! If you haven't already heard of Sugarhill Boutique I urge you to click on the link to their website and take a look as there is bound to be something you'll love! Here are a few of my favourites from the site:
