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/

 



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 :)

 

 

Recent Inspiration

All photos found on pinterest.



I recently came across these beautiful, whimsical images whilst researching for my univeristy project and just thought they were so light and pretty and I wanted to share them with you. The forth image, of the girl facing the left, I have actually had saved probably since 2011 as I initially found it on tumblr but I have recently found that it is from Pull & Bear's Spring 2011 Campaign.

 



'Have you seen the glowing bunny?'

Hello lovelies! Me and my gorgeous friend and fellow blogger, Paige, did a mini photo shoot yesterday for a bit of fun so I thought I would show you how the images turned out. We just set up a sort of fun/fantasy theme using her glowing bunny as a prop!

We also did a second shoot which I will post within the next few days. Keep checking Paige's blog here as she will be posting photos from the shoot soon too! But for now, these are my favourites from the first shoot, I hope you enjoy them!

 

156. Boyish.

Everything:  New Look

So this was yesterday's look, quite boyish and different to what I usually wear but I fancied a change so instead of wearing the usual dollie shoes or heels I went for floral high-tops. The look is really simple but still holds detail with the necklace, belt and studded shorts, and it was so comfortable - perfect for when you're at work and on your feet all day!

Hope you've all had a good weekend!



139. Have faith.

Jacket:  New Look

Top:  Max C London

Maxi Skirt:  New Look

Shoes:  Primark

Hello beauties! How are you all today? I'm still having to wear clothes with no tights or socks due to my tattoo, which by the way kept me up all night because it is so itchy where it is healing, so I put on this maxi skirt and top and chucked my hair up, but quite like the casual, laid back look. What do you think? (And I'm not going to lie, I love that you can see my tattoo throught the slit in my skirt!)

I popped into town for a catch up with two of my lovely friends today, which was so lovely as I haven't seen them in so long! We also did a cheeky bit of shopping which is when I bought this jacket from New Look. I saw it in the baby pink colour at first and really liked the style but not the colour, but then low and behold I saw it in black and just had to get it! It is really light weight and casual so will go with everything. It's a bit like having that favourite blazer or cardigan that you wear with everything, I can tell I'm going to be wearing it a lot!! I also bought a really sweet little woven bag from New Look and a vintage floral dress from Urban Outfitters which I am in love with! (Sorry Leigh :P ) I'll show you the goodies I bought tomorrow and some wants that I have my eye on! :)

Don't forget to enter the giveaway below for your chance to win a handmade skirt and collar, both made by me, and spread the word too!

127. Give me that floral feeling

Headband:  New Look

Top:  New Look Limited Edition (Old)

Shorts:  Charming Magpies

Shoes:  New Look (Kids)

Hello lovelies! Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately, I've been out in the garden enjoying the sun so I have just been wearing tops and shorts mainly, but yesterday I decided to dress all floral and summery! So this is what I wore yesterday, very floral indeed! But I wanted to wear something fun and this is what I came up with. My boyfriend said I look like a fairy.. haha! For this outfit I tried laying out my clothes on my bed first, like the images in my last post, and it actually really helps deciding what accessories and shoes to put with an outfit. Plus it is a lot quicker than putting clothes on and taking them off again when you don't like the outfit! I'll be taking photo's all week and I'll upload them on Friday so that you can see wha outfits I came up with this week.

I had such a lovely day yesterday! My Dad bought us a little pool so me and my friend's and boyfriend spent the day filling that with water (luckily we're not in the hosepipe ban!!) and then we had a bbq and chilled out in the pool, although by the time it was full it was freezing!! Haha! Hopefully I'll get some use out of it today.

Anyway, I hope you've all had a good start to the week!!



Flowermania Photoshoot

Hello beauties! I received an email today containing a few of the photo's from the photo shoot I did a few weeks ago, mentioned in this post. I thought I'd share them with you because I love the styling that the girls did, holding some inspiration from Lana Del Ray. I had such a fun time on the shoot considering I've never really modelled for anyone before so I hope you like them!
