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!

Winchester Fashion Week

Hello! As I mentioned in a post from last week, I put my work forward to feature in Winchester Fashion Week. I went to the catwalk show on Thursday night and it was so good! I went last year aswell but this year every piece of work was truely amazing! Capital FM were there and you can find their article and images here. I have a few images of my work below that my Dad took, and the first one is from Glen Jevon Photography. It was so weird seeing my work up on the catwalk but oh so amazing at the same time! I was so proud, haha! Anyway, enjoy!

138. I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it

Everything:  New Look

Hello beauties! My, my it has been a while since my last outfit post, and I know that this is a kind of boring outfit to come back to, but hey, it's what I'm wearing today! All week I have been wearing jeans, trousers and maxi skirts/dresses to avoid wearing tights and socks due to my tattoo, and it has been so difficult! As you all know I usually wear tights or pop socks with my outfits so not being about to has been a challenge! So this is what I came up with today. I forgot I had these camel coloured, 70's style trousers so I thought I would wear them for a change pairing them with my cream blouse.

It was mine and my boyfriend's 4 year anniversary yesterday and we had a lovely day strawberry picking (then dipping the strawberries into chocolate! Yum!) and cinema-ing! I can't believe it has been 4 years!! But I am so increadibly happy!

Also, I have just opened my Etsy shop which you can find here. There is only one item on there so far (depending on when you read this, there may be more now!) as it keeps taking ages to load! But if you want to see what is on offer then check out my Facebook page here. I am also holding a giveaway as of tomorrow to celebrate so pop back tomorrow to enter!

Anyway, enough of the rambling, it's good to be back after a few days of being away! I hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

UPDATE

Hello beauties! I thought I would do a mini update of what I have been up to via Instagram photos. I have been making lots of collars to sell on my Etsy which will hopefully be up and running next week and will be available to fellow UKer's. I will also be making skirts and shorts to sell and then hopefully dresses and playsuits aswell so keep a look out! I have a picture below of some lilac shorts that I made for Demi too!

I also got my tattoo extended today. I know some of you may be against tattoo's but I really wanted to show you all what I had done. I got the first little Taurus symbol (right hand side, below) done 3 years ago and finally extended it, after years of wondering, into an anklet with another little symbol, the letter 'O', to represent my cat who passed away last month after having him since I was 4 years old. Some people will think it's stupid to get a tattoo for a pet, and I always said I would never do it, but they become part of the family and since I am 21 and he was in my life for 17 of those years it just felt right. So, make any judgement you please, I have no regrets! :)

Lastly, I'll be going to Winchester Fashion Week on Thursday so I will post up photos soon!

137. Tropical

Top:  New Look

Trousers:  New Look

Shoes:  Primark

Hello! This is what I wore to work today. I thought I would add in the last image for a laugh, blinking just as the photo is being taken! Haha! I have had these tropical trousers for a couple of weeks now but haven't been able to wear them as they were a little big around the waist, but last night I took them in a little so that I could wear them today. I just paired them with a simple, high-neck top, silver chain and white shoes as the tropical print is very bright and in your face. I had quite a few compliments on my trousers today aswell which was nice!

Lookbook won't let me upload my look just yet which is a pain, but I'll keep trying and hopefully it will be up by tomorrow!

So much to blog about!! (IMAGE & INFO HEAVY)

Hellooo!! First of all, I appologise for bombarding you all with so many blog posts lately but there is just so much to blog about! This week has been really exciting for me and to top it off, my business cards came today!!

If you don't already know, in about two weeks I will be starting to sell some of the clothes that I make, ranging from shorts to skirts to peter pan collars. More updates on this will be coming in the following weeks on how you can buy them and prices etc. Knowing that I would be selling these clothes I bought some business cards from MOO and they actually came a week early which is really good! I will also be using the business cards for other things too to spread the word and network, but for now here are some photos of my cards, which I personally designed myself.

They came in an amazing 100% recycled box and with 5 10% off vouchers which I can give to friends and a further 15% off for me when I buy some more. I honestly couldn't be happier! I did originally look at Vistaprint, however I didn't like how it set out my design so I went with MOO, but Vistaprint are still really good and very cheap so it's worth a look! What do you think? Have any of your guys got some business cards from other websites?

In other news, I entered the garments which I made for uni (seen in this post) into Winchester Fashion Week today. They will be featured on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th of June in the Cirque Du Fashion Catwalk Show. The fashion week starts tomorrow and they have so much going on including a vintage fair on Sunday 10th and a sewing workshop on Monday 11th. If you live near Winchester it is really worth checking it out and if possible come to the catwalk shows next week too! You can buy tickets here.
