My Gingham Obsession

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So my obsession with gingham is huge right now and rather all encompassing, sad I know, but I really, really love it! In skirts, trousers, dresses, literally any item of clothing you can name! This skirt is from Zara and is actually part of a two piece, it comes with a cropped strapless top and it’s so cute on. Unfortunately it’s not warm enough in the UK for the full outfit yet, but at least I can wear the skirt. I have it in a size small, which actually fits on the larger size, so I would definitely suggest sizing down.

Following on from the clear Zara obsession, these boots from this wonderful high street store, I am completely in love with. Topshop do a very similar version, however they are more than double the cost of this version, and are pretty much identical. They retail at just under £30, which I think is a bargain. Kitten heels and sock boots are so on trend for spring/summer 2017 and I am very happy with that! Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Finally my white lace top from Boohoo, I have worn so much, it is great for layering and wearing underneath jumpers when the weather is colder. I initially wasn’t sure about the panel at the front that means the top is not sheer across the chest, however it is a god send when you don’t have a white bralet and need a little more modesty in place! I love that lace details and high necks that are in fashion at the minute.

Wide Leg Dungarees and Crop Tops

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Dungarees and crop tops….it sounds like I have been transported back to the days of being carefree and 14 years old! Here I am wearing them years later! I think this dungaree style from ASOS is slightly more grown up, well it feels like that to me! I absolutely love a dungaree, I think they are so flattering and I love pairing them with a crop top. It actually means you can wear a crop without flashing too much skin!

These dungarees are from ASOS, and were an absolute steal in the sale at £12. The fit if I am honest is not great on me, however I love them so much that I think at some point I will get them tailored, to shorten the straps and take the waist in, so they are more fitted around the waist. Wide leg trousers and jeans are so on trend for spring which I love, they are so flattering and elongate the legs.

The white off the shoulder Missguided top is one of my favourites at the minute, I love the off the shoulder style and the long sleeves. I will always be a Missguided girl, such affordable items, what’s not to love! Finally my white ASOS slingbacks I have worn so much, they are really flattering on the leg and especially look great what wide legged jeans.

I Don’t Drive a Harley but I’m Gonna Wear the Tee

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I’ve wanted a vintage Harley Davidson tee for agessssss, ok so you could happily class this as something that is not vintage as it’s clearly 2003, but meh I got it from a vintage seller on Depop, I’m classing it as vintage lol. This tee is in a small and is more fitted than I originally wanted, but actually it’s better this way, as it’s not too bulky when tucking it into things. Vintage band/rock style tee’s are really on trend this season, which I love, can’t wait to pair it with my new Missguided gingham ruffle pencil skirt.

So billy bargain of the century, these culottes from Boohoo were £8 (just checked and apparently they have gone up to £10 now), crazy I know! I have them in very pale pink too and they are such a good fit. The main criteria for me was belt loops…I know, I know, but I want to wear my Gucci belt with literally everything, and it’s annoying to do this without belt loops!!

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Then we’ve got the Gucci, I’m not going to glaze over that one, don’t you worry! Going to let you into a little secret with this, I bought the men’s version in the smallest size (80) as it is wayyyy cheaper to do this. I have had to make extra holes (which was scary) but as long as you are careful it worked fine. This belt is one of the best investments I have ever made and I truly love it. I wear it with everything! Go buy yourself one…you deserve it 🙂

Vintage Tommy Hilfiger and Levis Denim

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I love vintage, in fact years ago myself and one of my best friends actually traded in vintage clothes, a lot has changed since then and I think the real money is in good vintage denim. It’s no surprise that the 90’s trend is huge at the minute and I love it! The jeans are so 90’s it hurts lol! They were a great find though, I bought them from a kilo sale in Nottingham, where you pay for the clothes by weight rather than by item. These jeans were unfortunately not part of this offer, but at £20 were crazy cheap. They are a perfect mix between boyfriend and mom jeans, and so flipping comfy.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I am wearing the jeans with this pink Missguided cropped tee, I have this in white too and it’s such a good staple. I have worn it with various things in pics on my Instagram and it works with pretty much everything. We also need a good pair of white trainers, these Adidas gems I have had for years, and it always surprises me how well they wash in the washing machine!!

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Finally my over-sized vintage Levis denim jacket, it will be such a staple going into spring/summer over little summer dresses or even with vintage Levi cut-offs. I love the idea of buying vintage whenever I can, it saves money and the environment, what more is there to love!

Star Print Dress and Not Looking Cold

fullsizerender-2

It’s still not warm here in the UK….and I am not built for this weather, I need warmth and lots of it! Lucky I am going away to Italy with my boyfriend and his family in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to feel a little warmth on my skin, instead of pretty much icicles hanging off my nose (I get a really cold nose in the winter, kind of dog like). In the meantime I’m going to wear this love dress from Daisy Street with bare legs, and freeze my ass off!

fullsizerender-1

In all seriousness I love star prints at the minute on literally anything, especially dresses. This beaut was a mere steal at £25 from the brand Daisy Street, which I bought from ASOS. This is actually from the tall range however I am only 5 foot 6 inches and I think it is the perfect length on me. I also love anything with ruffles (a huge trend for spring/summer) so you are going to see way more of that on my blog.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Lastly my giant Topshop platform boots, I’m not going to make out that I wear them on a daily basis, I really don’t, because they are really tall and really high! But they make your legs look great, so well worth feeling like you are walking on stilts…lol. Let’s also not forget Ralph, he’s here for the picture too of course, because he’s possibly the coolest dog on the planet.

My Love For Pink Adidas and a Kick Flare

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I saw this pink Adidas t-shirt on another blogger and literally fell in love, ASOS seem to have sold out of the girls version, but I bought this from the men’s section and got a XS, which fits exactly as I wanted it to. I am seriously going to wear this with pretty much everything I own, I’m really excited to wear it with a new ruffled/tiered midi skirt I got from ASOS recently, I think the contrast between the more casual tee and dressy skirt will be perfect.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So jeans and I have a weird relationship…I find they can often fit so weirdly on me, due to my big bum and calves. I need stretch but hate that jegging kind of material and stretch which really stops a jean from being a jean! This means that I have a huge love for vintage mom jeans, they have extra space for my bum and the waist is often quite small, so I don’t get that gaping on the waistband. These beauts are the first pair of jeans I have bought in ages that fit perfectly, they are from Missguided and classed as a kick flare. I love a cropped jean with an ankle boot so they work perfectly for me. They stretch enough to fit over my bum (thanks genetics) but not enough to look cheap.

I bought this puffer a couple of weeks ago from Topshop as a grudge buy, I only want to buy clothes for spring right now, which is crazy as it is freezing in the UK! I have literally worn it every day since I bought it! It’s really thick and heavy so it really keeps out the cold, and even better it was on offer and only £45,so what’s not to love! My boots I bought from Topshop a while back so are unfortunately not available, but I will link a similar version below.

Beautiful Doorways and Palace

Kensington London, probably can’t get a more monochrome beautiful place for blog/Instagram shots, always certain to make your outfit pop.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Little bit of street wear today, Palace skateboards (along with Supreme…of course) are one of my favourite street wear brands, not as hard to get hold of as Supreme (unless you want a tri ferg logo tee/hoody, you gotta be quick, and lucky!) I actually got this top in a men’s large and I love how over-sized it is, wouldn’t have been the same if I got a medium so I’m happy about that. If I can get hold of it Palace tees and hoodies are 100% on my wishlist, maybe even a tri ferg one day 🙂

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

These Urban Outfitters grey trousers are such a useful staple, along with the Zara black leather biker jacket. About leather jackets, I am the world’s pickiest person when its comes to this type of jacket, they are always too long, too cropped, weird quilting on the arms, but this is perfect. The length is just right, not too cropped, not too long and the details (zips on the sleeves/pockets) make it look a lot more expensive than it actually was. Also I got a medium, I’m an 8/10 and I needed it to be slightly bigger, to be able to get it on top of a knit or hoodie.

Of course it’s my Dr Martens again….you gotta get yo-self some, classic chunky brogues that will literally ever break or wear, they are practically indestructible!
