London Fashion Week #2 WIWHW

Coat - Ebay similar HERE

Top - Matalan sale (v old)

Kilt - Charity Shop

Bag - Gift

Shoes - Primark

This outfit is at the other end of the spectrum from my last LFW styled post, but why the hell not?!

 Now that Autumn has definitely settled it's time to dig the tartan out and this bargain kilt has been gagging for an outing since I bought it at the start of the year. It just happened to be hanging next to this sequin t shirt in my wardrobe and...tadaaaah! To beat the chill I gave in to fashionista peer pressure and decided to DRAPE my coat rather than wear it. It's pretty impractical but I do actually quite like the way it looks...The whole look is rounded up with black accessories and an easy peasy beehive!

So that's that! What do you think of my two imaginary LFW looks? 

I actually might make this WIWHW idea a regular feature! It gives me a chance to dress up and pretend I'm one of the cool kids every so often.

OOTN: Watch The Sun Come Up

We walked along the beach to get to the evening reception venue atop a cliff over looking the sea. It was going to be a long night full of food, dancing and celebrations so I needed an outfit that would last me until the sun came up!

Those of you who watch my you tube videos may recognise the shoes and dress from two different Primark hauls and the Primark obsessives amongst you may have an inkling...but I can confirm...this whole outfit is from Primark!

Dress - Primark £12

Clutch - Primark £2 

Cuff - Primark £3

Shoes - Primark £12

Check out my Youtube Primark hauls -  HERE and HERE

Partying with members of the Italian and Greek elite and fashionistas in head-to-toe Primark is a risky move as it may not be a "dirty little secret" but it's not really classed as a revered fashion house! But no one rumbled me and a couple of guests even commented on how much they liked my outfit...*smug smirk*...mwahahahaaaa if only you knew!

One of my favourite outfits EVERRRRRRRRRRRR I know this dress will be a staple for this summer! It's one of the most beautiful printed items I own and the shape is divine, Primarni I salute you!

  

Daddy S rocked a traditional dapper English gent look in a linen suit and blue shirt.

The party was incredible! Elegant, glamorous and stylish complete with personalised cocktails, suprise fireworks, an amazing soundtrack and mouth wateringly good food...nom nom lobster risotto...nommmmm. We had a whale of a time and didn't get home until breakfast time!

OOTN: Evening Sun

The other night I headed out to watch my friend's band play their first ever gig! They were incredible and it was a wicked night full of dancing and jagerbombbbbbbs!

I wanted a cool layered outfit with edgy accessories and came up with this gothic little number...

Dress - H&M 

Faux Leather Gilet - Primark DIY

Boots - Topshop "Attitude" boots via Ebay

Clutch - Matalan

I love this outfit! It's so versatile and easy to wear for all sorts of different occasions - you could swap the boots for flats and make it far more casual looking or lose the gilet and pile on a big wooly cardigan instead. 

H&M were doing these simple shift style dresses in a huge range of colours last year and I've got my fingers crossed they'll bring them back this year so I can stock up!

Clutch - HERE

For me, the main talking point (and probably least expensive bit of this outfit) is this beaut of a clutch from Matalan...for £14...holy moley. 

It's ikat/aztec printed, embroidered with tiny orange and gold beads and the perfect size to store all the essentials for a good night out. I dithered over buying it for a couple of weeks as I have so many clutch bags I never use, and then posted it on Instagram for an opinion. Everyone said "buy" and when I popped in to have a nose round, there was only one left in the store...hello fate, thanks for that!

What do you think of this outfit?

Bloggers Lookbook June 2013

So it's a little late but here are my 3 fave blogger looks from last month...

Fashion Fade - Hola Chicas

Image belongs to Penny from Fashion Fade -http://fashion-fade.blogspot.co.uk

Penny is one of the first fashion bloggers I ever discovered and I'm still hooked. She seems to live a ridiculously hectic life and doesn't post as much as we'd like her to...but every time a new post goes up I go absolutely BATSHIT CRAZY over her outfits! She throws together outfits that no one else would ever think of and they always look incredible. When I grow up I'd like to be her please!

She Wears Fashion - Wicked

I recently went back to the start of Kavita's blog and was amazed at the transformation she's undergone from cute kid to fashion vixen. Recently she's been wearing a lot of sports-luxe type outfits which aren't really my style but this amazing outfit ticks all my boxes - simple and sexy with an edge of grunge. I don't think anyone could pull of this look the same way she does. Unbearably beautiful with a fashion sense to die for - she is the high priestess of fashion - get on your knees people!

The Little Magpie - Ukelele

She's done it again! To be honest I don't think anyone is suprised... 

What do you think of the 3 favourite looks I've picked from last month?

OOTN: Can't Catch A Rainbow

Heading out for a slap up birthday supper for  my "mother-in-law" on Saturday night

Dress - Apricot (v old, inherited from a friend)

Belt - Primark

Clutch - Ralph Lauren 

Boots - Mr Shoes (out of stock on that site and cannot find them in stock on any other sites :( keep your eyes peeled!)

Love this dress! It hides all your lumps and bumps but allows you to show as much or as little shoulder as your want so you don't end up looking like a total pudding. Turns out it's pretty see through in direct sunlight but hey ho. You win some you lose some!

These Lita style boots are my shoe saviours! I bought 3 different pairs last years for c£35 from Truffle and they are worth every penny. Pretty much identical to the JC's they are seriously comfy and easy peasy to walk, run and even jump in all evening long. I also have the paisley and the matte black faux leather ones and wouldn't be without them! Can't find these aztec print babies anywhere online at the moment but always worth doing a scout round the web every couple of weeks if you really want a pair.

We had a lovely evening. Stuffed ourselves with deliiiiiiiiiish Greek food and had to be rolled home and into bed!

OOTN: Can't Touch This

Saturday night was the time to take my new Celine-style tee out for a spin! 

It's taken me a good month or so to get hold of one of these bad boys. They've been bombing round the blogisphere for a couple of months now and as a result have been sold out on Ebay but my bad luck stopped the other week and I'm now a proud owner of my very own version!

ALIEN IN A T SHIRT ALERT!

T Shirt - Ebay 

Trousers - H&M (sale)

Shoes - New Look (v old)

Collar - Morrocco

Spiked Necklace - ASOS (old)

Name Necklace - mynamenecklace.com

Hamsa Hand - Morrocco

Teardrop pendant - Xmas present

I teamed my tee with burgundy faux-leather trousers, courts and some serious neck armour. I've been seeing a lot of necklace stacking going on on Instagram and have been meaning to hunt down some cheap necklaces to connect together  when I have the time - it looks so freaking cool! Everyone loves a good arm party so why not let your neck have one too?

Just a quick heads up...whole body parties + vodka aren't such a good look...!

What do you think about of these t-shirts and stacked necklaces?

OOTN: Black As Night

Oh hey there Friday night outfit...

Crop top - Topshop

Jamie jeans - Topshop

Ankle boots - New Look (sale)

Lipstick - Pom Pom by Soap and Glory 

Necklace - Primark 

Oh ma Lawd I am sooooo in love with with this lipstick! Saw it recommended by Sammi from Beauty Crush  and had to check it out. The colour is a beautiful raspberry hue with a matte finish and it smells incredibleeeeeeee...nom nom nommmmm...

Primark have some absolutely amazing bits in store at the moment and I picked up this little rainbow number for £3 the other day! Just love the way it adds a pop of colour to this outfit and for such a diddy price it's a welcome addition to my wardrobe.

I wore this outfit for a girlie night out on Friday night and it's safe to say a good night was had by all...

Hope you're all well and had a wicked weekend

OOTN: Flourescent Adolescent

On Saturday night I went out to a charity event with my boyfriend's family. The dress code was smart casual but I'm not one to pass up an opportunity to dress up to the nines!

I toyed with the idea of buying something new but then stumbled across this H&M beauty I bought last year. It's an amazing structured ombre dress covered with geometric shapes and patterns - a total show stopper! The fitted cap sleeves, tight waist and lantern style skirt make me feel a little bit as if I'm wearing a kimono but I love how the shape of the dress makes my waist look teeny weeny.

Dress - H&M

Shoes - Matalan

Clutch - H&M

I actually took the hem on the dress up 5cm as it was an odd length just above the knee and although I was worried it would change the shape of the skirt, it seems to have held it's form really well. 

The back has an interesting cut out with a single strap down the centre - it's different and the cut out isn't too big that you can't wear a bra with it.

Teamed with beautiful an super-cheap gold pointed courts and my RL patent clutch (freebie of course) I felt like a little fluoro fairy. Even the inevitable "drunken-aunt-at-a-wedding" dance moves I pulled out later in the evening couldn't make this dress look ugly!

Gawd, don't you just love it when you rediscover hidden treasures in your wardrobe?! These are the items that will keep reappearing in Facebook photos from time to time over the years but will continue to look fresh and exciting!

I hope you all had a good weekend. Don't want to jinx it but I have this sneaky suspicion that Spring is finally on it's way...
