Funny Looking Angels

Jacket - vintage 

Dress- Topshop

Converse - Office

Lipstick - Revlon Black Cherry 

You may or may not remember me...it's been a while...

This is not only my first post of 2015 but also my first post for the last 6 months or so, whoop! If you're interested to know what I've been up to, check out my Youtube channel for a little update video which will be coming shortly!

But you've not come to hear about life and general mundane waffle...let's cut to the chase and get down to the clothes...

Now stop me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure I do say this about 99% of the outfits I blog, but I really mean it this time...this outfit is my ABSOLUTE DREAM. It's grungy, girlie, practical and a little bit sassy all at once! 

The dress was a bargain in the Topshop sale a couple of years ago. It's an absolute fairytale of lace and chiffon with a high neck, but for someone with a reasonable bosom and gut, it's definitely got the potential to turn you from floaty fairy to bundled up pudding...! 

To err on the side of caution and avoid any pudding-style scenarios I paired it with this oversized denim jacket, converse and gothic lip. The whole look just seems to pull together into a satisfying eclectic mash that would be perfect for pretty much any occasion from work to play!

p.s. I've missed y'all, hope you had the most amazing Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2015 is going to be good, promise! xx

Company Style Blogger Awards 2014

On Wednesday I had the privilege of attending the Company #StyleBlogger Awards at the Oval Space in East London! 

It was an amazing evening spent in the company of all those incredible bloggers I've been following for years, #fangirling all over the place! 

MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my blog - I was shortlisted for an award and although I didn't win even being nominated was such an achievement for my teeny little blog and I honestly couldn't have got this far without the support from my readers & viewers. It honestly still baffles me that people are actually interested in what I have to say so thank you so so much for your support - means the world to me! *sob*

As unorganised as I am I totally forgot to charge my slr and hardly took any pictures, but did manage to bring along my point & shoot to capture some "vlog" footage - cue much shaky camera work and blurry film - so if you're interested to see what we got up to, do check out the below vid! 

Over the next month or so I'm having a complete life overhaul and so many things are changing. I will be doing a video on it asap so please keep an eye out on my YouTube Channel for that but for a heads up I will be absent from my blog for a month or so until everything settles down again..but I'll still be on my Instagram(abritishbunny) so check that out if you fancy keeping up with me!

The Archtops

 

 

Dress - H&M

Boots - New Look (sale)

Socks - Primark 

Nails - Rita Ora for Rimmel "Oragasam"

Last weekend Dan and I took a little trip to Southend to watch our friends band "The Archtops" play. The weather was glorious and balmy when we left so tights and a coat weren't even considered...but at the seaside it was frigging ARCTIC and super windy so in hindsight it might have been a wise idea to wrap up!

If I'm honest, H&M may have been partly to blame for my lack of common sense and warm clothing. I picked up this little jem of a dress for £14.99 the other day and with it's chunky stripe print, shift shape and high neck it was too beaut to hide...

The gig was amaaaaaazing and we had the best night ever. There are no words for how musically talented those boys are, they had everyone up dancing and singing along in no time! They're playing a couple of wicked dates over the Summer so if you're at all interested, do check them out HERE.

Growing Up Easy

Dress - Missguided (last year) 

Boots - New Look (sale) 

Hair - Babyliss Hair Extensions in "Light Blonde"

It's getting to that point in my life when I'm starting to realise that my friends are growing up. Over the last 12 months things have started to change. Nights out have been replaced with mid week bookclub, vodka and skittles swapped for wine and cheese, weddings are being planned, houses bought and the some are even having children!

Last Sunday was the day of my friend Rachel's baby shower. A day to officially confirm that she will soon become a mother and is therefore more grown up than the rest of us put together! It's absolutely terrifying and totally amazing in equal measure.

In my mind baby showers are a bit of a nondescript when it comes to dress code and quite tricky to dress for, but in the end I opted for this old Missguided skater dress. It was on my lust list for Summer 2013 but by the time I finally got my hands on it, the weather had turned and the poor thing's been sitting in my cupboard waiting for it's moment ever since!

My ratty old hair extensions made a reappearance *mental note - must buy a new set soon* and I topped the the whole look off with my New Look stomper boots to stop it becoming EVEN MORE frothy and girlie.

The whole day was lovely. We ate baby food, chose baby names, unwrapped presents and serenaded the momma to be with tunes from Frozen before heading home clutching our party bags!


I can't wait to meet the little one (not long now!) and with aunties like these it's going to be the best dressed bub around!

Hey Sunday Girl

This is the outfit I wore for pub crawling round Islington on the bank holiday weekend. The weather was amazing so we didn't take coats and by the time it started to cool down we had our beer jackets on anyway!

T Shirt - Primark (sale)

Cardigan - Primark

Jeans - Primark (DIY rips)

Boots - Primark (old)

I don't know whether I love or hate that this outfit is head to to Primark...#firstworldproblems

If I ever had a staple outfit this is pretty much it. If you've watched my FASHION TAG video I mentioned that stripey t shirts and ankle boots are my weakness; I have far too many of both but I practically live in them so I guess that makes it ok?

Last month I discovered Primark "Ultra Soft Super Skinny" jeans and have had them encasing my legs ever since. I took a pair of scissors to these bad boys and completely ripped the knees out of them in a fit of DIY! They cost £11 but the fit and feel of them is amazing. They really are "super skinny" without any hint of camel toe which is a rarity nowadays!

This weekend I'm popping down to Bristol to celebrate my little sister's 22nd birthday and make the most of the rumoured heatwave...fingers crossed! Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Fangirl

 Dress - Fashion Union

Boots - Matalan (old)

Coat - Vintage

Lipstick - Sleek "Smother"

If you follow my Instagram (ABritishBunny) you may already know that the other weekend we all headed off to Oxford to watch Dan fight for the title...aaaaaaaaaaand...he won with a KO in the first round and now he has the GoT style title of "WELTER WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE SOUTHERN REGION" and this big ole belt for keeps!
(Here's the video if you're interested)

It's always tricky to know what to wear to these things. Although it's classed as a fight "night" we normally arrive around 2/3 ish and don't leave til gone 9. The dresscode varies from tracksuits to ballgowns (no joke) so I tend to plonk for my usual smart/casual dress and boots combination.

I got this T Shirt dress from Fashion Union (super cheap but really slow delivery time) a while ago. As the material is super clingy and highlights any lumps and bumps it's been sitting on my clothes rail waiting for me to lose a bit of weight for a while, so literally jumped at me for the chance to accompany Spanx to fight night! 

I love this kind of oversized shift dress with ankle boots and the mesh panelling on the sleeves makes it a more edgy, evening piece. Obviously my favourite Matalan boots were called for duty and threw on my "vintage" pink coat for a bit of warmth!

It was a brilliant evening and I'm so proud of the victories achieved by Dan and his team.

But the real question is...who can pull off the Champion look better?

Ghost Stories

Cardigan - Primark 

Dress - Primark 

Bowler Hat - Primark 

Knee Socks - Primark 

Boots - Matalan

The other weekend Dan and I headed up to London for a little date night. We went for a drink then headed over to the Arts Theatre to watch "Ghost Stories" (website link HERE). If you haven't heard of it it's pretty much a horror film on stage...I don't want to give anything away but it's completely different to anything I've ever seen and both Dan and I loved it! Tickets aren't too expensive at all and we'd both highly recommend it if you're stuck for date night plans!

My outfit is pretty much head to toe Primark but that's nothing new! It's a  simple outfit based around my new denim skater dress and cardigan, but I think swapping tights for knee highs and topping it off with my bowler hat make it just that little bit more interesting.

What do you think?

Tied Up Tight

Coat - Charity Shop

Cardigan - Primark 

T Shirt - Primark 

Trousers - COS 

Boots - Primark 

Bag - Mulberry (gift)

This is what I wore yesterday for a leisurely pub lunch in the sunshine. With the weather being so sunny but cold I really couldn't work out what to wear so decided to layer up with my favourite coat and snazzy new cardigan. 

This cardigan is a dream. I picked it up on a casual trip to Primark for a fiver...five little pounds...yes please!! It's a burgundy aztec print with fluffy texture, perfect for layering up in these colder months. I wore it round my waist Will.i.am. style for most of the day until the chills really did settle in. Be prepared to see a whole lot more of this bad boy as it's shot straight into my staples!

Paired with my breton stripe tee, waxed trousers and Primark chelsea boots this was the perfect outfit for bumming around in the sunshine. I actually filmed myself getting ready and will be posting it on my Youtube channel at some point this week so watch out for that!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Country Girl Take My Hand

Dress - Zara (sale)

Boots - New Look (sale) HERE

Necklace - Bohemian Collective HERE (DIYed to be a necklace)

The weather was so amazing the other weekend when I was at my parents house that Hector and I couldn't resist heading out to the fields to take some outfit photos of my favourite new pieces. 

This dress was something I'd had my eye on for a while when I saw it on the Zara website a couple of months ago. Although it's not at all my usual style it really caught my eye. The price tag was pretty hefty so I put it to the back of my mind...until...I saw it crop up on Instagram for the sale price of £12.99... Cue frantic phone calls to friends who could pop to Zara as it had totally sold out online!! My amazing friend Lydia came up with the goods and managed to find me a size M (I'd say a 10-12) whch is a perfect fit! It's just as beautiful in the flesh as it was online and I'm so happy that I managed to get my paws on it. 

My boots are another sale bargain from New Look and I'll be putting up a haul video very soon which features these bits and other beauties so take a leaf out of our book and keep an eye out for that...!

I hope you're all having a beautiful weekend!
