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.

Bare Faced Cheek

This is what I wore for a day out in London last weekend.

"Oh Lawd, another Missguided T shirt dress" I hear you cry! Well I'm sorry, you'd better get used to it as I am o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d with these bad boys!

Some might say these dresses are a little shapeless but I DIY'd a cinched waist with an old Primark shirt and topped off the whole look my aztec backpack and cut out boots.

T shirt dress - Missguided HERE

Shirt - Primark Mens

Boots - Matalan

Backpack - Primark

This was the most perfect outfit for a day out in this changeable weather as you can layer up or down in the blink of an eye. I honestly think these dresses are such good staple pieces that can be styled for so many different occasions - to prove my point and justify my love for them I'm planning on putting toghether a "5 ways I style these" post...watch this space!

What do you think of this look?

Bloggers Lookbook July 2013

It's a bit late but finally here's my 3 favourite blogger looks from the last month, enjoy!

Bell's Fashion - Holiday Outfits: Day Seven

Photo belongs to Helena from www.bellsfashion.blogspot.co.uk

This two piece is undeniably beautiful but I was gobsmacked by the way Helena's styled it with chunky sandals and a lacey kimono - it shouldn't work but it really does! This gal makes mixing up high street, vintage and handmade pieces look easy peasy...but don't be fooled...it's a fine art and she's a pro. 

Fashion Influx - Tartan Dungarees & Sheer Sleeved Shirt

Photo belongs to Lydia from www.fashioninflux.blogspot.co.uk

There's nothing about Lydia that doesn't turn me green with envy - she's a classic beauty and has a wardrobe to die for! Her outfits tend to be pretty edgy but this simple look really caught my eye.Who else could pull off this quirky schoolgirl with such ease? Top of the class!

What Is In Her Wardrobe - Rottweiler

Photo belongs to Gemma from www.whatisinherwardrobe.blogspot.co.uk

Gemma's blog is a recent discovery for me and I'm an instant convert! Her vibe changes from post to post, from boho to high fashion, but she makes every look her own and stamps them with her own individual style. Colour blocking, gold detailing and that woofy tee make this an outfit to remember!

Video: Get Ready With Me for Field Day Festival May 2013

check it outttttt HERE

The Bank Holiday weekend was craaaaaazy good!

I went to Field Day Festival in Hackney on Saturday for a friends birthday. The weather was set to be wet and cold but we actually had beautiful sunshine alllll daaaaaaay. Honestly, there is nothing better than sitting outside drinking in the sunshine with your friends...bliss

So I got up at 7 am to make a "get ready with me" video before I left! Hell yes, that's dedication right there. I love these kinds of vids so thought I'd have a go at making my own. It's not the most interesting but if you fancy checking out how I did my make up/hair for the day check it out HERE

Princess Peach

Who amongst us didn't want to be a princess when they were little? 

For most of us that was never going to happen and 10 years on we're just happy in our own little lives...but hold your horses...don't give up on the dream just yet...

Crowns are making a comeback!

I need one of these on my head pronto! 

Can definitely picture myself strolling around town wearing one of these with a plain t shirt dress and chunky boots. Of course you'd get a couple of odd looks, but know that deep inside all the too-cool-for-school teenage girls would be green with envy.

All photos belong to www.regalrose.co.uk

Regal Rose is the place to head to if you want to pick up one of these little beauties! They are selling "Arwen" ombre lace crowns in turquoise, purple and pink for £24 - a bargain of a price for something which could lead you to bag your Prince Charming!

Check out their full range of princess goodness HERE. 

Does anyone else fancy joining the Crown Cult with me?

Coachella: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

In my previous post about Coachella I challenged Vanessa Hudgens to prove me wrong and produce a festival outfit that was actually worthy of her icon status. 

Looks like the challenge was accepted...

This girl is too good. It's as though the over contrived and almost try-hard outfits of the first festival weekend never happened. She's back in the game and going for gold!

Since seeing pictures of this incredible outfit, I've eaten my words and resumed my position as a follower of the Church of Hudgens. Long may it continue.

Coachella 2013: Cool Cats

Bad news. I have the lurgi. 

As it was the first weekend of Coachella last weekend I was planning on doing a "WIWW" (what I would wear) kind of post this weekend but since Tuesday I've been in bed sans make up and a bra, looking and feeling like roadkill. Nice eh?

Hopefully I'll be able to do this post at some point next week but for the moment I thought I'd share some of my stand-out favourites from the weekend.

Kate Bosworth

 The fashion world grovels at the feet of Miss Bosworth and it's not hard to see why. She manages to rock fur, embellishments, maxi, sheer, monochrome and buckles all in one effortless outfit...there are no words. This woman is a goddess. I don't think I am the only one who would shudder at the thought of trying this many trends out on ourselves at home (images of myself looking the lovechild of Ke$ha and Bellatrix Lestrange are floating through my head), it's a terrifying thought for us mere mortals. Kate, we salute you!

 

 It's recently been announced that KB is creating a "festival" range for Topshop later in the year. Expect plenty of crochet, fringing and embellishment from the queen of cool herself and at purse friendly prices - HALLELUJAAAAAH! 

Alessandra Ambrosio 

Oh ho boho! This Victoria's Angel has just shot straight onto my fashion radar with crochet, fringing, studs and suede pulled together with endless pins and tousled hair. Festival perfection!

 

Audrina Partridge

Floppy hat - check. Light dress - check. Statement jewellery - check. Bovver boots - check. Tattooed boyfriend - check check check! 

She's got it all, a simple but seriously stylish Coachella outfit that we could all take inspiration from for the summer. 

 

Ashley Benson

Love the casual all black look with statement logos and rock inspired rip details; this is the kind of outfit which totally stands out at a festival amidst the oodles of indie, boho and hippie chicks and could be worked as an everyday look. Rock onnnnnn Ashley!

 

ALL PICTURES ARE FROM THE MAIL ONLINE

Controversially Vanessa Hudgens doesn't appear on this list - don't get me wrong, I worship the ground she walks on but I have to say I thought her looks for Coachella were overdone and predictable...don't hate me! Prove me wrong VH, the challenge is on!

What do you think about the favourites I've selected?
