The Archtops

Dress - H&M
Boots - New Look (sale)
Socks - Primark 

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.

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!

What's New Pussycat?




ASOS Sunglasses - HERE

I find it impossible to find sunglasses that suit my face shape and when these little beauties caught my eye on the ASOS website I thought it was worth a try (free return delivery and all that!) I prefer tortoise shell over black glasses for Summer and the cat eye detail makes them feel a little vintage - for £12 you can't ask more than that!

They arrived a week or so ago and haven't left my face since. Even though they're now a little wonky from being sat on...I couldn't care less...this is true love!

Catching The Sparks That Flew From Her Heels





Cropped top - Primark 
Midi Skirt - Primark 
Shoes - FCUK Juines via Ebay
Clutch - Matalan (old)
Lipstick - Topshop "Depth"

A couple of months ago I picked up this amazing rose gold midi skirt from Primark. It doesn't fit well at all but the sheer beauty of it and the teeny price tag (£12) had me sold!

I've paired it with my fluffy cropped jumper and favourite heels of the moment to make the perfect outfit for a night of drinks or dancing! This is actually pretty much what I wore for Christmas Day all those months ago and luckily the pale, girlie colours really suit for Spring!

All the pretty pink sequins and fluffy textures were too much so I had to top the look off with a super dark gothic lip. I've shown this lipstick on my Youtube Channel before and its had really mixed reactions but I absolutely love it! 

Hope you're all having a lovely week and enjoying this amazing weather! Apparently it's due to turn nassssssty for the Easter weekend...good ole England eh?

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?

In Love With Ginger





Fedora - Miss Selfridge
Dress - gift (originally Urban Outfitters I think...maybe...)
Boots - New Look sale HERE

This is my absolute favourite kind of outfit.
You can never go wrong with a minidress and chunky boots - FACT.

Dress it up/dress it down/hot weather/cold weather, it's the most adaptable look ever and practically my unofficial uniform!

This dress is both sweet and sexy at the same time with the combination of the zip detail and flippy girlie skirt so to toughen it up I put it with my chunky worker boots from New Look. I'm still completely in love with them and noticed they're now only £14 on the NL website goddamit!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend

Sunshine On My Window Makes Me Happy




Cropped Jumper - Primark
Anklet (worn as necklace) - The Bohemian Collective HERE
Dress- Primark
Converse - Office HERE

The weather in England has been absolutely amazing for the last week or so. Blue skies and sunshine pretty much every day! Annoyingly all my summer clothes are bagged up and hidden away for "summer" so I've been having to put together warm weather outfits out of my Autmn/Winter wardrobe.

This skater dress from Primark has already featured on my blog HERE and I was obsessed with this cropped jumper over the Christmas period (see HERE ) so I thought why not combine the two! I think the flouncy skater skirt of the dress mixed with the cream jumper really lends itself to spring/summer and of course a floral/cream colour palette is just perfect for this kind of weather. This kind of outfit could really easily be adapted for cold weather with ankle boots and black tights but I decided to tone down it's femininity with dirty ole converse!

Typically, having boasted about how amazing the weather is, whilst sitting here typing this up all I can see outside is grey sky and people putting up their umbrellas...

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!

Urban Mermaid

Skeleton T Shirt - Primark similar HERE 
Checked Shirt - Primark (mens)
Sequin Skirt - Motel Rocks (last year) 
Boots - Matalan 

Sequins, skeletons and lumberjack plaid...doesn't sound like a winning combination but I kind of love it!

This really was a last minute "thrown together" outfit for a night out in Brixton. I wore it when we headed to Hootenanny's for a night of dancing to celebrate one of my best friends birthdays the other weekend. It was an amazing night and this outfit was the most perfect combination of party/gig wear!

What do you think of this mashed up outfit?
