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!

 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?

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...

Coco Made Me Do It

Something came over me the other day and I found myself trawling Ebay for a snapback I could call my own! They're not my usual style at all but when I saw this little beauty I just couldn't resist.

Cap - Ebay similar HERE

Top - H&M

Shorts - DIY

Shoes - Primark

Snapbacks are so far out of my comfort zone it took me a while to press "buy now" and actually add one to my wardrobe. I wanted one that wasn' too edgy hipster or sk8ter boi and this one had me at first glance. Whoever Coco is, she's a legend and I'm tempted to invest in one of these matching tees too...maybe wear them at the same time...maybe not...

I took my new baby out for a spin at a BBQ and it went down a storm with my buddies. I'd like to try pairing it with little dresses and chunky boots but it's going to take a while to pluck up the courage!

Hope you all had a good weekend! I'd love to know how you would style this cap, tell meeeee!

Wear Flowers In Your Hair - OOTN

They say "less is more" but I don't consider that to always be the case. Sometimes more is more. Sometimes you need a little over indulgence in life, whether it's food, fashion or SATC reruns and that's a ok!

Today was one of those days and I wanted to wear denim, pleather, flowers and studs all at once! It's not to everyone's taste but so what?! 

Headband - Primark 

Shirt - H&M

Shorts - H&M 

Boots - Ebay similar HERE and HERE

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

Image belongs to Kavita from She Wears Fashion - http://www.shewearsfashion.com

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!

Bloggers Lookbook: May 2013

The Little Magpie - Getting On ABit 

Photo belongs to Amy - http://amybell-thelittlemagpie.blogspot.co.uk

Amy's blog is one of my absolute favourite reads. The outfits she wears on a daily basis are always totally unique and eclectic pulled together with statement jewellery and amaaaaaazing hair but this post really stood out for me. 

A DIY safety pin dress that Liz Hurley would be jealous of, cut out boots and a fedora for an all-black beaut of a look in themselves but mixed with cowboy jewellery and a to-die-for kimono...top of the class Amy! 

Sara Luxe - Choies Choice

Photo belongs to Sara - http://www.saraluxe.com When I was younger I wanted to be a witch. Sadly this was not to be, but if it had been, this is exactly the kind of stylish all black outfit I would wear! 

Sara's looks are always effortlessly cool and she mixes slightly "out-there" pieces with high street staples in a way which turns me green with envy. This little dress with cobwebby type shoulder detail paired with chunky lace up boots and quirky glasses is still making me dribble a month later!

LLYMLRS - Celia Birtwell x Uniqlo 

Photo belongs to Lily - http://www.llymlrs.com

Anyone who follows Lily's blog will be aware of her undying love for monochrome outfits. I'm not a massive fan of the look on myself but Lily pulls it off with aplomb by choosing unusual pieces and accessories to add to otherwise simple outfits. 

This look is my all time favourite posts of hers. Those incredible trousers are paired with a plain cold shoulder t shirt to keep all the focus on their print and vibrant colour - love love loveeeeee Lily! 

What do you think of the bloggers looks I've chosen?

OOTD: Camel Racing

The title of this post is no joke. 

On Monday we travelled to a field in the middle of nowhere to go to a country fair type event with ferris wheel, candyfloss, dog shows and...yes...camel racing! 

I have honestly never seen anything like it! Camels are bloody enormous, definitely a lot bigger than I thought they were and they tower over a 6ft human. The jockeys were more used to riding ponies in gymkhanas than these mighty "ships of the desert" and looked absolutely terrified. As soon as they were mounted the camels were raring to go and then they were off!!

I do like camels. They have eyelashes to die for. But I don't want one as a pet. Thanks but no thanks.

Jacket - Primark (v old) with the sleeves hacked off

Dress - River Island £12 in the sale!

Hope you all had a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l bank holiday weekend!
