Refreshed & Relaxed

Shorts Primark (DIY by moi), Top H&M, Shoes Urban Outfitters, Hat New Look

I finally got a chance to rock my customised Primark bargain shorts sorry that there has been so much flesh on show in my last few posts but it has been seriously hot and even this vest was too heavy I ended up swapping it for a crop top. I tend to wear hats or sun visors quite a bit I am totally paranoid about the sun on my face I have had two chemical peels for acne scarring (damn teenage skin) so it is ultra sensitive to the suns rays. I am back to work tomorrow and it is the start of the summer sale season so I feel all relaxed and ready to go back and face the madness. The weather has totally made my week feel like a proper holiday just gutted I did not make it down to the coast. I am not having a holiday abroad this year I am saving up for a really special one next year which I am totes excited about.

Car Booting

I was up at 5am yesterday morning to do a car boot sale. I do one a year they are good fun apart from the stupidly early start. The set up is always a bit crazy as all the dealers and bargain hunters come up to you before you have even set up coz I have been doing them for ages now I know what to except the first one I did took me by surprise I had people opening the car doors getting into the boot and taking stuff out it really freaked me out. I pretty much sold most of my stuff in the first 20 mins and the rest of the morning was steady I took £150 and the most expensive thing I sold was £8.

Car boot sales are so worth doing and clothes sell really well it is defo worth doing one. Ebay is great for selling clothes but sometimes there are things that I know would never sell on there that is when the car boot sales work.

I had a quick look around the car boot sale before I left and picked up the butterfly cuff

Good Life

Monokini Ebay, Levis Cut offs DIY by Moi, Boots Next, Ring by Moi, Bag ASOS

Finally got the chance to wear my crochet monokini (love that word). I have to admit I did not leave the garden but I would so wear this down the coast still cant believe I haven't taken a trip down there my week has been filled up with so many things I haven't had time. I also think you need to get a tan before you wear this in the sun imagine the tan lines lol. I have been enjoying a few cheeky days in the garden with the odd bar b que and good company and this little number was perfect.

I am doing a car boot sale tomorrow I have loads of clothes to sell so hopefully make myself some dollar and then maybe a shopping trip on Monday before I head back to the 9 to 5.

Also guys I am not sure if you have tried it or not but seeing as how skint I have been this month I had to skimp a little on the old fake tan anyways I grab myself a bottle of that fake St Tropez St Moriz I found it from this ebay seller here it is totes amazing so I just thought I would let y'all know it is really easy to apply and no streaks yay.

High Tops

Main Pic Ebay, Bottom Corner River Island, Grey Office, Tan ASOS, Siver Topshop, Pink Boo Hoo

I ordered a pair of Isabel Marant high top look a likes from ebay here I got the black ones and now I am totally wanting the red ones they are such a freaking bargain for £27.99 if this ebay seller has sold out just put "High Top Sneakers" into the search box there are loads on there. I never thought in a million years that I would be lusting after trainers but the hidden wedge makes them that much more irresistible who would not benefit from those extra two inches.

Anyways I have picked some of the best from online. Are you going to be rocking a pair??????

One Big DIY

Levis Cut Offs by Moi, Shitty old vest cropped by moi, Gladiators ebay (old), Head Chain by Moi

You might remember these cut offs from this post here I said I was going to stud them the studs finally arrived from Thailand the other day (good old ebay) and this is the finished result. The studs took no time at all to do esp as the denim has been slightly damaged by the bleach and is not half as tough as it should be.

I have so many pairs of these knee high (well not on me) gladiator sandals I went mad for them a few years ago and brought every pair I came across they are having a revival for me at the moment and I cant stop wearing them. Just realised that this outfit is pretty much one big DIY.

Apologise for the crappy top but it is so freaky hot that is not a moan btw I am loving it so this top was pretty much the only thing I had that was cool. 

Amazon

Dress c/o Jolie Moi, Gladiators Jeffrey Campbell (old), Earrings Miss Selfridge

Finally we have sunshine here in the UK and I am off for the week so I am super stoked. To celebrate the occasion I put on this mustard dress that the lovely guys over at Jolie Moi sent me to style up the sunny day gave me much inspo so I added loads of feathers and went for a real boho vibe. The dress is perfect and I am pleased that the the skirt part of the dress is lined which meant I did not have to add an extra layers or put cycling shorts under it.

I scored these earrings the other day from Miss Selfridge for a bargain £2.00 you should pop in there they are selling their jewellery off for stupid prices. I feel like a wild amazon women in this dress esp with the gladiators. Hope you guys are all enjoying the glorious weather xoxo

Pink Heavens

Kimono F21, Top Topshop, Jeans H&M (diy by moi), Shoes Next, Flower Crown by me :)

I brought these shoes and kimono ages ago and I finally got a chance to wear them. I love the shoes check them out here I had been wanting the strappy Zara shoes for ages then I noticed everyone was wearing them so when I saw these on the Next website I knew they would be a great alternative and bonus they are aztec print you know me I am a sucker for a bit of aztec. They are also super comfy and super high. I ordered the kimono online from F21 and like H&M I had heard mixed reviews about ordering from them but I had no problems I was going to link to the kimono but it has sold out.

The weather is still not playing ball I am hoping that June will be better starting to worry that at this rate I am going to end up with a Vit D deficiency.

Teeny Tiny Rings

Credits ASOS, Google Images

For ages I have been rocking big rings the bigger the better . I am noticing a little trend for smaller rings stacked. I brought this cute turquoise one the other day from Whistles here it is also on ASOS here so now I am on the hunt for more teeny tiny rings I love how delicate they look. 

Live Love Grow

Dress Boohoo, Shoes Stefanel, Feather Earring Little Wing

It is not very often that I wear a dress not sure why as a few years back I used to live in them. I got this dress at Christmas time with the idea that it would make a great summer dress. From the front it looks like it is cut too high but when you see the detail on the back you can understand why it was the back that sold it to me in the first place. It is still online here chickens if you are interested and it is in the sale bonus

I cant stop wearing these head chains (and bindis) and seeing as I am trying to grow my fringe out they help to keep it out of my eyes and my fringe does not end up looking top heavy. Hopefully I will achieve it this time as I normally give in when it gets to my nose as it becomes so messy and freaking irritating. If you like these head chains and cant be bothered to make one ASOS has this one here.

Flowers in your hair

My flower crown I made this a few weeks back but with the grey skies and rain I have not had a chance to wear it. I cant believe how cheap and easy it was to make I am going to make some more in different colours so I will show you guys it is sooooo simple. 

Black on Black on Black

Top c/o AX Paris, Pants ebay, Boots Next, Hat New Look

I am loving dipped hems at the moment I know they have been around for like forever now but they are so easy to style up I was originally going to throw this on with a pair of cut offs but like I said I am trying to be more creative and not team everything with them so these lace flared pants seemed like the perfect match. I love the sheer fabric too it is perfect for layering and I think it will also look awesome thrown over swimwear the perfect beach cover up how many times have I now used the word "perfect".

Purple Rain

I am soooo poor this month I had to pay out for an unexpected dental bill I bite into a mars bar and pulled my freaking filling out and I had to pay out for my car so there is no shopping money this month booo so I have decided to make do and mend by updating pieces in my wardrobe I grabbed myself a packet of Dylon hand dye the colour I used on these cut offs was intense violet and dipped diyed them I have also ordered a packet of dome studs to add to them.

Pink Lady

Jeans Motel, Jumper H&M Jacket H&M, Boots Topshop

The H&M Fashion Againist Aids jacket that I showed you in this post here is reversible. I feel a bit like a Pink Lady in it. I really love the print on the back and I am also loving that for £24.99 I get two jackets. Still having to dress like it is October rather than May I am itching to team this jacket with a pair of cut offs come on weather gods sort it out.

Made 4 each other

errrr hello it is raining again and I am left taking pictures indoors I have been wearing head chains or whatever you want to call them pretty much everyday this is another one I made using heavier chain. I am also more than a little addicted to bindis and they team perfectly with head chains I just wish the sun would shine I am getting more than a little fed up with waking up to grey skies and drizzly rain.

You look like a Smurf lol!!!

Jacket H&M, Disco Pants AA, Top H&M, Boots ASOS, Beanie Farhi

Did any of you guys get anything from H&M's Fashion Against Aids collection I scored the bomber jacket which I am totally stoked about out of everything it was the one piece that caught my eye I could not believe my luck when I saw it available online it is also reversible which is a bonus. Also quite impressed with H&M delivery I have heard mixed views about them but this took a week to come with the saver delivery. I think I look like a Smurf in this beanie today that is why I decided on that title xoxo
