I don’t think you can ever have too many printed tops! I love this unusual leafy print on this one from Chicnova, which looks great as part of either a casual outfit (‘mom’ jeans and gladiator sandals) or something a little smarter like this! The colours are more vibrant than they appear in these pictures, a great piece!
This is such a safe outfit for a sunny day, but I love the simplicity of it! Denim shorts are a summer essential; the pair I’m wearing here are from Brag Vintage, who stock a huge range of vintage shorts in all sorts of colours, shapes and sizes – this pair are semi high-waisted Levis. The white shirt I’m wearing is another Zara style piece from SheInside – it goes with almost anything, I’d go as far as to say that it’s the perfect white blouse! Here I’m wearing my Valentino Rockstud dupes (see my post about them here), although I did change into my Clarks Originals Wallabees as they are far more comfortable for walking around in all day. I also used my amazing eBay bargain Givenchy style bag (see post here), and wore a cute hairband from Oasap.
Somehow we’ve ended up with an actual summer here in the UK, so it’s the perfect opportunity for me to get as much use as possible out of the summery pieces in my wardrobe. This playsuit from Missguided is super pretty, but also really comfortable as it is loose fitting and so great for hot weather. I love the coral colour, which would look great on someone with a tan, but I couldn’t resist it anyway and it matches my Illamasqua ‘Scandal’ lipstick perfectly. I’ll definitely be getting more wears out of this playsuit over the heatwave and my holiday to California in a few weeks (eek!).
Another outfit from last week, featuring a new Choies blazer! As you may have gathered from some previous posts I’m a fan of orange at the moment, and this pale tangerine shade is perfect and summery. This particular colour is currently sold out, but you can keep your eye out for restocks or purchase it for a very reasonable £19.79 in one of the other five colours – I think white or pink would be my next choice! The blazer comes with shoulder pads, however I’ve removed mine for a more relaxed look. I wore it with a piece from the latest Rihanna x River Island collection – I’m not a Rihanna fan but I have been very much impressed by both of her River Island collaborations so far, save for a few more “interesting” pieces (those double jeans?!). I love this print and hope to acquire some more of it, but at £20 this dress (which is technically a top, but long enough to be a mini-dress for average height or petite ladies) was a no-brainer. I’m also wearing my favourite new MissGuided boots, Fashion Nonsense spiked necklace and a skull bangle from Chicnova. PS: how cute is the wallpaper in the hallway of my new flat?! Perhaps a post about it / mini tour is in order?
I’m back! After moving into my new flat I’ve had no internet, but I’m home for the weekend and I’ll have internet at the new place on Wednesday (after what seems like a lifetime). Hooray! I wore this outfit the other week – this is technically a nightdress which I picked up in the Topshop sale, but it’s super pretty and sufficiently modest so I didn’t want to ~save it for the bedroom, so to speak. I wore it with a Primark chiffon shirt and amazing new ‘Raven Block Heel Trainers’ from MissGuided – I’ve lived in these since I got them! They have a small heel but are really comfortable, and go with almost anything. The boots are very similar to Topshop’s popular Activist boots and look expensive with their faux suede upper, but are much cheaper than the Activists at £32.99.
