OOTD: Lilypads & Pink Ginham

White Shirt~Photostorms Giveaway

Pinafore~Etsy

Shoes~Primark

Hello you lovely lot! Around this time of year I love nothing more than a good old walk. Crunchy autumnal leaves and cooler afternoons make me very content on a day off. I wore this little gingham number I picked up from etsy, it is so perfect for popping over any old shirt and fits right in with my love of this print. My trusty pineapple bag also made an appearance on my stroll!

As you can probably tell, my lack of blogging has been truly terrible and I was extra lucky that my sister took several outfit snaps over the weekend so I can blog after my shifts. So I am no longer going to neglect my little blog and hope to have it filled with bits and bobs again by Halloween.

Hope you all are ok and enjoying the dryer days of this month.

Tuesday's Style Icon #3: Alexa Chung

Three ways to describe her style: Tailored, Sleek,Neutral

I guess an obvious choice to most but Alexa Chung really is one of the most stylish women out there. With a palette that consists mainly of blue, black and white, she manages to create such an appealing and adaptable wearability to clothes. What I would do to have a sneak peek in her wardrobe!

Top 5: Underwear

Black velvet cut out body~Topshop~£35

Light green soft bra~H&M~£7.99

Retro style paneled briefs~Asos Marketplace~£23

Navy sheer floral briefs~New Look~£2.99

Handmade floral bra~Malomyszka (Etsy)~£16

I chose these top five underwear based on a few things. Aesthetics, comfort and cost. I also checked the availability of the items and if they ship to the UK etc. I love underwear that's floral, hence that 3/5 of the pieces are smothered in flowers. Black underwear is a must have for anyone and I love Topshop's take on the body suit/leotard, velvet and backless are two words that will always make my heart melt. Etsy is always really great for getting handcrafted, unique items, I spent hours searching for the perfect bra and the halter neck one (shown above) I fell in love with. All of the underwear featured are made with comfortable and smooth fabrics that won't cause you to itch or readjust yourself every few minutes. 

Always buy underwear for yourself, if you think something will make you feel good....buy it!

Kate Broughton nails

One of the things I really love about my job is finding small, independent boutiques that have real gems of handcrafted bits. I stumbled across Kate Broughton on etsy and fell in love with her beautiful, modest and recycle friendly nail transfers.

I even manged to do an interview with her for the magazine, which you can read here. She seemed like a really lovely and creative woman.

All of these amazing nail art transfers are only £2.95! I am about to order the lot of them.

For more designs and to browse some of her lovely items you can visit her website here.
