Autumn Is Coming

Beret~Vintage/ Blouse~Zara/ Skirt~H&M/ Necklace~C/O Good Looking Objects

Hello my sweets and a very warm welcome to September....well not so warm if you live in England, but more on that later.

September has always been the month I have enjoyed the most, May and March come pretty close, but this month always seems to top them all. I love the change in season, how the trees turn into wonderful autumnal shades, beautiful root vegetables come into season and there is still enough warmth in the air to hang your washing out. Unfortunately, so far this month the weather has been pretty awful here, very windy and rainy, but hey ho- you've just got to make the most of the sunny patches.

My eyes had been on this Zara blouse for a pretty long time, I kept seeing it crop up on Instagram and I even bypassed it in store a couple of times, uming and ahhing over it and deciding whether to wait until pay day or not. Luckily enough, by the time I got my mitts on it, it was already in the sale and I couldn't have been more chuffed.

I also got a very exciting new piece of jewelry to add to my collection this month, a very sweet gift from one of my new favourite brands Good Looking Objects. This little bronze hand has been the cherry on top of my outfits recently and I love how it goes with every single thing I pop on. Its witchy vibes are also a huge plus for me.

I am off to Bulgaria on Saturday, I am so so excited to go somewhere completely new and different. A week to relax in the sunshine like a reptile and climb some mountains. I am sure I will have a whole album of pictures to show you on my return.

Lots of love always

Crop tops and culottes

Top~Topshop/ Culottes Hnm/ Shoes~Primark

Hey again my dears,

I cannot believe it is the 1st of May today, this year is steaming along like a train. It's my birthday very soon and as usual I am feeling a little anxious about turning that one year older. 26 to be exact. Or late twenties, as they say. But I am just going to embrace it and try to tick off a little list of things I would like to do before then.

This delightful little crop top I purchased a few weeks back and I just can't get enough of it. I am really enjoying all of the gypsy and hippy style pieces I am seeing on the high-street these days and it is making me really try to branch out with my outfits.

I am trying to save up to buy an old gypsy wagon to do up and live- in during the summer months. It is a plan in its very very early stages, but I am slowly realising what I want to do with my life and saying to most things these days 'why not'?

I hope you have all enjoyed this extended weekend, despite the rain. But peonies are going to be in season soon and those always brighten up any day.

Lots of love always

Hello October: Green Velvet

Beret~Vintage/ Dress~Zara/Tights~Vintage/Earrings~H&M

Hello there and happy October!

Well Autumn is well and truly upon us, the leaves have turned to crimson and mustard

and I am pulling out all of my greens and purples.

Oh and the berets are back :)

As I have expressed before, I just love this season.

The crisp air and the feeling of change.

I went to this delightful village near my home at the weekend, brimming with thatched roofs

and complete with a horse and carriage.

It really does feel like something out of  a film.

I cannot seem to resist anything dark green and velvety these days.

After seeing this dress in Zara I had to immediately snatch it up.

Although it is a little more figure hugging than something I would usually wear,

I am really trying to embrace my body this year. 

And what better way to do so,

than in a dress you love!

What is your favourite thing about Autumn?

Lots of Love

Magical Sleeves & Blue Patchwork

Earrings~H&M/ Blouse~H&M/Dress~Primark/Shoes~Topshop

Hey again guys!

Happy Friday!

This week has gone super quick and I have been really enjoying settling back into Devon life.

There are just so many quirky buildings and flowers that are perfect to take snaps in front of.

Not to mention just how colourful everywhere is.

Simply lovely. 

After having a bit of a fear of taking the plunge to join the denim dress trend,

I finally jumped on the band wagon...

and boy am I glad I did.

My hips are a lot bigger than the rest of my frame, 

so finding the right denim number was tricky. 

But low and behold, Primark came through in true form and now me and this garment

are basically inseparable. 

Ohh and if I could just have a moment to mention the sleeves on this shirt, 

they really have a mind of their own.

 Great for swishing in or fanning yourself while flustered!

I've always been a bit of a sleeve girl-the bigger the better I say :)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend

&

Enjoy the last few sparing moments of warmth in the daytime

Lots of love

May White Blooms

Dress~Little White Lies/ Bag~Tiger/ Earrings~AdventureLand/ Shoes~Topshop

Hello lovelies!

A very summery May greeting to you all and I hope you have been enjoying the last couple of days of sunshine. I have a whole week off work, woohoo and have been spending it dressing up and eating lots of fruit salads.

This new white dress from Little White Lies is my favourite buy of the season so far. I love the off-shoulder puff sleeves and the discreet white polka dots on the organza fabric. 

I really want to go on a little holiday soon, just a little road trip to a city in  Europe. This weather has had me dreaming of far-away streets and floral wines and a sweet weekend getaway.

My love of novelty bags has reared its head once more, with this cute little strawberry tin from Tiger. It managed to keep all my necessities for the day and is as light as a feather to carry.

May is without a doubt one of my favourite months of the year and it always brings a lot of positive connotations with it (my birthday for one!) I definitely have good feelings about this summer to come and I hope to catch up with a lot more people and stay in contact :)

Lots of Love 

Xmas Party Outfit Blogger Challenge

There's nothing I love more than a festive related challenge and this one from Fashion Vouchers seemed like a really fun one to do. The challenge was to select a brand from the list on their website and create an amazing  Xmas party outfit for £100 or under! Any blogger can enter and the prize is a £100 voucher from your chosen merchant.

I chose New Look as I knew that they would have some nice bits and bobs that weren't expensive and the collection would co-ordinate well with each other.

Arrow earrings~£6.99 / Wedge boots~£14.99 /  Velvet skater dress~£11.99 

Metallic envelope clutch~£15.99 / Stocking tights~£4.99

False eyelashes~£4.99 / Glitter nail polish~ £2.99

Total~ £62.93!

I think the black & gold combo give it a more Christmassy feel and always looks simple but elegant. I love anything velvet so the skater dress was a clear choice and I think the sparkly polish and triangle earrings give it a nice retro twist.

. The challenge is still open until December 17th 2012 and you can take part and enter by looking at the details here.
