This week of style x

This week I have been lucky enough to find some exciting new things, at bargain prices from a charity shop in Hove! This week I also started a new project volunteering as a vintage expert for the Barnardo's charity shop on western road, Brighton! It’s full of affordable vintage, everyone check it out!

Check out this lush eighties take on the day...... loving the waistcoat detail here!

next was another polka dot eighties day (there seem to have been a lot of those lately)

Then with the lovely sunny weather i went all girly!

Then i hit the weekend with this AMAZING scarf print shirt (very S/S 12)

And how fucking cool is this leather batwing top.... leather batwing!!!?! which you cant even see because of my shit photo's!

Monday happened and i cracked out these vintage m&s culottes, LOVE!

don't they just make you want to go rave?

And today i cracked out this cutesy eighties midi skirt, but grunged it up with a nivana t-shirt, and a tribal print shirt with this lush cardie layered over the top.

What a happy clothes week? am i not a lucky girl?! x

Sheer genius!

I had a clothing crisis on Friday night, luckily my friend josh came to the rescue! Rocking three spring trends- Fondant, blooms and sheer! The skirt underneath my blouse is just another sheer blouse that’s tucked into my hot pants to make a skirt! Genius! Add my gorgeous white eighties leather jacket it’s the perfect gig outfit! Well done josh!

Saturday and Sundays attempts where rather eighties but my floral headband got an outing!

Be like me.

With all this sunshine I have been starting to daydream about festival fashion, I love the dressing up and shabby elements that you can bring to your outfits when dancing in a field! That and all the glitter make up anyway, what festival outfit would be complete without a floral headband, ive been meaning to make one for like ever and here it is……..

Since it’s been a little drier with these spring like days I’ve finally been able to crack out my pale pink boat shoes, hooray!

The message has never been clearer- BE LIKE ME, as shown on this t shirt I scribbled on last night with fabric felt tip pens……. Go on create your own message.

The sun WILL come out tomorrow.

With all this sun we have had lately I have been lusting after some new sunnies since January! Found this pair in Snoopers Paradise yesterday for three pounds! Bargain! So basically the weather has to carry on being lovely now so I can wear them. Complete with todays folky outfit it's been a lovely day!

Back with heart.

Apologies, I have been rather slack this last week, don’t know why but I seem to have lost the feeling that I have any right to comment on clothes and style the last week! However I am back, I’m trying and I have a couple of lovely new pieces as well!

A brief discussion on hearts………….. Anyone seen Marina and the Diamonds new video? This is a complete copy of her, I’ll hold up my hands to that! Don’t you just love it?

I have been lusting after a camo jacket for ages, urban outfitters have a version which is like thirty quid, I got this for a tenner from a charity shop! Result!

Fair Isle style print crop top, you know I’m obsessed with crops tops and hooray this one is so satisfying!

Fake Louis Vuitton bag, I would never ever normally go for this kind of thing however I love the shape and how worn this bag looks……. Shabby chic!

The last few days outfits…………..

Tah'Dah...

I was very excited to dye my hair. Before September I had blonde hair for about 4 years; I don't count the few weeks in January-February 2010 when I followed some silly silly advice. That was a disaster.

I am very prone to changing my hair at least every month or so. I find hair gets very boring very quickly, you discover all the styles that are possible with it and wear it each and every way. Then, well then Its boring again! So...

During the Dying process

After the Dying process

Better photos will proceed when it's been toned and hopefully gains a lilac-ee tinge.

Sophisticated

Yesterdays outfit for a flat viewing... an attempt to make myself seem a little more mature, to ensure I definitely get the flat. I love pretending I'm an grown up.

Playsuit from Beyond Retro with a Blouse/dress from a charity shop. Electric Blue (my favorite colour to wear) shoes from Primark and a riders jacket from The Wardrobe in Hastings old town.

Its a little more simple than I would usually go for but still worked well for a sunny spring afternoon.

Crop tops and Bows!

Ok, as you can see this old Topshop jumper that I bought from a charity shop is having a bit of a moment in my life, not being the skinniest you would think that crop tops would be a complete no no. However when worn with anything high waisted I’m all for a bit of rib flashing! Crop tops are still in the news for spring/summer 12, if that’s the sort of thing you care about, but if not have a change of heart and crack out those high waisters and take the scissors to an old t-shirt and give yourself a new silhouette.

Crafty Cards.

Oh the simple craft of making a card…… such satisfaction gained from sticking a few pretty things onto a piece of folded card! I hate to discredit myself but this is actually one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways of being a little creative. The housey pictures are from an old Cath Kidston wallpaper leaflet…… recycling to the max! Oh how the Superscrimpers would be proud! Now if you know me at all then you will be aware of my obsession with Cath Kidston which has spanned many years. So in my honour go check out her new spring collections to get inspired! And then go stick some old bits of paper, sweet wrappers, and some pictures of roses cut out of the adverts selling seeds in the Sunday newspaper magazines and make me a card!

A weekend in style.

I started of friday with this cutsey dress which is seventies does fifties, ive been horading this dress for the past two months and i really enjoyed its first outing!

One of my biggest style dilemmas is what to wear for ‘special’ occasions or nights out?! I think it’s the added pressure of wanting to look extra nice and perhaps wanting to impress. With excitement of going to a gig I wanted to mark the occasion with a significant look! I feel I did this in this beautiful sequined top worn with my crazy tribal print leggings! Result!

Saturdays grungy work outfit.

A strong style weekend I feel finished off today with an outing for one of my favourite ever jackets, I’ve almost worn in a bit of a sports luxe manner I feel!
