I love finding things that you have lurking around the back of your closet for a few years, especially when they're current pieces. This skirt is a favourite of mine; I picked it up in a market in Paris about 2 Summers ago for a steal at 10 Euros. The print is so cute and I adore the little button details on the front. Keeping in with the floral's I've layered on my amazing lace jacket from River Island with the gorgeous appliqué flower detailing. x

When the sun is out you can't go wrong with a long sheer kimono. I adore this one from Forever 21 with its cute earthy rose print and long shape. I kept in with a little hint of a boho vibe and accessorised with black leather boots and a black hat. x

Palm prints and really any tropical-esque prints have been all over the catwalks and highstreet for SS14. I adore this crop top from Warehouse, it's a really wearable way of wearing the print in the toned down shades of navy and cream. A bit of candy pink lips and some gold studs and I'll be ready to embrace the sunshine! x

I went vintage shopping with my amazing friends the weekend before last. Geraint of His Name Is Fashion and Sinead of Hackney Rose. We went to the East End Thrift Store's £1 jumble sale, and boy did I find some amazing pieces. You will definitely see me sporting my fabulous finds soon. 

As the weather was glorious I wore my amazing white slip dress from Forever 21. It has beautiful lace detailing on the front and around the sides and is such a comfortable piece. I literally felt like I was wearing a nightie, but to stop it looking like I was I paired my dress with a studded leather jacket and biker boots. x

A couple of weeks back I was off work battling an awful cold. I'm one of those people who can't sit still for very long, so being at home for 3 days I was going pretty insane; I mean how many episodes of Criminal Minds can I actually watch in one day?! I decided to spend my time a bit more creatively and spent a lovely amount of time on my sewing machine.

I have a ridiculous amount of fabric at home and I found this amazing two-tone fabric and knew I had to do something with it. I've been in love with Midi Skirts (obsessed is probably more appropriate) and decided this would be my little project. I opted for a double layer full skirt with pleat detail around the waist band to give the skirt some movement.

When I finally was able to wear the skirt I thought monochromatic florals would add a bit of interest contrasted with little hits of gold hardware on my studded clutch, shoes and belt. x

There is something so comforting about putting on a warm jumper on a freezing day. I've always been drawn towards knitwear the minute I feel a cool breeze, and with London being not so warm (understatement of the year) outside I've made no exception. My favourite thing to do is layer my knitwear over a clean white shirt, and then some more layering by wearing my baggy jumper over a skirt. I opted for a midi skirt the other day, purely because I wanted a chance to wear my amazing sandals from Forever 21, and midi skirts are a bit more cold weather friendly if you want to wear some sandals and get the toes out. x

Call Me Laced

Here's a look from a week or so ago, I was trying to channel a bit of festival inspired fashion mixed with my general go-to's for spring and summer; denim and lace. I'm actually wearing a floral embroidered lace top layered over a lace dress, because let's be honest, can you ever have too much lace? 

Other things I'll definitely be reaching for is my oversized denim jacket, tan accessories, and any sort of gold jewellery. The more the merrier! x

So it's been a while since I've last blogged, a lot has changed which kind of halted the blogging flow, and once it stopped it gets a bit difficult to get back into the swing of it, my apologies! It's been a crazy few months; new job, holidays, house redecorating and general life and everything else getting in the way! 

I'll start with the holiday! In March my sister and I went to LA and oh my god it was amazing! 

Here are a few snaps from day one.

Relaxing in the sun with my sister, snaps on Hollywood Boulevard, shopping in the Highland Mall where you can see the top of the Loews hotel where we stayed, and the breathtaking view of the city and Hollywood sign from our hotel room!

About a month or so ago I shared with all of you that I'm getting into jewellery making. I just wanted to share my latest necklace, but mainly the influences behind this particular piece. I love vintage jewellery and by far my favourite pieces are the pearl and gold Chanel designs.

For the piece I made I sourced vintage gold and pearl floral buttons that shared the classic Chanel-esque qualities. Hope you all like it! x

The weather is amazing in London town this week, perfect for sitting around with an ice cold beverage whilst watching the Olympics (go team GB!). I did enjoy a lovely shopping trip with my friend even if it was blisteringly hot, and got an amazing vintage find which I'll be sure to share with you in a future post! x

Hi there! This post is something which I've wanted to share with all of you for a while, very long overdue. Now I'm sure many of you may gather I have an extreme love for jewellery and I have a very large collection, but for a while now I've actually started making my own jewellery, so far just a few necklaces and bracelets. 

I love unique looking statement pieces and so my favourite things to use are little vintage trinkets, bits of old vintage jewellery mixed with classic gold and silver chains. I've made a little collection so far and I'm in the process of designing and making more. The first piece I'm going to share with you is this battered gold square pendant necklace, I took inspiration from chunky Chanel jewellery from the 80's and 90's. I'll share more of the pieces I've made in future posts. x

And this is how it looks like on! x

Hi there! I've been recovering from a nasty bug which has literally caused me so much pain in the past few days. Not so nice to be confined to your bedroom, especially when the weather in London  was so gorgeous and sunny. But now I'm back to my normal healthy self  (and about 12lbs lighter which is quite crazy) and all I have is the rain outside, lovely. x

Here's a brief guide to how I do the braid in my hair, in the photo on the previous post 'Call Me Spring' I actually did the braid on my friends hair, so here are photo's on how I do it on my own hair. 

First grab a small section starting from one side near your ear and then separate into three to start forming your braid.

When you do, start pulling from the front only into the braid. I do it this way because I find it allows the hair behind it to fall nicely, and its also easier to style the rest of your hair if you wanted to do a chic up-do or pinned to the side like I have.
