Absolute Vintage

What glorious weather we've been having here in London!

Those of you who follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, will have had a sneak peek of today's outfit. So without further ado...

This beaut of a shirt is a vintage number from Absolute Vintage near Brick Lane. That shop is my kind of paradise! My black skater skirt is an essential buy from H&M and these adorable shoes are from ASOS.

Excuse the state of me tights, but check out that mini mirrored heel! I could dance all night in these. Unfortunately they're all sold out but I did find this similar pair.
Now, back to that shirt...

We all know I'm a sucker for stripes, but that's not the only reason I fell for this shirt. I love all the little details that make it so different. The bows on the sleeves are super cute and girly. And just look at those adorable buttons!

I'm headed to Brighton (again!) tomorrow, so hopefully I'll come back with some more vintage goodies to show you all. Wish you all a wonderful weekend. If you're headed on a road trip, be sure to check out the playlist below that I compiled for Relay Rides. Toodles!!

Kick in the Teeth

Sorry for the quiet on the blog front, I was away on the sea front! Went to visit Brighton for a few days to celebrate my housemate Chloe's birthday. Always have a great time down there so look out for some Brighton looks coming soon. For now, here's an outfit from last week.

This is slightly grungier than my previous looks. The sheer blouse is by Red Herring from Debenhams. I am currently selling it on eBay. My leather shorts are also Red Herring and my black cowboy style boots I bought from one of those cheap shoe shops down Oxford Street a few years ago. I'll probably be selling those soon too.

I received so many lovely comments and gained some even lovelier new followers whilst I was away, so now I'll get responding and following back. If you do follow me, make sure to tell me in a comment as I don't get notified of new followers and I want to follow you lovely lot back! Check out my other items on eBay including this dress from my last post! I'll be back tomorrow!!

2 Days in Paris

A few weeks ago I visited the beautiful City of Paris with my housemate Luke. Prepare yourselves for exclamation marks after every sentence! This is me trying my best to look French but probably coming across more English than ever!

My blouse is from Romwe, my new favourite place to shop. They add new pieces everyday and I fall in love with everything! We all know I love all things nautical so this blouse just screamed my name! The hat I got from a vintage fair in Shoreditch last year. I ended up 'accidently' leaving my hat behind, so I've HAD to book another trip over to Paris.

On our first night we met up with 2 other friends, Denise and Gregoire, who were also over from London. We spent part of the evening on the Pont des Arts, a really lovely bridge where all the cool kids seem to hang out. It's covered in padlocks etched in lovers names to symbolise eternal love.

The next day we were taken on a tour to cute cafes and fab vintage shops by my French twin Béryl. In one vintage shop I bought myself 3 pairs of shorts, a skirt and a shirt all for under 16 Euro - Bargain!The food over there is delicious and so much cheaper than London and don't even get me started on the wine!! We even went in to Chanel - so amazing!!! These cool stripey podiums were at the Jardins du Palais Royal.

Took a little walk past the Moulin Rouge (Where my arse was checked out!)

And how could we not go and see the Eiffel Tower. We packed a picnic of a selection of cheeses, saucisson, wine and chocolate. Béryl brought along her ukulele and we had a little singsong whilst watching the Tower sparkle.

A massive thank you to Béryl for being an amazing host and for agreeing to let me come visit again next month! I have never been so sad to come back to London (and I do love London).

Come back tomorrow for another outfit post. Thanks for all the comments, I do read them all and try my best to reply and check out your blogs too. <3 And don't forget to check what II'm selling on eBay, will be adding more stuff in a few days time!

The Original Tour Box Office

As the end of exam celebrations are dying down, I am finding more time to post looks onto my Lookbook and Chictopia accounts and to do some more blogging. Here's what I wore to The Other Art Fair last weekend.

My first ever Romwe purchase finally arrived! This double breasted blouse is faultless in this seasons most popular colour, mint green. I love the big laced collar too. It also perfectly matches my green Faith shoes which I wore to my prom 6 years ago! After watching Tim Burton's Dark Shadows I decided to bring back the 70s in these High waisted flared jeans from Forever 21.

Don't forget to check out the Facebook event page for this exciting new Clothes Swapping event happening in London next month! If you can't make this one, then why not like the Facebook page to be told of more events in the future!
