Style Steal - Zooey Deschanel in New Girl

One of my favourite TV wardrobes is from Zooey Deschanel's character, Jess Day, in New Girl. I had been lusting over her navy double breasted coat for some time.
I have great news for anyone else who's heart has been skipping a beat with each episode Zooey wears this coat. I found this fab lookalike over at Romwe.com. What makes it even better is that it is already in the sale with 52% off AND you can get an extra 10% off by using code APR10% on all orders over $60!
The coat is also available in a classy red if you wanted something a bit more vibrant and the fur collar is detachable. I have bought the coat for myself and can confirm it is a delight to wear. Made in a very soft almost velvety material and is light but warm - perfect for the transition from winter to spring.
Romwe have become a new favourite fashion site of mine, uploading new products everyday, offering free world wide shipping on all orders, no matter how much you spend, and sending lots of vouchers if you're signed up to their mailing list.

If you can't afford a shopping spree, then why not update your wardrobe by attending SwapAholicsUK's clothing swap in May! Bring just £5 for entry and any clothes which you no longer want (make sure they're still in good condition for someone else to want) and then swap til you drop!!
I've been to a few of their events and always come back with some great new pieces to update my closet. This next event will be held in East London near to Hackney Wick station. If you can't make this event then make sure you like their Facebook page as another swap shop date will be announced soon!

Lastly, I've decided to make a Facebook page of my own for the blog. Everyone else has one, so why shouldn't Captain Charghley!! There'll be a new outfit post coming very soon.

Thanks for reading :)

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!

A Peek into my Wardrobe

Hello everyone! This post is just going to be an update of the recent looks I've posted onto LookBook and Chictopia.
First up is this outfit I wore the day I got to ride on the little ferry on the River Thames.





This was before the rain came to ruin our English Spring. The trousers are Primark and are so light and perfect for spring/summer. My shoes are vintage which I bought from Camden Market almost 2 years ago. A lot of my wardrobe is navy and nautical so these shoes go perfectly with almost everything I own!

This second outfit is what I wore for my lunch date with my two lovely Irish friends, Luke and Jenny.





I am very proud of managing to nab this bag for £1! Its from StylistPick, a website which specialises in shoes and handbags and create individual showrooms based on what you like. They were celebrating reaching 100,000 likes on facebook by offering the first 100 people an item for £1. So I quickly scoured the site and found this beautiful flower print bag. It has a detachable strap and features faux snake skin.

My third outfit is what I wore to the V&A Museum, which everyone should visit as its oh so beautiful!





The checked pleated skirt I got from a clothes swap at one of my friends house. Clothes swapping is great and lots of fun. Keep an eye on my blog for a future big clothes swap happening in Hoxton very very soon!

Coming in at number 4 is this ensemble I wore for Judy's Vintage Affordable Fair at Spitalfields a few weekends ago.





The navy and cream lace dress I got from EBay for an absolutely steal price of just 99p! I adore this dress as its so easy to wear and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The navy and green checked blazer I bought from a Salvation Army charity shop just off Regents Street. It's becoming one of my favourite shops as they have loads of vintage 60s dresses. I took another trip there recently so keep an eye on my blog for a very special dress soon. Now lets talk about the boots. These are still my absolute favourite, from Topshop in a rich navy blue velvet. They're so easy to just slip on and spice up any outfit.

And lastly, this is what I wore Easter Sunday for my cousins beer festival, they're called Brodie's Beers and with loads of different flavours, you're sure to find something you'll love!





Here I am showing the family support with my Brodie's tee. The skirt I bought years ago from a little boutique in Donegal, Ireland. I used the belt from the skirt as a bow in my hair. The navy cardigan with a lace collar is what I bought from Judy's Vintage fair the day before. The wonderful hat I am wearing actually belongs to the woman behind me in the photo. I thinks she made it herself. Its just beautiful!

So that's all the catching up done. I 'll be back either later tonight or tomorrow with a new post. Also a big thank you to everyone who voted/favourited my look for the Spring Bloom contest on Chictopia. Unfortunately I didn't win, but it's the taking part that counts =]

Thanks for reading/following/supporting <3
