Mojo

'Ello 'ello!

Last week I went to see Mojo at the theatre featuring an amazing cast of (wait for it...) Rupert Grint, Ben Whishaw, Colin Morgan, Daniel Mays and Brendan Coyle. It was such a good play and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Here's what I wore.

The retro braided sweater and pleated high waist pleuche velvet skirt are both from Oasap. I layered the jumper over a plain pink shirt and added a red ribbon tied as a bow as a little extra something. My midnight blue clutch is from Accessorize and the navy chelsea boots are from Topshop.

I'm really starting to feel a bit Christmassy (too early?). The cute Santa ring is actually from the top of a little Christmas bun from Greggs. I just had to have him!! He'll feature some more on the blog in the lead up to Crimbo.

If you are looking for something to see in London, I highly recommend Mojo. There are lots of strong performances from a fantastic cast line up, and who knew Ben Whishaw could sing?! I cannot wait to go and see it again!

Thanks for reading. I'll be back soon!

R U Mine?

Whilst I am still in the process of picking my 15 favourite blogs as part of "The One Lovely Blog" Award, I thought I'd upload a quick outfit post.

This nautical style dress is from River Island. My Mum bought me it for Christmas but unfortunately it is too big so I am currently selling it on eBay. It still has 4 days left, so you better get bidding!! I have also entered this photo into the Lookbook.nu X River Island contest. It would be really awesome if you could help me win by hyping my look. You may spot a little paw on my leg and another little creature in the bottom left hand corner. We have kittens!! 3 altogether and they're are the cutest things ever!!

I'll be adding some more things to my eBay later tonight so check out my selling page. I'll also be posting a different item I am selling each day over on my Lookbook and Chictopia pages so check them out too!! I'll be back soon with my chosen 15 "One Lovely Blogger" awards =]

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

Saying goodbye

Don't worry, I am not saying goodbye to this blog! I'm just saying goodbye to a few pieces of clothing on eBay. About a year ago, I wrote this blog entry featuring an outfit that seemed quite popular. Well today's your lucky day as I am selling the dress here AND the Matthew Williamson shoes here. Here's a little reminder

I also have for a sale a gorgeous red velvet Luella blazer which I am so sad to have to sell. I found it over at Portabello Road Market and just had to buy it, but unfortunately it is slightly too big for me. It's brand new, still with the tags attached and can be seen on the AW 07 catwalk below

If you go way way back to October 2010 you will find this post about spirit day. In it, I am wearing a Henry Holland purple polka dot top which I am also selling here.

The last piece I am going to mention is these shorts. They are from New Look and can be seen on Alexa Chung as part of their advertising campaign a few years ago.

This isn't all that I am selling. You can see the full list of items here. Good luck if you decide to bid and thanks for visiting!

Casino Royale Blue

Last week was my housemate Ednora's birthday, so we celebrated by dining at Cabana followed by drinks in the new Aspers Casino in Westfield Stratford City. It's a very swanky kind of place so we decided to dress up a wee bit. I thought I'd also brave the black lippy. Here's what I wore:

I shall start with the blue velvet boots. It was love at first sight when I saw these beauties in Topshop. Everyone needs some seductive blue velvet in their lives. Next up is my bright blue blazer (try saying that after a few drinks!). I bought it from Zara's sale. For such a bold piece, it actually goes with quite a lot. Fans of New Girl may recognise it.....

 They also had it in a hot pink. I would also like to point out to my Mother, if she's reading this; Yes that is a real cigarette in my hand but it was just used as a prop!
And now I'll leave you with this snap of Me and the housemates trying to look all Mad Men-esque.

Red European Premiere

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be invited to the European Premiere of Red by my friend Kevin who had won tickets. I really liked the film. It had laughs, action and a bit of a love story. John Malkovich was hilarious and I now have a bit of a crush on Bruce Willis (I swear that man doesn't age and he still knows how to kick butt!). Anyway, I decided to get a bit dressed up as its not everyday I actually get to walk down the red carpet.



The dress I'm wearing is velvet body con with mess sleeves and neckline. I bought it from Pop Boutique in Leicester. My leopard print coat was purchased from eBay and cost me under £20 (don't worry, no animals were harmed in the making). Finally my boots were bought from a charity shop for just £6.99. Oh, and look who I bumped into as I was leaving the screening.....

Its only Jermaine Jackson. I told him we are birthday buddies and he said 'Ah, your a Saggie too' and then he hugged me. He was lovely.
