Eiffel Eyeful

More from my trip to Paris. Day 2 was a much more tourist type of day. I took Chloe to see the Eiffel Tower as we missed out on it during our last trip 2 years ago. Managed to capture some great shots in between the horrid outbursts of torrential rain, you would never have guessed with these blue skies!




I decided I'd have a go at being the Eiffel Tower...

After getting an eyeful of the tower (see what I did there..?) and the skies had stopped crying, we took a lovely canal walk, taking in all the wonderful sights; random giant silver dinosaur, swing ball sets for anyone to use (if they did this in London, they'd be stolen after 5 minutes!) and a perfect backdrop for my outfit pic of the day!




Sorry guys, yet more navy and black. This colour combination just makes me feel more French. Of course there was going to be some stripes on my trip! My jumper with the lace collar is from Primark (I love it so much, I bought one in black too!). I've paired it with these high waisted black skinny jeans from New Look, navy hi-top Converse and my Forever 21 anchor sunglasses.

Highlight of the day has to be...

I'll be back with day 3 very soon. It features our visit to the Louvre!! Thanks for reading =]

Something Old, Something Blue

Wedding season is definitely upon us, it seems everyone is at it! My 2 very dear friends Russell and Bernie recently did it and what a wonderful celebration of their love it was. Here's what I wore!



Sorry for the bad quality photo. This was the only one I managed to get of my full outfit on the day. Not only is this dress something old (vintage) but it's also something blue, so perfect for a wedding! I picked up this lovely dress over 2 years ago from a vintage fair in Shoreditch. It had been hung up in my wardrobe since the day I bought it just waiting for my friends wedding...and finally, the day had arrived! My inspiration for this look was  Zooey Deschanel's character in 500 Days of Summer.



I decided to go super cute and girly and wear my blue t-bar heels with these sweet frilly socks from Primark. They really did bring the whole outfit together. The shoes are by Topshop which I bought from a car boot sale for a bargain price of £1!! The hardest part of putting this getup together was finding a bag...

This glitzy clutch is from Peacocks. The crochet detailing helped keep a vintage feel to my outfit. It was the perfect size for me and the cream colour means it will basically go with pretty much anything.

My date for the special occasion was Luke :)

 We travelled to the reception in style!


And check out the cute little name tags on the table. It was just before Easter, so the little buckets of eggs was a great touch!


There was also a photobooth with props, so of course we made a few trips inside...quite a lot of trips actually!



A massive congratulations to Mr and Mrs Nelson. Thank you for inviting us to your amazingly special day. Love these guys so much!!
