Granny Pants

Monday, Me and a friend visited the Museum of London to see the exhibition that's currently on called 'Doctors, Dissection and Resurrection Men'. It sounds gruesome, but was actually really interesting. We also had a wander around the rest of the Museum which takes you from the Romans, through the Victorian era, to the 1920's, swinging 60's, punky 70's and even some pieces from last years Olympic ceremonies.
I got to play dress up, which I am a big fan of! The Roman's were rocking the leather waistcoats centuries before the punks made it cool.
Someone NEEDS to make me this 60's Beatles dress, pretty please! They also had some Mary Quant outfits.
Here's my outfit from the day.


The paisley printed trousers are from Boohoo. As soon as I spotted them, my mind started flashing with the various garments I could pair them with. They have so many different colours in the pattern that the outfit possibilities are endless! This time, I decided to wear them with a tan chiffon shirt layered with an evergreen equestrian jumper. The faux fur coat was given to me from a family friend. It's kept me super warm the last few weeks!

If anyone is about in London next Friday, my very good friend Martyn's band Black Cannons are playing at The Enterprise in Camden. Take a listen of their EP below!

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!

Guess who's back?!

Hello everyone. So sorry for my absence. Been pretty hectic since finishing uni but I am back (at least for a bit). I have so many outfit posts to catch up on, so I'll start with this one from a shopping trip a few weeks ago.

My leather bag is vintage from a little shop in Covent Garden called Pop Boutique. Such a cute little shop which sells all kinds of cheap vintage clothes and they also make their own vintage inspired dresses and skirts too. The capri trousers I bought in the sale last year from Dorothy Perkins. I haven't had much chance to wear them due to this British weather.

I am also selling lots of clothing over on my eBay account. More stuff will be added over the weekend too!

I want to thank all the new followers and all the new commenters. I've been a bit lame at replying but I'm back now so shall get on to it straight away! Come back tomorrow for a Paris outfit!!
