FORCES CREATIVE

Top - Forces Creative*

Trainers - Vintage Adidas

How 'me' is this top?? When Forces Creative got in touch with me to see if I'd be interested in one of their tees I didn't even hesitate before saying yes, the colours and design are just so cool! The package also came with a load of 80s pastel stickers so they now cover my diary, books and uni things...it was only awkward when I wore this top to uni the other day and realised I was entirely co-ordinated with my stationery.

I also found these super cute, vintage Adidas trainers on Depop whilst looking for an alternative to my white Adidas Honey Lows which I wear constantly. I'm totally obsessed with these trainers and they're perfect now that uni has begun again!

DUVET DAYS

Top* - Duvet Days

Jeans* - American Eagle Outfitters

Jacket - Very

Shoes - Missguided

This outfit is a bit of a mish mash of summer things and some new pieces for A/W. I'm trying to get as much wear out of my sandals and croptops as possible, but I'm still so excited to snuggle up in big jumpers and coats. Speaking of which, I HAVE A PINK FLUFFY JACKET AND I'M NEVER TAKING IT OFF. There, I said it.

LFW DAY 1

Jacket - Goodwill

Lace top - Nasty Gal

Bralet - Topshop

Shorts - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Office via eBay

Necklace - Topshop

This year I did LFW with my friend and fellow blogger Ellie, we booked loads of shows and had a really busy couple of days. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the new venue, it's just not the same as Somerset House! I also wish I'd been able to meet more blogger friends, but we were just so busy and our shows were quite far apart.

I'm so happy with these silver velvet babies, I managed to snap them up on eBay for only 99p! My jacket was another bargain, I picked it up for around £3 in Goodwill in the summer and thought it'd be perfect for the new season. It just goes to show you don't need to be decked in designer to go to Fashion Week!

HAPPY MONDAY

Top - Happy Monday

Jeans - Topshop

Shoes - DIY

This is a scheduled post so whilst you're reading this I'll be soaking up the sun exploring Marrakech! 

I won this top in an Instagram giveaway from Happy Monday, a super kawaii online store that has the cutest pieces. I decided to make the look really girly with my sequinned jeans and fluffy shoes. I've had so much interest in these babies that I was thinking about selling custom pairs on my depop if any of you would be interested? You could choose the shoes in black or white and then have up to 3 colours of your choice of fluffy embellishment. I think I would have to price them at around £45 to make it worth it so let me know what you think!

SAILOR MOON

Top - Camden Market

Skort - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Topshop

Bag - Primark

Just a quick outfit post to show you all this super cute Sailor Moon tee that my boyfriend got me in Camden Market, at first I thought I might struggle to put it with an outfit without it looking too much like pjs, but I love this look and it's so comfy to wear.

I'm also really chuffed with this recent Primark purchase, a holographic backpack big enough to fit my laptop and A4 notebooks in...for only £10! I'd been looking for something like it for a while and was expecting to have to pay more but nope, Primark to the rescue!

I'm currently in Marrakech so this is a scheduled post, but I'll be back next week with some holiday outfit pics!

ALICE VANDY X MY LITTLE PONY - PART 2

Top - c/o Alice Vandy x MLP

Bag - LAMODA

Shoes - c/o LAMODA (in the sale!)

So as you can probably tell, two of the photos from this post were taken on my phone so the quality isn't the best. This outfit post was the last one shot on the day my camera decided to die mid-shoot and we only managed to get a few images of this look. We took a few quick pictures on my phone and I ended up liking them more than the ones on my camera, so I hope you all don't mind!

I don't think I need to stress again how obsessed I am with the Alice Vandy x My Little Pony collection, it's just so fab and the quality is amazing. You can check out how I styled up the catsuit here.

I'm currently scheduling the posts that will go out this week whilst I'm in Marrakech, we leave at 3am tomorrow morning (Lord, help me) so today will be a busy one of packing and sorting out any last minute bits. I'm so excited to visit Morocco, it's definitely a place that has been on my bucket list for a while so I can't wait!

LAZY X RAGGED

Dungarees - c/o Rokit

Top - Brandy Melville

Shoes - DIY

The quality of these outfit pics isn't great I'm afraid, I think the lighting was a bit off but ah well, I wanted to show you all my outfit anyway! 

Amelia and I ventured over to the Lazy Oaf x The Ragged Priest collection launch party the other day  and had a cute afternoon taking each other's outfit pics in Notting Hill before heading over to the party for pizza and drinks. We both got our hair braided by Keash braids too which was fab, I got two little pastel plaits with gems and hair rings clipped in and I didn't want to take it out! I picked up some tips though so I'll definitely be trying it myself. 

The dress code for the event was 'Denim Babeeehh' so I went with my dungarees from Rokit vintage and a 90s themed look. It was such a comfy outfit and I really liked how cute it looked, I might switch up the heels for trainers and wear this to the airport on Thursday...(I'M GOING TO MARRAKECH!!)

You can check out the Lazy x Ragged collection here, my favourite item has to be these jeans!

Seeeeee, I'm not always a pastel princess!

So a few weeks ago when I was totally stressed, mid-revision for my exam, the lovely lot at American Eagle UK invited me down to their Old Street pop-up store for a bit of retail therapy. The shop is so cool, set up in Old Street tube station so you can pick up your perfect pair of jeans on your commute. With their friendly and knowledgable staff, the usual nightmare that is jeans shopping was made hassle free and totally easy - within 10 minutes I had the jeans I wanted.

I explained that I pretty much always wear black jeans, that I was petite and that I like all things high-waisted, the guy in the store picked a few options for me to try on and voila! THEY EVEN HAVE BELT LOOPS! Topshop Joni Jean fans, you will appreciate my excitement; the little things really do make such a big difference to your outfits.

I can also reveal that I have been consistently testing, wearing and washing these jeans since I got them and they're still jet black and fit so well. American Eagle is a brand I have supported for a long while now, both when they were solely in the US and now they've moved to the UK - if there's one thing they know how to do, it's denim!

The pop-up store is open until the end of September so make sure you check it out! If not you can always visit an AEO store in Westfield.
