you're a million miles away


Alright, first of all just let me apologise for the, lets say, "understaded" photographs which you are about to see. It's past midnight and a 12mp camera really isn't doing me any justice right now! But for the sake of argument, I'm just going to pretend that I was going for a grungy look, reflected in both the parka and the photo quality... Ha, shut up! Anyway, here you are...







Top: Topshop
Skirt: eBay
Jacket: My mum's... I think it's from Primark!
Bag: M&S
Shoes: Schuh's eBay (won them for £13 - they were originally £65!)

topshop lingerie

There's nothing I love more than wearing a matching bra and knickers set - there's something about it which gives me an extra confidence boost, despite the fact that I know nobody can see what I'm wearing! I'm currently selling some old clothes on ebay (check here to see my items!) and with the money I make, I'm thinking of treating myself and purchasing some lovely new lingerie sets from Topshop. I absolutely LOVE Topshop underwear: they seem to be so shape/size aware and their undies are always really comfy. Here's a few sets I have my eye on...

DENIM DAISY PRINT UNDERWIRE BRA AND MINI - £24

YELLOW LACE CROP BRALET AND LADYPANTS - £22

BLACK LACE BRALET AND MINI - £29

BLUE STRAPPY LACE TRIANGLE BRA AND KNICKERS - £10 for knickers

vintage tea dress







Excuse my terrible make-up and annoyingly stray strand of hair... But I brought this dress last Sunday at Nottingham Vintage Fair and have since been itching to share it with the  world! Unfortunately, the weather has not been the kindest recently, so I haven't had the chance to wear it (it's way too precious to wear out in the rain!) yet... So I'll just show you this beauty here!
Recently, I have become completely engrossed in the 50s/60s style, so it only seemed right to save all of my allowance (yep, I still get it... I don't think my dad wants to let go of the fact that I'm his baby!) to go on a spending spree at the vintage fair. Typically, I spotted this dress as soon as I walked in and fell in love with it. I was faced with the dilemma of whether or not to buy it now and spend all of my money, or just have a walk round in case I saw something else I liked more. But I just couldn't wait. I hated thinking that somebody else would fall in love with it, too, so I just had to grab it as quickly as I could! I am so glad I did so!
I've got my stepdad's mum and dad's fortieth wedding anniversary party slowly heading towards me, so I thought that this would be the perfect chance to wear it. I found a lovely pair of white peep toe slip-ons from Primark (£6 - bargain!) which match with this extremely well, and I just can't wait to finally wear it!
