Mix and Match

Hey guys,

So I am back off holiday sooner than expected but I still have some fab pictures to show you. But before that I wanted to show you all one of my outfits I put together recently.

I decided to try mixing up some prints as I have seen that a lot of designers are doing it at the moment. It has always been something I have wanted to experiment with but have never been brave enough, I normally always pick things that I know will definitely go together. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I mixed a grey snake skin print playsuit with a vintage striped shirt, what do you all think to the outcome?




Playsuit - Topshop (very old)
Shirt - Vintage
Trainer - Converse
Necklace - Topshop

I have also noticed that I seem to have a slight obsession with my converses, I seem to be wearing them in far to many of my outfit posts, think I need to invest in a few more pairs of shoes. Ah well I think I can cope with a little shoe shopping spree :)

Hope you are all having a great start to the week...

Love

Packing for holidays and trying on some clothes at the same time

Hey guys,

I'm afraid this will be my last post for a couple of weeks as I am off on my little Europe adventure tomorrow, but don't you all worry as soon as I am back I will have tonnes of photos and outfit pictures to post.

Today I have been busy packing and as you do you have to try on every outfit you might be wearing to make sure it is acceptable and they have to be the right ones been as you are slightly limited by the 20kg weight you can carry on the plane...damn you ryan air for limiting my outfit choices! Anyway, I finally decided on the select few and the outfit pictured below has got to be one of my top 5.

What do you all think? I decided to layer my crop top over the dress as I am still not confident enough to flash my stomach, I am sure I will try and brave it at some point but for now I thought this was quite an inventive way to use it. The bag pictured is also my FIRST EVER river island bag, I know quite unbelievable considering how good the quality and price tag is. Let's just say this will definitely not be the last bag I buy from them.

Dress - Topshop
Crop top - Topshop
Bag - River Island
Shoes - Office



Necklace - Topshop sale

I hope you all have some fun filled weeks while I am away. I look forward to sharing with you all my pictures and memories when I am back and hopefully I may have a slight tan in some of those photos too. Well a girl can dream anyway.

Ciao for now :)

Love

Swirly Nail Art

Hey guys,

Just a quick post today as I have been super busy planning my little adventure across Europe. So far the boyfriend and I have planned a route from Italy, through Germany and Belgium and then back home to not so sunny England. I go away on the 17th July and I cannot wait, literally counting down the minutes! And of course I will definitely be blogging a long the way to keep you all up to date on my travels.

Anyway, just thought I would show you all how I painted my nails today. This black and white swirly nail art design was actually inspired from the wall paper in my room of all places and it is so easy to replicate, all you need is some black nail varnish as a base coat and a white nail art pen to do the swirly detail.

So what do you all think?




Hope you have all had a great start to the week? Do any of you have any exciting holidays planned?

Love

Ally J
