80's Vibe

 Good evening everyone...

The sunshine is finally here and there is no snow to be seen. Thank god, I thought I would never be able to get out of my big jumpers!

So to embrace the sunshine I quickly threw on my new tie dye crop top from the vintage section in Topshop and then paired it with my uber cool high waisted jeans, which have been my best investment so far this year. I then contrasted the turquoise from my top with my oxblood cut out boots and an inherited vintage headband given to me by my Mum. Which gave me the added 80's vibe to this outfit. This outfit actually made me realise that as scary as it sounds it just shows how we are in fact dressing like our parents used to!

I hope you all like the outfit :)

Headband - From Mum

Do any of you have any clothes inherited from your parents that you like to experiment with?

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 :)

New Brand: Abide

Hey guys,

Well it's all work work work and no play for me at the moment, cannot wait to get my life back. I have been trying to join a gym as well this week but with no success as all the good gyms in London are around £80 a month! So I am making do with youtube yoga videos and I might even try running outside since the sun has finally decided to show its face.

Anyway, a couple of days a go a new brand was brought to my attention, it's called Abide, it's a British brand which is handmade in Devon, so it is quintessentially British. It is inspired by the British countryside and seaside, which I love being a little country bumkin myself. The website has only just launched (www.abideclothing.co.uk) and I have been having a little mooch about and I have to say their clothes are gorgeous!

Here are a few of my favourites...

Pictures from Abide

Abide's new collection has a very laid back feel, that is ideal for basics, work and evening wear, The colour palette is washed and chalky with a few parts of added colour and the fabrics are so delicate with the use of precious silks, linens and fine jersey. I think it is the perfect collection for those long summer evenings walking through fields full of wild flowers...think I am slowly getting lost in my own imagination. But honestly I think this brand screams elegance, femininity and beauty. I know it is a little pricey but I would definitely pay that much for the quality and attention to detail you get from having a garment that is handmade! So check out their website and see what you think www.abideclothing.co.uk :)

Hope you all had a lovely evening.

Love
