New Buys. Yummy!

Trying to kid myself by doing some online sale shopping for my holibags, I ended up spending 3 hours online and purchased  a long sleeve denim dress (totally not worthy or 28 degree heat) and little cats eyes glasses. Typical me likes..... however I think I can handle the non nessessary purchases when there this lovely!

Glasses £12 and dress £40 ASOS. love love.... here's to another 3 hours online shopping probably to buy a non holiday outfit. Shock!

New age MOD

Yes yet again the Mod's are back with a vengeance. Absolutely loving the new age mod Topshop has launched recently, loving the boyish style, very Skin last season with the peg leg and cigarette trousers with the long oversized blazers. Few things that I will certainly be getting for my Autumn wardrobe, starting with the chelsea boots.

Toppers you are well and truely back in my good books! 

I love lucy...

Every girl needs playsuits and whats better than your favourite playsuit is your lovely VINTAGE playsuit and this is exactly that.. Showing my love for Lucy and this little  bad boy...

Looking gorgeous supporting this little number, with the gold studs and the flattering shape and neck line shows off her killer legs. Nice wee 80's number... with the vintage style always comes the little mishaps such as a dodgy stud, just adds to the fun. I love Lucy and this play suit even with her puppies out.. X

Vintage treasures.

I think having time off work is going to bring out the devil in me, the extremely happy with her new purchases devil in me at least. May end up with nah money but will be dressed up to the nines.


Got my eye on this little lovelies......

I love ebay. x

New Girl Crush

Any you lovelies that know me, will know that I frequently get girl crushes mainly on the rich and famous. Well my new one is Zooey Deschanel. 


I've always really liked her as an actress from seeing her in my ultimate favorite film ALMOST FAMOUS  

I don't think i've come across anyone who doesn't love this film and I absolutely love her in it ,with her amazing one liners, "one day, you'll be cool and the hilarious "this is a house of lies"  

Recently I watched the sweet romantic film 500 days of summer, where she supported amazing vintage outfits made me just fall in love with her even more. 

This one I adore, its so pretty and girly think I would just skip about wearing this haha. Think if we take a leaf out of her book one day we will all be cool! Love a good girl crush.

Shu style

New product crush... it seems everytime I go to my hair dressers there seems to be some sort of new hair product being used on my hair but tends to be the same brand, which is bumble and bumble. The last few times I've been they have used Shu Uemura which I love love. 


After paying for my hair cut which sets me back a few notes, I have to buy the products at around £22.50  each they are a bit steep however last for a long time. 


The two pastes that I use are thick and none greasy, they hold my hair really well which it needs as mines sounds almost like a short back and sides, with a long middle part, sounds bit gross but I love it!!

The paste is good for dry hair and doesnt go crunchy or flat, Its also good for when you are wanting to give your hair that semi curl or wave in it. I wouldn't really use if for hair any longer than shoulder length. You can get this cheaper than buying in hairdressers who stock Shu at www.shoprush.co.uk for £17.70 

I think this silk mesh is also really worth a purchase, I use this one first on towel dried hair, it holds your style in place before your dry it it was an absolute life saver as last weeks T in The Park as I couldn't for the life of me get to a hair dryer in the posh toilets, so had to use this on my hair and hope for the best in the sunshine and it didn't do 3 bad have a wee look...

The good thing about the silk mesh is that you can use it wet or dry and for added hold I add a bit of the silk mesh to the paste and use it dry works really well. Its available on the same website for £17.70 


The silk didn't do too bad for a muddy weekend in the poring rain..

Back to the 60's

 As if I need an excuse to write about the 60's, just as I was looking on the vogue website as normal the new Autumn/winter trend is yes you guessed it, its the 60's making another great appearance on the runway which I could not be anymore happy about. 


Apart from the micro mini skirts that are a summer must have along with collars and empire line dresses,    I love nothing more than trench coats and simple checks woolie coats in the winter. The block colour seems to be coming back mainly yellows and mustard colours which I think is gorgeous especially in winter time. Found a  few wee looks on the net. Have a wee looksee.....

Burberry's new collection looks amazing, the orange colour's are really warm and I think the a-line duffle design is very 60's the green cape is also a more mod 60's but equally as lovely in the olive green colour.

A little more my price range, is this Topshop navy ponte swing coat which I absolutely love. Topshop has a new range for Autumn/Winter which is mainly retro looks with the 60's straight lines and block colours. FAB! Topshop £68.00

This is also a little topshop number, I really like the colours and the shape of this classic coat, this once is a little bit more expensive however a key piece and can have for a long time to come. £85.00

With these your sorted for the Autumn time come rain and cold. These boots capture the 60's feminine going into male style, ie blazer, brogue heeled shoes, collars. Thinking thick woolie tights with short mini and camel trench, Lovely! Topshop £68.00 

I think these buy are keys pieces which will stay in your wardrobe for years to come trust me, I have a similar coat to the trench that's been in my wardrobe for 4 years and counting.

60's style always come back and always gets better!

Wedding Belles

Been a little while since I last blogged, been a little boring lately but am back in the game now... just back from TITP and have slept, well for pretty much 12 hours you would think I would be refreshed....nah! so since I've been going in and out of my faux disco naps ( as going to a disco is the last thing on my mind) I am now successfully feeling a tad worse for wear however fully awake which is handy just in time for bed.....go figure! never been one for doing things the right way around really?!

Spent plenty of notes this year on the perfect festival fashion, vintage play suite, vintage high waist shorts with yellow top and lovely lovely ditsy topshop dress for the Sunday for it to be drenched, however had a lovely time and I'm sure everything looked fabby underneath my army print raincoat...

My next thoughts are now turning to my lovely oldest friend I have's mum wedding.. not too sure what look am going for and I have lost a little bit of weight which means all they beautiful dresses that are hanging in my wardrobe are too big. (which i'm secretly happy about... but is an excuse for me to go SHOPPING!

Had my eye on this lovely little floral number from miss selfridge.

I think its a really lovely length especially with the dropped hem line at the back and the small floral print will be very flattering for more shorter or petite girls with the little bit of a fabulous curve. It was £45.00 now down to £25.00 which is even better. With the length and the price will give me an excuse to go buy killer platform heels, maybe a nude colour peep toe patent shoe, or these little lovelies which will bring out the orange and the brown tones in the dress and will look great with a nice brown tan.  

These court shoes are Miss KG Minnie by Kurt Geiger who's shoes I love love and are priced at £80.00 although found a great site - www.shoeaholics.com they are £49 great saving. 

So that's wedding sorted and then will be shortly back to another festival shop.... although I have decided to change my ways and think outside the box about the clothes and key Pieces I buy see what I can change, tweek and reuse before I hit the shops and this dress is certainly something I will wear again, in fact to my next festival at the end of the month, I'm thinking my vintage short racer style black top that's discreetly embellished to go over the top of the dress, that will turn the dress from daytime wedding to hippy/boho pretty, big gold accessories like this gorgeous head band - £20.00 from ASOS and will never date. With a headband like this I think the rest of the jewellery needs to be simple so its not taken away from the headband. 

  

I would stick to the statement ring and a lovely simple brown 70's boho bag from ASOS at £30.00

And to finish off with my old faithfuls - dr martens once I've scrubbed the TITP mud off them that is. They will completely turn the outfit around but I love it! 

Sorted!

I'm becoming a dab hand at this budget shopping.
