Cobalt

Jacket- H&M. Sunglasses-Cotton On. Jumper- Sportsgirl. Skorts- Zara. Bag- Sportsgirl. Shoes- Choies.com 

 This skort from Zara ticks just about every box in the desirable skirt/shorts stakes for me- tailored, asymetic , clean cut and electric blue- so I absolutely had to get it, there was no decision to be made!

Ive paired it with this chunky ribbed jumper from Sportsgirl and my most favourite addition to my wardrobe at the moment- my H&M leather jacket.

The skort also comes in white which I really liked too but every time I buy something in white I'm too scared to wear it out at night in case it gets ruined (flash back the Tuxedo jacket incident of 2011) and when I eventually do, I spill on it anyway. So at the moment, white tailoring and I are having some time apart.

Silk Separates

Jacket- H&M. Top- Choies. Shorts- Choies.com. Shoes- H&M. Sunglasses- ASOS. Bracelet- Merrin and Gussy

Hey Everyone,

How good is this H&M jacket? It is possibly THE best biker leather jacket I have ever seen on the high street, it was a little more expensive than H&M's usual prices but 100% worth it. Ive been wearing it so much recently and I have a feeling you are going to be seeing a lot more of it on the blog too.

Ive also been dying to show you this little top and shorts set from Choies. I love the silky pyjama-esque feel its got going on, they come together as a set but theyre great for mixing and matching with other pieces too.

A lot of you have been emailing to ask how delivery/customer service is at Choies.com and for me theyve always been great! Ive always been very happy with anything I have recieved from them so even if there had been a small wait it would be worth it in the end!

Bye Melbourne...

Hey Guys, 

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you will probably know that I'm back in Scotland at the moment for a short break. Its been so great to be home to see family and friends and take advantage of the British high street but I cant help but miss my second home.  

Thankfully my camera is now fixed so I will be back to blogging very very soon ! I have a huge backlog of things to show you all over the next couple of weeks, I think i'm probably going to have to do a post per day to get through it all. I cant wait :) 

Hope you've all been well and missed you all these last few weeks!

Biker Boots

Buckle back ankle boot and Romie boot - Both Jeffrey Campbell

Hatchell Harness boot and Haven distressed boot- both Free Bird by Steven

Such a dashing selection of boots! I love them all but if i had to pick i think the JC buckle backs and the Haven distressed are my favourites.

The Jeffrey Campbell Romie boots are kind of reminiscent of the Balenciaga cut out boots which are amaaazing! and I love the Wang-esque flicks on the back of these Free bird cowboy come biker renditions. wow wow wow. (perv in more detail HERE)

If i was taller I'd be rocking the flats far more often but seeing as I'm only 5"2 (and mildly vertically challenged) i like to stick to at least some kind of heel... but I'd definitely sacrifice any height issues for these pretty little boots.

Golden

jacket- vintage
skirt- h&m
jumper- Topshop
necklace-Topshop
spikey ring- Topshop

Hi Everyone, Happy August! I really cant believe we're in the 8th month of the year already ahhhHHHH. Its almost Christmas :)

Ive been wearing mostly silver jewels recently but have rekindled my love for gold with the arrival of my new SPIKEY ring. I'm very partial to a spike or two.

oh here it is!

I also got my hair done recently so im sporting a much lighter golden doo,  Its helping me feel a little bit more summery and beachy while im stuck in the greyest city of them ALL. Two of my friends jetted off to NewYork today for a little 2month American Roadtrip stint, so jealous!!!!

Anyways its not all  bad because its the first of the Month and that means... NEW MAGAZINE DAY. This will definitely get me through the week.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Deena & Ozzy

I cant decide which pair of these Deena & Ozzy shoes i like best... In a perfect world they would all be on my shoe shelf right NOW,but I'm a poor student with literally about £3 to my name until pay day tomorrow so sadly this is not the case.

You can get them at Urban Outfitters along with a bunch of other pretty shoes! I just really like shoes..a lot...maybe too much... sometimes when i walk i just cant help looking at them-

SHOES.

Happy Thursday

Drapes

Skirt- FullCircle

Jacket- Zara

Shoes- Aldo

I think its going to be a while before i get sick of draping - if EVER. It just makes everything look so much more interesting.

The back of this skirt is actually quite long and usually comes way down below my calves, so i've pinned two sections at the back up to make it a little more practical for work! Its amazing how you can transform any extra fabric with a few pins.

Ive also taken to Purple-ing up my lips quite a lot lately and have kind of been replacing eye make up with lip wear instead. I really want to try out those Lip tattoo's that have been going around lately but I'm scared i'd end up with it all smudging or half of it falling off or something.

 has anyone tried them yet and how well do they stay on?!

TieDye

So this is what I wore today :).

 I'm absolutely loving this tiedye skirt, its so diverse you could pretty much get away with wearing it to anything depending on how you style it.

I got it from Urban Outiftters but i imagine it would be pretty easy to DIY if your a bit of a tiedye pro.

I also really like this belt, its great for adding a bit of structure to an outfit. You might have noticed i have in nude too- i just couldnt help myself!

OH before i forget, we went to this little cupcake shop today called Back Bird and if you're ever in Aberdeen i totally recommend you go. Its AMAZING.

Thanks again for all the lovely comments, I really appreciate them.

Coral Coral

Shorts- H&M
Jacket- AllSaints
Top- Topshop
Belt- Urban Outfitters
Shoes- Topshop

 Im not usually drawn to pink and coral shades but i saw these little shorts in H&M the other day and had to have them! Apart from the fact they get creased far too easily, they are the perfect pair of summer shorts - they make my white crochet ones (also from H&M) seem like old news!

I also wanted to big up this basic white top from Topshop, i just love the fit and cut of it. I know it might seem boring but i had been looking for a high necked vest top for so long and i finally found one!

I actually almost lost this jacket last night, it was such a close call and a very traumatic moment! For some reason i thought i had put it behind a christmas tree in this club i was in (dont ask why there was a christmas tree there, i have NO idea!) but in a slight tequila haze i had actually located it in a little cupboard under the DJ booth (again, do not ask me why or how i found this cupboard i have no idea haha). But anyway, it turned up and nobody was harmed and we all lived happily ever after.

Hope you all had a good weekend too.

Work Wear

Dress- H&M
Jacket- Topshop
Shoes - NewLook
Bag-Topshop

This is what i wore to my place of work today, I don't think I could go to work wearing something boring and uninspiring because it would probably have a knock on effect on my creative activity and ultimately effect my quality of work ;)

I try to be creative and make my outfits as exciting as possible but a lot of the time I'm surrounded by Engineers who think a patterned tie with Black trousers and a white shirts is pretty outrageous!

This is quite a conservative and girly look for me but its nice to mix it up a bit and adapt your style depending on the occasion!

p.s i will definitely accumulate at least one colourful and interesting mark/stain on this dress by the end of the day! I think it adds a bit of character.

Love

Hello, just a little post today to show you my Navajo vintage knitted shorts, how cute are they?! They make me want to take up knitting so i can knit myself a pair of my own!

Also I think we should also just take a moment to look at how amazing these limited edition shorts from AllSaints are:

Wow, they are by far the best shorts ive seen in a while. They make my feather ones seem like a thing of the past! (sorry feather shorts, i still love you)
