Nightmares are the stuff of reality...



 




(Jumper- c/o nANA jUDY via www.spoiledbrat.co.uk,  Shirt- My dads, Leggings- American Apparel,  Bag- Topshop) 

Yesterday I felt as fresh as a daisy which is a rarity for a Sunday morning so I went for a walk down the canal which was so lovely - the sun was beaming and all the little barge boats were out about and I said 'Morning' to about 12 strangers which makes me proper happy! 

Oh and before I ramble on the quality of these images are so bad I'm ashamed but my camera is playing  up at the minute so I had to use my iPhone and you can tell... so could anybody recommend a good blogging camera please please please because failing getting mine fixed I need to reinvest quick sticks! 

Not only did I wear this jumper all day yesterday, I wore it all evening and I am still wearing it as I sit and type now so urm yeah I like it. If I'm totally honest when I'm at home I spend the majority of my time in big oversized knits so this one is quite the perfect addition to my collection, it's super comfy, super huge and the skull & crossbones give it a little bit of a grungy edge which I likeee, it also comes in black which I like equally (if not a tad more!) 

I have claimed my dad's shirt as my own - last week I wore it so many times, I genuinely think everybody needs an oversized white shirt in their lives - clearly most people will use their boyfriends but if your a spinster like me heyyy dad! Haha.

Shut the door to the moon...






                           (Dress-Urban Outfitters  Cardigan-Rat and Boa  Shoes-River Island)


I am in complete dread about checking my bank statement this month - it has been a heavy month for the credit card due to holiday funding and one thing and another, I certainly didn't help matters when I ended up splurging £400 quid in Urban Outfitters as I was just passing by the other day, I wouldn't mind if I actually bought substantial items but the majority of it went on unicorns, hip flasks, cute cards and make up bags. I am a complete sucker for gimmicks and novelty items, anything that adds a bit of sparkle or tackiness to my bedroom and I'm game! 

Whilst on my novelty spree I did manage to pick up this adorable little dress, during the week I don't like to have to do too much thinking about what to wear, so I'm a big fan of dresses, practical ones at that, maxi or midi are perfect. You get a little chilly you can throw a jumper on and wear it like a skirt, simple dressing is sometimes the best. I guess an outfit wouldn't be complete without a hint of crochet, I wear this flimsy cardigan so much more than I ever imagined I would, it seems to go with nearly all my dresses and I love it as I do all of Rat and Boa's items. 

The shoes - I saw them on the internet and wanted them loads and loads but they only had them in stock in white - as gorgeous as they were I wanted something that I could practically throw on with everything, so basic black.. after searching 3 River Island stores I nearly gave up on these bad boys but the store in Liverpool came through for me which I'm so glad about because they are a perfect sandal going into Autumn. 

Also... check out River Island Jewellery at the moment, some of the most amazing pieces, this necklace in my post has little moons and stars dangling off and I stocked up on a whole load of other really amazing neck pieces.. seriously impressed! 

I'm off to Ibiza in the morning so being completely uncharacteristically organised I am packed and ready to roll so tonight I plan to have my first glass of sangria and get in the holiday spirit...OLAY!

Wild for wildfox...



I want this skirt so much I have decided to dedicate a whole blog post to it's amazingness.

 I'm a massive Wildfox fan and have been for over two years now after I spotted the white and red seeing stars jumper on Miley Cyrus and blew my whole months wages so I could own it, to this day I still worship it even though it's been slightly killed by cheap replica's on the market. 

I tend to buy two or three items a year as we all know this stuff does not come cheap, but for me I don't think the pieces ever date - they're fun and happy and everything clothing should be. I love when they do the odd the piece that isn't obvious Wildfox like this dreamy skirt, the candy floss colours, the super long length, it is just a little slice of heaven that should be in my wardrobe!! So if any of you lovelies stumble across one in a size S please inform me as I would be willing to sell my soul to the devil (extreme!) to own it! 

One of my favourite buys this summer is this little beauty which is packed and ready to take to the isle of Ibiza with me so it's not all doom and gloom... 


Thanks to Wildfox for being such a babe... I can't wait to get back to LA next May and restock on some fab pieces for nearly half the price... god bless America!
