O U T F I T | Daisy Crazy

Dress*: c/o Sugarhill Boutique
Hat: H&M (old)
Shoes: ASOS (similar here)

The daisy print just doesn't seem to be dying out. It's the perfect amount of girly mixed with grunge. This chiffon, button up smock dress by Sugarhill Boutique is the perfect transitional piece as it caters for whatever weather. When it gets a little colder towards the start of winter I'll be wearing it with tights and a chunky knit cardigan. For now however, I'll be baring my legs until the frost on the ground shows up, which doesn't seem to be that far away!

O U T F I T | White On White On White

Kimono*: c/o Oh My Love
Playsuit*: c/o Oh My Love
Hat: ASOS (similar here)
Necklace*: c/o lola&grace
Shoes: ASOS (similar here)

I mentioned previously that I'm currently in the middle of an internship with Oh My Love. I was meant to only stay for two weeks, but somehow that two weeks has turned into six weeks (and counting!) just because I'm having that much fun! This lazy Bank Holiday I was representing the company with two OML pieces in one outfit. It just so happens this fringed playsuit goes hand-in-hand with this lace, maxi kimono for a 'I really wish I was at a festival right now' vibe, which is actually the basis of the majority of my outfits.

W I S H L I S T | Dr Marten's

It's got to be said, I'm a bit of a hoarder for Dr. Marten's and in fact, I'm still coveting even more. I own a current count of 7 pairs, but still I'm building up a mental wishlist in my mind of new additions I want to add to my AW'14 wardrobe. Luckily, Spartoo have a huge range to choose from and even better still a lot of my favourite styles are included in their sale.

Dr. Marten's are 'forever boots' - although pricier than a pair of lace-up boots from the high street they're so sturdy they will last you the majority of your lifetime. My first pair (a garish gold metallic pair!) that I've had since I was 15 years old are still going strong and I even bought them secondhand! So if I'm feeling guilty about buying yet another pair, at least in the back of my mind I know I'll still be wearing them as an old lady!

O U T F I T | Autumn, is that you?

Jacket*: c/o Missguided (available here)
Hat: ASOS (available here)
Top: Urban Outfitters (old)
Trousers: Zara Sale (current)
Shoes*: c/o Shoe Zone

Evenings are beginning to get darker earlier, rain has began spotting the UK and the high street is full of AW14 stock. Could this be it? Could summer really be over? It's only mid-August! Usually I'm excited for the arrival of Autumn as I adore autumnwWinter dressing, but this year I'm actually sad to see summer go. I feel as if I've finally built up a capsule summer wardrobe of vintage maxi dresses and embellished crops that I've loved wearing the past season. I've got to admit though there's something that's just a little more sophisticated about A/W dressing. After all, I'll get to don my many faux fur coats and velvet can once again be a staple part of my outfits. Let's not forget Christmas! Oh Christmas! I'm so excited already!

As the weather took a turn I sported my first Autumn inspired outfit of the season. Missguided gifted me this jacket in the spring, but I was only able to wear it once before summer hit, so it'll definitely be seeing me through this autumn. I love how expensive and luxurious it looks. It could easily pass as an Acne number. My love for slip-on skate style shoes is getting a little out of hand and these holographic ones by Truffle from Shoe Zone are my most recent additions. When browsing the Shoe Zone website I was actually surprised by how much on site I wanted as usually it's a shop I just pass by on the high street. They have a vast selection of on trend, affordable shoes and I'll definitely be popping in more often from now on. The holographic upper bounces so well off of the embellished cuffs of these Zara joggers of dreams. One thing I love just as much as Christmas is a Zara sale! These joggers cost me a little less than £10 and I had my beady eyes on them when they were full price at £30!

L I N G E R I E | ASOS Red Vine Undies

Underwear: ASOS bra here & thong here

This is just a quick post to share with you my new favourite undergarms. After having an absolutely pants day yesterday (pun was definitely intended there!) I came home to the arrival of this red vine applique triangle bra and thong set from ASOS. There's no better remedy to a bad day than a lovely new pair of undies... apart from maybe chocolate. Lots of chocolate. The bra is available here and the matching pants are available here.

S P O T L I G H T | My Favourite Blog Posts

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from the camera and share a little blogger love. Here's a few reads that have really caught my attention over the past few weeks for you to enjoy!

'He Wears, She Wears | The Leather Edition' over at The Little Magpie


Shit hot couple alert! I love Amy's 'He Wears, She Wears' posts in where her boyfriend, Rob, joins her in front of the camera on the odd occasion. These two don leather jackets better than most. In fact, they could have easily stepped straight out of a The Kooples ad.



'How to Juggle a Daily Blog & Full-Time Career' over at Media Marmalade



Having just graduated and fallen straight into the welcoming arms of a full-time internship in the city I've been struggling to keep my blog posts regular. I no longer have heaps of free time like I did as a student! That's why Mel's post on juggling a successful blog and a career has come at the right time and has inspired me. This lady is Wonder Woman, truly! She manages to blog every single day and every post, in pictures and in words, is wonderful and well-considered. Also, be sure to check out her earlier post on how to keep organised and inspired.



'8 Beauty Hacks Every Girl Should Know' over at The Velvet Black



Alice and her blog, The Velvet Black, are pretty new on my radar but she instantly made it onto my essential daily reads list. Now when it comes to the topic of beauty I just bumble along and pretend I know what I'm doing when I actually don't. Every morning is a battle with my mascara wand. When she started her 'Beauty Hacks' post with part one here I instantly scrambled over to the mirror and tested out the concealer tip. If you're not a make-up savvy girl like myself and end up with lipstick halfway up your face when trying to apply it then Alice's posts could be your new saving grace!



'Hastings Adventures' over at Being Ashleigh



Ashleigh documented her recent family trip to Hastings Beach through an assortment of enchanting, grainy photographs that have aesthetically captured the essence of her day out perfectly. It's clear from previous work on her blog she's a talented photographer, but these photos really shine for me.



'Bristol's Best Bits' over at Being Little



Bristol is one of my favourite cities in the UK. I've been a number of times but I haven't visited in three years - I'm definitely overdue a trip! Lyzi has posted her favourite hotspots in the city she's made her home and she steers clear of the typical tourist conventions in Bristol. For example, I had no idea Bristol had a neighbouring forest under the name of 'Leigh Woods', which I definitely have to see! I've got this post bookmarked in preparation for my day trip there soon.

S P O T L I G H T | Iconemesis Indiegogo Campaign

iPhone 4s Case: c/o Iconemesis

Iconemesis are pretty well-known around these blogging parts. Their stylish and cute cases designed by a number of carefully selected illustrators have been circling the blogging world the best part of 2014; they've become an necessary accessory for a lot of bloggers alike. If you've been a reader for a while you may remember my first post for them here when I was kindly gifted their 'Coffee Collection' case, which I still love to this day!

Iconemesis, although a quaint, independent company are aiming to expand their company and manufacturing, so they have launched a campaign with Indiegogo here to try and rally some well-deserved support for their expansion. If you're able to support them with a small, but reasonable donation they'll even send you a case for your iPhone 5 or 5s to say thank you for the support! They kindly sent me over this feather printed design for my own phone, which I absolutely adore. It actually matches the tattoo on my ribs perfectly too - now that's coordiantion!

What's your favourite from their collection?

O U T F I T | Lucidity

Kimono*: c/o So In Fashion
Leggings*: c/o Red Label
Hat: H&M (old)
Top: Zara
Shoes: Miu Miu

You know when you put on an outfit and you instantly love it? That happened with this one. It's probably become a little obvious now, but I bloody love a pattern clash! The lace, fringed kimono is from So In Fashion. Now I thought I was over the dip-dye phase last summer, but this one is so subtle and enchanting I couldn't say no! I opted for a S/M as this is my usual size being a size 8 on top, but I've got to say the arms are quite tight and I wish I had actually sized up. If you're thinking of purchasing it I definitely recommend opting a size up unless you are quite petite. It's only £15 in their summer sale at the moment too and would be perfect for those late summer festivals.

These leggings... YES LEGGINGS...are incredible! I would never, ever usually wear leggings as trousers due to the whole 'pants on show' scenario that I would rather avoid. Also my sizable thighs and bum just don't have the daintiness to pull it off. These leggings though must be magic because I actually have the confidence to wear them with a cropped top. It's down to the fact they're high-waisted and they're thick enough to warrant as trousers. Unbelievably they're only £6.99 over at Red Label too!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate my Miu Miu seventies style mules? Thank you to the Depop gods for letting these into my life for just £20!
