2ND PHOTO BY SHOPE


I received this gorgeous set from Cosabella a little while ago and I've been really excited to share my thoughts with you guys as I'm so in love with it! I have previously blogged about swimwear - not yet underwear - but I'm totally comfortable with it and as I did mention in - my haul video, I love seeing what new underwear bloggers find because I'm always in the market for new sets!

My whole life I've always worn basic underwear from Primark or M&S because I saw it as a necessity and it's affordable from those two places - but owning some super pretty undergarments has made me realise you get what you pay for, so in my case I've never got anything special.

Then this little Cosabella set came along and I'm so obsessed with it, I mean, for a start it's ombré - super on trend and unique. It's also in the triangle shape which is ~all the rage~ lately and I've been on the hunt for a good triangle bra for a while. The lace is stretchy but firm so er..keeps you all in, as well as being breathable for the summer weather and to top it all off, it's the comfiest underwear I've ever worn - no word of a lie; support and comfort is a new discovery for me and It's set almost unrealistic expectations for future bras - think I definitely need some more Cosabella in my life!

YOU ARE THE CONSTELLATIONS

  

NECKLACE* // BLACK SHEEP BOUTIQUE
DRESS* // MINTY JUNGLE
BOOTS* // ARK
RINGS // RACHAEL SUDLOW, ZARA TAYLOR*, DIXI*, MARKET, GOOD GIRL COLLECTIVE*, INFINITINE*
LIPS // MAC BOYFRIEND STEALER

A very simple outfit today but I thought I'd let the dress speak for itself as it's so cool! I'm really into moons and constellations etc at the moment so this dress came into my life at the perfect time.  While I'm here I'd also like to apologise for the lack of daily posting and also for neglecting my YouTube channel - I've been so busy with a new job and moving house that I've been struggling to get anything done.  Hopefully regular posting will resume shortly!

WHICH WAY WILL THE HEAVENLY GO

  
SUNGLASSES* // ZERO UV
NECKLACE* // BLACK SHEEP BOUTIQUE
JEANS* // DROP DEAD
BOOTS* // MISSGUIDED
BAG* // GRAFEA
BRACELET* // DIXI


If you follow any of my social platforms, you'll know that yesterday I posted a certain cheeky photo (pun intended) - I received these Drop Dead jeans at the start of the weekend and I they fit me so perfectly that I just had to take some outfit photos with them straight away.  The best part?  They're only £20, get 'em while they're still in stock!  

This is a little insight into my daily fashion life - like many people, I tend to gravitate to black, so this is something I'd wear on a day to day basis.  I've been a bit moon obsessed for the past couple of months, so this 'lunacy' moon phase tee from Dogbreath fits right into my wardrobe, it's the perfect crop and such a versatile piece.

URBAN BEACH

 
 
SUNGLASSES* // RAY BAN VIA SUNGLASSES SHOP
NECKLACE* // DRUZY DREAMS
JACKET* // MISSGUIDED
TOP* // MISSGUIDED
SKIRT* // MISSGUIDED
SLIDERS* // MISSGUIDED
BRACELET* // DIXI


While wandering around location hunting for this outfit we stumbled across all these pretty garages, and thought it would be a nice background, then while I was editing I realised it looks like an urban beach - so thought it fitted nicely with the tropical skirt!  Surprisingly, I'm not wearing any black this time, I guess that's the impact all this sunny weather has on my wardrobe!

GO ALONE MY FLOWER

  
HAT // H&M (SIMILAR)
CHOKER // TOPSHOP
COAT* // SHEINSIDE
DRESS* // DAISY STREET
BAG // VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
SHOES // TOPSHOP
RINGS // RACHEL SUDLOW, ROGUE + WOLF, DIXI, RINGS & TINGS, DIXI, MARKET

I finally got my hands on a camel coat and thought it looked great against the dense print of this smock.  It fits me really well and although it's not to everyones taste, I love how completely shapeless it is!  I finished off the look with some cutesy shoes & a choker to keep from being too girly and love how everything looks together!

JACKET* // MISSGUIDED (SIMILAR)
TOP // CHEAP MONDAY
SHORTS* // MISSGUIDED

BLOGGERS: SAMANTHA NASH, LAURA ROGAN, KAYLA HADLINGTON, ELLA HEDLEY

I'm a little late blogging on this one, but am slowly getting more up to date with catch up blogging so please bear with while I sort everything out!  I popped into the New Look AW14 event last month and was greeted with a plethora of sequins mixed with luxe fur and a ton of glitzy accessories - extremely impressed with the new collection.  I spent my time clutching a Midori cocktail and catching up with some blogger buddies, lusting over the gorgeous pieces - big thanks to New Look for organising and (I can't believe I'm saying this) bring on autumn!

PAISLEY CRUSH

  
SUNGLASSES* // MINKPINK
NECKLACE* // SHOP MOON CHILD
TEE // TOPSHOP
DRESS* // MINKPINK
TRAINERS // TRUE RELIGION
RINGS // RACHEL SUDLOW, MARKET, DIXI*, RINGS & TINGS*, WANDERLUST*, TOPSHOP*

I've never been particularly good at the whole boho trend, despite absolutely adoring the style so when challenged with styling this blue tie dye number from MinkPink I was a little at a loss.  I just don't own enough fringing or pretty kimonos to go boho so I went a little sporty with a tee underneath and a pair of my mums trainers and am pretty happy with how the look turned out.  Not too much of a signature look of mine but definitely one of the more wearable ones, and a blog is about personal style - as much as I'd like to be I'm not always dressed to the nines!
