As promised, here is look number one from my Urban Outfitters haul & lookbook video that I posted last week!  I'm very new to the whole wearing jeans thing, so as you can imagine, wearing mom jeans was a little out of my comfort zone - but I saw these on the UO website and they looked amazing on the model, so I just had to have them!  I'm very torn as to whether to keep them or not as I'm not sure if they suit me, so please leave your honest opinions below!

I really think that everyone in the world should be given and made to wear a pair of rose-tinted glasses, everything just looks so much prettier through them and the world would definitely be a happier place!  I thought this outfit would be great for the weather we're having in England at the moment because it's nice and summery but it can get a bit cold at times so tights are a nice balance, then in the shade you can throw on a little cardi.  I'm wearing my new favourite bag from Zatchels which I've used every day since I received it.  I thought it would be a little OTT for everyday wear, but I wear a lot of simple colours so it's a perfect fun accent to any combination!
PS. What do you think of my new outfit post layout?  Shall I crop to have two images next to each other or keep to square?

I feel like Cher Horowitz in this tartan twosie, so of course I had to go all out nineties inspired, so whipped out the holographic choker & bag and plaited my hair.  I tried the double buns but I ended up looking like a weird alien, and not in the cool alternative way.  I also customised this jacket completely by hand (you can tell by the terrible sewing!) at the New Look event - and one of you lucky readers could win this very piece courtesy of New Look just by reading on!

THE RECKLESS & THE BRAVE

Dress* // BANK
Earrings // Topshop
Hand chain* // BANK
Necklace // Etsy (one off listing)
Bag* // Paul's Boutique
Sandals // River Island (old)

Apparently every time I do an outfit post I'm feeling quite summery.  I'm cutting down on the heels and busting out all the sandals I've forgotten about!  I know what you're thinking - Paul's Boutique..really?  Honestly I used to be the most anti-PB person you could find, so you can imagine what was running through my head when I received an email from them.  However; they've scrapped their old image and have brought out a whole new range of bags with a much more luxe and fashion-forward image, while still keeping the fun personality of the old designs, such as the removable keyring on this one which I think is actually pretty awesome, and would look cute dangling off a neutral clutch for a night out!  The holographic stripe is so unique and love how the colours of the dress pick out the different tones.  Because of the size it also means I can fit my laptop in it which, as a blogger, is so useful.
Anyway I've babbled on for far too long!  I hope you all like the outfit!  Going off on another tangent, the lovely Christina who runs a decoden phone case shop on Etsy called 'God it Feels So Good' has recently made me a custom iphone case and posted a video of herself making it which you can see here.  I just love it so much and can't wait to receive it, as I've wanted a decoden case for so long but haven't been able to justify paying nearly £30 which is what the majority of sellers charge.  However, Christina only charges a humble £10 for most cases, and is always adding new designs so check out her shop here!
