So this outfit is what I would have worn to London Fashion Week if I'd have been able to get to London on the Monday!  Unfortunately there was a bit of a mix up and I didn't have my car but to be honest, I really couldn't be bothered to trawl round London for another day - the friday was exhausting!  Obviously I would have chucked on a leather jacket but I thought that would just show you the raw outfit as I love it!  The Motel playsuit is a gorgeous print but I thought it was a little too busy, so the pastel jumper breaks it up perfectly, as well as adds a touch of colour and of course, warmth!  I made the mistake of stuffing a clutch completely full on the Friday, kind of defeating the whole point of a clutch bag so I switched it for my new Marc b shoulder bag which is literally the perfect size for me - it fits all the essentials and keeps my crazy bag lady self at bay - because if I bring a huge bag I literally fill it, I mean you always need a can of pringles for a day out in London...right?

So it appears I'm desperately trying to churn out my summery looks before I embrace autumn!  I've always thought of myself as less of a summer person, but being able to wear bare legs and no layers is just so good!  This tropical tee was a hard one to style but I thought it went alright with my Zara-esque skort which fits like a dream - took me long enough to jump on the bandwagon!  I've also really got into the minimal heel look, although I just can't walk in the stilletto styles, so these with the chunky silver heel are a welcome new addition to my wardrobe!

VIDEO // July Haul - Motel Rocks, Drop Dead, Grafea etc

Wow guys I'm actually staying true to my goal of one video per week!  It's a haul..and it's a big one!  I tried to narrow down the length but I have so many items that 20 minutes is the shortest time I could get.  All the information for the items is included on the YouTube page and this took me 5 hours to upload, so I hope it's worth it and you guys enjoy it!  Leave any video suggestions in the comments either on here or on the video - I love knowing what you guys would like me to try (:

LET THEM STARE

Dress* // Let Them Stare
Shoes // Carvela (mums)

Clutch* // Marc b
Necklace // Etsy (one off)
Bracelet // Thomas Sabo
Rings // Market, Mums, market, Thriftette*, Rachael Sudlow
Nail polish* // Northern Sky Nails

This is definitely one of the most flattering dresses I've worn in a while - I think the cut is so lovely and gives the illusion of a smaller waist where the pattern on the fabric slants..if you get what I mean.  What makes it even more amazing is that it was totally handmade by the lovely Anastasia, and she is mega talented because there is not one flaw in the design - I could never make a dress of this quality even if I tried!  I love the sheer back, and I find it's better for my body shape, as it's a well known fact that if you're 'breastically challenged' you can make up for it by showing off your back!  Moving on - I think these accessories were literally made for this dress - the dull nude shoes go perfectly with the hints of brown in the dress, and the Marc b bag matches almost spot on with the blue, it's also a lovely summer colour and can be used as a clutch or a purse!  For the purpose of these photos I actually stuffed it with some fluffy socks - little 'behind the scenes' fact for you there haha.  Hope you like the outfit!

Boohoo #GlobalStyler // Reading!

Tee // Brand New merch
Necklaces // Tiffany, Regal Rose
Skirt* // BooHoo
Bag* // Marc B
Earrings* // Harts + Crosses
Coat* // Mary Jane Fashion
Tights // Primark
Spiked Coltranes // Jeffrey Campbell
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, market stalls, Native Feathers*

I was contacted in January by the lovely Rosie (who has an awesome blog, by the way!) and was asked to be a part of the Boohoo #GlobalStyler campaign, to which I obviously said HELLZ YEAH! ..Anyway, I scoured the website and eventually chose the item I wanted to represent, and it is this gorgeous burgundy cord skater skirt, an excellent dupe of the (seriously overpriced) American Apparel circle skirts.  It fastens with a zip and popper at the side which I love and fits like a glove, as well as being really good quality, and for £18 where can you go wrong?  I teamed it with my favourite Brand New tee which I cut up a while ago, thinking I'd ruined it but actually I really like how it turned out, and my houndstooth coat from Mary Jane fashion which is right on trend for the monochrome styles due to be big this spring!  I'm keeping my eye out for a black fur stole as I think it would go really well with it to change it up.  I've not seen anyone elses #GlobalStyler look yet but I'm keeping an eye out, can't wait to see what items they chose to style up!

What's in my bag?

Bag* // Marc B

I can't consider myself a true blogger until I create a 'what's in my bag' post for you guys and I recently received this gorgeous Marc B bag and thought it would be a perfect time to do it!  I've included some of my essentials, and emptied out the unsightly things that are usually in there, ie. old receipts and wrappers!

Bag // I can't handle bags that have the small handles as they're just too awkward to hold so I stick to rucksacks and shoulder bags, so this fits the bill perfectly, and also has a ton of inside pockets so I don't lose important things (like my phone) in the depths of the general bag-ness

Butterscotch sweets // Similar to Werthers originals, I was given this free sample of sweeties at the clothes show live and they're so delicious, so had to include them!

Antibac hand gel // Especially if I'm going to London I can't leave this behind, I'm a bit of a germ freak when it comes to the London Underground!

Purse // I received this lovely LV purse for christmas from my mum, replacing my old one which has really gone past its prime!  My old one was pretty dark so it's nice to have a change with a bright red, and it's a lot easier to find in a bag!

Phone // Obviously I freak out if I don't have my phone, how will I instagram what I ate for lunch?! (sarcasm..).  I got this Drop Dead case for christmas last year and it's still going strong!

Gum // For smelly breath situations, obv

Lomo camera // It's nice to take my Diana mini out for the day sometimes, it's just a shame the film is so expensive and the development process is so long!

Solar Oil // It's always good to keep cuticle's healthy, especially when winter is so drying to the skin

Rings // There's always some rings floating around in my bag, I take them off and forget about them!

Lipstick // I'll usually take whatever lipstick I'm wearing on the day, in this instance I have the Dali lipstick I reviewed not so long ago!

Dry Shampoo // For that rogue third day hair

Lipgloss // Got this Models Own lipgloss in a bundle at the clothes show live, always useful for a bit of brightness

Vaseline // Okay I think it's clear that I carry around too much lip product!  This pink tinted vaseline adds a touch of colour to your lips and will help you through the winter!

Moleskine // I've had this moleskine for a good long while now, and it's so nice going back and looking through it, I'll share some more pages soon, as I have created a lot more in it since my last update.
