WHEN DID THE DIAMONDS LEAVE YOUR BONES


Dress* // Oh My Love
Necklace* // Delilah Dust
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Cuff* // Native Feathers
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, markets, Native Feathers*, eBay & Etsy

This dress from Oh My Love has definitely got to be my favourite dress at the moment.  I've never seen anything like it, with the quirky cut-outs and wave-textured material, it kind of reminds me of an oil slick.  The name of the dress is 'Rita' and if they mean Rita Ora, then they've managed to transform her awesomeness into a dress perfectly!  I accessorised with simple jewellery (less is more dah-link) and think this fishbone necklace from Delilah Dust goes so nicely, it'll definitely be a necklace I get a lot of wear out of, and I think it's so unique too.  I also think the cut-outs of the dress looks kind of like a skull, with my studded belt being the teeth, then the cut-outs being eyes and nose..anyone else see it? Just me?

This is also the debut of my new block fringe on my blog!  I got it cut in for a photoshoot and although it's a lot shorter than I would like it's growing on me (literally..haha!) but I'm going to grow it out into a side fringe like I used to have as I feel it makes me look a lot younger, which I don't really like!

HAUL // Native Feathers Jewellery

   
All items c/o Native Feathers
Cross upper arm cuff // £6 // link (similar)
Eagle claw ring // £6 // link
Turquoise ring // £4 // link (similar)
Eagle claw cuff // £5 // link

Not so long ago I received a bundle of beautiful jewellery from Native Feathers, and I adore everything!  I've wanted a claw bangle for so long and this Eagle claw is perfect, and is hinged so sits comfortably on your arm, unlike other bangles which usually just slip off my little wrists!  Next is the upper arm cuff.  I've always had a love for upper arm bracelets, owning a vintage snake one (featured here) but it's very simple, so you can imagine how happy I was when this one arrived!  I actually wore it to a party not so long ago with a capped sleeve dress, so the band was hidden with the crosses dangling down and I received so many compliments on it!  I just think there are so many ways to wear them and adds a tribal essence to your outfit, which in my opinion is always welcome!  Lastly, I got another eagle claw piece, the ring form in silver, and a simple turquoise ring.  I don't actually own a turquoise ring yet and I've been wanting one for ages so this was a brilliant addition to my (very large!) ring collection, and the eagle claw ring is a simple statement piece, great to be worn on its own for an impact, or (in my case) layered up for awesomeness!

SHAKE YA TAIL FEATHER


Sheer Stripe Top // New Look
Earrings* // Harts + Crosses
Leggings* // LovelySally
Necklace // Tiffany
Spike Coltranes // Jeffrey Campbell
Rings // Harts + Crosses*, markets
Lipstick // Mac Morange

So I've kind of longed out posting an outfit featuring these leggings, sorry!  I am such a huge fan of LovelySally, like I could literally ramble on about how awesome they are for a very long time (but I'll spare you from that).  The quality of the leggings is consistent between different lines and seasons and the prints are so detailed, as well as being cheaper than Black Milk (without the threat of expensive delivery and customs charges) so I would definitely recommend checking the website out here.  Anyway, I teamed the leggings with my new Jeffrey Campbell spiked coltranes which I'm totally head over heels for, despite them costing me a small fortune and them not being quite 'all that' as I'd expected, but I'll explain this in a video real soon.  For now though, how do you like the look?  Do you own an item from LovelySally?

HAUL // AOKO NY Jewellery

Snake ear cuff // link
Spike necklace // link
Kitty ring // link

So not so long ago I received a couple of items from AOKO NY, a brand new online store selling a variety of jewellery, accessories and a couple items of clothing!  The shop is super pretty and looks so professional considering it's only just been started up.  I received the snake cuff and spike necklace above but my favourite item has got to be the adorable kitty ring, I haven't been able to take it off hardly!  What is your favourite item of AOKO NY jewellery?

PASSIVE ME, AGGRESSIVE YOU






Dress* // Chi Chi
Tweed blazer // Vintage
Bow tights // Primark
Heel-less shoes // eBay
Bracelet // Boyfriend
Infinity ring // Rachel Sudlow
Lipstick // Drop Dead Red by Too Faced

I did have a bit of trouble styling this dress, not gonna lie.  I'm not really used to wearing dresses that much, let alone fancy prom dresses! I think it works with the blazer because it adds a casual touch rather than being totally posh, and more of a retro feel, which obviously contrasts with my pink hair, haha!

ALL COLOURS AND CARES GLAZE TO GREY


Cross blouse* // OASAP [link]
Peacock shorts // Zara
Spike boots* // Tribeca Shoes [link]
Necklace // River Island
Earrings // ASOS
Rings // IRIDESCENT, n/a, OASAP*
Lipstick // Drop Dead Red by Too Faced

It's taken me a little while to get round to posting this outfit but don't you just love my new OASAP blouse?!  I tried styling it up all gothy because I found this lipstick in my mums drawer and absolutely love it, it's like a dark berry and I didn't think it would suit me but I received quite a few compliments on it when I wore it to college so I think I'll wear it more often.  I am also wearing my spiked boots from Tribeca Shoes because they're so god damn incredible I would totally wear them errday if I didn't walk like Bambi in them.  Le sigh.  The title of the post is lyrics from an Alt-J song, despite not being sure of them at first I have actually fallen in love with them and although these lyrics are from a song called Taro my favourite song is called Fitzpleasure which I would totally recommend, listen here!
