PHOTOS: ALEX INKIN


This picturesque background and summery outfit may give it away, but these photos were taken a couple of months ago on my mini holiday to Amsterdam!  The weather was gorgeous, although I packed all skirts/dresses and we rented bikes every day, so had a bit of trouble!  This clutch was a lifesaver because I was able to just loop it on my handlebars, it contains a portable charger, and fit everything I needed, meaning I didn't have to lug around a heavy backpack with my cameras in (I left that to Alex, heheheh).  I also got a snazzy little keyring for it from a random guy at a market stall who asked where my necklace was from, so I gave him the website and he gave me it in return - I can't remember what the name is for it but it tells you the dates/days/months etc for every day up to 2040 (for example I can find out that my birthday will be on a Sunday in 2022 - pointless but pretty cool!).  I do have a couple more outfits from 'Dam as well as a vlog so stay tuned for that!

UNPIN YOUR BUTTERFLIES // STATUS ANXIETY BAG GIVEAWAY

  


FEDORA // H&M (SIMILAR)
NECKLACE* // SHANTIQUE DESIGNS
MAXI DRESS* // MISSGUIDED
TOP* // MISSGUIDED
BELT // VINTAGE
SHORTS* // NEW LOOK
BAG* // STATUS ANXIETY
BOOTS* // ARK

I got very lucky with these photos - it had been raining all day and by the time we got round to shooting the photos it was starting to get dark, but somehow they managed to turn out well!  Shooting on top of car parks is now my favourite thing as you can do what you like and not care because there's no one around, and I just think the background looks rad!  I had so much fun swishing around in this maxi from Missguided, it's actually a dress but I prefer wearing it as a kimono to dress it down a little (and because there's a ton of buttons and I'm lazy).  

For me, this look is the perfect balance between grunge and boho, and I definitely want to go for this kind of vibe more often - since starting work in an office it's so easy to slip into lazy dressing, ie. jeans & a t-shirt every day and I don't want to get myself into a style rut!  What do you guys do to spice up everyday outfits?

Anyway, onto the giveaway!  The lovely people over at Status Anxiety have very kindly let me give away one of their gorgeous bags.  Mine is such high quality and I'm just in love with it - the leather is buttery soft, the fur is so silky and it's the perfect size - if you'd like to get your hands on one, just follow the steps below!

- Giveaway is for one Status Anxiety bag in the Maud, Molly or Norma style.
