BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY


Flower crown // Festival
Bohemian Rhapsody dress* // MinkPink via Out & About
Sandals* // Choies
Earrings // Market
Necklaces // Etsy, Accessorize, Accessorize, DIY
Bracelets // Your Fashion Jewellery*, market
Rings // Market, Brandy Melville, Primark, market, Primark

It took me a while so get round to actually writing the text to go with this post due to the fact I was jamming out to Queen full blast in my room (don't act like you don't do it).  I received this MinkPink dress last month and it's so lovely, I thought it would be a bit of a pink overload but I like how the photos turned out, although it is a shame that for some reason I think I'm a lot bigger than I am and order larger dress sizes, resulting in this dress being too long for me - and that's impressive considering how tall I am (5' 10" if you're wondering).  I thought I might as well go for the boho look so piled on the jewellery and donned a floral crown, I just wish I had some brown heeled sandals, as black doesn't quite go but when I wore brown flats I looked so short!  Ah well, off I go to dance to some more Queen, hope all you english types are making the most of mr sun!

Ps. Want to win an awesome friday night out in London? Just vote for Ryan Harris in the ghd competition HERE (3rd photo).  I was his hair model last year and he has serious talent so really deserves to win, it only takes a couple of clicks, go go go!

JUNE HAUL // Boohoo, Missguided, Thriftette, Choies


I didn't do a May haul for some reason despite the fact I did one in April, so I thought I'd return with a video for June!  I'd really appreciate it if you could like the video and subscribe to me, and let me know what you think of the items!

THE PAST WILL FIND YOU


Sunglasses // Giant Vintage
Top // Random shop in Manchester
Shorts* // SheInside
Sandals // Market
Earrings // New Look
Necklace* // AOKO NY
Bracelet* // Delilah Dust
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, market, Primark, Tiffany, IRIDESCENT

I think this is as close to 'sports luxe' as I'll get!  I love the style and follow a ton of bloggers that do it perfectly, however I appear to be kind of incapable, and I'm not really a trainers person - which is one of the main elements in the whole sporty thing.  Anyway, I don't usually like elasticated shorts but these are so comfy and perfect for a casual summer day when denim shorts are a little too much, and the print on them is so rad!  It's a kind of grungy, textured tie dye effect so thought they'd go great with a top I picked up when I went to Manchester for a couple of days earlier this year.  Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what the shop I got it from was called as it was just a random discount shop, but there are loads of them around.  I'm a huge UNIF fan and some of their popular designs feature skeleton hands, so this was the perfect addition to my wardrobe, especially at just £5!

PLAY CRACK THE SKY

Hat // Topshop
Jacket* // Boohoo
Tee* // P&Co
Shorts // DIY
Shoes // Deena & Ozzy
Earring // Etsy
Bracelet // Thomas Sabo
Necklace // Tiffany
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, Thriftette*, Native Feathers*, Lumafina, market, market

Okay so I may or may not be totally obsessed with this pork pie hat.  I actually bought it for my friend for her birthday but borrowed it and now do not want to ever give it back (sorry Polly).  I went for a 'wild west' look, however replacing a cowboy hat with a more..socially acceptable shape and disregarding dusty browns for mostly monochrome then to finish; a slick of red lipstick.  I adore the minimalistic print on this P&Co tee and find it so easy to wear with anything - and after seeing Leanne style this fringe jacket makes me want to wear mine with every outfit.  Apologies if this post doesn't make a lot of sense - I'm trying to type while watching my boyfriend play 'The Last Of Us' and it's such a scary game!

EMPTY HEARTS & EMPTY PLACES

Fishnet top // Casall
Bandeau (underneath) // eBay
Dungarees* // Drop Dead
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Necklace // Tiffany
Earrings* // Paccony
Bracelet* // Native Feathers
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, Henryka*, market, market, Etsy, vintage

Apologies for making so many of my titles BMTH lyrics, but I thought it would be very appropriate for this look, as this outfit features a piece from the brand new Drop Dead summer 2013 line!  It was hard to choose my favourite item from the line - but I eventually chose these as I thought they were a nice contrast from the ditsy pinafores going round at the moment.  I love the pentagrams embroidered all over and the material is really soft & stretchy, not to mention the amazing fit! I got a size S if anyone wants to know - I've had a couple of people ask for reference, and I often find it helpful to know how the sizing is with different pieces/brands.  I did wear a blue tie dye tee with the dungarees on my instagram which I liked a lot but I thought I'd go for a simple silhouette and don my fishnet top, which, fun fact; is a gym top from my mums wardrobe..yep.  Anyway I hope you guys all like the outfit, I know it's one of my favourites!  What are your thoughts on the new summer line?
