You call me Lavender, You call me Sunshine…

Palm print shirt: Motel
Denim zip skirt: Motel
Pleather jacket: Daisy Street (ps there is 30% off everything at the mo ;) )
Bitch face: all mine babaaay!

Gosh, I have a bit of chronic bitch face going on today don’t I? I’m not miserable, promise, I do however feel like I have swallowed a kitchen knife & a handful of rusty nails so that would probably explain my not so impressed looking face…

I have been wanting an alternative to my Levi 501’s for a while now as everybody & their Mum wears them, especially around this time of year *‘like, OMG, it’s totes festival season guys, like, I totally, like am soooo indie & into bands, like where are my denim shorts & crop tops, I need to like dress like, totes boho chic with my expensivo wellies, yah yah…’’* UGH >.< plz stop… anyway back to the skirt, it has replaced my denim shorts & I’m loving it. You can’t beat a bit of asymmetric & exposed zip. Motel, you have NAILED IT once again!

As for the shirt, well, I think the shirt speaks for itself, don’t you  think?!

Oh yeah & I’m guessing you all have bloglovin’ now as GFC is supposedly dying tomorrow (RIP) Soooo as my blog is actually works on there now (after months & months of trying tot sort the damn thing out >.<) you can follow me on bloglovin’ here>link

Barry M Confetti Effect Polishes…

From left to right: Bugglegum, Liquorice, Dolly Mixture, Marshmallow, Sour Apple

I took a little trip to Boots yesterday to pick up a new lipstick (‘fig leaf’ from Natural Collection, which is awesome by the way!) & ended up encountering these beauties! Now, I’m sure you all know that these are Barry M’s answer to the Nails Inc ‘feather’ polishes & I have seen the Nails Inc ones & can say that these are just as good, if not better & so much cheaper! As you can see I was very indecisive & ended up buying all the colours but it was buy one get one half price at Boots so I couldn’t really say no, could I?

I think ‘liquorice’ is my favourite, but that’s no big shock from me as I love a good ol’ black nail varnish! However I am currently wearing Sour Apple & I am loving it!

I am really happy with the coverage of all the colours (the picture above is three thin coats as I wanted a good coverage) & I’m sure they look fab with one coat over a solid colour too! I haven’t tried removing the polishes yet but I’m sure they will be no different, hopefully easier, than removing a regular glitter varnish, but for just £3.99 a bottle, I’m sure we’ll live ;)

Have you tried Barry M Confetti polishes yet? Which is your favourite?

U (NI) Fit me better than my favourite sweater…

Rainbow Jumper: UNIF @ Glamorous
Denim Shorts: levi 501 cut offs
Rose Crown: DIY
Denim Jacket: Primark Mens
Dog: Outer Space (‘:

I cannot begin to tell you how long I have lusted over this jumper. I looked at it on Nasty Gal & Dolls Kill a million times & have been so damn close to checking out but I just couldn’t justify paying the ridic customs charges *sigh* but ‘wait a minute’ I hear you cry, if you could only find it on American sites, how the hell do you have it without paying customs?! Well my friends, Glamorous have just started stocking UNIF so yeah, they basically answered my prayers & saved me from dishing out my money to the good ol’ customs people! Weheyyyy! :)

I can now walk around looking like a packet of rainbow drops! & if you ask me, that’s pretty freaking awesome! ;) I was a little scared to wear it at first as it’s so bright & I’m not gonna lie, every time & wear it out in public I have been stared at A.LOT, people obviously aren’t ready for this much colour at once (‘: Ahh well, if Hayley Williams can pull it off, so can I, right? ;)

You may have seen me post a few of these crowns on Instagram over the weekend. Yeah, yeah, I am completely aware that I am a walking blogger cliché with these blooms on my head but ya know what, don’t knock it until you have tried it. These wee flowers make me feel super summery & they make a nice change from my usual black hats! :)  I have made a tutorial which will hopefully go live on my You Tube soon so sit tight ;) it was dead easy & cheap to make too! Seriously thinking of starting up YouTube again properly too…hmmm, we’ll see.

Hope you have all had an awesome weekend, oh & enjoy the photo of me & Jack singing (‘: Hehe he makes me chuckle (‘:

Queen Of The Gas Station…

Top: Daisy Street
Shorts: Levis (501’s)
Bag*: La Moda
Sunglasses: Quay BAT’s @ ASOS
Belt: H&M
Earrings: H&M

Holy crap guys…I’m not wearing a hat for the first time in FOREVER! Wowzers, normally hats are a bit of a novelty for people but nope, not for me, not wearing a hat is a pretty big change for little old moi. Anyway, aside from all the ‘samey’ photos, I am here today to show you my new Summer bag. Say hello to Rio, my new La Moda rucksack. I was a little apprehensive of the colour at first, mainly because of my hair, I thought there could have been a bit of clashing going on but hey presto, they actually go together pretty well ;)

I have a bit of a thang for rucksacks, I am still a tomboy at heart, carrying a handbag around with me still seems pretty novelty, you know like when you used to play with your Mums & pretend it was yours when you were little? Aside from my Moschino & Zara bucket bags I don’t & have never really owned a ‘proper’ handbag, I normally just use my trusty vintage leather rucksack or ASOS bum bag, as I feel like  abut of a fanny walking around with a bag on my arm, I much prefer carrying them on my shoulders :) Are any of you the same or do I just need to grow up a little agahahaa (24 going on 14) I remember the days when I used to go into town skating with friends & my trusty chord Jansport rucksack… anyway I’m rambling now. Basically what I’m trying to say is that this La Moda bag is perfect for me, I can fit everything in it I need & more, it is deffo my new day to day bag! (ps, it’s only £16! BARGAIN!) They also stock a tonne of other designs so be sure to check them out here>link.

POMPEII…

Felt Fedora Hat: Topshop
Breton Top: H&M
Black Skort: ZARA

I FINALLY FOUND IT! The infamous Zara skort! & it’s just a amazing in real life as it is on the web! Does this make me a ‘proper’ fashion blogger now, ya know, cos everyone & their dog has one?! ahahahaha (‘: It fits a little on the large side but it’s nothing I can’t live with. Other than that, this outfit is pretty ‘plain Jane’ but sometimes the least fussy outfits are the best, don’t you think?
