Bank…

Monochrome Checked Shirt: Primark
Oversized Fedora Hat: ASOS
White Feather Fluffy Crop Jumper: Primark
Burgundy Biker Skirt*: BANK
Rings: H&M

If there is one thing I am loving this season, monochrome & fluffy jumpers aside, it’s the asymmetric/biker/pu/vinyl skirts that are EVERYWHERE! & this beaut from BANK doesn’t disappoint. As usual, as it is not black (I’m obsessed with black) I was a little apprehensive of the colour, thinking it might clash with my hair & all that jazz, but I think it goes quite well & I can’t wait to wear this baby through the Autumn! It comes in couple of different colours (you can check them out here>link) ps, the burgundy one I am wearing is in the sale now too! ;) Also, if you haven’t checked out the BANK site already, you really should, they stock some awesome brands & have some proper little gem pieces, definitely worth a look!

Chopper…

Blue Floral Crown*: Crown & Glory
Pink Fluffy Feather Cropped Jumper: Primark
White Shirt: Topshop
Monochrome Tartan Trousers: Topshop
Jelly Sandals: New Look via ASOS
Awesome black bobbles on my wrist… Primark ;)

Oh hello amazing floral crown! The ones I made are really nothing compared to this baby! Crown & Glory kindly sent this beauty to me after I was searching the internet for some blue flowers to make my own (nobody sells blue freaking flowers! >.<) & I am so impressed with the quality! You can tell that so much love & attention has gone into making this crown, like I was expecting it to be fab quality but I really was blown away when I saw it in real life for the first time, it came with it’s very own Crown & Glory dust bag too so when it’s not taking pride of place on my head or on my goat skull in my room, it is packed nicely away in it’s little pouch. I feel like it’s too pretty for me to wear on my head, I hope I have done it justice! Thank you so much Sophie! If you haven’t checked out Crown & Glory’s site, you really should & you can here>>link.

When I picked this jumper up in Primark, I thought that the pink might clash a little too hard with my hair & although I don’t think the world is quite ready for the pink/orange clash, cue funny looks/laughs in the street, I really freaking like it! It’s not often I wear colour, but when I do, I kind of go all out, hence my UNIF rainbow jumper ;)

Anyway, aside from being obsessed with my new Primark crops (yes I bought all 4 colours, I couldn’t resist/I have absolutely NO self control in Primark) I am also becoming a little fond of monochrome tartan/checks & these Topshop trousers are right up my ally!  usually try & keep the bottom half of my body pretty plain as my legs are so bloody short & stumpy & I really don’t like drawing any sort of attention to my hips, but I made an exception for these trousers& I am so glad I did!

Stargazer Green Glitter Nails…

Green Glitter*: Stargazer
Rimmel High Shine Top Coat

The awesome people at Stargazer kindly sent me a wee care package the other week of some of their newest stock & aside from the eyeliner pen (which is awesome) this green glitter pot stood out to me the most. One because it is sparkly, everyone loves a bit of glitter non? & two, the colour, I love the colour green so much, black aside, it’s probably my favourite.

The obvious thing to do with a glitter pot is probably to use it as eye shadow, which would be fab but I really wanted to be able to get more every day wear out of it so, as you can see, nails quickly sprung to mind.

It’s kind of self explanatory how I did it but basically & coated my nails with clear polish, dunked my fingers into the glitter pot, let the polish dry a little, wiped off the excess glitter from my nails & fingers then added another couple our clear top coats to keep the glitter in place & looking mighty shiny!

Now I know what you are thinking, it’s all well & good that it looks pretty on your nails Hev, but was it a bitch to get off?!?! NO! :) Because of the clear coat that I used, it’s kind of gel like, the glitter was SUPER easy to get off my nails, you know no dunking them in goodness knows how much nail varnish remover & going through a packet of cotton wool pads, no, no, this baby just peeled right off when I wanted it to, leaving no sign of any glitter, hurrah! :)

What do you think? Have you ever tried using glitter as nail varnish?
