The cold wind blows right through my bones

Swallow print dress*: Traffic People
Eiffel tower belt: ASOS
Tights: Primark
Peep toe wedge boots*: OASAP

So this is a bit different to what I would probably normally wear but when Traffic People got in touch with me to see if I’d like to feature one of their A/W pieces on here I couldn’t resist this dress. I instantly fell in love with the swallow print & the turtle neck. I don’t think the length is the most flattering on me, oh how I wish my legs were longer sometimes, but I think it’s a great A/W piece that I will be trying my hardest to rock while the weather is turning colder. Come the warmer months though, I might have to do a DIY jobby & shorten it as I think I will maybe get more wear out of it like that. But for now, I am going to try & stick with the midi length! :) What do you think of longer dresses/skirts?
The boots are also a new edition to my wardrobe. Not the most Winter appropriate as they are peep toe, but they are amazing none the less, & so, so comfy! They come in a few different colours too! Check them out here>link

I cannot even begin to tell you how long I have lusted over this skirt. Ever since it came out in the Versace H&M collection last year I have wanted it so badly but unfortunately, at the time, I just didn’t have the pennies to spend on said skirt & obviously it went out of stock pretty fast. I thought I’d lost my chance to ever own it without paying the zillions of £££ people expect you to pay on ebay. That is until Victoria featured this beauty in one of her famous designer ebay posts a good few months ago. I immediately added it to my watch list (as I wasn’t best pleased about having to pay £9 postage just because I’m in Spain & I hate paying for postage >.<) to mull it over & it sat there for ages before I finally decided to bite the bullet & just buy it as it was the only one left in stock & it was my size! I guess it was a kind of celebratory gift to myself after selling my first few sets of effienails (any excuse ;)) Sorry, I seem to have told you my whole palm print skirt life story there >.<

As I said before, the skirt is sold out in the palm print at the ebay store I bought it from but they do have a leopard print version for sale instead here>link & SheInside have the same palm skirt here>link :)

I haven’t mentioned this on here yet but did you see me in look magazine this week? I was so excited when they got in touch to say they wanted to use my photo for their festival themed ‘look what I’m wearing’ feature! :) Anyways, we're off surfing tomorrow & only get back on Saturday so I might be a little quiet on the blogging front for most of this week, I will try my best to take some photos & shizzle to post at the weekend though :) Hope you all have a great week, don’t miss me too much eigh? ;)

Baroque…

I have been lusting after the Motel Jordan Baroque jeans ever since I first saw them while I was doing one of my usual internet shopping browsing sessions a few weeks ago, they really are so lovely but I just don’t have that kind of money to spend on a pair of jeans that are so bold. (wah) I decided to see what ebay had to offer & came across an abundance of baroque print garments including these leggings! They were less than a tenner & they come in all sorts of colours, pink & blue being the main, I am so tempted to grab myself a pair of orange ones too, for summer, I think they are fab! They are a little jazzier than anything I would usually go for but there is just something about this so called Baroque print that really draws me in. What do you think? Too jazzy? O.O Ahaha
