SIMPLICITY IS NEXT TO GODLINESS ... WHITE AND GOLD

Trousers - Charity Shop and Reworked / Top - Charity Shop / Necklace - My Own

A pair of white trousers in my opinion should be a staple in any girls wardrobe, just like a LBD or a pair of smashing black boots (but i know we all have those anyway) I picked these tailored pants up from a charity shop in a size 16 and just hand stitched them in at the front to create this pleated look... would you have ever known!? There's a better photo of me in them below from Manchester Vogue Fashion Night Out. Yet again, the top is also from a charity shop. Silver, Gold and Holographic seem to be a key trend this season that not many people are aware of, and when i saw this top and noticed it was paisley print too.. well i had to get it for £3.. who wouldn't. My choker is genuinely a pair of tights cut up and rolled in to a strange with a vintage pendant on it! Shabbang. 
I have had a weekend at home this week with the family, as i was a very lucky girl and got put off work! Never happens by the way! My paps treated me to a beautiful new leather bag which will be featured soon and i also picked myself up some amazing silver heels from Topshop. I've been shopper happy.. too much!

PAISLEY BOHEMIAN DREAM DRESS

Posted on 08/09/2013


Dress - Chairty Shop / Boots - Topshop / Cuff - Carboot / Necklace - Homemade

Yet again the cat sneaked in to the living room and managed to photo bomb at least one photo... the others he was kinda looking at me like 'what the hell is she doing...' 

This is my favourite most recent charity shop purchase, it's quite mahoosive but its a dream to wear!! The paisley print in pink and purple is perfect for summer going in to a/w too. Paired it with some grungey lil boots from topshop, quite a casual look i think for the day. Last night i rolled the dress up and tied it at one side asymmetrically with a bobble and wore it with my ripped up old black skinnies... it works! I picked up this great cuff from a carboot last week too, engraved with aztec navajo patterns on it, it goes perf with my homemade choker, yet again made from my boyfriends inherited pendants. The colours tie in with the dress too i think! 

Its getting a bit chilly now isn't it guys, so i think i'd have to put a little shawl on with this or an over sized blazer to keep me from dying a cold (i'm always cold, even when the heating is on). Honestly, i wore my big black fur French Connection coat, because its like wearing a big hug :)
