OOTD: Not Your Average








Top: Zara
Maxi skirt: M&S
Necklace: eBay
Bracelet: River Island
Shoes: Reebok Classics
Lips: Ruby Woo by MAC

Welcome back,

I decided to opt for black and white once again. I love the classic combination of these two colours and the pop of red on the lips seems to be becoming my signature style, haha. At the moment I am also loving layering necklaces and wearing lots of earrings and jewellery in general. A girl can never have too much jewellery!

Got some fresh new creps, too! I really wanted a pair of white trainers that were NOT Nike Air Forces because everybody and their mother - and cat - own them. Pairing them with a maxi skirt is a very urban twist on femininity but I love mixing the two styles and it creates much more interesting dynamics.

OOTD: Summertime Sadness








Dress: H&M
Bag: Primark
Shoes: eBay
Choker: eBay
Pendant necklace: eBay
Chain: Pia
Lips: Black Cherry by NYX

Hello,

Honestly, I think England has decided to mimic India for the summer. It's hot, humid and monsoons are in abundance. The thunderstorms are scaring the living daylights of everybody. And yes, I did decide to wear a white dress today because #YOLO. Ok, I wasn't thinking that when I was teetering down a country lane in what seemed to be some sort of heavenly flood, but whatever.

I love this look. It's simple, crisp, clean and a touch gothic. I really dislike having an 100% girly outfit - there needs to be some sort of balance between the good and the bad (and the ugly) (just kidding)

But seriously, I think I managed to get away with this look for the summer because the white dress and curly hair give off a carefree vibe, which is what summer is all about I suppose. I hope you guys are enjoying July!

OOTD: Lovebox (19th of July 2014)







Dungarees: Lee (vintage from Rokit)
Bandeau: New Look
Headband: Camden Flowers
Pouch: Lifeventure
Socks: Primark
Shoes: Converse
Bracelets: Primark
Lips: Topshop Lip Bullet in Inhibition

Hi guys,

This was supposed to be posted much earlier but unfortunately I have been kicked out of my house (don't panic! We're renovating the bottom floor) but yes, the builders are calling all the shots. Anyway, the point of this ramble is that I don't have a computer with internet.

Lovebox was amazing; saw the likes of Bondax, Nas and M.I.A, got a little bit drunk and had a great time checking out all the festival attire. The sun was beaming down onto Victoria Park so naturally everybody had a field day when it came to clothing. These dungarees I picked up for less than £20 and I am so pleased because I haven't found a piece of clothing that I love or would want to wear more. They're so comfy and versatile - pick up a pair and your life will be changed! Pairing this with a simple bandeau, comfy Converse, a flowery headband and a darker lipstick, I felt pretty much ready for the weekend. 

How's the weather where you live?

OOTD: Oxford Street






Top: Primark (Men's)
Leggings: Primark
Shirt: Beyond Retro
Shoes: New Look
Earrings: New Look
Sunglasses: eBay
Clutch: Boohoo.com
Lip colour: Topshop Lip Bullet in Inhibition

Hello guys,

Wow, the weather has suddenly taken a turn for the better! Which begs the question: why on earth did I wear pleather leggings on the hottest day of the year so far? Answer: dunno.

I'm loving the whole shirt-tied-around-waist look. There's something very effortless about it. It's says 'look at me, I'm too cool to wear the shirt so I'm bringing back a school-too-hot-summer-day...thing.'

Topshop's Lip Bullets are fantastic; I got lots of random compliments today as I walked down Oxford Street. Somebody even thought I was wearing a MAC lipstick. Ha. They slide on so creamily and they dry so that the colour doesn't budge, even if you eat and drink.

Bonjour,

I think an OOTD has been overdue! I'm rather disappointed in the weather here; obviously the sun was shining indefinitely in Crete, and it's true to say that I'm missing the sunbathing and parading around in my bikini! However, today wasn't so bad (after a quick heavy shower.) Weeks have gone by and my wardrobe has become more and more monotone. I don't particularly like it but there's something so classy about black *drools*

ANYway, I've had so many compliments on this top, which I didn't think was anything special, but apparently so! Boohoo is certainly one of my favourite websites to use for online shopping; it's not too expensive, it has some lovely pieces and the delivery is incredibly quick.

More colour should hopefully be coming your way soon...
