Braid.

Hello strangers!

How the blinking hell are you doing?

It's been quite sometime hasn't it?! And for that I duly apologise.

Sometimes life just gets slightly hectic and it can be quite hard to juggle every aspect of it with ease.

*sigh*

Whilst i've been AWOL, i've come to love the side-braid. Once mastered it's easy to do and you look like you've made quite an effort.. Woohoo! 

Of course, my trusty old top knot (also known as the fun bun) will grace my head on a daily basis, but it's always nice to have a bit of change.

Right?

Stripes and Bell Sleeves.

Top: H&M.  Midi Swing Skirt: Topshop (Similar).  Boots: Zara.

You may have seen this little striped peplum number is this recent post, and i'm sure I don't have to tell you how it goes, but I will anyways - I'm nice like that:

Girl sees item of clothing online, girl exercises constraint, girl dreams about item of clothing, girl realises she doesn't need that particular item of clothing, girl buys item of clothing.

Mustard.

Tunic - ASOS

Shopper Bag - Topshop

Blazer - Monki

Triangle Face Watch - MissSelfridge

Flat Sandal - Zara

Shirt Dress - Boohoo

Leather Belt - Next

Textured Shorts - H&M

Oversized Tee - Zara

Straw Trilby - Marks and Spencers

Loose Trousers - Mango

Suede Trainers - New Balance via ASOS

So, i'm slightly obsessed with the colour mustard. By obsessed, I mean totally mesmerised. Just look at it!

Yellow in general can be a troublesome colour to pull off, but the warm tone of mustard is incredibly versatile. It compliments so many other colours and I personally think it is quite flattering on pretty much everyone.

I can pretty much guarantee that I will be wearing this colour, not only through Spring, but most likely Summer, Autumn and Winter (then repeat).

Coachella.

H&M - Striped Oversized Blouse

New Look - High Waisted Petite Jeans

Red or Dead - Mustard Yellow Sandals (old) Similar and Similar

Now, i'm sure everyone has seen the recent street style posts from Coachella. Which means festival season is officially upon us!

I would've adored to go Coachella, and if I did, this is the type of outfit that I would've gone for. 

All I would need to do, is throw on a pair of sunnies and i'd be good to dance the night away.

What festivals have you got lined up for this summer, lovelies?

This week, was pay day week, but also bank holiday weekend to boot, and if you're like me, then you don't need an excuse to shop. However, any new purchases made.. "Well, I need something new for the bank holiday, and Easter, and just in general!".  

I have been lusting after various items from the H&M Trend section and it is about time I give a few of them a happy home with me. I can just feel the various ootd's coming together in my mind and it's beautiful, so very beautiful.

What have you been lusting after?

Camel & Snake.

Camel coat: Vintage.  Jumper: eBay.  Jeans: New Look Petite.  Boots: Irregular Choice.

'Well now then marry bum, I see your face and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun'. I clearly don't look like a happy chappy in these photos, but I'm still new to the posing game, so please bare with me.

My love for all things camel will never die. Whenever i'm in a shop (technically my second home), I seem to immediately gravitate towards this colour. This lovely coat was an absolute steal for £6.. Bargain!

I have also been lusting after various snake print boots such as these, these and of course these. But then I remembered these gorgeous snake print boots hiding at the back of my wardrobe.. Sorted!

Black & Yellow.

Jumper - eBay.  Pencil Skirt - Vintage.  Trainers - Adidas.

Is that a bare leg you see.. Yes, yes it is. 

I have never loved trainers so much since my converse days, circa 2007. Who would've thought that they could be paired with so many different outfits: 

-Dresses,

-Jeans,

-Suits,

-Skirts..

They go with everything!

Wishlist for spring #1

Mesh insert vert - ASOS

Striped shopper bag - M&S

Monochrome Loafers - Missguided

High waisted camel trousers - Topshop

Double chain pendant - Zara

Fear not, you are not alone.. I have already virtually spent my future wages on summer picks!

These are my fashion rules for summer:

-Camel is here to stay,

-Black is classic,

-Nautical never fails.

But of course, rules were meant to be broken..

Florals for spring.. Groundbreaking!

Coat: H&M.  Dress: H&M.  Boots: New Look.  Bag: Topshop.

Chihuahua called Ralph Oakley Emerson James.

What is that big glowing orb in the sky? 

It's been so long that I kinda forgot what the sun looked like. 

Although my heart skips a beat knowing that warmer weather is on it's way. I know that I shall miss my chunky knit scarves and multiple layers. 

I picked up this delightful floral number from the H&M sale and I thought it was the perfect floral dress for all seasons. 

I'm not the biggest fan of overly fussy floral numbers, but sometimes a dress just speaks to you. Know what I mean?
