Out for lunch

My grandparents were treating me to my lunch out today at a nice little country pub and i just couldn't resist making the most of the sunshine we have left by wearing shorts and bare legs. This look is very casual and perfect for the weather.

I am wearing my polka dot jersey shorts from Soulcal which were in the sale at USC and in trend for this summer with the likes of Zara bringing out various patterns and colours of the same short design. I have paired these shorts with a basic cropped cami from Topshop which has also been one of my summer staples as it can be paired with almost everything in my wardrobe. As there was a slight chill in the air today i put on this patterned over blouse which is a hand me down from my Nan. My delicious looking boots are from Schuh and they are bang on with the studded boot trend sweeping the fashion world and with them being black they are compatible with almost any outfit. I kept my jewellery quite minimum today with this vintage pink crystal necklace no earrings and two rings. The ring on my middle finger is from a French market and the other is from Silver.

There is my basic quite minimal but with a splash of pattern outfit for going out for lunch. I am now going to soak up the rest of today's rays outside with Stephen Kings "Pet Sematary". 

(P.s my cat couldn't resist jumping into a few of the shots)

The 90's revived

Since the heat wave and sun has now ceased a little in England i thought i would bring out my much loved vintage Levi 550's once again. I got these jeans from Ebay for a mere £17 but they were originally from Urban outfitters. I decided to combine these versatile pair of jeans with this cropped jersey tee from Topshop, seeing as this seasons must have trends have been high waisted bottoms and cropped tops.

The main focus of this casual outfit for me is the shoes, these are the Juju heeled jellies from Urban outfitters, these are also a this season must have bring back not only a sense of nostalgia for people of my age but also bang on with the vintage trend that is sweeping the fashion industry. Not only that but these sandals give off a very 90's vibe that i was after when piecing together this outfit but also it keeps this ensemble still on the verge of summer. To also grasp the 90's feel i decided to style my hair half up half down adding a scrunchie to complete the hair style.

My favourite nail varnish at the moment that i am wearing with this outfit is from Barry m and it is called "blueberry". I thought i would keep my jewelry quite simple and went for this antique-esque ring that i picked up from a French market.

My new Schuh's

I purchased these lovely "Liquorice lace up" shoes from the Schuh website, they were in the sale for a mere £15 and if you ask me a wardrobe must have. The size runs up true so no need to downsize or upsize in this particular shoe and also i noticed when i wore them for the first time there was no need to break them in as they didn't rub at all. 

They are black which is a key feature to this shoe as it makes it extremely versatile to match any outfit. The chunkiness of the heel along with the platform gives these shoes a new edge to them and a unique quality. Another reason as to why these are dexterous is because they can be dressed either up or down depending on where you would like to wear them. These shoes to me give off a very Wednesday Addams vibe so that is why i think they would be perfect to style with a very Kate Middleton-esque dress that is a black baby doll style and has a white collar detailing. Socks or without socks either way these shoes look chic and stylish, if you were to however wear socks i would recommend frilly ones much like the coral ones shown above from Topshop.  

I can tell that these shoes will already be my favourites for the upcoming autumn. I hope you've enjoyed this post and thank you for reading

Vintage summer

I've been making the most of the summer this year by wearing as many sleeveless tops and patterned boho-esque skirts and shorts as humanly possible. I was merely running some errands today and i thought this outfit would be a nice onset to my blog. 

To begin, the plain grey sleeveless jersey that i am wearing is from topshop. I bought it a few years ago but i thought i would bring it out of hibernation and pair it with this lovely skirt that had a sweet vintage/boho vibe from motel vintage. My favourite part of any outfit are the shoes, today i decided on some simple retro t-bar sandals from topshop that are simply a must for summer and i can tell already that they are going to be my staple shoe for this season.

To complete this outfit i added some chunky big round sunnies which are simply a must have essential for the summer and these were from urban outfitters. The nail varnish that i am wearing to complement this look is called "coral" and it is by Barry m. I am always wearing a collection of vintage rings that i have collated from my grandma, nothing can get as vintage as that.

Now it is time to go and enjoy this sunshine while it lasts, i am thinking a nice  ice cold glass of lemonade and a good novel.
