Shoes with a view



Barcelona outfit two! After a much needed visit to Zara in Spain I'm now the owner of this beautiful skirt, and it's so much cheaper than it would have been in UK Zara woo! -Now back to the expensive prices for the rest of my wardrobe..Still worth it. Zara is Bae.

When travelling around in a sunny city like Barcelona this kind of outfit ticks all the boxes. Light, floaty, pink, lacey and of course just enough skin on show for a tan. You know the drill.

I wouldn't normally match dusty pink and burgundy (shoes) but I'm loving it recently, which is great as these colours are all over the place recently so why not mix and match?! If done right, a full outfit of the same colour pallet can look so stylish.




How stunning is this back drop! We took a (wobbly) cable car up to the top of a castle and the 360 views were amazing, you can see the whole of Barcelona! Everything was great except I nearly got blown away at the top whilst flashing every passer by on the stairs. - I was just eyeballing the view, I hope they were too.



If you're thinking of buying these, DO IT. DO IT NOW. Their so cosy and great, eugh. PS. they are now on sale, and I'm not even sad because I've had so much use out of them. Enough said.

On Wednesdays we wear pink

Spring is here! Quick grab your florals and get those ankles out. 


Seriously though, how amazing is this bomber, I would wear this everyday if I could. Bombers are everywhere at the moment and I'm obsessed with emroidery so these are a match made in heaven. 

The great thing about a bomber is they're so versatile, jeans, shorts, skirts. -I've done it all. But this is my personal fave, the pleated midi skirt. Midi skirts/culottes are my life. Most people throw on jeans as an everyday option, those are mine. 


Another fave of 2016, the off the shoulder bardot. I have far too many already and that's still not enough. Although they do make me want to contour in some collar bones, because yano, cheese is life.

Charity Shop Loving




Been dying to do some some posts recently, have loads of new things to share. I just started a new job so have been pretty busy recently working and spending my discount. Anyway, thought I'd do a post on charity shopping as quite a lot of things I wear are from them. 

I admit it, I am a secret hoarder. I can't bare the thought of throwing away clothes. Fashion repeats all the time, so why buy the same thing that everyone else has when you can wear a version that you used to own once upon a time. I always fall back in love with old clothes I once hated a few years ago but kept hold of, or items my mum luckly kept since the 80s. This is probably why I love charity shopping so much.

 I know charity shop shopping isn't for everyone,a bit like sale shopping. You do have to go through a lot of rubbish to find something worth while, but once you do its so much more exciting. I'm aware I sound like a massive saddo.

So I thought I'd write a few rules I mostly stick too when shopping in charity shops for anyone who's not sure where to start:

1) Go to nice areas- I normally find nicer brands in posher places even if they are a bit more expensive.

2)Don't go in looking for something in particular-. I swear whenever I want a new jumper/a certain print ect there is nothing like it, and I end up not getting anything because i'm too busy hunting for it. 

3)Don't buy everything because it's cheap- So many times I say 'oh its only £5', then I continue to buy 5 other things that I'm not massively keen on when I could have spent that money on something I'd love and will actually wear. So hard not to get carried away.

4)Try stuff on- I almost always try stuff on otherwise half the time I get it home and decide I never want to wear it because it fits weird,

5)Don't just stick to looking in your gender/size- Half the things I buy are mens or a size 16.

6)Wash before you wear-Pretty obvs, who knows where its been. My boyfriend always tells me someone probably died in what I wear, which is just a lovely thought.

I don't care if I smell like old ladies, old ladies are cute. 





These are some of my fave new buys from charity shops recently, if I could wear this swede skirt everyday I would.-So beautiful. The colour is amazing, and swede is definitely one of my fave fabrics right now. I don't tend to wear too much second hand things together but I thought I'd wear a few things from charity shops together to show you don't always have to look like a nan or a hipster from Camden. 




 I love the neck line on this jumper, such a cute little detail.
