PINE TREES




TOPSHOP JUMPER
TOPSHOP MOTO JAMIE JEANS
RIVER ISLAND BOOTS



I'm going to see Mockingjay on friday and I'm so excited its like my equivalent of christmas! Recently I bought these Ripped Jamie Jeans from Topshop. I think they're really good because they're thicker than the Joni Jeans but still quite stretchy and are high waisted as well. At the moment I seem to have obtained an abuncance of poloneck/turtleneck jumpers and now they are all I wear.

TARTAN AND CATS



TOPSHOP TSHIRT
H&M COAT
COW VINTAGE SKIRT
RIVER ISLAND BOOTS
CAMDEN MARKET SUNGLASSES

Hi, sorry for the extreme lack of posts this month, I've been fairely busy. 
Recently I bought this gorgeousss camel coat, which I absolutely love. I wish it would get colder so I can wear it more often without looking weird. Even more recently, I went to COW and found this green tartan skirt. Originally I had my heart set on Ameircan Apparel's green plaid skirt, but their prices are ridiculous, so I was extremely happy when I found this for like 1/4 of the price. The skirt has been altered a bit so it looks less like a kilt and more like a skirt, but now it fits perfectly and I love it. I don't know why I havent included my cat t-shirt in an ootd before because I literally wear it every single day.

SUPERSONIC



TOPSHOP DRESS
ASOS SHOES
SUNGLASSES FROM A MARKET IN MAJORCA
I'm quite looking forward to autumn and jumpers and coats and the jake bugg concert. I've just returned from my holiday in Majorca and France and it hasn't stopped raining since I stepped off the plane. Ah home sweet home. These outfit photos were taken in Majorca in our apartment garden where it was nice and hot and warm enough to wear a dress. I've had this simple black dress for ages and I still love it, despite its very basic style. This is basically the most simple look ever, no accessories or a jacket or anything, just the dress. To my despair, my favourite chunky black sandals broke whilst on holiday so I opted for my holographic sandals instead. I think I'm going to be doing another holiday related post so expect that soon.

SALLY CINNAMON




eBay T-Shirt
Urban Outfitters Dungarees
ASOS Shoes
Camden Market Sunglasses
 I recently brought these denim dungarees, which I rather like. They're kind of over-sized and bordering on tomboyish, but I prefer this type to properly fitted shorts and think it gives more of a 80's-90's feel to the outfit. I recently made my first ever ASOS purchase, which included these gold holographic shoes. I think they make most of my boring outfits a lot more interesting and I don't think I have ever owned such a brightly coloured shoe. Also, they are extremely comfortable, which is a bonus.

PARMA VIOLETS




Topshop Dress
eBay Shoes
Camden Market Sunglasses

Hi, sorry for not posting in ages, my crazy social life really just got out of hand.
Last Sunday (when these photos were taken) I went to Warner Bros Studio Tour, The Making of Harry Potter. It was absolutely incredible, and I'm going to do a post on it later. The day before going, me and my friend went into town and I got this dress in topshop. I think this is the first time I have worn a colour ever on this blog, can somebody give me a medal please? I really like the low waist line and the powdery purple colour is super cool.

LONDON
















OUTFIT ONE
Topshop Jumpsuit
Topshop Shoes
Cow Denim Jacket
Vintage Bag

OUTFIT TWO
Cow Vintage Dress
Topshop T-Shirt Underneath
eBay Shoes
Camden Market Sunglasses

These pictures are a bit all over the place, but as you can probably tell, I went to London this weekend. On the first day there I went to Camden Market and had lunch and purchased some stuff for myself and my friends birthday. It was horrendously busy, and full of tourists and obey hats, but I really enjoyed my time there. Me and my mom had lunch by the water and a funny chinese man gave us some free chips. Camden is a great place to photograph because of the vibrancy and colour, loads of signage, typography and little trinkets. But its also awkward as most stall holders don't want you taking pictures of their stuff, and I shouted at a few times.  
Day 2 consisted of Spitalfields Market. In my opinion, there were better stalls and things to buy here, but I preferred the atmosphere of Camden. I discovered this shop that was similar to Cow Vintage, called Rokit, and I got a green Killers t-shirt for £3 which I was pretty happy with. I also bought some knitted badges of a stall in the market that I'm going to decorate my school bag with. 

Overall, I really liked London. I also went to Oxford Street for the first time and it was amazing and we went on the Emirates Skyline thingy too. All the people/waiters in restaurants/shop assistants that I spoke to were really really friendly and nice, compared to people I encounter in Birmingham where I live. I thought it was really interesting seeing all the different nationalities and fashions and people all together, and when some men were playing guitar and violin on the tube it was just cool.

LUSH&COW VINTAGE HAUL










I spent about an hour in Lush today, much to my enjoyment. The first thing I got was their Brazened Honey Face Mask, which I have on now while I'm blogging, and my face feels lovely and really warm. It claims to renew tired skin&leave you glowing, moisturised and exfoliated, so I'll guess I'll find out when I take it off. Then I have Lush's Sugar Scrub, which has a really fresh ginger&fennel smell. The assistant guy in the shop recommended it for exfoliating&brightening your skin, and getting read of any dead skin cells&rough patches (sounds beautiful right?). Stepping Stones, which is the foot shaped bar, is probably one of my favourite purchases. I don't really do much in terms of 'feet care' and theres been a foot shaped gap in my skin care routine for a while now, so this fills the hole perfectly. The last few things I got were little samples of Oatifix, which is a gorgeous porridge smelling face mask that was out of stock, and The Sacred Truth. At the till there were tiny £1 charity pots of an unlabelled body&hand creme that smelt like cocoa butter so I got that too. 

Now onto COW. I am sooo excited to finally own a perfect oversized denim jacket that I can just wear with absolutely everything. This one was £40, which I thought was pretty reasonable since its Levi, and I am absolutely in love with it.

A DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE





COW T-SHIRT
COW SKIRT
TOPSHOP SHOES
H&M HAT
PRIMARK SUNGLASSES

-THE SUN HAS APPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4 MONTHS-
I'm still not really sure if this skirt&t-shirt go together very well, but I love them. 
Yesterday me and my friend went back to Cow Vintage in Digbeth, and I bought these two items. I think the skirt was originally a men's shirt or something, but it's been reworked into this gorgeous skirt. The weather was so lovely, so I went for a more floaty look than usual, with my t-bar shoes and fedora.

CUSTARD







PRIMARK TOP
URBAN OUTFITTERS JEANS
RIVER ISLAND BOOTS
H&M COAT


A very picture heavy post today. Finally, I've been to the Custard Factory, looked round, had lunch and took some photos. There's about 4 small vintage clothing shops and then lots of decor&music ones too. My favourites were Urban Village&Cow Vintage. I wore my mom jeans& a striped top which I've included in posts before, my usual boots and this H&M coat. It's such a good place for photos, since all the walls are covered in art or sculptures or graffiti, and I had a lovely day (despite the rain).

MR BRIGHTSIDE







COW VINTAGE SHIRT
TOPSHOP COAT 
RIVER ISLAND BOOTS
URBAN OUTFITTERS WATCH 
RIMMEL NAILS - RAPID RUBY


Today I was hoping to go to the Custard Factory (which no longer sells custard, and is just a handful of little vintage shops&cafes) to have a look around and take some photos, but it was closed, so I ended up in Cow Vintage and brought this gorgeous shirt. I think it adds quite an edgy feel to the outfit and will go well with mom jeans&disco pants. I also picked up a red and green tartan srunchie which was a complete bargain. Hopefully next weekend I'll be able to go to the other shops when they're open and get some more up-cycled things.
