I have to admit I actually shot this a while back when it was too hot to wear this but was a really windy day! lol! I couldnt wait much longer to show you my amazing jumpsuit solemate with this  lovely from Topshop though,

Khaki is also another trend that never goes away for A/W. This year instead of the usual khaki skinnys or shirts I've opted for this incredibly comfy jumspsuit, a cool bit of Sunday dress down for when the 70s platforms and little skirts feel abit too dressy and painful (cus lets face it, being in platforms all seasons gonna take its toll on our feet abit!)

Pockets are a great feature on this one as its got two on the top and then two slouchy ones at the waist which I loveee! That and its a really good fit on petite girls too which is a refreshing change from seeing so many gorgeous party style jumpsuits but then having to put them back cus unless you have legs like Gisele you ain't gonna be able to wear them. Not that it dosent stop me trying them on first though just to make sure!

Oh! I can't really go without mentioning the pumps, how cute are they!! Picked these fun little shoes up in H&M back in May/June and adore them and their colourful cactus chica design. I don't have many outfits that go with them as was hoping to find something to totally match them but haven't found anything just yet. They go nicely and add a pop of colour to this jumpsuit though :)

Pavan Henna @ Selfridges

Whilst I was up in London a couple of weeks ago I also popped into the Selfridges Beauty Workshop (very quickly becoming one my fave places!) to visit the lovely ladies of Pavan Henna and to get my first ever henna tattoo done!

Henna is really growing in popularity here in the UK, with demand being particularly high at the this time of year for celebrations such as Eid taking place and also henna being used for festivals is quite popular now also. I was really excited to give henna a try! 

Henna tattoos are created by henna artists who draw on the design to your skin with traditional henna paste with clove oil and eucalyptus oil to enhance the colour. These ladies are really talented at what they do and can create either a design of your choice or if you are unsure of what you want you can get totally lost in their henna design book of designs they have done before.. choosing which one you want can be difficult as they are all soo nice! so would advice to do your research and have an idea in mind. 

At the Pavan Henna bar they have a henna menu which includes henna trails (a design that can go from your fingers to just past your wrist), ankle, full arm or full hand. They also sell temporary tattoos, bindis and stick on gems or you can buy henna cones from them if you fancy trying to do your own henna designs!

henna cones, bindis and temporary tattoos

I wanted something custom for my first design so I went with a traditional design around my wrist, which then turned abit azteccy with a pyramid, shield and crescent moon with some european style flowers on the fingers, 

The clay stuff tingles abit when its on for a few minutes and then once dry hardens and then easily comes off to reveal the tattoo underneath!

Black Mesh, Turquoise Jewels & Henna

Lace & Mesh Maxi Dress Black // Missguided

Semi-Precious Stone Pendant Necklace Turquoise // Missguided 

Black Strappy dress (worn underneath) // Primark

Black Fedora // Asos

Henna // Custom design by Pavan 

With my wardrobe being all kindsa colour crazy these last couple of months I thought I do something a little bit different and go for an all black outfit with this beaut mesh maxi from Missguided. 

I have layered it up as it is completely see thru without the little black Primark strappy dress on underneath for decency but it does look stunning without layering underneath as it has peekaboo lace panels and is really clingy and flattering..good for doubling up as bedroom lingerie hehe! For  the residents of Eastbournes sake tho and to wear to work, the strappy dress has gotta be worn underneath! 

To go with my sorta gothyish look these I've also dug out my black fedora which is getting abit miss-shapen! will make it my mission to get a new one for the autumn as there are sure to be loads of these appearing in shops soon. (why do they usher in the A/W clothes so quick in the UK??, Its JULY FFS, never understood this!!) 

To finish and throw back in a pop of colour, I also got this beautiful turquoise necklace from Missguided so I don't feel too muchly in dark colours. Love turquoise accessories with dark colours as they can take more of a centre piece. Our wedding rings that have also come this week are also this colour stone :)

oh, lastly have you spotted my henna tattoo? I went to the Pavan henna bar in Selfridges Beauty workshop just before we went to the Alexander Mcqueen, Savage Beauty exhibit and got it done! Got a post coming on these guys soon so you can find out all about it then! 

Love, Sarah  x
