Lilac Frill Dress (also doubles up as a skirt!) // Antica Sartoria 

Lilac Embroidered Scarf (worn as belt) //  Antica Sartoria 

Its been almost a year I’ve been waiting to dig this one out can't believe its almost been a year since I got married and was in Sorrento, Italy (aka, heaven on earth!) 

 I bought this ensemble from the most beautiful boutique in Sorrento town last October and wore it throughout our Honeymoon but on returning to the UK autumn was well and truly here so it went in the wardrobe awaiting summer again and here it is!

I went out last Sunday & whist it was a nice day it was a little windy so I went for a fairly minimalist make up face as per usual Sunday style and beachy sea salt hair as I couldn't be bothered to wash it before going out for a blowy walk! :).

Want to find out more about Antica Sartoria? head over to Sweet Southern Blue's blog as she has also written a great write up and took pictures of this pretty shop (I was too busy shopping for pictures haha!)

Its almost like they had SS16 in mind a year early with the pretty embroidered detail on the lilac scarf (worn as a belt) and the frilliness of the dress. I love gypsy floaty style things for summer so I couldn’t resist buying the whole outfit as it was in the window! It was just perfect for Sorrento as I love my holiday outfits to be around all girly and pretty , especially if there are in a location like Italy

Antica Sartoria sell the most gorgeous garms, next time we go I will be bringing an extra case just to visit this shop and get more. Most def will be a nexxt time, I would love to travel the whole Amalfi Coast! <3

Have you stumbled on any great boutiques on your travels? Let me know!

Kuccia

Secret Garden Party Festival style with head to toe sequins in a funky dinosaur dress!

Dinosaur Patch Sequin T-shirt Dress // Kuccia @ Topshop Oxford Circus

Hyper Iridescent Backpack // Skinnydip London

Lilac Fluffy Sliders // DIY 

Hey peoples! 

I am finally back with a new outfit post in what seems like forever! It is a pretty awesome one though as its new brand I discovered in Topshop Oxford Circus last week! 

If any of you were lucky enough to of gone to Secret Garden Party, you may of stumbled on Kuccia in the Secret Emporium with some amazing festival garms as they were also there.

I picked up this awesome Kuccia dinosaur sequin dress in Topshop though as it seems to only otherwise be available in there and not on the Kuccia website yet! 

I love anything dinosaur print so knew I had to treat myself to it although I'm not venturing to any festivals in meantime, its such a cute design and in my fave colour - Follow Kuccia on instagram to see their latest designs!

Check out my fluffy sliders too! Such an easy DIY and just under a tenner to get these fabulous beauties made! I picked lilac as it matched the embroidery around the dinos and was hoping to wear my lilac lippy to match but couldn't find it :( ah wellll! 

I'll try and get back on top of the blog in August so look out for more outfit posts and fresh content to come! :)

The UNIF Frost Dupe..

Nothing beats a good dupe or candy coloured houses! Would love to live in a little colourful house like this! :)

Here I have found a copy of the blogger fave the Frost sweater and made a DIY version of the Lazy Oaf x Ragged Priest Total Mess Jeans!

Pastel Stripe Knit // SheIn

White "I can always be myself around you" Print Flatforms // Choies

Blue Jeggings (customised) // Primark

Lilac Heart Choker // eBay 

Lilac Satchel // River Island 

Pink Fluffy Keyring // Molly Trubody

The UNIF Frost sweater has been the blogger sweater this season, however, due to that it was constantly sold out and that it was pretty pricey I didn't get it. I went on a scout to find a dupe and found this pretty amazing dupe for just £15! 

Sites such as SheIn & Choies have pretty good dupes of alot of brands and, (so long as you don't need the item quickly as they come from China), is a great way to get hold of fashionable lookalike garms for a fraction of the cost! Although I was sceptical at first, and as ever, you have gotta be careful when shopping online, I definitely recommend these two sites and everything I have bought has been really good quality and as described :) 

I am totally obsessed with these Choies trainers too, they are incredibly comfortable and so eye catching. I tried to customise them with some pink fluff but they didn't exactly work as planed so am gonna try spray painting the fluff next until I find some actual pink fluffy fabric! :) 

I also had a DIY moment with these Primark Jeans - Ragged Priest collaborated with Lazy Oaf not to long ago and made some amazing jeans with some pretty simple to copy marker pen writing on the knees, however at the price of £65 I thought I could easily copy this and make my own version for just £10 here. DIY writing with a fabric marker pen and made my own knee rips, easy peasy! 

Have you got any good dupes websites that you can recommend or have any DIY ideas for any clothes you have seen lately? let me know! :)

Floral Clash

A-Line Textured Floral Cross Back Dress // Asos

Lilac Satchel // River Island

Pink Fluff // Molly Trubody

Pink Cleated Sandals // Ebay

Just a super quick post today as I'm soooo tired, had a crazy busy weekend with some really exciting news which I will spill on soon..got alot of things to plan! ;)

I absolutely adore print clashes, I'm not brilliant though at coming up with great ones which is why I'm thrilled Asos have done all the hard work for me and made this fab floral clash dress with a very retro bold 60s floral print on the bottom and a hawaiian pink flower on the top. Found this matchy purple flower wall on my way home the other day and had to stop to take pics with my matching bag and purpleness in my outfit! 

Its a fab office workwear dress as it dosent ride up half as much as my other dresses and its such a nice bright print. Think it may also be my only A-line dress i own as as well.. all my dresses n skirts are either super short or super long!

Other cool things include the back which is strappy and crosses over (didn't remember to take a picture..doh!) and its a textured dress, i'm not sure how to describe it to you but its kinda like those quilted sweater that were everywhere a couple of months back only this ones got little bumps on it like braille, This dress is unlike anything I have in my wardrobe so def a keeper! 

My River Island satchel I got for Christmas is still going strong too! These are still in RI shops in multiple colour options so would advise if you had one of these on your wishlist you snap one of these babies up before they actually do vanish!

Ahhhh!!! am so gutted this top doesn't fit me!! :( :( am so in love with it too, love the message and of course all dem sequins! wanted to share it with u as it is sooo pretty. For a size 8 its huge! I would need some serious implants to pad this one out..and its not the kinda top you can just bung a bra on underneath so have popped my O-mighty crop top on underneath for the sake of taking these pics and decency! lol!

Will do another shoot later this summer of this one and will alter it somehow to fit!

Just love the message on it and the Miami skyline. I can't wait to wear it later in the year with the sun shining on all the sequins! :)

Next time I order from TIALS will make sure I get a size 6 tho they have totally sold out in this design! Some of these left on Dolls Kill still but not in the smallest size in blue.

Creepy But Cute

Studded Bleached Denim Hotpants // Primark

Pentagram Choker // Missguided

Fishnets // Topshop

Pink Fluffy Hairband // DIY

Ah, another blustery day of trying to take half decent picture without looking like I've been in a hurricane. and my tights crotch bit has gone for a wonder down my leg. looooool.

On the bright side, look at this amazing tee from Heba clothing!! <3 super cute. Eveything Heba makes is hand-dyed and customised so every piece is different.

I love the tie dye and the motif on the front. I actually thought when I bought it the Creepy but cute words were embroidered on but it is actually printed. Think it would add to its amazingness if it was embroidered but I supposed it would come off in the wash really easy then. I really , really need to start tie dying old stuff of mine cus I could happily have a whole wardrobe like this. have never done tie dye though!

Don't think again I've captured it that well but all the back part is all slitty and ripped and stuff which I loveee. I have a Rolling Stones top with an identical back to this as well though its years old and smells abit wardrobe musky now. :/

To put it all together I made the maribou feather hairband to make it feel more princessey :) I had actually bought the trim to DIY up some sandals but overestimated how much 2 metres was!
