Feeling positively tropical in this heat with this babin 50s style Hawaiian playsuit!

Hawaiian Print 1950's style Playsuit // Tara Starlet 

Hula Girl Pin Badge // Punky Pins

Suitcase bag // Accessorize (sold out, similar here)

Finally things are starting to feel abit more summery round here, heatwave, gorgeous beach times and its officially ok to have ice cream for lunch & dinner!

With the weather being so gorgeous, I ventured down to the beach in my Tara Starlet playsuit. It’s an oldie, but a goodie, having had it for a few years now! Its been to BBQ’s, luau parties..the lot!

This time I’ve teamed it up with this super cute pin badge from Punky Pins , I am so obsessed with pins right now, I so wanna get more!

Although the temptation was there to go all wavey with my hair I left it straight as the 30 degree heatwave is probably enough for it to deal with! J

Not familiar with Tara Starlet?

Tara Starlet will have you going gaga over their vintage 50s style designs that make you feel like a 1950’s pin up girl, every design is so unique all being sourced and manufactured in London. I think I first heard of them having spotted them in a magazine some years ago now and knew I had to check them out!

Check out their SS16 collection now and let your inner pin up doll loose!

Gypsy Soul

Calling all festival & boho babes! Pretty Little Thing has got you covered with their latest collection... 

Vayla Green Choker Printed Playsuit // Pretty Little Thing
Fringed Brown Suede Jacket // Boohoo
Brown Suede Wicker Heels // New Look
Western Style Belt // Primark

So, it is officially festival season, one of my faves as it means fringing and boho babin galore! 

This year, my fave collection is by far Pretty Little Things Gypsy Soul range - I have not been this excited about a collection drop in aaages but when I first saw it hit instagram a couple of weeks ago and then checked on the site I quite literally wanted everything! 

I was a good girl though and just allowed myself to pick just one thing at the mo (will most def be going back to get more!) and I chose this beautiful green playsuit, 

I don't own alot of green so it makes a nice change to my wardrobe and the fluted sleeves are soo flattering... just so in love with it! I also treated myself to an In Your Dreams face sticker set which by the looks they are also promoting with the collection as all the photos have them in - super exciting as I've also been following In Your Dreams on instagram as well and love their festival make up! Will def give them a go and let you know how they turn out! 

I'm afraid I can't find a link to it or find many of the other things I added from the collection to my pintrest board..gonna hazard a guess and say pretty much everything in there is sold out! :( 

Hopefully they will be restocking soon so you can see the full range and shop one of these lovely pieces too! 

Check out the promo and collection here and keep your eyes on any announcements of restocks.. think there will be a stampede for the second wave if they are to restock anything!

Indian Summer

Indian Summer 70's Print Flare Sleeve Playsuit // Motel

Tassel Suede Fringe Tan Jacket // Boohoo (now only £12!!)
Elephant Necklace // Claire's Accessories 

Brown Fedora // Select 

Brown Suede Cut Out Boots // New Look 

Ok - totally get it may be abit of a stretch to call it an indian summer now that we are in November but it is still pretty mild outside if your live in the south of the UK (still pretty much 16-17 degrees here) When I've been up north in the UK at this time of year you can definitely note the temperature change!

I think I may have noticed this playsuit a little late on Motel as it may have actually of been in Motel a while cus of it's name but had to get it and wear to for the last couple of weeks in autumn as its just soo pretty!

Its the perfect retro playsuit and fits in perfectly with this years 70's trend. The pattern is very 70s nans wallpaper but I love it! :)

The sleeves are what make this piece so unique, not only are they flared bell sleeved by they also pretty three quarter frilly ones! <3

Wish I had spotted it on Motel slightly sooner to get more wear out of it for this season! Hoping they make a winter maxi dress in the same pattern in burgundy red perhaps to take it through to next season (hint hint & pretty please Motel!)

Geisha

Birds of a Feather Kimono Sleeve Playsuit // Oh My Love

Fan // Bought from La Ramblas, Barcelona

Geisha Bag // Gift from a friend

White Cleated Sandals // Ebay

Yet another beautiful item from Oh My Love, there SS15 stuff has just been sooooo good!

Covered with beautiful birds (I think they are Cranes?)  and blossoms print this is a really unique piece which is great both as daywear worn with gladiators or flats and heels and a paired with scarlet lippy for an alternative as a dress for an evening out.

I also really like plunge necklines so that added in is a great bonus (boob tape is def needed as is not as tight fitting as some of my other plunge neck playsuits!)

As with quite alot of Oh My Love things, they do tend to make prints of things in multiple styles as Motel also do, so if the Geisha look isn't for you or you wanna check out the strappy version of this playsuit you can find it here. Personally I have always wanted a kimono and this is the best and closest thing I have ever had like one! 

I managed to shoot this in the Holywell Gardens which is usually home to a local am-dram group at this time of year whilst they perform Shakespeare but managed to nab a time where they were having a day off or perhaps just before they arrived as the place was totally deserted. Its is one of my fave places to go when I wanna chill out :)

Pretty In Pink..

Pink & Blue Tile Print Plunge Playsuit // Missguided

Pink Cleated Sandals // Ebay

Back to shooting on the street again, yay! feels like its been an age since I've gone out and about and done a shoot without staying close to my flat or work. 

I really wanted to get a shot with a blossom tree to go with this pretty pink tile print playsuit from Missguided but kept finding ones that had either been abit windswept or finding a really nice one only for the owner of the house to turn up at the very moment wondering what I'm doing lol! so thats why is no consistent shots of a particular tree, I had to keep walking around! 

Think this is my first playsuit I've picked up so far this year, tbh, I wasnt sure about it when it came as it felt almost too pink and I wasnt sure it suited me but think I will keep it now to wear this summer as alot of my 70s style stuff I've bought has all been very brown and yellow which is darkening my wardrobe abit but brightening it up a little at the same time with all these crazy 70s patterns! 

 I really like the bell sleeved and the lacey plunge neck though as this ones far more of a loose fit that many of my other plunge neck stuff am gonna need abit more tit tape for when I next wear it out..had a couple of near boob escapage moments! lol! 

Love, Sarah x 

Equinox

Floral Chiffon Plunge Maxi Playsuit - Missguided
Wide Brim Black Fedora Hat - Asos
Black Suede Platform Studded Boots - Ebay

Well, its official - Autumn is here!

I have seen so many pretty things for this season I want to get - starting with this chiffon maxi playsuit from Missguided. It has such a cool 70's boho vibe to it which I adore. I have such a huuuge wishlist of Missguided's New In section as its all so amazing!

I have an abundance of bright floral things in my wardrobe and I usually avoid florals on black or dark colours unless there is a gothicy twist to it so this was abit of a change for me though I like the autumnal colours of the roses on it. I wouldn't also go for a plunging neckline either but this one fits beautifully - have opted for the smallest size to avoid any exposure issues.

I'l try and get as much wear out of this before I have to start thing about layering it over things. Is particularly nippy in the mornings at the moment unless I'm just feeling it more since coming back from Spain last week. Looks like I'll be covering up my tan quicker than hoped, though I can't deny I'm not excited about cosy knits and sweaters appearing everywhere at the moment. Keep an eye on my Pintrest board for my best pics of whats around! :)
