Lolita

Black Velvet Lace Collar Skater Dress // Oh My Love (now half price £16!)

White Cleated Sandals // Ebay

Ah, have been wanting one of these black collared dresses for aaggges but being really picky at the one I wanted and missing out! my main criteria was that i wanted a skater skirt one and it had to be long sleeved...also with white cuffs if possible though tbh I could easily add these on to this dress if I fancy it, that way would be even more lolita style! 

Lolita has always been one of my fave fashion types to follow, having been a collector of all things Harajuku before Gwen Stefani's Harajuku lovers days! I still have a collection of lolita and cyber goth postcards around my bedroom fireplace and a custom cosplay outfit. Just love love love the creativity of japanese fashion.. .cannot wait to go to Harajuku one day to check out all the lolita and crazy cool styles of Japan fashion! 

Love, Sarah x

First thing you've probably noticed straight away is that I'm shooting outside - don't get too excited though, I'm cat-sitting my sisters two kitty cats this weekend so I thought I'd steal her garden for a couple of days too whilst she's away! Pics come out so much better outside, wish wish wish I had a garden! *sigh*

These were taken a couple of hours before we had a pretty cool thunder storm as it's been so hot recently. me and rich were watching it out the window as we missed last nights storm action... didn't hear a thing and must of slept through it all!

I posted about Pretty Little Thing a couple of months ago (leather jacket) and the shorts I'm wearing here are from their Paradox collection which has some amazing really modern and cool pieces!  I'm amazed that cloud print hasn't been as big a hit on the high street as it has been really popular online, its so pretty!  The crop top is actually from Missguided yet is the same print and matches perfectly <3 Think this is my new fave outfit in my wardrobe, partly cus it matches the angry summer storm clouds outside :)

I'm really a mermaid...

Forever 21 burn out logo tee- http://www.forever21.com/Imreallyamermaid
Blue metallic scale print shorts - TopShop
Silver sequin hotpants - Asos
White Sandals - Ebay
Necklace - Primark
Blue Hexagon Bag- H&M

My love of logo tees continues with this cute super soft burnout t-shirt from Forever 21, perfect for a beach cover up, I'm already starting to crave my dip dyed turquoise locks that would match the back after only three weeks of cutting off my ends...uh oh, so much for trying to keep my hair healthy and split end free!

The shiny blue metallic scale print shorts are from Topshop. I've had these in my wardrobe for a while since spotting them in a past gone Topshop sale and I've needed to fix the clasp on the waist put have never got round to it till now. The teal of the t-shirt doesn't really go with it but I wanted to feel as mermaidy as possible! :)

The sequin hotpants from Asos are another treasure of mine that are a couple of years old, I spotted in a Look Magazine beach style photoshoot and desperately wanted them! they make alot of noise when you walk about in them and are pretty heavy but I still love them!

In the meantime in the life of Sarah, I have become a World Cup widow (anyone else lost their other half's to  the football?!) and finally managed to bag tix to Clothes Show live @ The NEC Birmingham in December later this year, will be my first time going and surely won't be the last! :) excited..much! :D

Tropical Layered Crop Dress

Tropical Crop Dress - Fashion Union -http://www.fashionunion.com/signe-cut-out-layered-tee-dress
White Chunky Sandals - Ebay
Necklace - Primark

Since seeing Rihanna in an amazing Chanel lilac quilted crop style dress at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, I've been obsessed with finding a similar dress as Chanel-esk copies have gradually made there way on to the high street, no lilac or quilted ones though. Boo.

TopShop & New Look have had plenty of cropped/layered dresses in white in recently, however as I wanted something that was more colourful, I opted for this summery tropical number from Fashion Union. The layered top panel creates a perfect silhouette without compromising on comfort. Its a nice to to have a dress that's not body-con tight but can be just a figure flattering at the same time and perfect for daywear!

I've been thinking of sewing on a white pom-pom trim to the layered hem as pom-pom trim is having abit of an on-trend moment, and to give the dress even more of a summery vibe!
I'll post pics once I've managed to track some trim down and done some customising, got plenty of time to sew now whilst the boy is busy watching the World Cup!
