STIG OF THE DUMP

The top you can see in this post was formerly a Motel dress! I didn't really wear/like the dress anymore so....voila! I've been cutting up my clothes a lot recently and it's kinda hard to know when to stop....

I paired the crop top with a really cheap pair of leather look, Hennes leggings and a satin jacket I picked up from AA a few months back.

Hope you like,

THE YELLOW SHOP

I wanted to do a post on a shirt I picked up recently. It's from one of my all time favourite shops- 'The Yellow Shop'. Considering its such a lil shop, it's jam packed with an amazing array of retro clothes and accessories.
This Wrangler shirt was in the kids section and I picked it up for £10! I borrowed the wing-tips from my housemate but I believe he bought them off eBay (I'll see if I can fin the exact supplier!).
Anyway, I adapted the outfit from my last post so the shirt is the only things that's new!

Hope you like!

DIE BL,EST

Soooo here's a new outfit post dedicated to my BL,EST 'Beware' tee!
My manager (Ben) started up BL,EST a few years ago. After showing me his website I fell in love with many of the designs! I've been wanting to get my hands on a tee ever since so Ben, very kindly, let me pick a few out of his collection. This raglan is my favourite but watch this space for the others!
I paired it with some disco shorts and a new (borrowed) studded belt. I realised I had never featured my doc's in a post before, so here they are making their first appearance!

Hope you like!

CAMO AND FAUX-LEX'S

This one is just a quick post to soothe my holiday blues! So I'm going to Ibiza for two weeks at the beginning of September but I'm fed up of waiting! The weather here is so miserable so I thought I'd buy a few things to cheer me up and get me excited for holiday.. excuses, excuses.... I know.
My first purchase (and the one I'm most proud of) is my red swimsuit from American Apparel. I bought it in the sale for £15 an I've been looking for one like it for ages! It's a 'lil risqué and I don't think I could wear it just as a swimsuit but I'm working on that one.
My second purchase was my camo shirt from Urban Outfitters. I don't tend to shop in there but the 'urban renewal' men's shirt caught my eye in the window so I thought I'd pop in and try it on in my lunch break. I bought it for £22 (orig. price was £28 but I got some student discount hehe).
I paired these items with some denim shorts from Karen Millen (originally jeans), my usual gold chain and just some cheap 'hidden heel' wedges from River Island.
The last pic is of one of my presents my flat mates brought me back off their honeymoon. It was only a joke present but I love it!

Anyway,
Hope you liiiike,

LILAC HAIR

Just a quick post to show my latest experiment.
I've been inspired by Charlotte free's new pink/purple ombré locks but I wanted more of a less solid washed out look.
This is how I achieved it:

I mixed schwarzkopf's 'mystic violet xxl colour' with some shampoo and shook it well.
I then lathered the mixture into my hair a left for only a minute (my hair was very light blonde before so I didn't want it going bright purple!).
I rinsed and left my hair in a warm towel with some conditioner and rinsed again.
I styled my hair with some straighteners and my favourite product- Lee Stafford's 'salt spray'. It smells amazing too!

I'm pretty happy with the results- let me know if you like :)

Voila!
