bargain! deichmann two tone flatforms

Hello! Bit of a random post today. I'm not quite sure how long it's been around, but a shoe shop called 'Deichmann' opened up in my town about a year ago. Until recently, I'd not been that bothered about it or even gone in! However, I've made my last two shoe purchases there! I bought a pair of cute leather look boat shoes for £14.99 and...TWO TONE FLATFORM WEDGES, again at just £14.99! They were on display and instantly caught my eye. I'd been looking for a pair of wedge flatforms after the lovely H&M black pair sold out in my size in my local store. I love the two tone detail, which looks like an Asos kind of detail. Despite being committed to flats for the daytime, these wedges are comfy enough to roam around in without too much trouble! They are also a complete bargain at £14.99! I couldn't quite believe the price! I definitely recommend heading to your local store or having a look at the website. You never know what you're going to find, even in the more unlikely shops!

you can have a look at the wedges here: thank you for reading! xxx

hair chalking!

Hello! I've been thinking about doing a coloured dip dye for a while. I'd heard about Kevin Murphy's Colour Bug, which is a product which will allow you to colour your hair and wash it out. I'd been intending to buy the Pink Colour Bug, but my local salon had run out. So I decided to try hair chalking! I used a chalk pastel to colour the ends of my hair. I was quite pleased with the results and it washed out really easily. There are quite a few useful youtube tutorials to tell you how to do it properly! It's important to use chalk pastels rather than oil pastels. It can also be a bit messy when you first apply it so if you try it, remember to wear old clothes! It's really easy to do so I'd really recommend it if you want to experiment with colour and still be able to wash it out!

aztec backpack

hello! apologies for the delay in posting, been busy lately!
Just a quick outfit post today. I bought this crochet crop top when I went to Camden last week. I can't wait until the weather's warm enough to be able to team it just with shorts and sandals! I'm also wearing my platform plimsolls. I love the height boost they give and they're a cheaper alternative to creepers. Again, I'm wearing my blue denim jacket which I can't seem to stop wearing lately! The weathers been a bit hit and miss lately so I still need the extra layer. I want summer to hurry up! I decided to debut my new Aztec backpack today! I'd been looking for one for ages when I found this one! It's a good size to be able to fit allll my stuff! I'm still a huge fan of aztec prints, so I think I'll be taking the Aztec trend into my summer wardrobe too!

Thanks for reading! :)

baroque print/ zara ss12

Hello! It seems like it's been winter forever but the season is finaaally drawing to a close! The shops are full of beautiful SS offerings but it's too cold at the moment to be able to wear most of them. :( My first piece of SS12 clothing is the shirt featured in my look 'R U Mine?' I saw it in Zara and fell in love! The baroque print isn't too gaudy and the muted colours and silky fabric give it a luxurious feel. My leggings are also from Zara, and they're really useful as they go with pretty much everything! I think Zara has done really well with its SS12 collections, taking on the trends and producing beautiful clothes! The TRF SS12 collection is outstanding, with amazing prints and colours. Now we just need the sun to come out to embrace SS12 fully!

skulls and stripes

another simple look today. I'm wearing a blue and white striped shirt which I was so excited to find! It's a good length to wear with leggings. My leggings are from H&M (£4.99), a far cheaper alternative to the much coveted American Apparel Disco Pants (£70). I opted for my teddy coat again today, and my Dr Marten boots. :)

collar and cuffs

Hello! I put together a fairly simple look today. I can't stop wearing a jumper and collar combination at the moment! Adding a plain white collar poking out over the top of a jumper adds a cute finishing touch. I added my oversize teddy boy style coat, a bargain in the New Look sale (it was £50 to start with and I paid £15!). My jumper was a bargain find, for £2.50! The bright colours and cute floral patterns make it a great transitional piece for spring. I added the studded shoes for a bit of edge!

the coat of many colours!

hello! sorry it's been a while. I've been wanting this Urban Outfitters coat ever since I saw it but couldn't justify spending so much on it! I was so happy to find it in the sale and have been wearing ever since. I love Urban Outfitters so much, but as there's not a store nearby I don't get to go there often :(. I love the jewel colours of the coat which are easy to pick out. I also love the cosy faux fur collar and the Aztec pattern. I'm still in love with the Aztec trends which are continuing into 2012. I decided to keep the rest of the outfit fairly neutral to allow the coat to stand out!
