Sleep all day

Hola! I got back from my holiday yesterday and had nowhere near enough energy in me to write a post, so here I am with one for you today. If any of you still don't know (though I'm sure I've mentioned it far too much) I've been away in Spain with some friends for the past week. It was a lot of fun and had a mix of everything in it so it was definitely a great experience. To tie in with this theme (and because of the fact it's unusually warm in England at the moment) I've worn a very summery, casual look today. I'm pretty sure this is only my 2nd shorts post so you'll be sure to see a few more of these coming up over the summer. This pair were an old pair I got given and just adjusted a bit. I'm wearing them with an old t-shirt and my sandals from Topshop (great to add to any outfit but they gave me the hugest blisters while on holiday). I have finally gone and made myself a flower crown (if you haven't done this yet, why not!?) which I really like but feel will only be worn in the confinements of my own house and garden (not really sure I can personally pull off the flower crown look in public!). 

(*cliche warning*) I don't really say thank you enough really for taking the time to read, comment or even just glance at my posts, it really means a lot. This is my 96th post so I'm reminiscing slightly over my blogging experience and I'm genuinely shocked I've lasted this long (with a lot of help from you guys of course!). 

What do you think of my outfit? Is anyone doing anything exciting soon?

Black Leather

Wasn't the weather so nice today? It was actually considerably warm for England (no jacket required). I'm hoping the sun is going to last (fingers crossed) but looking at the weather forecast, it seems as if it's going to be slightly cooler the next few days. I'm really (so so much) excited to go and see Two Door Cinema Club this Saturday though, so all is good!

These fake leather shorts were a recent purchase from ebay (£3.99). They're originally from H&M so you obviously can't expect them to look quite as good as the proper vintage versions you can find but I don't think they look too bad. I'm also wearing a shirt I received from my grandma and the necklace was bought on holiday. Last year I broke my sunglasses - it was devastating - and I've been searching for a replacement pair for a while. I find it really difficult to find sunglasses that actually suit me so I picked out a pair pretty much exactly the same as my old ones but from River Island (my previous ones I had found in a vintage market). I'm still not completley sure about them yet, (hence me resting them on my head rather than wearing them properly) but hopefully as we go into summer I'll get used to them.

What do you think of my outfit? Are you doing anything this weekend?

4 outfits for spring...

So I've been browsing shops online to come up with these 4 outfits for you just in time for spring (can't believe how fast time flies!).

After seeing so many other bloggers wearing clothes from Choies.com I decided to have a look at it and found I was in heaven! The clothes on there are all (literally all of them) amazing and not badly priced either hence why I included so many in this post. If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend taking a look. 

What do you think of these outfits?

{Remix} Shorts Story...

There's nothing I love more than a good pair of versatile, timeless shorts... Can you tell? I've only worn these faux leather lovelies like a million times, each of which never ceased to delight me with their diversity. From blouses and sweaters, to blazers and tights galore, the possibilities are endless where these not-so-basic basic shorts are concerned. Ooooh yeah.

And in other news, I apparently have a tendency to remix within remixes, especially where accessories are concerned. Exhibit A: quilted bag and booties. Is it a coincidence that they appeared twice in this remix roundup? I think not.

Happy weekending, friends! What's everyone getting up to? xx

{Travel Diary} Short Shorts...

I wore these shorts ad nauseum during my trip, because not only were they super cute and comfy, but the polka dots made them virtually irresistible to me... Be it day or night, these shorts were on and in a big way. They even made it to the top of a mountain, where they enjoyed a cool glass of beer under the stars... Talk about some traveling pants.

Happy Thursday! xx

Cropped...

I'm kinda a big fan of crop tops, especially when they hail from decades past... Nothing beats an original (sorry, American Apparel), so scouring the racks of my local Value Village becomes something of an olympic sport where crop tops are concerned. This one was a prized-find last summer, when I scooped it up for only a couple of dollars in Victoria. And with the weather being as lovely as it currently is, I couldn't think of a better item to thrown on with shorts... Let the sun shine. xx

Fleeting Moments...

Just when I thought summer was on it's way, the weather had to go and throw me a curveball... I had gotten used to leaving my coat at home and everything! Curses... Well at least I have these fair-weathered reminders of what's to come, right? Right. So load me up with linens, pastels and boater hats galore, because I'm counting down to when I can finally wear them again! xx

Outfit details: sequin tank- Forever 21; denim jacket- Costa Blanca; linen shorts- Forever 21; bag- vintage Liz Claiborne; patent oxfords- Urban Outfitters; straw boater hat- Forever 21; necklace- House of Harlow; watch- Michael Kors; bracelet- vintage

Silence of the Lamps...

No, this isn't some creepy post where I wear someone else's skin just for funsies — Come on, I said lamps, not lambs, people! Anyway, my friend Cheryl and I stumbled on these plastic lamp installations the other day, and I pretty much forced her to take pictures for me right then and there... What a pal!

We had tons of fun goofing around (one of us may or may not have straddled a lamp), and I was super pumped to wear these loafers outdoors again now that the snow has pretty much melted... Because hey, it's the simple things in life, right? xx

Outfit details: blazer & shorts- H&M; sweater- TNA; necklace & loafers- Forever 21; watch & sunglasses- Michael Kors

Falling Snow...

Sometimes you just can't let the elements dictate your outfit... Call me crazy, but even though it snowed this weekend, I felt like having a shorts moment. I'm just so tired of bundling up lately that I figured a little leg action wouldn't hurt anybody— specially when hidden under a parka! On second thought, maybe I am a little crazy... *shrug*

Happy Monday, honey bunnies! xx
