Beaded top

Hello all! I got back yesterday from a holiday to Mexico, hence the 2 week disappearance. I had a lovely time there - mainly lazing around on the beach and eating enormous amounts of food...what's not to love!? and we even went a bit cultural and visited Chichen Itza (the seventh wonder of the world... only 6 more to go now!), Coba temple (we were able to walk climb up this to see the view of the jungle) and swam in the Gran Cenote (a sort of underground cave with water). Unfortunately I never actually got around to taking any outfit posts while I was there (something which I regret) so have no Mexican/holiday outfits to post. However, I've missed blogging a lot so decided to jump right in with another outfit post today. 

I've worn this skirt a few times already on my blog (most recently here, or way back here and here) as it's definitely one of my favourites. I've made a lot of use out of it since I bought it last summer and I'm sure I'll use it a lot in the future as well. I paired it with just an old plain white t-shirt. I'd quite like to experiment with plain t-shirts a bit more as often I just opt for a buttoned up shirt, and I've already started coming up with a few ideas of ways to style it. I'm also wearing a vest/waistcoat/cardigan thing which has beaded flowers on it. I was given it by my Mum when she no longer wanted it. I saw it in my wardrobe the other day and decided it was time for it's blog debut!
How was your summer? What is your favourite thing about my outfit?

Hello Friday, you gorgeous thing you... Even though I'll be chipping away at deadlines all weekend, I'm oh-so very happy to see you. Have you been working out? Because you're looking really good... You make me want to sleep in, drink iced coffee and gallivant with you while wearing stripes and white denim... Love always, Vickie. xx

Last night Kastles and I took a little trip to Ikea (fun!) to pick up a couple things and grab a quick dinner... The light was perfect, so we stopped to snap some pics before loading up on furniture and decorative bits (I'll explain why later). This woman stopped to stare and make awkward comments, but we didn't care —I think we're pretty much immune to it by now! ;)

In other news, I just realized that I'm pretty much head to toe Forever 21 in this look... How does this keep happening to me?! I think I need to tone it down and shop local for a while — this F21 business is getting out of control!

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! xx

No joke: I've been wearing this vest non-stop since I bought it last week... Seriously. It doesn't matter if I'm wearing a dress, pants or even pyjamas, this vest is in constant rotation. What can I say, the heart wants what it wants... And in this case, it's a wookie vest.
