Velvet Rucksack

tee: olive, skirt and boots: primark, belt and rucksack: vintage, rabbit pendant: dutty, sunglasses: h&m

Used my iPhone again for these pictures, I lugged my camera all the way to London this weekend only to find out that for some reason it didn't charge properly the night before! So annoying. I spent my weekend strolling around Camden and Brick Lane too so I had so many interesting things to take photos of! Of course I spent far too much money, I have another pair of Levis (they're pink, amazing!) and the coolest hat from the Rokit boutique. I also picked up some easy jeans and disco pants in black from the AA flea market (£34 each!) but I was so flustered in there I accidentally bought the disco pants in size XXS, they do fit but I'm not sure if they are too tight, hm.

This outfit is really casual and was perfect to pop on for a very long day of browsing the market stalls in the sunshine. I went to Olive in Cheltenham last week and bought this tee for just £10 (in blue here), I love Olive and always splash out when I go home as it's one of my favourite stores. The skirt was another bargain, I think it was £6 from Primark. It's such a nice fit- they have it in grey too so I may have to buy that as well... 

I was having a nightmare taking these pictures as it was so windy and the last picture made me lol so I thought I'd share it with you :) ps. my roots need doing badlyyy.

Cosmic Sky

top & shoes: new look, skirt: missguided, jacket: topshop

I haven't blogged in what feels like foreverrrrr, I went to Outlook festival in Croatia which was AMAZING, it was a whirlwind of incredible DJs, insane stages, crazy boat parties, far too much drink, sunshine and tropical storms- rain, thunder, lightening... the lot! Since being back I've had an extreme case of festival blues anddddd I haven't had a proper laptop and no longer have photoshop (does any one use anything else to edit the pixel size of their pictures?) I'm using my old laptop at the moment but everything takes so much longer than normal, fingers crossed I'm getting a mac before uni starts again eeeeeee.

Last weekend I went camping in Sidmouth with my mum and sister, we had a really nice chilled weekend charity shopping, reading books, swimming in the sea and stargazing- I saw my first shooting star yayyy. I feel like I need to get back to reality now, uni starts soon and I have LOADS to sort out- started doing my room this week my yellow walls are now 'ivory cream' after 5 hours of painting and I can finally start to unpack my clothes and put them away properly, rather than using the floordrobe like I have been for the past month ha. I'm going to have a really big sort out and probably do a blog sale or eBay lots of the clothes that I never wear, so keep an eye out :)

My lovely intern bought me this skirt as a leaving present alongside the rosine skull stud tee. Best presents ever. I'm a little at a loss of what to do job wise now I've finished placement, although I'm going to be at uni I need a part-time job- don't really know where to begin... ah I've rambled on enough now, going to try and catch up on everyone's blogs asap and get back into a routine of regular blogging!

PS- These pictures were taken on my iPhone so sorry if the quality isn't great!

Krooked Camo

camo jacket: topshop, skirt & headband: h&m, boots: primark, top: vintage - the dandelion, bag: charity shop

Firstly, congratulations to Helen who won my Raspberrygrape giveaway- hope you like your body chain (so jealous); and thank you to every one who entered.

Waah camo jacket, hello. I know you can pick these up for super cheap, (Hayley got hers for £1 from a carboot sale, amazing) but I couldn't wait to find a bargain and bought this from Topshop, £43.20 with student discount, I did resist the studded one though, which was identical but an extra £10 for a few studs... 

I love the camo trend and although every person and their dogs (...yes dogs) are now wearing it I'm happily jumping on the bandwagon and embracing it fully, camowhore.

I'm in love with this bag, I picked it up at a charity shop in Monmouth over a year ago, it's Russell & Bromley and only cost a few pound! Unfortunately I've used it so much that it's dying now :( 

Apparently I went for an extremely classy look here, battered bag, ripped tights and chipped nails... I've let myself go aha.

This is my last post for a while now, I finish my placement tomorrow meaning I'm laptopless until further notice and am off on holiday Monday- Venice and then Croatia for Outlook festival!!!!!!!!

 I'm literally too excited for words, Phaeleh on a boat... in Croatia... ahhhhhhhhhhh.

I'll be back soon :)

Golden Flicker

top: charity shop, disco shorts: glamorous, headband: h&m, jewellery: miss selfridge

 I couldn't resist buying the pewter disco shorts from Glamorous the other week, at under half the price of the ones form AA how can you say no?-  as far as dupes go I think these are look really similar in look and fit (yes these show off your entire bum too!!), the main difference I noticed was in the material, these are a lot silkier and less stiff. Personally I think they are a great dupe and the value for money is great- especially with 20% off (GLAMOROUS20). I'm a little too scared to wear them without tights at the moment in this country but I'm off to Croatia next week and think it's definitely going to be acceptable to wear them tight-free out there.

Apologies for the over the top mix of gold and silver in this post, my top (charity shop find £3!!!) has both colours in so I thought I would embrace it for my whole outfit. Also, I'm wearing a headband for probably the first time ever! I decided it was time I started wearing them and even though I don't think they really suit me I am going to persevere until I like them on me...

Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win a Raspberrygrape item of your choice, it ends tomorrow at midnight- you can enter here.

Back Homee

I've noticed recently that lots of the girls from home have blogs and I thought I'd share them with you :) I love reading my friends blogs, when you know someone in person you can imagine the tone etc that they're writing in. Of course my opinion on them would be biased sooo I thought I'd let them to sum up their blogs for you- they're all so different and definitely worth checking out.

Emma from What's Up Buttercup? says: 

I blog about my life and things I love. It's great to be a part of an online community and also track memories online so I have something to look back on. Getting the occasional freebie makes it worthwhile :)

Jess from Hello Savage says: 

I blog at work so Hello Savage is my personal space to speak about what I want- my little online home, where I keep all the things I find on my journey around the internet. 

Lucie from L is for Lucie says: 

I think too much; so I use my blog as a platform to express my opinions on many different topics from current affairs, religion, science and politics, to celebrity culture and fashion. It's basically a way for me to let out my rantings in order to spare my friends and family from having to humour me!

Jess from Big Girls Blouse says: 
I want to create a beautiful world full of all that i feel, think, learn and love.
