Just some fake "instagram" shots seeing as I only have a crappy Blackberry. Can't believe my phone is meant to last me 2 years - 6 months in and I have to do a battery pull every morning plus I have three apps [zomg] which is apparently too much. Really? Really?


I think I'll do this every two weeks as I like seeing my life looking way cooler than it actually is, hence the post title. I even considered #myindielife or #myhipsterlife.

Caaaan I interest you in some lovely items in my eBay? Some aztec pieces that will take you from spring to summer, AND a beautiful brand new Topshop fur coat. See here

Be casual: dipped hem dress




dipped hem dress ebay £7, vintage sleeveless denim jacket via lucy, primark plimsolls £2, topman cross necklace £3, isobel kho canvas bag


When I found this dipped hem/hi low/mullet/asymmetric dress on eBay, I actually paused and considered bidding. If this is you now, don't. JUST BUY. I love love love wearing this, it's something that is actually a pleasure to wear [hence the spinning and jumping]. I figured I could only wear it with heels and that a "casual" look would be unattainable - is it reality or vanity that causes bloggers add giant-ass heels to the most casual day outfits?
So anyway. Here's my advice. Grab a mixture of short and long layers, add a bit of denim and shove on whatever shoes you find comfiest.


Expect more on this dress.
And I found a cuter version at New Look - it has awesome triangle cut out detail at the back. 
Gd'night

My excuse for buying this despite being broke is that I needed it for a costume party to be a witch. Ha.
