Amsterdam: View from a bridge

topshop tunic £22, asos brown leather "flutter" sandals £9, old denim jacket & belt, charity shop brown leather satchel £4, miss selfridge silver collar £3.25

Some outfit photos from the first day of Amsterdam - I think I'm in love. The general vibe is very casual, chilled and the people trendy. I was surprised by the canal network - I'd thought that there was one "famous" bridge but turns out there are hundreds, ha. On Day 1 we started off learning the way of the trams, finding our hotel (slightly outside the city) followed by a light evening wander, where we found the beautiful Vondelpark. Turns out the Dutch eat early, but we luckily managed to find a pizza/pasta place. Expect more...

Shop the eBay shop. I'm feeling VERY out of pocket.

Oh and I think these sandals are a very good alternative to the Topshop "Jesus" sandals - and half the price.

A Touch of Fluro

h&m floral dress £4, brothers cream blazer, black satchel bag h&m via charity shop £2.50, asos hippie charm neon necklace £1.50, new look suede moccasins £25 

This dress was a steal from H&M online - long delivery, but when you get 4 items for £11 it's so worth it! 

Break from revision to get a Sicilian lemonade frappichino from Caffe Nero. So glad that the  sunny weather has hit me on a week offff from exams! Working on my tan as it is currently non-existant (not for long hehe). Shout out to the lovely lasses, Izzy and Phoebe who visited me today for sun, pizza and ice lollies. And to my boyfriend, I'm very proud of my trainee photographer :) Even though he may not be the best apprentice!

Good news: lots of shorts coming to my shop soon! Let summer commence

Livin' la Vida Loca

What I wore for Mexican with the girls.. And of course we had to wear sombreros.

The restaurant had a great playlist formed of Ricky Martin and the Macarena...

And who can resist nachos and cheese?

Of course, I would have loved to have just worn the denim jacket, but, naturally it was nearly negative degrees so it simple wasn't an option... Cue the piling of cardigans, hoodies and coats - it's all in the layers. My various layers weren't around at the time of these photos, so I challenge you to imagine. I can't wait till summer.

I'm already planning my uniform, a good cream sun hat paired with gold jewellery and pastel coloured dresses. What are you going to be living in this summer?

Into the garden, under the ivy

I went to an evil themed party recently, I went as a vampire (original, I know) and I've got a Moulin Rouge themed party next - my outfit will be pretty much the same but with more things feathery, glittery and red. And minus the tears of blood from my eyes.

Under the leaves,
Away from the party,
Right to the rose,
Right to the white rose
For me.

Not sure I like this post, its a bit too messy for my liking...
I've eventually got round to showing you this dress I made. It's a bit of a basic outfit, floral dress and a leather jacket (or should I say "pleather"?).
Really basic sewing: rectangle of Laura Ashley fabric, hemmed and then sewn to form a tube. Which is why it doesn't fit great, but there wasn't much fabric to work with. It was just leftover curtain material in my house.
