Black, White & Pillar Box Red

I Am Wearing :  Black V-neck Tee - Asos Tall Striped Full Midi Skirt - New Look Leather Biker Jacket - Miss Selfridge Lace Slipons - F&F Sunglasses - New Look Necklace - Accessorize
This is my 5th and final look from my 5 days in F&F footwear and it's probably my fav shoot because my little Captain Bob gets to feature along side my monochrome lace slip ons.
He is the cutest little thing and just loves having his photo taken! 
I spotted this adorable New Look skirt on one of the press girls at their AW15 press day - she looked so beautiful in it I literally left the venue and walked straight into the Oxford Street store and bought it. 
This happens all of the time at press days - the press staff are always so well turned out and always reping their own brand that you cant help but leave with wardrobe envy - and a shopping list as long as your arm!
I hope you have enjoyed my F&F footwear features, have a great weekend darlings.

Fringe Loafers

I Am Wearing :
Sleeveless Blazer - River Island Cricket Jumper - OASAP Black Culottes - ASOS Sunglasses - New Look Fringe Loafers - F&F
 Day 2 of my 5 days in F&F shoes feature and I have opted for these cute fringe loafers - now down to just £10 these nude shoes will go with every colour in your wardrobe.
I love wearing culottes - they have the floaty freedom of a skirt without the worry of a "knicker flash" when you are running about town or sitting cross-legged on your chair at work! 
The sleeveless blazer is a big hit this season and a great way to keep warm and stay cool at the same time, something every girl in the UK struggles to do in the ever changing Great British Summer weather.
Happy Friyay darlings, I hope the weekend brings you lots of sunshine and happiness

Autumn Boho

I Am Wearing :   Green Fedora - TK Maxx Cream Cardigan - Zara Boho Midi Dress - c/o Bonmarché  Ankle Boots - TopShop Sunglasses - Moschino via TK Maxx
So I was sent a "secret surprise package" put together just for me, when it arrived I must say I really was surprised to find a Bonmarché dress inside. I my mind Bonmarché is a store for mature women (my 70 year old Aunt shops in there)  so naturally when I saw this cute purple boho dress I was like "say whaaaaat?". I popped it on and against all of my preconceived ideas of what a mature ladies store bought dress would look like on me - it turned out to be a pretty sweeet dress! The only fault I could find was the buttons down the front don't open and I would have liked to have popped the top button to give the dress more of a gypsy boho look. 
The lesson I have learnt this week is - not to judge a shop by its demographic - LOL I am such a loser - who says things like that - oh yeah me!
Anyways girls it's time to try new stores - you NEVER know what cute little gypsy girl dress is hiding in that shop you never go in!
Happy shopping my lovely readers!

I just got finished putting together my Glastonbury 2014 play list - my friends and I each pick 3 songs that made our festival epic, then I put them all together in one play list, burn them a disc each and then re-live the festival whenever I want! These Monster N-Tune headphones are the perfect addition to my "tech wardrobe" coz a girls gotta look cute whilst rocking out to her fav tunes on public transport like a crazy person right?!!
Apart from being "really really good looking" these headphones are some of the most commuter friendly on the market - you can crank up the bass and your fellow tube passengers wont hear a thing. Features include Music Share portal to share the sound with your friends and Control Talk which allows you to take calls whilst using the headphones.
Thanks For Reading
