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!

Getting Festival Ready : Coachella Crochet

I Am Wearing : Crochet Waistcoat - c/o PB&J Boutique White Maxi Dress - Forever 21 Ankle Boots - TopShop Bangles - Primark Fedora - TK Maxx Sunglasses - Asos
Summer is upon us and festival season is kicking off - with Glastonbury firmly on my mind (30 days and counting), and with this beautiful Mystree waistcoat called the Coachella Crochet Vest, it would be rude not to add a festival vibe to this outfit!
Hands up who is festival-ing it up this summer?
I need to get outfit planning for Glasto pretty soon! I am so excited - this summer is going to be a good one!
Happy Bank Holiday Monday Folks

Swap Shop Bounty

I Am Wearing :  Top - Swap Shop Fedora - Tk Maxx - customised with Primark headband Skirt - New Look Boots - TopShop sale Bag - Primark Necklace - Forever 21 A couple of weeks back I attended VoucherCodes Most Wanted swap shop event, (check out my blog post here), and was lucky enough to pick up some super cute items! The folks over at Most Wanted got in touch with me this week and asked me to style one of my pieces for Summer with my existing wardrobe. My absolute fav swap shop steal has to be this boho smock top - perfect for Summer AND Winter. To style this for winter just add a heavy knit cardi, a fur stole and swap the booties for a chunky boot with warm socks! - Oh and you could re-customise the fedora with a feather?   I am also really pleased with my TopShop sale find in these leather booties! They are so comfy and will take me through to next season perfectly - at £25 whats not to LOVE?! Have a great week MWAH

What I Wore To The Look Show

I Am Wearing :
Fedora Hat - TK Maxx Army Jacket - Vintage Khaki Shirt - Zara Owl T-shirt - Primark Maxi Skirt - H&M Studded Boots - TopShop Necklace - Primark Bucket Bag - Goddiva
 The Look Show was soooo much fun! I am still sifting through all of my photos and videos will pop them up soon!  - Sorry for being such a lame blogger I am totally gonna try and spend some more time on my blog - I need more hours in the day!!
The lovely people at Goddiva sent me over this studded bag, and boy am I in love!!! It has 2 compartments inside so it is easy to find ur purse - which is always a problem in bucket bags! It has 2 zip pockets too, which are handy for your Oyster card and girls stuff! This is another item that you guys will be seeing a lot of this season! ;-)
Off to see Lydia Bright's new collection tonight - pretty excited about it as I think she is by far the most fashionable girl from the TOWIE TV programme, so I am hoping she has something fabulous to offer us! Will blog about it asap - if you follow me on Instagram @rainbowsnfairyd then you will see some previews tonight!
Hope you have all had a great week!
