When I very first spotted the Big Bird Bombers hit the Charlotte Simone website I thought they would 100% have to be a 'splurge' buy and that I should wait a while to see if I really wanted one as mich as I thought just because they are a little on the pricey side<i> (especially when you already own as many coats as I do)</i>. But as the months passed, I still found myself swooning over the jackets on social media and visiting the CS website on pretty much a weekly basis. Then just a few weeks ago I noticed that Charlotte Simone was having a HUGE summer sale meaning I could bag this beauty of a coat for myself with an amazing 30% off. </div>

Although I loved literally every colour the Big Bird Bombers are made in, I went for this stunning blue & grey combo<i> (even though it was pretty hard to not go for the pink). </i>I thought these colours would be perfect for the cooler month especially to style up with a simple t-shirt & jeans for days when I feel a little less 'glam' so to say (Sunday'zzzzz). </div>

For this outfit I wore my new bell bottom jeans from ASOS, a simple white tee, gold body chain for a hint of dainty detail & my Stan Smiths too. I am so glad I managed to get my hands on this fluffy coat of dreams as I just know it's going to be one of those pieces I keep in my wardrobe forever! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm actually pretty gutted that the UK is having a spell of sunshine ATM as I can't wear it all day, everyday.. <i>(Pretty sure I'll regret saying that when it's none stop raining haha).</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you gone all out & splurged big money on a dream item recently? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or have something just have been eyeing up for a while and just can't stop thinking about? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me know! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well & having a great week so far. </div>

As you can see from the images obviously my DIY is not an excact copy of the Miu Miu pumps but I really loved the red ribbon bows already on my bought pumps so wanted to keep that there.</div>

July, 11th and it is still pouring down with rain here in the UK.. when will the sunshine appear?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure about you but I'm so sick of the rainy weather, of course we have had some sunny days but the majority of the '<i>summer days</i>' so far have been none stop rain.. So what do we do when we're feeling blue? Shopping of course! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've just got back from a little mini shopping trip & bought quite a few new blues pieces which made me think.. Monday blues, lets make a moodboard! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each of the seriously beautiful items are all via. Polyvore and each most definitely on my dream wish list! I seriously love the dresses with their stunning colours and tassel detailing. I'd team each dress with super chic shoes and a quirky bag as shown above, I particularly love the Charlotte Olympia Kitty Boots, a girl can dream right!? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How has your Monday been so far? </div>

I never thought I'd see the day I was a fan of ripped jeans but.. here I am, none stop wearing them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even ripped the holes in these ones myself..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love styling more 'edgy' pieces <i>so to say, </i>such as ripped jeans, black jeans, leather etc. with super girly items just to make them suit my style a little more, so of course I went for this brand new pastel pink top I bought from Topshop Boutique just last week. I love how the peplum is just on one side & of course I was sold by the colour. I also added my favourite velvet leopard shoes and fluffy jacket for a touch of texture too! </div>

Okay, I know even starting to write this post that it could be one that sparks a little conversation as obviously the use of real fur within fashion always does. During my university course I focused a lot of my work on the use of fur which meant looking into it in a little more detail. Now I for one absolutely LOVE everything about Fendi as a brand and of course I'm a huge fan of their amazing Bag Bug collections as well as everything that goes along side them..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjlh7JfcFgoKTuc-JFeuaJFdp3ZojUkaoxrMkBvg36ypKfGOtPVmySh1y_uYu4MAHS_QZWGXRHVTKjKOJgvGre5dt69v2ZT2NsoVrVGrmPKYOrmqaLo5UIRmcC2LGb7BfSXYvu_RgZ3gM/s1600/Fendi.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjlh7JfcFgoKTuc-JFeuaJFdp3ZojUkaoxrMkBvg36ypKfGOtPVmySh1y_uYu4MAHS_QZWGXRHVTKjKOJgvGre5dt69v2ZT2NsoVrVGrmPKYOrmqaLo5UIRmcC2LGb7BfSXYvu_RgZ3gM/s640/Fendi.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But even as I was piecing together this image on Polyvore to initially post as a wishlist / dreamy accessories post, I was looking at the items & their prices and thinking to myself, why real fur? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are a whole heap of questions that come to my mind when thinking of real fur, to name a few - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Is it cheaper to use? </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Do people see it as a luxury as they did decades ago?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Is it seen as a sign of class / money wearing fur?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>If people knew exactly what happens to the animals for their fur, would they still buy them? </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Do people just prefer to not think of it & appreciate the product on it's looks & not actually what it's made from? </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Why is there such a huge debate about fur & not leather, when they are both made from animal skin / bodies? </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> </i>Like I said, I have a lot of questions.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are question's that I want to look into & find out for myself but I thought this post could be good & maybe see what others have to say? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want to leave a comment about your opinion of this or can answer any of my questions, that would be great! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you're all well & having a great weekend so far! </div>

I was having a think all about my blog the other day & thought although I post mainly about what I'm wearing it could be pretty nice to share a little look into my 'personal space' ..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty obsessed when it comes to buying homeware & will pick up things from anywhere and everywhere when I have the chance. I also have a lot to thank my friends for when it comes to cute/quirky pieces for my bedroom from previous Birthday & Christmas presents, quick hint - they know I love anything pineapple themed haha!</div>

First off.. Pretty peonies, pugs & of course pineapples! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This little section is located on my work desk in the room, quite a lot of the little pieces have been gifts including the green Sunnydip Pineapple candle (<i>that smells of the most delicious pineapple sweets) </i>as well as the gold pineapple pot too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My boyfriend got me the two little pugs (<i>which are actually salt & pepper pots) </i>& I picked up the NYC card whilst there last month.. Of course I had to display a photobooth pictures & my Miu Miu sunglasses as well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Moving on to my make up / getting ready area.. I keep quite a bit of my make up on this vintage silver cake stand as well as a few retro looking pots which have my brushed/lip liners etc. in! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also have the amazing pink pineapple pot which was another present which I keep all my eyeliners, mascara's & eyebrow tools in.I then have another vintage cake stand, this time glass with some jewellery pieces laid out on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the images you can see the rest of my bits & pieces such as perfumes, my polaroid camera and my other pair of Miu Miu sunglasses, once again that stunning pink velvet case of dreams has to be on show for sure!</div>

Clothes, Clothes, Clothes! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I keep all of my clothing items on each of the two rails, although they may need a little dust from time to time.. I really love having all of my clothe visible & almost on display so I can see and choose what to wear each day. I also have recently started sticking each of my polaroid images onto my plain white door, I had a whole heap of photos with nothing to do with them so I thought why not pop them up and see them daily. As well as the photos of course I have a little bit of fluff including my two Charlotte Simone scarfs, my pink mongolian fur collar from Topshop & my new super cute fluffy cap which I bought from dreamy fashion blogger <a href="http://pieandfash.com/" target="_blank">Pie & Fash</a>!</div>

The last little section I'm going to share is.. Books & Bunnies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always love know what books people keep near their bedside whether its for ascetic reasons or actually just their fave books. One of mine is most definitely Alexa Chung's IT, even after a few years of it been out now. I also love mine so much as it's actually signed after meeting her last year, making it super special to me. I also have a few fashion books too as well as a Jo Malone candle which was a Valentines present from my boyfriend! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rabbit lamp is 100% my favourite thing in my entire bedroom, I've had it for almost two years now after spotting it in Debenhams the first ever time I met up with my boyfriend after we met on holiday. I never bought it at the time but two weeks later I just had to go back as I couldn't stop thinking about it! I knew it would be a piece I would treasure and know I will keep it no matter where I live!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have a particular way you like to lay out your personal space or happy to have things any old way as long as they are there? Also, let me know what your most treasured item is as I love knowing all about peoples favourite pieces, especially if they have stories behind them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well! </div>

In my last post I was a few days away from jetting off to the big apple for a city break... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New York was everything I thought it would be & more, so amazing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest I was a little nervous about going mainly because of how people say you can't stop for a second without getting trampled on haha, but luckily enough I never came face to face with a situation like that <i>(maybe Times Square actually, but other than that, all safe & sound!).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a city I actually found New York to feel one of the safest & most friendly places I had ever visited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course the obvious super tourist trips had to happen.. Statue of Liberty was top of the list for me as I had seen so many amazing photographs & just could not wait to get snapping some of my own!</div>

We were super lucky with the weather for most of the days which made me one very happy tourist! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favourite, <i>not so typical tourist </i>hot spots was the CUPCAKE ATM machine at Sprinkles Bakery just opposite Bloomingdales.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After spotting this gem on Instagram & my friend telling me all about it, I just knew I had to go & let me tell you the red velvet cupcake did not disappoint, so delicious! </div>

As I also mentioned, the hotel I stayed in was just off of 5th Avenue which was perfect for me just not so much for my bank balance / holiday budget. On the very last day I caved and treated myself to a new pair of Miu Miu sunglasses, as I already have the green glitter ones I thought I would keep it classy and go for all black with simple gold details. I love them so very much & see them as I kind of reminder of how much of a great time I had in NYC too! </div>

This Saturday, me and my boyfriend headed to London for a belated birthday trip for him, we went not to long ago (<i>the beginning of the year</i>) so decided we would have a more kind of tourist day out and do a few different things, these including the London Eye and a trip to Shoreditch and Brick Lane, before a spot of shopping in Oxford Circus too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was such a lovely day, one of those ones that you never want to end, plus we were very lucky with the weather too as it was lovely sunshine most of the day, with the odd patch of rain showers too (<i>it is England after all</i>). Although we didn't take any full blog style outfit images, we did take quite a few photo's which I thought I would share.. </div>

As well as the amazing graffiti down near Brick Lane, it's also know for it's bagel shops, markets and of course all things vintage. We headed in to a small indoor market and found these amazing pineapple flowers.. Of course I had to buy them but they did get a little squashed after being carried around London for almost ten hours haha. They are still going strong though and are currently placed in my rose gold vase near the window! </div>

On Sunday I wore my Alexa for M&S Eliza dress for the very first time, it was super sunny & warm weather-wise meaning no tights and instead just a simple pair of patent black boots! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually really like the look of ankle boots & dress with no tights, just bare legs now. I used to find the combination would make me look really strange height/body proportion wise, I'm not sure if it was because of where my boots stopped etc. but I'm very much a fan of the look now! </div>

Of course we all seen this blog post coming.. Archive by Alexa! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Wednesday's post I briefly wrote about ordering the Eliza Dress from the Alexa archive collection for Marks and Spencer & so thought it could be nice to piece together a little post fully devoted to this. Although I did only order the one dress online, I may of made a trip to the closest Marks & Spencer store near by and bought the Harry Blouse yesterday.. </div>

As the Marks & Spencer's closest to me is pretty big I did initially think they may have a few of the Alexa pieces in stock however when I got there they actually had the whole collection with so so many sizes left. When I was paying at the till the lady said that they had received double stock of the Alexa pieces and had placed all the remaining stock out that afternoon so once it was gone, it was 100% gone.. </div>

In terms of what I think of the collection as a whole, I actually think it's really great quality & fits really lovely although I have seen a few posts on social media of people not agreeing with this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The prices I also think worked out really well as they were pretty much just normal M&S prices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've also spotted some of the items listed on eBay already for literally double their original prices, </div>

I'm not completely sure if any of the items will still be available online at the M&S website as you're reading this, but right this second whilst I'm writing, they currently have a lot left and a whole range of sizes.

I thought I would pick out some of my very fave pieces on Polyvore at the moment & I can't even lie, I am 1000% in love with every single item above! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm thinking embroidered floral's, frills, lace, pastels and of course heels and sunglasses for this wonderful sunny season.. </div>

Today also marks the day Alexa Chung's Archive for Marks & Spencer's went live.. </div>

I was obviously super excited to get shopping & was logged into the website bright and early this morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I was pretty close to buying the dreamy pastel pink Harry shirt which Alexa is wearing in the image above, I decided to just stick with the one item I'd been swooning over since first spotting it.. </div>

Hello Eliza dress! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's safe to say, I will be eagerly awaiting by my post box for it to arrive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you get your hands on any of the Alexa collection? If so let me know what you picked out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a very exciting few weeks coming up in terms of trips (<i>which of course means outfit photos</i>), next weekend I am heading to London and then the following week I'm jetting off to New York City.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you can imagine I'm so so excited and already pretty much planned every single one of my outfits! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to post all about them once I'm back! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well & getting to enjoy some of this lovely weather too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great day everybody!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From faux fur to marabou feathers, I'm still crazy for any form of fluffy clothing at the moment so I just couldn't wait to share this amazing feathery jacket..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few months ago I spotted a marabou feather jacket pretty much identical to this in Topshop <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BAj4pjHB1Yi/?taken-by=birdbloom_" target="_blank">(you can see it here)</a>, naturally I took it to the changing rooms and swooned over it for a good few minutes before deciding £150 was just way to pricey for a coat that wasn't going to keep me very warm at all. A couple of weeks later and of course I still had this fluffy coat on my mind aswell as pinning endless oufits that the coat would go with so well! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These Pinterest outfits of dreams in mind I thought why not take a little peek on eBay and see if there was anything similar to the Topshop coat.. of course there was <i>(in a whole load of different colours too)</i> and for £30 and around a months wait later here it is, fresh from a plane journey via. China. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also managed to pick up this denim cut out jumpsuit in the ASOS sale and I'm so happy I did, I think its going to be a real wardrobe staple this spring as its just really easy to throw on and style easily too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back to the fluff.. it actually scares me a bit to think we can see something on our computer screens, click buy and it will literally arrive on your doorstep from anywhere in the world! Technology is pretty crazy when it comes to shopping. </div>

Charlotte Simone.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The most dreamy & amazing faux fur accessories around in my opinion. So if your boyfriend not only knows about the brand to begin with but actually manages to find the one you've had your eye on for months and buy you it, he's a good egg right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've loved the Charlotte Simone popsicles for I'd say at least a year and a few months now but after spotting one in Liberty for almost half price I did the whole "oh I don't need it" and as soon as I got home had the instant 'I NEED it, WHY did I not buy it' regret. With Valentines day coming up my boyfriend was so so thoughtful and after a lot of favours and phone calls to Liberty somehow managed to get me the pink popsicle!! As well as a black cuff too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two Charlotte Simone's and I get to have them early too which is kind of like a present in itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it means such a lot when somebody goes out of their way to get you something really special, even something not expensive (<i>unlike this little faux fur piece</i>) but knowing somebody has gone out of their way for you is one of the nicest feelings in the whole world. I did almost cry when I found out how he had got me them but held back so he didn't think I was completely weird crying over a little bit of fluff ha ha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm probably never going to take my Charlotte Simone scarves off until at least summer so lets see just how many outfit posts they appear in..</div>

On Sunday we headed to a little place that was full of tea rooms and pastel painted buildings, we were only there for an hour or so, but after bacon & maple syrup pancakes and the BEST black forest hot chocolate I've ever had, we were more than ready to come home. That was of course after a few outfit photographs and me look extremely awkward as people walked past me taking them (<i>naturally)</i>..</div>

If you have somebody willing to go out of their way for you be sure to hold on to them, even if it's just them picking up your favourite sweets after you having a bad day, people like that are hard to come buy whether it's a friend, a family member, a boyfriend etc. Make sure they know you're grateful & appreciate it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is fed up of me saying thank you already and it's only been a week or so ha ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is there anything pretty expensive you have on your wishlist and are saving up for at the moment?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know it.. The pink room of dreams! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now if you have no idea what I'm on about then let me share with you Sketch London, I originally found out about this wonderful place through Instagram & once I had discovered all about it I just could not stop thinking about it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sketch is a restaurant/art gallery in which each of the rooms are themed differently.. for example there is a rainforest room with stunning bird images and trees here, here and everywhere. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The parlour which is full of quirky items, colourful walls (&some seriously great hot chocolate) and of course the gallery which is currently designed by David Shrigley.. and a whole heap of pink! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you'd like to see better images and find out more about Sketch, you can find their website <a href="https://sketch.london/">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you'd think out of all these rooms nobody would be too fussed about the toilets right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wrong! The toilets are literally unbelievable as strange as that may sound! Rather than explaining, I'll just pop a few images below.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Egg shaped cubicles, that play music to you as you wee.. What more could you possibly want after a spot of afternoon cake in a huge pink room! As we went at Christmas time there were tiny snow covered Christmas trees placed on top of each egg, but usually there are super cute ducks in nests placed above them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously I am so so happy I got to visit this place, it was so amazing and I'd definitely go back <i>(I'm not too sure my boyfriend would be so keen on that idea though, I think he has heard enough about how much I want to live at Sketch haha).</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello & a very <i>(tiny bit late)</i> Happy New Year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I don't want to be one of these people that does the whole<i> 'new year.. new me' situation</i> but a whole new year is definitely something I see as a fresh start, whatever that may be within.. work, family, friends, hobbies etc. But that being said a fresh start can be any single day no matter if its the 1st, 3rd, even 29th day of the month! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I want this to be the year were I plan (<i>&actually manage</i>) to blog every single week and stick to it but that's something that shall take time I guess, so for now I thought I'd start by sharing an outfit I wore over Christmas.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think peter pan collars, leopard print & blue velvet! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpRkjO8l7UcDFd0W_fBN3YgODZi6GzmVnrO0acY1LChG5gR8IamR890GA3bmCoFY4pF5HPd9khCZODHwITfUqC9NuIeU9i6_036u1V2BierxC_fvVTp7L2of2atPzZ7jT_8YwRgzV7tU/s1600/IMG_2684.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpRkjO8l7UcDFd0W_fBN3YgODZi6GzmVnrO0acY1LChG5gR8IamR890GA3bmCoFY4pF5HPd9khCZODHwITfUqC9NuIeU9i6_036u1V2BierxC_fvVTp7L2of2atPzZ7jT_8YwRgzV7tU/s640/IMG_2684.JPG" width="562" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
peter pan collar shirt | charity shop | £3.00</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
blue velvet skirt | topshop | £30.00</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fluffy bag | asos | £30.00</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
leopard print lace up shoes | topshop | £70.00</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wore this outfit for a few drinks on Christmas Eve & really do love the hem of the skirt as it is almost a wave effect. This skirt was one of those items were you buy it and a few days later, <i>ta daa</i> there it is in the sale.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Annoying but I guess you've just got to think at least you have it in the right size & aren't desperately squeezing yourself into a size smaller in the changing rooms because you 'have to have it" or "it's only £15.00" .. <i>we've all been there, trust me!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you manage to pick up any sale bargains? If so, I'd love to know! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well & look out for my next post, I'm super excited to share where I went last week, it includes ALOT of pink! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay so, this is a post I can safely say I never thought I'd be writing, I mean ALEXA CHUNG!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuesday just gone, Alexa was in Liverpool (&Manchester the following day) promoting her brand new Snowglobe nail varnish. To be honest I didn't have the slightest idea about her visiting until one of my friends tagged me in a photograph of Alexa last week. I couldn't actually believe she was visiting Liverpool so of course I headed along, with my friend too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the night Alexa was to be signing the brand new nail varnishes boxes however being the fan girl I am, I took my pretty little pink IT book along just on the off chance that she would sign that instead.. Ta DAAA, she did! She was honestly one of the nicest most genuine people & just as stunning in person. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She even commented saying I looked lovely which was quite the compliment coming from her! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Bq1riHQ0Wj3ujfdcsYzH8KZIbxtTvPfQu61JsSp736mEScLIBQvBuyeLt0q-u4MO5TGPnQ58Mr6WcPxgyJi803lsBgMwhpltlqJ68FN0CC8rFf5QyPOrrQLCAGcG-CLbtz8oLu-4yx8/s1600/IMG_2203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Bq1riHQ0Wj3ujfdcsYzH8KZIbxtTvPfQu61JsSp736mEScLIBQvBuyeLt0q-u4MO5TGPnQ58Mr6WcPxgyJi803lsBgMwhpltlqJ68FN0CC8rFf5QyPOrrQLCAGcG-CLbtz8oLu-4yx8/s640/IMG_2203.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always remember being about 12/14 (the days of Myspace) and coming across the image of her in the cotton blue&white top&geeky glasses on, I had no idea who Alexa was from that image but it didn't take me long to become obsessed! I think she stands for a lot of positivity within the fashion world proving that it's not all about how much flesh you show but more about how you dress& what people will think of you for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my most favourite quotes by her is this one.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">My gripe is that a lot of young girls aspire to be super sexy and I don’t see why. What is attractive or alluring is not necessarily how much flesh you bare, but how good your brain is, or how much charm you have. Fake tan, fake tits - this porn thing has become embedded in our culture. It’s a shame. Maybe it’s because I’m a country girl, but I hate it when women only dress for men. I think it’s more exciting to reveal less. Maybe wear layers of smocks and then have super-sexy underwear on. Dress like a pilgrim on the outside and a whore underneath.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">— Alexa Chung</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
&something I most definitely live by! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whilst at the Harvey Nichols, I picked up this BLUE, yes blue MAC lipstick (named Matte Royal) that I have had my eye on for a while. I've only tried it out once so far but I actually really like it. </div>

I think because it has hints of purple within the blue colour it's a little more Autumn/Winter and less Joey from friends! (thanks Soph haha). I'm sure I'll post an instagram image of this quirky blue addition soon enough.</div>

So of course, me along with the rest of the world wouldn't turn down a pair of Chanel trainers if given half the chance, however it's not to likely that a chance like that is going to happen any time soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After last years SS15 Fashion Week everybody seemed to go wild for the tweedy numbers from Chanel, but with a <i>oh so extravagant</i> price tag a girl can only dream right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unless, like me it's not so important as to whether the well known Chanel label is actually wrote inside the shoe..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have no idea what I am on about then here's a few pictures of the original Chanel running shoes..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not 100% sure if I'll even get round to wearing these pastel dupes but I spotted them and they instantly reminded me of the Chanel ones so I thought for under a tenner, why not pick them up as a just in case. Obviously these shoes aren't an exact copy& to be fair Tesco probably haven't even realised they are quite similar to Chanel but after swooning over the originals for so long they definitely caught my eye whilst doing my food shop, haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing with these shoes is, I kind of feel like the colouring makes them quite tricky to style but I'm going to keep them in my wardrobe and hopefully the perfect outfit will come to me soon enough. All in all, a great bargain purchase in my eyes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think of dupes, or even just these ones? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you to much of a label lover to ever buy a dupe? </div>

Talk about a whole lot of Topshop, do you ever not realise just how much of one brand you're actually wearing.. I never thought about it but Saturday was <i>obviously alllllll about Topshop</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I managed to grab this little denim jacket bargain in the sale last week & I know it's the Autumn season now but I kind of think as long as you aren't freezing cold then why not add abit of denim to an outfit? I have a big pastel pink faux fur collar which I think will look good with this jacket as well as keep me pretty warm this season too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again.. pink pastels are making an appearance. I spotted these pink trousers a few weeks ago and thought they'd be a great buy just because of how many ways you could wear them.. I'm thinking my Stan Smith trainers to go with them next to add a more casual look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think of denim or pastels this season? Let me know!</div>

Hope you're all well. </div>

I actually can not believe we are so close to the end of the year already, it's literally flew by! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween is this weekend, then Christmas! ahh! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I thought I would post about a few things I have been loving this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, THESE Topshop bargains!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOBlqzTKhNkQBHFdVgvmvG6fNkrrWt8D9P4ZZdqRFlQ-t-6xnngOYc2M8-pZL52G9csHxB-GGeh_e1g6S1ibBS0vp5CUAkhEUOw1jPcVUhe8bcRISEF_0-Z1Npr6bj34XMigiyDOQM6Y/s1600/IMG_1580.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOBlqzTKhNkQBHFdVgvmvG6fNkrrWt8D9P4ZZdqRFlQ-t-6xnngOYc2M8-pZL52G9csHxB-GGeh_e1g6S1ibBS0vp5CUAkhEUOw1jPcVUhe8bcRISEF_0-Z1Npr6bj34XMigiyDOQM6Y/s640/IMG_1580.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week I went out for a little afternoon shop, not for anything in particular (<i>you know those day's that turn into you seeing all sorts you don't need& before you know if your hands are full&bank balance ran dry..)</i> but<i> </i>Topshop was having a huge mid-season sale so I thought why not take a peek. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spotted these pink beauties and felt like it was shoe fate when they were actually my size! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait for the best bit.. These only cost me <u>£10!!</u> Such a great bargain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, Alexa Chung app - Villoid! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now of course anything Alexa does is pretty much perfect but her app, I honestly can't explain my love for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Super simple to use & gives me so much inspiration for outfits in no time at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't know what Villoid is yet, imagine Pinterest and Polyvore tied together/ if those two websites had a child.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically you create boards with images, clothing items, accessories etc. and then save them to your personal profile which other users can see& you can also share them via. twitter, instagram etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a couple of style boards I have created so far.. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also buy the exact items directly through the app, so if you're anything like me be sure to keep your bank card out of reach.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Moving on, a shop I have been loving this month is Paperchase, seriously from their Christmas decorations to cute funny postcards, Paperchase is like heaven at the minute! I picked up these three decorations last week.. a pineapple, a Christmas ostrich and angel sausage dog, halo included of course! All their Christmas decorations are on 3 for 2 also which basically means you get a free one so why not buy more.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also have a photo wall in my bedroom which has lots of mix matched frames filled with photo's, quotes etc. so I wanted to find some quirky little postcards that I could pop into a few empty frames I had.. Ta Daa! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Literally the coolest postcards ever, &they are super cheap too!</div>

My very last favourite for this month is my Alex Monroe Bumble Bee Necklace, this is very much a favourite for me every single day not just this month. I bought it at the very beginning of the year using money I got as Christmas gifts from family. I went for the rose gold version just so it could suit my everyday jewellery a bit more, so far the chain has started to go a bit dis-coloured, but after almost a year of wearing it every single day I can't <i>really</i> complain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how the little bee adds just enough dainty detail to any outfit! </div>

Jumpsuit's are literally the most easy of outfits to put together, <i>(not so easy when going the loo, but none the less easy to style). </i>Pop on a pair of shoes and your outfit is pretty much done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spotted this one online last month and after taking a bit of length of the hem <i>(it was way to long)</i>, I was good to go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even bought another jumpsuit the week after because well, I pretty much can't get enough of them at the moment.. </div>

Here we are, pretty much a whole month since my last blog post. I don't want to keep saying sorry for breaks in blogging because I think it's just one of those things that can happen from time to time. But I'm back and kind of feel like I have the blogging 'bug' back & have plenty of idea's for posts too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just thought it could be a good idea to let you know what I've been up to since my last post.</div>

<u>one - work, jobs, intern</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The past three months I was completing a design internship with a jewellery and accessories brand, I seriously loved my time there but as it was located about three hours away from my house, I decided to turn down a job opportunity there when they offered me it. For me this was a huge decision because it was a job I loved but I just wasn't ready to move from home yet, plus a lot of other reasons to however moving was the main one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After saying no I thought I was going to have to start all over in a new place, interviews etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But luckily for me the company offered for me to work from home a few days a week! I honestly can't say how happy I was and just how much I'm loving the job role. It's a lot of social media, PR design and even blogging too, so right up my street! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm planning on doing a post all about working from home& how to keep motivated etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really do believe it's so so important to be in a job which you love, no matter what that job is or how you find it, just try!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Working with an accessories company obviously inspires me a lot & although I love working for somebody else, I'm not quite ready to let go of all my uni experience and own individual work just yet.. hence <i>No Frills, Just Fluff</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my final collection in university I created a collection based on <a href="http://birdbloom.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/keeping-things-updated-final-fashion.html">Granny Chic</a>.. think all things fluff, faux fur and pastel colours. With the collection I made bags, shoes and accessories to match, I also made a few pairs of fluffly earrings for myself late last year. When I posted a image of myself wearing them on Instagram I got so many comments saying about selling them/making them for other but at the time I wasn't to sure. Cut the long story short.. it's happened and I'm happy to say pom pom earrings have been introduced to my little Etsy shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you fancy taking a peek you can shop the earrings <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/NoFrillsJustFluff">here</a></div>

Last weekend me and my boyfriend took a quick trip to a place called Fargo Village, it's kind of a independent/ vintage place that host's a whole heap of shops and food/drink places. Whilst we we there I bought a cute Dolly Parton t shirt (<i>there's a cat on the top to, so that was a necessary buy of course..</i>) as well as some bath bombs which are the shape of eggs and in a egg box!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The place also has a brewery which my boyfriend was obviously quite the fan of.. beer all round!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of the shops are even in old creates which I think is such a fun idea to do, I think there really is something for everyone there and some of the graffiti is so amazing (as you can see from this huge golden elephant in the outfit photos).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am loving the whole suede trend for Autmn and seriously can't get over this zipper front skirt from asos, I spotted it and also had a 20% off code which made it even more of a must buy. I loved the colour and then the fit was just really nice, I've worn it so much already and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Outfit repeater right here, I'm the first to admit it with this skirt!</div>

Last Friday night me and my boyfriend headed to a individual restaurant called The Drawing Board in Leamington Spa, the restaurant was very 'indie' with comic books all over the wall's and our bill came in a vintage Mr Men book, so cute! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However this place was not your typical 'pizza and chips' indie restaurant, the food was amazing! & of a very very high standard.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had 'corn fed' chicken with a kind of paisley mash.. <i>very fancy I know.</i>. (plus the food was so good we even stayed for desert).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the place and the whole atmosphere.. sometimes it's nice to just head out for a meal or a drink etc.. everyone does love a date night after all.</div>

Last Saturday me& my boyfriend headed to Nottingham for the day, we have only been once before which was for my birthday but we both really wanted to go again to visit a few places we didn't have time to on our first visit. We mainly spent the day shopping and wandering around, as well as having a bite to eat. I had looked online and came across a bar called Daskino which was a place to play ping pong whilst having a drink or two, we both thought it looked quite fun so headed there before making our way home. </div>

I'm so glad we stopped off at Daskino because it's honestly one of my favourite places I've ever been, it had the lot from coke float cocktails to a vintage style photo booth and even film quotes on a cinema style board as well as films projected onto the roof for you to watch. I hate to use the word 'cool' but it honestly was a place that I would call 'cool'. When ordering my cocktail I though it would just be your usual 'comes in a glass, gets you a bit drunk' style drink however when it arrived I was a bit shocked to see a kind of wooden board of 'ingredients' to make my own.. I had a dandelion and burdock with amaretto and vanilla ice cream, topped with cherries <i>of course! </i></div>

This is my very last outfit post from my holiday, which means the sad realisation that all that holiday excitement is well and truly over. Autumn is most definitely on its way.. saying that I do love the autumn season mainly because of the clothing and been able to layer most of your wardrobe all at once.. but maybe that's just me and my over the top coat obsession!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More about the outfit.. I bought this dress off ASOS just before heading to France, I really loved the floral pattern as it was quite muted with the hints of black making it not too summery but still just enough.. I'm also a huge fan of the bardot style shape too, I love how showing your shoulders can completely change the shape of a dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How do you feel about it being August already? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The year is flying by if you ask me.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you're all well.</div>
