Monday Blues.. Cheer up, buttercup!

July, 11th and it is still pouring down with rain here in the UK.. when will the sunshine appear?

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 'summer days' so far have been none stop rain.. So what do we do when we're feeling blue? Shopping of course! 

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! 

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!? 

How has your Monday been so far? 

Let me know!

OOTD; Leopard Print&Trainers

pastel leopard print top | tk maxx | £20.00

pvc skirt | asos | oldish 

bag | monki | £15.00

new balance trainers | asos | £70.00

This weekend me and my boyfriend headed to a trainer 'festival' which was on in Liverpool, I'm not usually one for trainers but I thought it sounded like something a bit different and actually turned out to be really good. Of course a trainer festival was the perfect place to wear my new trainers, they are the first pair I've bought since I was around thirteen, maybe even younger but I loved the pastel colours and knew I'd get quite a lot of wear out of them because I could style them with the clothes I already have. I went for the pastel leopard print as I thought it was quite nice with the pastel trainers and a simple white skirt to break it all up slightly.

Luckily it was a really beautiful day here in Liverpool on Saturday, and I can't believe how beautiful this wall was with all the illustrations on. After the trainer festival we headed down to the Albert Docks for some lunch, it was lovely with the sun shining. Lunch made me think how glad I was that I'd worn this PVC skirt after I got far to greedy eating a chocolate fondue, most of which ended up all over me.

I'm not sure if the Laces Out trainer festival was just a one off or if it's a regular thing but I really would recommend it, even if you just went for a little look around or for a treat for your boyfriend/ friend. Although they did have girls trainers for sale, the festival was aimed to males and had probably everything a boy could want on a sunny Saturday .. beer, a quirky barbers and a whole heap of trainers for sale and to swap, along with a DJ and a few independent stalls selling clothing too.

You can see the Facebook page here if you do fancy having a look.

I hope you're all well & enjoyed your weekend, whatever you got up to.

Wishlist; Pastels & Cats

If anyone would of said a year ago I would be obsessed with pink/pastels I would never of believed them, but the trends of this year seem to of really wore off on me & suddenly I'm addicted to dressing top to toe in pastels/different shades of pink, hence this very colourful wishlist post..

Olivia Burton Watch | link | asos | £37.00 on sale

Cat Clutch | link | new look | £20.00

Lilac Coat | link | £65.00

PVC Skirt | similar on eBay

I created this wishlist before I made a Missguided order, &found pretty much the exact same lilac coat for much less at just £40.00, you can see it here.

I'm so happy with it because I've wanted a lilac coat for such a long time 

& love the cocoon style shape too.

Hope you're all well.

OOTD; Marshmallow Pink

hat | vintage stall | £5.00

coat | topshop | £80ish

basic white top | topshop | old

extremely creased trousers | vintage stall | £4.00

shoes | tk maxx | £30

First of all I need to apologise for just how creased these trousers are, I had been cutting out fabric on the floor& basically leaning all over it and the pants, saying that I didn't realise quite how obvious the creases were until now, sorry about that. 

Bad blogger with my creased pants. 

Anyway, I feel as if I've caught some kind of 'pink loving illness' at the moment because I seriously can't stop wearing this colour, in all shades not even just pastels. 

So strange because if anybody would of said a few months back I'd be dressing in head to toe pink, I would of completely disagreed but the pastel pink trend has hit me hard. 

I thought the zebra shoes went quite nice with this outfit to, as they just add a bit of pattern/detail.

Has anyone else been loving the pink trend this month? Please let me know that I'm not the only one!

Hope you're all well.

OOTD; Sequins &Pastel PVC

top | topshop sale (a while ago) | £22.00

pvc skirt | eBay (new) | £20.00

This weekend I'm visiting Leeds for my friends 21st birthday, (organised blogger photographing my outfits early for a change), for nights out I never like to wear anything to boring, I'd rather get the funny looks for being top to toe in colour than just wear a plain dress. This in mind people might think sequins as well as pvc might be a bit much bit personally I think them both being pastel shades it looks quite subtle, as subtle as sequins can be anyway.

Last week I passed my driving test which is so exciting, first time too! Although it's slightly terrifying the thought I can legally drive a car, alone (think that's going to take a bit of getting used to) but I truly can't wait to start going on fun day's out.

Hope you're all well & enjoy the weekend.

Whilst in Leeds I'm going to try & photograph what I can in terms of the city itself& my outfits too, 

so a post should be up next week.
