Going Underground

I am really looking forward to the weekend, nope, I'm not lucky enough to be going to Glastonbury Festival but I am really looking forward to seeing some of my bestest friends in London. It's a ladies only, kids free, day and night of fun and to be honest, things will get messy. I cannot wait!! 

Today's post is inspired by my fun filled weekend which is rapidly approaching. Here are a couple of outfits I have worn out lately, yes, actually going out for drinks and that, with grown ups.

I wore the first outfit to a double whammy night out where I firstly attended my friends 40th Birthday Bash which unfortunately clashed with my club night Bang, needless to say I was rather worse for wear when I turned up to Bang and had to DJ straight away so I didn't manage to get any decent photographs of my preppy, modern vintage 1950s inspired outfit. We will make do with the photographs taken (very quickly) at home while I rushed to get ready for party no.1! 

The second outfit was worn to a wedding reception and again has a rockabilly modern vintage look about it. I really like this dress from Zara but there is a fault in the zip which means I need help zipping it up which puts me off it a bit. The deep cut back does show off my tattoo though and the dress has pockets which always pleases me!  I am not happy with the way the hotel carpets are clashing with my outfit. 

Which outfit is your favourite Modern Vintage Preppy or Rockabilly Wedding?

All clothing from Vivien of Holloway,Zara, Primark and New Look.

Thank you for reading. I shall be back very soon with more personal style, fashion obsessions and fashionista fun.

No Debutante - I Love Summer Dresses

I have been up to all sorts lately including attending late night leaving parties, meeting new contacts for exciting blog features and collaborations, planning and designing my new bespoke kitchen and booking more holidays!! I'm always really busy and that's the way I seem to like things, doing one hundred projects at once whilst looking after my kids, working and blogging. 

I was in a bit of a girlie mood in today's personal style pics. I wanted to wear the Miss Selfridge dress again that I wore to my friends Rob and Ruth's rock'n'roll wedding, it is such a pretty and summery dress that it needs to be worn in the sunshine! I dressed it down with a denim jacket and converse and wore my hair down in both outfits, I hadn't realised how blond my hair is now ever since it was bleached by the sun in Ibiza. Ha! I had to mention it again didn't I?? I love the detail on front panel of this dress and the way the back of the dress is the full floral print and different from the front, extra details always please me!

I seemed to like the whole denim jacket, Converse and skater dress theme and did it again with my favourite Topshop Hawaiian print peephole dress.  It's a very summery look and I really do not want to let Autumn in, although I have started to pine for wearing jackets again. I am grateful for this hot weather as most of the year in the UK it is cold and rainy so I will have plenty of time for those jackets and Dr Marten boots!! The end for sandals and flip flops is nigh! Yikes!

So, what's next? Well, there are plenty of personal style posts to share and I have some new beauty products to try out and show you, a label collaboration is also on the cards (tbc) and I still need to show you my favourite looks from the next season and how I shall be wearing them. Let's say bomber jackets are my new favourite obsession!!

Hello to my new followers and thanks to you all for reading.

No Debutante - Rock'n'Roll Wedding

I am slowly catching up with everything I want to show you from the past month since I disappeared to Ibiza. I am really missing the hot weather of Ibiza and it is now overcast, grey and rainy here in Bristol which is a bit of a downer!

Let's cheer things up with a wedding!! At the end of July a day after my fourth wedding anniversary to my gorgeous husband Phil we went to a fantastic wedding! The weather was scorching and the location of Rob and Ruth's wedding was just perfect, we met so many interesting people and spent a whole day with some old friends including my good friend and fellow blogger Selena aka Dilly Foxtrot Investigates, which was great fun. The party ended in a shabby chic marquee, dancing very enthusiastically to a rock and roll band and a night spent in a lovely country hotel a good time was had by all! It was a great way to celebrate our own wedding anniversary. Thank you Rob and Ruth!!

Here are series of photographs featuring what I wore -  including the Miss Selfridge floral dress, Tatty Devine Earrings and sunglasses from Assessorise - what others wore and what we got up to, plus some amazing tattoos from two new friends who will probably be responsible for me ending up with a tattoo sleeve within the year! Check out some of their traditional tattoos!! Love it! 

 

Seems so long ago now, good times!!
