Be There Or Be Square Daddio.....

This past week has seen me turn a year older, I was showered with lovely gifts including an amazeballs Ashish X Topshop bikini which you probably will never see me wear on my blog as I am not one to strip down and take photographs of myself. Hey, I have had three children and I am approaching 40, I need to keep some things private! I promise to take a few still pics (of the possibly only Ashish item I will ever own) to share with you very soon! I really love Ashish so I am really happy that my lovely husband Phil spoilt me rotten! To help me get my swimsuit body back on track I have started running again. It has been a few years since I have ran but I am using an NHS running App that helps ease you back into it. I think the last time I ran I was extremely hard on myself and it just put me off! Its great to run in the warm weather, it makes you more inspired to do it. Watch this space for a possibly more toned No Debutante! 

Let's check out today's personal style outfits, both feature my Primark plaid shirt, I really have worn it to death and think it is time to purchase a couple more plaid shirts. I love them! 

Here's two different ways I wear my plaid shirt. The first is modern vintage inspired with a long sleeve crop top, Freddies of Pinewood 1940s turned up wide leg jeans, white high tops and cute rockabilly plaits in my hair. The second look is much more grunge inspired with tiny denim cut offs, long slouchy vest tops and those white high tops again! Both different looks, which is your favourite Rockabilly Cute or Grunge Girl?

All clothing from Primark, Freddies of Pinewood and Tatty Devine.

Thanks so much for reading and hello to my new followers. No Debutante shall be back tomorrow with more fashionista fun. Have a great day xx

Primark Sunday Spring / Summer 2014

It's that time of year again when I get a Sunday all to myself to do a big Primark shop for the current season. Today's Primark Sunday is all about shopping for Spring Summer 2014 and it was certainly inspired by a hot, hot summer holiday in Ibiza and surf style.

My obsession of the day was definitely the Maui collaboration with Primark, my husband Phil started off my interest in Maui by asking how Primark were allowed to get away with ripping off Maui, or so he thought, as we drove past the Bristol Primark window display. I had to go and investigate this, so called, Maui ripping off but was pleasantly surprised to find it was indeed a Maui and Primark collaboration! The range is so late 1980s early 1990s beach style, think surf shorts, logos, neon vests and Hawaiian prints mixed with Vision and Stussy retro skate style, I just loved it! I loaded up my Primark bag with everything Maui and tried it all on, managing to cut down the amount of Maui purchases to the ones you will see below. It didn't stop there......I got into the kids dept and there was the coolest range of Maui t-shirts, vest tops and shorts for boys, I had to restrain myself from buying the whole collection so I just got my two sons a Maui top each, we don't want to go around looking like the Maui family. However, I also checked out the mens dept and there were even more Maui items, I have told Phil who is also interested in having a browse, I feel another Maui/ Primark shop coming on.....I have to mention that being a reputable brand you would think that the Maui items would be a bit pricey but I am happy to say it is the opposite. The prices are the same as the usual Primark bargain prices, it really is a brilliant range, go check it out!

I didn't just return home with a bag full of Maui items, I also bought little Sylvie some more of the, cheap as chips, Kawaii print t-shirts, aztec trousers and some flip flops. For myself, as well as the Maui haul, I bought more frilly ankle socks, an aztec bag and two pairs of white shoes. White shoes are everywhere this summer and I thought I'd try out some cheaper versions from Primark. I really love the creeper style high tops, they are so comfy but I am afraid to say the (rather flimsy) white sandals have already become a casualty of the summer and have broken, which was a little disappointing. I really loved the style of the sandals though so it has inspired me to perhaps splash out a little more and get a better quality pair elsewhere! The final garment for myself was a sleeveless monochrome checked shirt. I am loving this shirt and have worn it loads of times already, watch this space for how I wear it! 

In conclusion, I managed to buy all of this for under £100, apart from the broken shoes, it's brilliant value for money! I love Primark!
