No Debutante - Winter Grunge V's Rockabilly Mash Up!

Amongst the half term madness I have managed to pop together a personal style post for you, the sun is shining and I have no work worries for a week, things are looking good for me!

Today's personal style outfits are both very different (as usual) I named the first outfit Winter Grunge on Instagram which I think pretty much describes it. I am loving the long layers and the pink hair worn down and I am surprised to see the midriff peeking out from beneath the crop top. I know it's winter but I think I had pulled the skirt up high enough and wrapped up enough layers to keep myself warm. This must have been a dry day since I am wearing my fur coat to work rather than my all weather/ getting caught in the rain whilst pushing a baby buggy duffel coat which I have pretty much worn for the whole winter! I can tell you now that it does not look good worn with my maxi skirt, I attempted it but failed just the other day!

The second outfit was named Rockabilly Mash Up and is one of my more tomboy rockabilly looks worn with a ska t-shirt, skater skirt and a bomber jacket, hence the mash-up. I am rather proud of my victory roll, it looks real teddy boy rather than pin-up girl, it's tough and androgynous, I'm liking it! I never really know how my rockabilly hairstyles are going to work out, it's all a bit trial and error, like most things I do. It makes life more fun and I'd get bored if I didn't act like that. 

Which is your favourite look? 

All clothing from New Look, Primark, Topshop, H&M, Underground Shoes, Office Shoes and Converse.

The next post will be something a little different from me, to give you a clue it is not a personal style post or my latest fashion crush, it's more for the little fashionistas amongst us.

Thanks for reading and welcome to my new followers, I shall be back real soon with more No Debutante fun!

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!!

For anyone who would like to check out what I wore whilst in Ibiza you can check out a sneak preview on my Instagram here  http://instagram.com/nodebutante  more blog posts on what I wore in Ibiza shall follow over the next week. Watch this space!

Thanks so much for following and in the words of Spinal Tap.......Have a good time....All the time!!!

No Debutante - Sick Sick Sick

I have been feeling unwell again and have been zapped of energy.....but nothing stops this girl from blogging for too long!! This really is a short little post, but I just had to show you my fashion moments from the past few days, I couldn't resist it. I always feel guilty about just resting up, even if I'm ill, I still see it as time wasting! It is no wonder I am often ill, is it?? 

Today's photographs start with me taking photos of my forward rolling victory roll on my way to work on Friday, I have no evidence of my actual outfit, I seriously did not have the time and was not feeling too good either, I was, however, rather pleased with the forward victory roll so had to get some quick evidence of it, so yes, I am that person on the bus, taking pictures of herself......It's all for fashion daaaaarrrrllllliiiiinnng!

Next comes a quick snap of me at the zoo over the weekend, I went to write a review for work, perhaps if I have the time (and more energy) I can do a post on the family zoo visit as we got loads of cool photographs, alas, not today. Check out my zoo outfit, more festival, grunge than zoo with the kids, I did get a few stares, of course, I'd expect nothing less!

 Lastly comes today's personal style pics. I went for mix prints and Sylvie joined in with a bit of leopard print, again there were not many photographs to choose from since I look real tired and a bit ill in most of them! I hope you can appreciate that even when I am rushed off my feet or poorly I still manage to make the effort, in the name of fashion!!

I just thought I'd let you know that whilst I am writing this post and feeling poorly, I am also ordering my online weekly groceries shop, don't tell this mother and sista fashionista that she cannot multi-task! 

Thanks for reading fashion lovers, I shall hopefully be back and blogging very soon....Tomorrow, if I have my way!

No Debutante - Art Rock

Last night I DJ'd and danced (a lot) at my club night Bang. There was a great atmosphere and I love it when the crowd are really up for dancing and cheer when you put a certain record on and cheer again when the record ends, it was one of those nights last night and certainly makes all the efforts (and stresses) that go into putting an event on worthwhile!!! 

Luckily for me, my good friend and hairstylist Vikki Mac was our babysitter for the evening so I got a fabulous new look before I got to the club, I totally recommend using hair stylists as babysitters!! Vikki Mac is used to me asking her for a new look when she babysits and always has a thousand ideas, which I love! Thanks Vikki Mac!! You Rock!

The look for the evening is a mish mash of  a rockabilly, skinhead and cartoon character which pretty much sums me up for the evening retro tough and day-glo cute!

The second outfit is from today, my hangover outfit I should say, surprisingly I did not have a hangover which I am still a bit smug about! We managed to pop over to the Arts Trail that my good friends Jodie and David (aka Peskimo) were taking part in, they turn their front room into a small art gallery/ shop and anyone can come and view the art and hopefully buy it too! I love Peskimo's style, very Japanese influenced and cute, we already own a few Peskimo prints and purchased more today ( I feel a Peskimo post coming on) and the boys got some cute character keyrings, which they love. Thanks for the art Peskimo!!

Let's get on with the images, I have lots to show you. 

These last images are from the Peskimo pop up shop and art gallery, the last two images are displays of Peskimo toy and character collections, I think you can see why I love Peskimo!! Check out Peskimo here http://www.peskimo.com/ and get collecting!
