Veil and Shine

 The second the sun comes out I'm putting on my floatiest see-through dress and parading down the street bare foot - You can take a girl out of Yorkshire but you can't take the Yorkshire out of me.......

But for now my wardrobe seems to be regressing. While I love a sparkle and some shine - it's a bit festive! I can't help it the weather is confusing my body and my general attire. I feel like a bird who flew south but still ended up in the Arctic.

I don't normally like to bring attention to my lips but the shiny materials I'm wearing just called for it.

Today I'm Wearing:

Bobble Hat - DIY Veil see here

Cream chiffon shirt - H&M

Sparkle purple knit - H&M

Sparkle Tube Skity - Topshop (but exactly the same one found in Primark)

Platform - Jeffrey Campbell

Pardon the Hype

Or don't. In fact hyping on lookbook.nu would be amazing, please! I picked up this oversized sequinned tee from a shop called Republic for a tenner.... I don't normally shop there as I only know the branch up north but there's always a bargainous treasure tucked away and I even spotted my beloved Vila military jacket for £25! I bought mine from very.co.uk for £60.... My pink bow hasn't really left my head for about 3 weeks and it doesn't look to be going anywhere - I've got a feeling my spring wardrobe is going to be dominated by  all things fluorescent this year. Sorry for the manky face today - that's  the mix of me trying 'to connect with the camera' and being hideously exhausted. But busy is always good, even at the expense of my face!

Today I'm Wearing:

Lumo bow - Forever21

Necklace - H&M

White Shirt - H&M

Hype tee - Republic

boots - Jeffrey Campbell

Till Hell Freezes Over

I've just booked my holiday for hot North Africa for later on this year and decided I was ready for sunshine and summer dresses. Then I woke up to this... :( Bent on wearing heels and summery clothes anyway I've layered up and added my wool hat. I will not let the weather beat me today! 

Today I'm wearing:

Pink Bow - Forever21 (saftey pinned onto my hat)

Dress - Urban Outfitters

Shirt - H&M

Boots - Jeffrey Campbells

Sister Sister

I hate to show my mushy side but the past 6 months I've become a a big ball of emotion. I make myself sick. I'm meant to be from Yorkshire - fearless, rough and as hard as nails.... Well not really. But more to the point: my sister is one of my favourite people Ever. Like. Everrrrr. So I decided to dedicate a blog post to her in the style of one of my favourite blogs How Two Live. We don't really have the same style and I'm not even sure she likes having pictures taken but being the amazing person she is, my sister let me drag her outside (and in heels!) on a cold Sunday afternoon to take a few snaps. What a Super Duper Star.

Today I'm wearing: 

Tie-dye tee - DIY

fur hat - vintage

Gold glittery socks - Primark

Sandals - Dorothy Perkins

Bobo wears:

Tie-dye tee - DIY

Our sister Pandora bracelets -  Bobo's hand is below mine and she made a bangle from a fork! Its engraved with Fong and mine's still in the making...

Feather Addiction

I picked this leather jacket up in a Charity shop up north a few weeks ago thinking I could sell it on eBay after studding up the collar and shoulders. But whilst rummaging through my crafts drawer, I found this amazing feather trimming and decided to use this instead!! Took ages hand sewing through the tough leather but overall I'm pleased with the look. I'm also wearing the tie-dye tee I made last week - I think I'm going custom crazy...

Today I'm wearing:

Customized Vintage Leather - Charity shop and feather from eBay

DIY tee - Primark 

The Congress Shoe - Jeffrey Campbell

You, me and JC

 Today my new Jeffrey Campbell's saw the world. They're called the Congress Shoe - not sure why they aren't so congressy... but they are so wonderful with shiny, textured toes, pony skin leopard print backs and a modern bend on the wooden heel. My dream shoes. If it would be considered acceptable, I'd take the time every night to clean them and sleep in them too. These shoes have literally made my day.

Today I'm wearing:

faux fur hat - A market in Paris

denim shearling vest - thrifted

Skeletal graphic sweat - H&M boys

Leggings - Primark

Boots - Jeffrey Campbell
