Stylespiration Sunday


Welcome to a new section of my blog "Stylespiration Sunday". I love reading other peoples inspirational blog posts, so I thought I would create my own. I have always had computer folders bursting with fashion, hairstyles, makeup, home interiors, photography and tattoo ideas that I love, so I thought I would start sharing some of that with you - here's what's been floating my boat this week! 


If I had long hair I would totes be rockin' this hair style. Everything about this image is just perf!

I can't get enough of the sunflower print at the moment. I love the 90's vibe it brings, and its a great way of brightening up an outfit without being too OTT.

I have owned 2 pairs of Dr Martens over the years and for some reason, that I can't quite recall, I have ended up selling them both on ebay. Silly me because these boots are timeless. I think every girl should own a pair; they can change the feel of an outfit completely, not to mention after you wear them in a bit they are super comfy! 
I remember buying my first pair of DM's when I was 16. I immediately got them out of the box and jumped all over them, I hated how pristine they were and longed for the scuffs and creases. I used to buy colourful laces from a local "goth" shop to brighten mine up but this time I think I will stick with a classic black lace when I repurchase - and I won't make the mistake of re selling them, those bad boys will be sticking around till I am old and grey!

Oversized Vintage denim jackets - I don't know why I don't already own one, enough said. Also I should mention this girls style is unreal - serious wardrobe and hair envy, check out her lookbook here

Finally Fedoras - I have been after the perfect one for so long but haven't quite found it yet! They're a great way of accessorizing an outfit and perfect for hiding bad hair days which I tend to have most days!

Outfit Post | Back In Black



Bowler Hat - Topshop
Dog Bite T-shirt/Dress - River Island
Leather Skirt - H&M (old but similar here)
Leather Jacket - Oh My Love
Ankle Boots - H&M
Necklace - H&M
Duffle Bag - Primark

Hey guys, here's a little outfit post from the other day. I do love an all black outfit! With weather as changeable as the UKs (even in summer) black still has its place - thank god! This is an outfit for those "its sunny 30% of the day but mostly cloudy" days. 

I love this dog bite tee that I bought from River Island last year, its actually a dress but I like to wear it as a top and I think it looks perfect paired with leather. The bowler hat is my go to at the moment, its a great way to accessorize an outfit without trying to hard and can be worn all year round. 

What do you guys think of my black summer outfit? Does anybody else like to wear black in the summer?

Outfit Post | Bohemian Vibes




Dress - H&M
Sleeveless Crochet Top - Primark
Studded Duffle Bag - Primark
Ankle boots - H&M
Rings - Primark
Tattoo Choker & Bracelet - ebay

Its absolutely boiling hot at the moment and I am having my usual "what do I wear, its too hot for anything" drama. 
I found this lovely dress in H&M a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I am obsessed with anything mandala/native print so this dress was a complete must have, its perfect for summer and can be layered up with tights and a leather jacket in winter. I styled it with my sleeveless crotchet top from Primark which I featured in my last post, my H&M ankle boots and my new (ish) studded duffle bag which is the perfect size to carry daily essentials in! 

I hope your all enjoying this lovely weather, unfortunately I only get 1 day off a week so don't get much time to enjoy the weather (hence my lack of outfit posts). Do any of you have dramas with what to wear in summer? Please leave a comment below, I would love to hear your thoughts on summer dressing!

Outfit Post | Oh I do like to be beside the seaside


Peace Top - Topshop (Old)
Denim Shorts - Topshop (Old)
Long Crochet Top - Primark
Faux Birks - H&M
Leather Rucksack - Primark
Bowler Hat - Topshop (Old)

Another festival boho style outfit again! I found this lovely long sleeveless crochet fringe top in Primark the other day for £12 (yes I broke the spending ban - woops), but I just couldn't resist. Anything with a fringe goes down well with me and its another bum hiding addition to my wardrobe - perfect.

The top I have had for a few years now, at one point I was going to ebay it, but I am so glad that I didn't as its perfect for summer. I finished the outfit with my trusty bowler, leather rucksack and faux birks from H&M.

Apologies for the state of my face, I went out without any make-up on and had had a restless nights sleep the night before as my pet rabbit was ill. Thankfully after a trip to the vets to get him some medicine he is perking up! Anyway hope your all having a good week!

Outfit Post | You've got the music, you've got the music in you




Crop top - Motel
Kimono - New Look
Shorts - Topshop (old)
Bowler Hat - Topshop (old)
Belt - Primark

Hey guys, here's what I wore for a day out in Bournemouth on Friday. I am so obsessed with kimonos at the moment (I may have mentioned!) I just feel like there the answer to all my prayers where showing my bum is concerned. Plus they are great for layering and keeping cool on a hot day, cos lets be honest I can't keep wearing a leather jacket, through summer - that would be madness! 

I love this moon, sun and stars crop top from Motel, I bought it a few months back but hadn't worn it yet. Its super light and I am obsessed with the print, it looks perfect with the kimono for a hippie style vibe. I think I'm just going to dress like I am at a constant festival this summer! Why not!

Anyway hope your all enjoying the sunshine and having a lovely weekend!

Ebay Wishlist #1



Ebay Wishlist


Left to right - Zara inspired eye print dress // Statement Bib necklace // Feline Cat T-shirt // Mint Bralet //  White Cleated Sole Gladiator Sandals // Grey Metallic Designer Satchel // Silver Knuckle Midi Rings

Hey guys, so I thought I would do a different kind of post today. Here is whats been sitting in my ebay basket for the past week or so. Yes I haven't forgotten I'm on a spending ban - which is going quite well may I add despite the withdrawal symptoms - must resist!
Anyway back to the point, more often than not you can find designer/highstreet items at a fraction of the cost on ebay. Sometimes what you get is what you pay for, but you can find items that are just as good a quality as whats on the high street.

I have always been a bit of a thrifty character going to carboots whenever I can and picking up second hand items from ebay. Its amazing what you can find when you really look, although it can be a little time consuming your bank balance will thank you for it!

The eye dress is a great dupe of the sellout Zara version, not to mention the white sandals are a great knock off Topshop version and are available in loads of different colours! And I absolutely adore the grey metallic satchel, perfect for carrying around your daily life in style!

So what do you think of my ebay picks? Do you guys like to shop around? Please comment if you have any thrifty shopping tips!

HAUL~ Topshop, Ohmylovelondon, H&M, Monki & Asos


So this was my extremely naughty haul, where I thought it was perfectly acceptable to buy 3 kimonos in one day. Having said that I am quite pleased with my recent purchases as they expand my outfit variety now and I feel I won't have my classic "What do I wear/ I have nothing to wear" meltdown. 
I barely ever go out to shop as I get really stressed out so I usually opt for online shopping, however I decided to scout out the nearest H&M to me and found a great shopping outlet in Bournemouth. 
I spent ages in H&M and had to take 2 trips to the changing rooms - I forgot how much stuff they have in there! In the end I picked a lovely faux leather skirt which is such a lovely quality and looks more expensive that it is (£14.99 - Bargain!). I also fell in love with the kimono, the print is so lovely and its a perfect length. Just as I was nearly ready to leave I spotted the faux birkenstocks, I couldn't believe my luck, I had been after some for ages and was debating on buying these from Topshop but I am so glad I didn't as these H&M ones were a small £12.99. 

I then popped into New Look as I wanted to exchange some shorts and then I spotted the most perfect black kimono which was closely followed by spotting ANOTHER perfect Kimono. I told myself that I was only going to buy the black kimono, but when I tried on the blue one I fell in love. I was the perfect shade of blue and looked lovely against my skin tone. I couldn't possibly choose between the 2 so I had a little chat with myself and the girl at the checkout and we both convinced myself that I wasn't a bad person and like YOLO and all that!

Eye prints seem to be quite popular now, although its actually quite creepy to some I personally love it. Whilst browsing on Asos I spotted this awesome oversized t-shirt by Monki  thought it would look great paired with some ripped jeans and my H&M faux birks.

I was in desperate need of a new leather jacket as my Topshop one had been permanently glued onto me for at least 3 years and I just felt that it had seen its day. I spotted this leather jacket on the Oh My Love website and loved the biker style of it. I was so excited when it arrived and put it on straight away and oh my its so perfect, it really gives my outfits that added bit of edge and with using a discount code it only cost me £33.00 (Originaly £39).

So thats my Haul guys! Hope this post wasn't too long. I am now unfortunately on a spending ban (see last post), I am already finding it difficult as today is payday but I am determined not to break my oath and utilise what I already have in my wardrobe!

What have you guys been buying recently? Have any of you had to curb your spending habits?
