Cherry Lips





Dress - Glamorous
Necklace - Primark and Silver Scene (Bristol) 
Cuff - Vintage
Shoes - Fashion Union

If you follow me on Twitter you will know that the other day I got a bit overexcited about this cut out skater dress from Glamorous. I saw it online and couldn't even sleep thinking about it selling out, so I got up at midnight and bought it (yes I know how crazy that makes me sound!) It took 2 days to be delivered (free delivery) and I received a text to let me know exactly what time it would be delivered, such a good service which made the whole transaction really smooth. As soon as it arrived yesterday I had to put it on, I teamed it with my amber necklace and an old primark favourite, plus this gorgeous vintage stone cuff my boyfriend surprised me with for my birthday.

This is a little post of an outfit I wore to work today, i'm quite lucky that I work in an office where there isn't a dress code, I don't think I would enjoy having to buy 'office wear' and I feel a lot more relaxed being able to wear my own clothes!

The outfit consists of the boyfriend ASOS t shirt that I have in 4 different colours, a primark black midi skirt and my beautiful office shoes! My leather jacket was a eBay find and I have pinned a few little badges on it to jazz it up too!

This week I have been VERY excited about Glastonbury; me and some friends have been talking about it non stop and i'm really excited to start planning what i'm going to wear and buy some fun bits and pieces to take with me! I'm a fairly organised person so hopefully I will plan it well enough not to stress out too much when it comes to packing and condensing everything into my tiny bag!

Last night I went to the Eat Drink Bristol Fashion, a mini food festival happening at the moment in Bristol, and if anyone is from the South West I would definitely recommend a visit. Tapas is served throughout the day and night and no booking is necessary, which is nice if you fancy a spontaneous trip! Housed inside a structured tipi, the pop up restaurant is covered in fairy lights and has a lovely festival feel and some gorgeous food. I had Spanish tortilla, grilled asparagus with lemon & garlic mayonnaise and chips and curry sauce, accompanied by a classic pint of Thatchers Gold!

Has anyone else been to the tipis yet, i'd love to hear what you thought about it, and also if anyone is going to Glastonbury, please comment and share my excitement!!




My Blogger Of The Month: Amy Bell!

This is a bit of a last minute/late idea from me, but I thought it would be a good idea, every month do a little post on my blogger of the month! I read a lot of blogs every day, both fashion and beauty, and wanted to do something to recognise my favourite bloggers and maybe even introduce my followers to the blog. I'm not going to worry about followers, they could have 1 or 10,000 followers, all I want to look for is someone who styles outfits I love and takes nice pictures. I always think it's a really nice thing to do when bloggers write posts on fellow bloggers and how much they love their style, so really this is just a way of spreading blogger love (that sounds so incredibly lame, but I don't care ha!)

My first blogger of the month for January 2013 is... Amy Bell from Little Magpie!



I was first introduced to Amy's blog through working at the Motel Rocks head office, where I was responsible for communicating with bloggers. Amy was a member of the street team and Laura who runs it, put Amy forward as a blogger we might be interested in working with further. Ever since the first time I emailed her, she has always been super nice and friendly and was one of the first people who followed my blog :)

I love her 60's style, she always wears her hair in this perfect beehive and her outfit shots are so good, they genuinely look like part of a magazine shoot. I feel like Amy is quite daring with her fashion but in a way you don't notice at first because she tends to stick with muted colours and classic prints. When you think of daring fashion, it conjures images of mental people who wear shoes on their head; people like Anna Piaggi but Amy is daring in a more subtle way. Like the way she wears a jacket/short sequin suit in the below picture, short suits are a trend thats quickly making it's way onto the high street but Amy was the first person I saw doing it and it's definitely not something for the faint hearted! I think one of the reasons I like her style is that it's quite similar to mine, I like dark colours, feminine shapes and grungy boots, and just love seeing how Amy puts things together, adding neck ties and statement necklaces.


What do you guys think of Amys' style? Do you like the idea of me doing a 'blogger of the month' feature?
