Ahhh! I know it's been ages since my last blog post - sorry!
I did a bit of shopping the other day and bought myself a few bits from TopShop. I usually tend not to shop there because everybody always ends up looking the same, but I am in dire need of new clothes and I couldn't find anything anywhere that I liked! Why is fashion rubbish at the moment? Or am I just looking in the wrong places...?!
The top is quite a nice shape, there were loads of crop tops I liked but when I tried them on, they just looked like maternity tops! Definitely more suited for people with a smaller bust! The leggings are sooooo comfy though, I have a feeling that I'm going to be living in these from now on!

Whilst I was in New York I was looking forward to going to the vintage market I had heard so much about in Hell's Kitchen, but unfortunately I couldn't find it!!! (If anybody could tell me exactly where it is that would be great!) I was quite disappointed but I did find some really good vintage shops in the East Village. I can't remember what the name of the shop was, but it was super cheap! I found two gorgeous beaded cardigans for $30 each, after seeing similar ones in a shop nearby for $70!!!









In the same shop I also found an original 1960s coat in a beautiful green colour, but it had a fur collar so I didn't get it. I did however get these two dresses; both of them need taking up at the bottom, and with a little bit of (poor) photoshop magic I can see what they will look like after I make them shorter!







I also went to the Lulu Guinness shop in Greenwich Village and got myself an adorable vanity case. I love the 50s pattern all over it! But I feel like it's too pretty to actually use!



I had a little furry friend supervising me whilst I was taking the photos, but she got tired and fell asleep! :)

On Monday my boyfriend, some friends and myself bought tickets to Reading Festival this summer! Then my wonderful boyfriend bought me some super cool leopard print wellies to wear for it! (They are only £8 from Primark if you are interested)



Can you spy my little helper?!
I have been thinking about what I can wear, because I obviously can't wear my usual vintage dresses. I am anticipating the weather to be nice seeing as it will be in August, but knowing British weather, this is probably just wishful thinking! So, I have been creating outfits on Polyvore. I know I am planning waaaay in advance, but that's just how I roll - super organized!
