I have been watching Gok Wan's new show and thought I would do a couple of outfit posts on the last episodes catwalk face-off. Two of the looks they sent down the runway were nautical and floral. Both really good trends that come around every summer, and both really easy to wear. I have made an outfit that is almost identical the one that was on the show, then I did my own version. Enjoy!

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!

I FINALLY got a job interview the other day, with the vintage shop Rokit on Brick Lane, so hopefully I will be getting a job there soon! Fingers crossed!! Anyway, I digress...
I have been thinking a lot about prints and patterns lately, because I seem to be slipping into a habit of only wearing black - which is very rare for me! So I decided to make some outfits on Polyvore to get some inspiration. Notice how all of the outfits are for the summer! I've had my fun in the snow and now I'm ready for some sunshine.
I guess this post is quite selfish, because it's just me indulging in a little fantasy and dreaming up outfits I would make if I had the money!

I probably won’t be posting tomorrow, and I definitely won’t be posting on Christmas day so I made a few outfits on Polyvore to satisfy your (and my own!) fashion needs.


Outfit a – this outfit is quite fun, my favourite item is the shoes; they are so deliciously 80’s!!!



Top – Yves Saint Laurent
Skirt – Lipsy
Shoes – Sexy Shoes
Purse – Chanel
Earrings – Michael Beaudry
Ring - Ice



Outfit b – this outfit is very girly, the lace and nude colours give the dress quite a vintage feel which I really like. Don’t worry the fur is fake!



Dress - Sretsis
Belt – Forever21
Coat – Debenhams
Shoes – Christian Louboutin
Bag – Anna Vince



Outfit c – I love rockabilly style, so this is my little homage to it. I really want to wear fake eyelashes but I can never get them to stick!



Top – Stolen Girlfriend’s Club
Skirt – Forever21
Bag – Betsey Johnson
Shoes – Yves Saint Laurent
Necklace – Forever21


Outfit d – this is my (dream) Christmas day outfit. It’s simple but very glamorous.



Dress – Acne
Shoes – Christian Louboutin
Earrings – Arden B


I hope you all have a very very happy Christmas, full of wonderful memories with your friends and family – and lots of cocktails! xxxx

I found these gorgeous shoes on TopShop's website, and I must have them!! They are so cute. I love things with bows, and red is my favourite colour, so they are the perfect shoe for me. Even better is the slight 1930's edge they have to them with the chunky not-too-high heel. The only thing stopping me is the price tag.

With a little bit of Photoshop magic I made myself a pair in purple and mustard. Take note TopShop!


Now, I was going to make some outfits to go with these on Polyvore, but it doesn't seem to be working. There are no items at all. Even the sets that I have already created have disappeared. Is anybody else having this problem? I have a suspicion it might be something to do with this Mac.....
