Thunderbolts & Lightning, very very frightening (me)!

I should win some kind of award for my awesome blog post titles. They just get cooler and cooler. Today's is brought to you by Queen. But anyway these tights - oh these tights. They're so preetty. I could have probably easily DIY'd some myself like this, although coloured paint never seems to work as well. Plus, painting tights takes forever, as anyone who ever tried my DIY painted tights tutorials would know. And I'm lazy/crazy busy with uni right now. So pretty tights with all the work already done is just fine by me. wearing dress - Chicabooti hat - c/o Oasap tights - c/o Oasap shoes - Rubi Shoes belt - vintage Oh hey, I have a new hat on ;) unfortunately, my boyfriend promptly decided that he really liked this hat (and it did look really good on him, so...) so I have had to relinquish my new hat already. Not sure if I'll ever get it back to take pictures with! If he ever lets me put a photo of him on my blog, I'll have to try and snap a photo of him wearing it! Also, I'm really sorry if you've been trying to enter my Glamorous giveaway in the past day or so and it hasn't been working. I've asked rafflecopter what's up with it and hopefully they'll get back to me sometime today! Thank you for everyone who has entered so far though! I'll let you know as soon as it's  up and running again. *It's working again (as far as I can tell) so if you want to enter, enter here! I've also extended it for a day so extra time to enter!* I love you guys :)

This is no Modern Romance

So, if you've got a keen eye/follow my blog obsessively, you may notice that I have adopted a slightly different background for my last few posts! Exciting, right??? (No, not really at all.) I love a number of things about this outfit. The first thing is the ridiculously cool fabric that this dress (courtesy of Mod Dolly) is made out of. A nod to pastels in amongst a spectacular pattern. I definitely approve. (The dress is on sale if you want to get yourself one!) The second is these amazing tights. Pretty sure patterned tights don't get any better than this. And the third - my amazing new boots. Guess how long I've wanted bright pink docs?  About 3 years. And finally, they are mine! (They're not real docs unfortunately. But they will do.) wearing dress - c/o Mod Dolly boots - Raben Footwear tights - c/o OASAP socks - c/o Sock Dreams bag - c/o Wholesale Necklace - c/o OASAP Much love! p.s. Modern Romance - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Crouching tiger, hidden lion

This is quite easily the lamest blog post title ever. I named it so because I'm wearing a lion print but he's hidden under my sweater... haha. Hidden lion... Whatever. It's cool, I'm cool, get over it, okay. So, I have yet another animal-printed body-con dress from Romwe to show you! This one has a big wise-looking lion on the front of it! I love these dresses so much. They are really seriously great for summer, they're so light but fun to wear. But then, you can also pair them with a cropped sweater, a blouse and some tights, kind of like I have above, to turn it into a pretty autumn outfit. wearing dress - c/o Romwe collar clips - Ebay blouse - Vintage sweater - Vintage shoes - Vintage bag - Vintage p.s. if you didn't see the Glamorous giveaway posted here earlier today, go and check it out!

Cadillac Print Swimsuit

I normally wouldn't post photos of myself in a swimsuit on my blog, but I had to make an exception for this ridiculously cool one-piece. Particularly because it is still on sale at asos - I think I got it for about $25. Which is too amazing for words. Not only is it a ludicrously cool swimsuit, but because it's a one-piece it can also become a ludicrously cool top with a pair of high waisted shorts. (I still don't understand how there was thick snow here precisely one week ago. I am actually going for a swim this morning because it's that hot.) Word of warning about this swimsuit if you're thinking of getting it - it doesn't come with built in bra cups. I had to sew some in (I cut up an old bra to do this) but that worked really well! You could also cut open the lining in the bodice and insert some of those swimming top insert things. But just so you know ;) wearing one-piece - Asos shorts - c/o Wholesale necklace - c/o Oasap shoes - Raben footwear Hope you're all super swell. And here is an awesome song about Cadillacs (by Modest Mouse).

Love is a Place

I am absolutely head over heels for this dress. Heart boobs = awesome. It's also inspired me to create a similar DIY sometime in the future so watch out for that ;) So, I haven't posted here since Saturday! That's almost a whole week! Uni has been really full-on the last few days but I now finally get a breather - somewhat of a breather, anyway. Yesterday I had a four-hour-long exam. Did you know that four-hour-long exams really suck? Just in case you were operating under the assumption that a four hour exam sounded like a super fun thing to do. But anyway, it's behind me now, and I have a few free days to take a billion outfit pictures and maybe even do a little bit of sewing! I'm also seeing Noel Fielding do a stand-up show this weekend, which I have to say I am pretty damn excited for! wearing dress - c/o Oasap clutch (it's actually a pencil case. shh) - Zipper Magazine hat - c/o Wholesale socks - Wholesale shoes - Wholesale Have a lovely weekend, everyone! p.s.
