July?

Apparently it's July! So I bought some new shorts from Blitz Vintage on Hanbury Street, but haven't had much of a chance to wear them since it's been raining on and off since I burnt my shoulders in the sun on Sunday. I will never understand the British summer.

Pretty boring update, but a couple of bits arrived from my eBay haul and I was excited.

I've been dying to get my hands on these platforms for ages now so they were the first thing I bought on payday. As you can tell from the photos, I've not take them off since they arrived!

The studded bag is a bit of a basic but I was determined to find a handbag that wasn't black! I want to start on outfit posts but I just don't have time, so it will have to wait until the weekend.

Pay Day Spree

My weekend of shopping began on Friday with a ClothesMinded mini-haul. I've had my eye on a few pieces for a while and finally got around to picking them up. Everything is such a bargain so if you're strapped for cash but need to update your summer wardrobe, be sure to check it out.

Striped Crop Top - £5; Monochrome Aztec Vest - £6; Sheer Crop and Bralet coming soon

On Saturday I set out with intentions of buying various presents I needed to find and an outfit for an upcoming wedding. Instead I ended up with two bralets, a pair of shoes, some earrings and a sheer black shirt dress.

Bralets - Urban Outfitters, £8 & £10; Earrings - Primark, £1.50; Shirt dress - Forever 21, £11.50; Heels - Forever 21, £10.49

Part 1 of my recent eBay spree arrived on Friday too - three backless leotards because I couldn't decide on just one colour and they were only £5 each! They go with pretty much everything so this is all I'm going to be wearing for the rest of summer.

Backless leotards - eBay (here), £5ish each

I'm off to Brick Lane now to do yet more shopping.
Have a good weekend.

HEY!

I took a little break from blogging owing to my devastating lack of funds meaning I've had no money to spend on looking nice for the past few months. But now, with a slight blog make-over, a full time job and a soon-to-be replenished wardrobe, I'm back, and it feels good.

Day Fifteen

I've spent most of today searching the internet for winter outfit inspiration. I never look at anyone else in a jumper and jeans and think they look awful, but I can't stand the sight of it on myself. It just feels so boring and uncreative.

As it turns out, most of the world seem to wear shorts in winter, because it's not -500 like it is in London, so all in all it was a useless waste of time, unless you're immune to sub-zero temperatures and are happy to wander around without a coat.

Day Fourteen

It snowed this morning, if you hadn't heard. And I HATE snow. In fact I hate any weather that isn't mild and at least slightly sunny, so it was big jumpers and fur all the way today. Tried and tested as a warm outfit (with two t-shirts and an extra pair of leggings), this will be my official outfit for the week if the snow keeps it up.

Day Thirteen

My hangover Sunday has consisted of Breakfast Club with the hangover crew, Baileys latte's and streaming Les Mis. Ideal!

Cardigan - vintage; Crop top - Topshop; High waisted jeans - eBay; DM brogues - eBay; Necklace - eBay; Frilly sock - H&M

It can be as cold as it likes but I will be wearing crop tops through the snow, I don't even care. Also, high waisted jeans are an error when you're venturing out solely to stuff yourself with veggie breakfasts, but whatever. 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Day Twelve

It's two of my girl's birthdays tonight so we're hitting the town. Wasn't entirely sure of my outfit - I feel part power lesbian, part office worker, part hipster - but I'm going with it anyway.

Blazer - H&M; Crop top - eBay; Trousers - H&M; Shoes - New Look; Bag - iOffer

In fact, I was considering returning these trousers until I noticed that that shop assistant had marked them down wrong so I actually got them for £5. What a bargain!
