    Leather Jacket Quiz Clothing | Dress C/O Rare London | Necklace Claire’s Accessories | Barely there Heels New Look

    Now we all know that I like to play dress up, right? So of course when you are given a pick to choose a dress you know I’m not going to go for your average dress, yep! So when it came to picking a dress with Rare London this limited edition Dogtooth Monochrome dress was top of my list. Not only is the black & white trend so bang on for AW14/15 it had a pretty organza skirt overlay that just made me feel so girly.

    It retails at £56 on the website, sadly there was a small nick in the dress on one of the seams but it will be easily fixed by Mr C’s Grandma’s sewing skills. I did advise Rare London on this so hopefully they will be vigorously checking their orders like the little good eggs they are! They even offered to replace it but I’d prefer them to save them for their paying clients (Because I’m as good little egg too!)

    I got this in a size 12 to accompany my ever growing bust, however, I was pleasantly surprised that there was quite a bit of room to fit even more breast in so I may have got away with ordering a size 10 but I always like to act on the side of caution when getting something off the world wide web.

    I teamed it with my black leather jacket from Quiz and my barely there heels from New Look which an absolute staple for me (comfy and on trend – what more could a girl ask for?) It kind’ve felt like I had just rewound back to the 1950’s and stepped on set for Grease the Movie!

    I also created a ponytail with a wrap around to give this outfit a more edgy appeal. I had to stop myself from going Lily Allen-esque and rocking my fluorescent pink Nikes!

    How would you have rocked this look? A similar way or completely different? Let me know in the comments below!

    Leather Jacket Quiz Clothing |  Top C/O Vera Moda @ The Hut | Shorts Primark | Birkenstocks TK Maxx

     

    Yeah, that’s right. There are my chunky thighs rocking some shorts. I’m armed with cellulite and I aint’ afraid to use it! Housewives of Atlanta Snap in yo’ face

    On a serious note, I wanted to put together a more casual feel for a style post as I generally tend to have a more ‘’put together’’ look. So when the lovely team at The Hut got in touch to let me know they had some samples available to trial I jumped at the chance to take part. I love The Hut as it has some real quality brands that are available at an accessible price. I am regularly going glazy eyed over there promotional emails each week. However, this gorgeous purple t-shirt was perfect for the Festival season. Purple isn’t normally a colour I go for but it is quite a transitional colour in to the Autumn month. Oh, and words cannot describe just how comfy it is to wear? So much so (and strike me down for saying this!) but I can’t help slouch around the house in it because it just so cosy.

    My new leather jacket was a purchase from Quiz Clothing when I won my voucher at the Blog Yorkshire Event which you can read all about here! My £50 voucher stretched a long way as I managed to blag this leather jacket which is extremely comfy and not too heavy if I just need a light jacket. I also got two dresses for the pleasure, one of which you can also read about in my blog called Bardot Babe!

    My shorts were a little bargain from Primark a few seasons ago & of course my trusty Birkenstocks that I picked up from TK Maxx for £20 are an absolute staple in my life. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do through the Winter for footwear? I’m not sure I can get away with wearing my fluorescent pink Nikes to the office! So, I’d love to hear from you if you have any footwear suggestions for my poorly feet. I suffer from high in steps and if I wear flat shoes they start to drop and the only way to describe it is excruciating pain! So please do get in touch in the comments below!

    Now I hope you have had a lovely fix of my wobbly legs and terrible Gene Simmons impression. Over & out!

  • Unexpected Hiatus | QueenBeady

    If you are reading this, thank you. It means that you have clicked on my blog after weeks of no posts. My blog went mute. So did my brain.

    Despite having lots of amazing posts about the music sets I saw at Lees Festival and the wonderful summer, I just haven’t been able to put finger to keyboard and write. A lot of bloggers talk about how they go on a break from their blog and how it gives them that well deserved break and detox that they oh so need. In the past I have taken a couple of days to re-group and get my thought process back together but it seems I took a little longer this time. I’m not sure if it’s the alcohol/dreamy daze that I have been in since Leeds Festival, but I think it goes back a bit pre-festival than that.

    I was writing a lot of Fashion Posts. I asked myself, why on earth would anyone be bothered to read about my style and look at the photos I had posted. I think I felt a little stupid, if I am quite honest. Almost a little naive. The time it took working out my ”styled looks”, taking the photos, loading them on to the computer, deciding which 2 out of 50 photos made the cut, then writing and scheduling. It was all becoming a bit of a chore. I have never wanted blogging to feel like that so I decided it was best to just take a hiatus from all things in the blogosphere. Not just the blog, but my social media output too. I have been a lot quieter than usual on twitter and not promoting my blog for a little while, which a few of you had noticed.

    Most non-bloggers won’t understand how much time, effort and pain goes in to writing blogs. If you are a non-blogger and take offence to that comment I sincerely apologise but seriously, it really is a long process to get our words out to you! Also, some bloggers will read this and roll their eyes ”one of them?” they will probably say. But we all hit a wall at some point. We are not perfect and sometimes you just need a little down time to yourself.

    As I’m writing this, I’m happy. It feels like I’m talking from the heart and not forcing anything out that isn’t required because I’m not really having to think too hard about what I want to say. It feels natural. That is how blogging should feel.

    Anyone feeling this way I urge you to just shut down blogspot/wordpress and stop tapping on your phone. If your blog is going to stand the test of time, people will still follow you. Hey, my blog has still received about 30 followers on blog lovin and I haven’t wrote diddley squat for weeks. At the end of it all your true readers will be there still and all things will pick up again when you have given yourself that time. Just don’t forget about you along the way.

    I make no apologies for leaving my blog for a little while and neither should you. Expect better writing and posts from me, especially now the nights are drawing in with Autumn on our doorstep.

    Lastly, thank you to those who are still reading this.
