    Jacket Cardigan Topshop | Top Primark | Skirt Primark | Knee High Boots New Look

    I don’t know what it is about the 90’s vibe that we all love? The re-introduction of Clueless (thanks to Iggy’s ”I’m so fancy” summer hit) has reignited that love/hate relationship with all the tackiness that comes with the era of boy bands, inflatable chairs, lava lamps and any other aptly 90’s themed item you can think of. But I do know that I love the monochrome look, it’s at the forefront of fashion at the moment but I’m seeing it in a really ”androgynous” style too. I thought it was time to put a playful twist on it! My pleather skirt from Primark was a steal in the sales just before Christmas at a mere £3 even if I wore it once it was still going to have been worth it. The stripes are everywhere, I just love how typically Parisian it is – even my Mum comments on how much I wear stripes. Is it time to stop wearing them? Nah, I didn’t think so! This cardi/jacket is something I can’t live without, I picked this up on eBay & I constantly lean to it when I want a light jacket that isn’t too formal but not too casual! The boucle pattern is what does it for me I think. Have you got any classic ”decade” outfits that you go for? I see the 1970’s style is making a revival too, so get those bell bottoms out quick!

    Hat eBay | Dress Primark | Shoes Primark

    This has to be one of the cutest outfits I have at the moment. Period. As soon as I saw this dress on the sale rail in Primark I just knew I had to have it. The cut out shoulders give it that little extra edge but it’s still playful with the Zebra pattern. Ever the thrifty shopper I picked this up for a mere £5 and have already worn it to the Ella Eyre gig in Leeds last week.

    Another steal were these amazing faux snake/crocodile skin pumps that I have seen on Instagram a lot. These are a dupe of Zara’s version but look just the same (albeit the quality may not be as long lasting!), I found them tucked away in a dark corner of the shelf and surprisingly they had a size 5 left. Not only that they were only £5! With that, I swiped them in to my basket and headed straight for the check out. I was not going to miss out on these babies!

    My bowler hat is from eBay (China) and only cost about £2 which I think finished this quirky look off perfectly. I can imagine wearing this next year at Leeds Festival because it was just super comfy. To create a winter look I have already paired it with some thick black tights, boucle jacket and my chelsea boots.

    I am so happy with these little treats I’ve picked up. Have you managed to get these from Primark recently?

    BUY YOUR COCOA SHEA BODY BUTTER HERE

    I’m no beauty expert like a lot of you out there & you are all going gasp when I tell you where I got my most recent body butter from, you really will.

    The pot looks like something you’d find in the body shop, the smell of it is almost like you have just melted 247 bounty’s all in one go. Well I can assure you this pot of pure bliss is more certainly not from the body shop. It is in fact from Aldi. Yes. You did just read that right & no your eyes are not deceiving you. This tub of genius costs only £1.99 and would soften the roughest & the most toughest skin out there. I blogged last week I was suffering with dry skin & I happened to walk past a metal basket in Aldi with all these glorious pots of body butter that happened to catch my eye and even my fiancé suggested I try it. For £1.99 I wasn’t throwing money down the drain.

    As you can see from the photo the cream is quite firm which you need to work in to the skin quite well but eventually you get there & your hands feel silky smooth (sorry for the terrible “You don’t mess with the Zohan” quote). It smells amazing. I cannot even explain the smell. It is unreal. Simple.

    So stop before you head to one of those expensive beauty counters look at the places you would never look! Because you will find some fantastic little gems hiding somewhere like I did.

    Let me know if you’ve tried this body butter!
