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?
There is nothing I like more than a dress that I can wear all year round. This H&M dress is exactly that. It’s incredibly cute, cut out folksy style of it is great through the Summer for all my Festival needs but the colour of it just screams AUTUMN!
I have teamed it up with my faithful maroon fedora and my new clutch from Primark which I managed to pick up for £5! Funnily enough it goes perfectly well with my Aila cherry red docs! I love it when you buy something and it unintentionally works so well with something else you own.
Now Autumn has crept up on us I’m looking forward to a new wardrobe of goodies. However, I’m also enjoying mixing my current wardrobe and creating new looks that can keep me warm and cosy in these blustery months.

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!
