Boxing Day Blooms

Dress - 'Madam Butterfly' - Gorgeously named Bullring Boutique
Shoes - Debenhams (Sale 2 years ago)
Bag - EBAY
Jewellery - Sparkly Christmas prezzies <3
Nails - Chanel 'Corramandel'
Lippy - MUA

Hello my beauties. Happy Christmas! The last couple of days have been a haze of eating too much, drinking too much and generally anything that ends in 'too much'. I very much feel like an overstuffed Christmas Turkey - Waddling is so in Vogue, no? For the annual Boxing Day outing I stuck to what I know best - Short, Floral and with a slash of red lippe. The dress is curtesy of my lovely little sister -apparently she aw it and immediately declared it a 'Sarah Dress' my she knows me well! Show me anything with an olde worle pattern and a little bit of lace and I'm putty in your hands. Think I went a little Doll house chic with my patent shoes and matchy nails. Ah well - Indulge me - It is Christmas afterall!

Todays plans include a Winter Walk with the gorgeous boyfriend and new camera - match made in heaven (I hope). Then a festive 'Blitz' of my room. Lots of selling coming up as I attempt to tackle the wardrobe of doom once and for all.

I hope you've all had a beautifl time and are fat and happy as cats right now.

Oh and yes, I cut my fringe. Two minutes before going out - with my sister in the bathroom. Thankfully it worked ;)

Madelines 'Summer walk' competition

Hey babes, I hope you're all well and good! As you might know if you follow me on twitter I was having a little bit of a melt-down last night over financial issues having spent the day haring around town trying to get it all sorted I wasn't that impressed to hear I'd have to wait till today at the earliest to fix things up!

However, every cloud has a silver lining and seeing as I had a free none-finance based evening I decided to set about working on a competition enty for the gorgeous Madelines 'Summer Walk' competition.

The competition basically is to design a gorgeous outfit that you would wear on a summer walk and wether it be in an outfit post , a polyvore build or any other format post it on your blog. For full details you can check out the post about it here and please do head over and check the rest of her blog while you're there - it's one of my all time favourites!

 

So, for my entry I decided to put a little fashionismyh2o twist on things and design three outfits based around the same simple tank top that would fit varying styles.

Here we are :

Outfit one - Rock n roll

 This would deffo be my style pick. I love the black shorts I think they'd be super flattering as well as cool in the heat. The sandals are funky enough to add a real edge to the outfit without being too difficult to walk in. And as for the ring - LOVE ha-ha.
Outfit Two - Girlie

 This outfit is so freakin cute. It's not exactly my personal style but if I saw it on someone else I would love it. The shorts are so gorgeous in a vintage esque way and as for the sandals - j'adore!

Outfit Three - Boho

This is a very laid-back California girl set. I absolutely adore the shorts with their pocket detailing and the sandals are amazing! This'd definitely be my second choice outfit as I love a bit of bohemia in the warm weather!

So there we are then honey's three Summer Looks for the last of the summer sun, which ones your fave?
If you like / want anything out of the sets let me know and I'll find you a link to the item :)

OOTD 'My dress came!!'

Hello lovelies, I hope you're all well. You might recall a couple of weeks ago I was a verrry excitable blogger rabiting on about the gorgeous dress I'd just ordered off Etsy.
(If you missed the post you can find it here)

Well, today I'm an even more excitable blogger rabiting on about the fact that
MY DRESS HAS ARRIVED

I've never been so happy to see a postman with a large package (please forgive  how rude that sounds)

Upon seeing the dress my mums first comment was '...This isn't a wedding dress is it?' LOL thankfully for her and my boyfriends heart-rates I'm not planning anything (although this would make the perfect wedding dress for some beautiful hippie fairy bride)

Anyway, here's how I wore it whilst not being a fairy bride :

(New Look platform shoes + Vintage studded belt + Asos Jewellery + Boyfriend ring)
Also as you've probably noticed fashionismyh2o has had a little makeover, let me know what you think?

My Vintage Feature

Hey everyone! I hope that you're all well and good and up for reading about something fabulous! As you all know fashionismyh2o is a little bit crazy about finding new and exciting places to shop and today I have a gorgeous site to feature that I'd love for you all to check out! http://www.myvintage.co.uk/ is an absolutely fabulous vintage website which is just loaded with gorgeous goodies that would be the perfect  treasure to add to any wardrobe! Run by the lovely Emma who you can find here on twitter, myvintage is the place to go if you're on the hunt for something beautiful and most importantly unique!

I'm super pleased to tell you that I've been having a browse around myvintage (ultimate torture having to resist snapping loads up) and I've compiled for you a list of my favourites which I've got for you here ... let the drooling commence ;) 

Firstly I've chosen this beautiful floral dress which in my eyes is the perfect retro summer frock! The colour is just the prettiest pale green and the floral patterning is uber cute. Perfect for hot days teamed with a cute sandal or a nude pump for an evening drinks look with a vintage twist. The halterneck shape makes this the perfect dress for all you pear-shaped lovelies but honestly it's so cute I think it might just tempt me too!
Myvintage £34.00

Next up on my Top Picks is this super elegant black dress. The shape of this beauty is just perrrfect - imagine how flattering it would be! Then you have the detail on the dress which keeps it from being a boring black dress and turns it into the perfect LBD to have in your wardrobe! This is definitely a versatile piece - formal enough for a wedding, cocktail party or posh drinks but then casual enough to team with some cute flats for a perfect summer shopping outfit.

Myvintage £42.00

Then we have this beautiful deep burgundy dress which I had to add to this list! I'm actually in love with the rich wine-like colour and I feel it'd flatter practically every skin-tone. The fabric is lovely and light and the length and cut of the dress make it a super flattering piece. On top of this the delicate gold detailing adds a perfect twist to the material and turns it into a showstopper. Again this is a piece that could take you from the side walk to the ballroom - gorgeous!

Myvintage £26.00

I literally squeeled when I saw this bag! I sat there for about 10 minutes saying to myself 'I'm sure this looks like a Birkin' it's classic, gorgeous and just looook at the material - mhmm! This baby would finish off any outfit to perfection and add a gorgeous vintage twist. 

Myvintage £38.00

Lastly we have this fairy-tale piece! Truly stunning it glitters like a mermaids tail and I for one would love to go for a swim (or you know... walk) in this! It seems the kind of skirt that would make you feel like a princess in the middle of the most mundane suburb and that is never a bad thing!

Myvintage £24.00

So there we are lovelies! Please head over to myvintage and check out their gorgeous stock and check back here as I'm thrilled to say  I'll be torturing myself all over again next month and featuring Augusts favourites ;)
