summery spending spree

I don't what it is but I cant help but spend at the moment, I think it's the sun that is making me wanna shop! When it's raining I always have to lug around a umbrella and my fur coat and it just gets in the way when I'm trying to look at things.

There's so many nice things in the shops at the moment and it's all summery clothes and I feel like I want to update my wardrobe with some slightly more summery dresses.

I found a quirky shop that sells vintage and fancy dress clothing and I havent yet found any vintage clothes in there that I like, but I did buy a gorgeous vintage inspired 50's dress in there the other day. The dress is cut from a 50's inspired pattern and recreated in modern fabric.

I love the shape of it, I think it's really flattering.



I also bought some shoes that I felt were essential for the summer and where they're wedges they are really comfy to walk in too. I think they will look really nice with a long maxi dress.


Wedges, £24.99, New Look

They have some really nice things in New Look at the moment and with the New Look magazine they are giving out 20% off vouchers at the moment, which is even better. I got this cute stripey crop in there, I had to get it because I love the lace and pearl collar, it's so cute. I've combined it with a darker navy on the bottom, which is flattering for my pear shape and I think it makes me appear more hourglass.


Top, £16.99, New Look

Also, I have my bikini sorted for summer. It's the perfect bikini, it's red and it's polka dot! Here's a picture of my friend modelling the bikini for my styling portfolio...wish I looked like this in it, but I would have to cut out all the chocolate, pizza's and pesto pasta if that were to happen!




and lastly something I have been lusting after but don't know if i can justify spending £28 on it, what do you think?

My new job at New Look... and the lovely new outfits that come with it!

After returning from University for summer, I simply needed to find a job. I really desperately didn't want to go back to my part-time job of four years at Matalan. You know one of those jobs where you have been there so long, you kind of get stuck in a routine of returning again and again, because it just seems easier.

Well, this time I decided I will find a new job that I enjoy and preferably that involves my love for fashion.

So, after lots of CV's handed out and no response, I went into New Look to hand in my CV and had a chat with the manager then I was called up for an interview, then just 2 days later I was told I had the job!

I couldn't decide which I was more pleased about, the money I would be earning or the 50% discount!! :D

So here are some of my outfits...
