I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!

I can't believe it's been two weeks since I posted last! Absolutely disgraceful, I know... But to be fair, I was chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool in Florida. I had an amazing time as you could probably tell from my last two posts so I won't bore you with too many more details; just a few outfits...

This skirt was about £30 from vintage department store Blitz on Brick Lane in London- though the price was a bit much for an item of second hand clothing, I couldn't resist the print! It's so summery and looks great with my black cropped tee (£8 Topshop). 

As I mentioned, I'm now home and on a complete post-holiday come-down. Nothing compares to Orlando- the sun, the shopping, the constant supply of things to keep you entertained... It's awesome to be back with my friends though- I've managed to keep myself busy each day since I've been home which is helping me to stop feeling too sorry for myself! Of course, I've managed to fit in some shopping too- Urban Outfitters shopping to be exact. I've been looking to get some new jeans that fit well for a while and seeing as I returned home to a freshly topped up bank account, I felt as though today was a good opportunity to satisfy my need. I always have good experiences with denim shopping in Urban Outfitters. Although it tends to be a little more pricey than Topshop (jeans averaging at £45 rather than £38-£40) I'm completely behind the fact that you get what you pay for- a pair of great fitting trousers. My favourite brand for jeans has been BDG for a while now so they were the first that I checked out. I found the perfect colour (a bright/dark indigo if that's possible!) so headed straight to the fitting room only to be greeted by the fact that I needed a smaller size... Turns out that the binging in FL had been counteracted by all the walking! To cut a long story short, I bought  the jeans as well as a pale denim shirt (long sleeved) to wear with them. I got the idea from an outfit I saw Alexa Chung wearing which featured in one of my previous posts. I'll be wearing the outfit tomorrow so I'll take some snaps and have them ready ASAP!

I'm afraid that's all for now folks- hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things soon! I'm sure now that I'm home with things to do and people to see I'll start thinking about my outfits a lot more again- it's a bit of a no brainer in the heat in Orlando!

HILARITY!

DOUBLE DENIM

As nights out go, last night was a good one! It was one of my close friend's belated 18th birthday celebrations so, despite my current financial situation, I headed out with everyone. Unfortunately, I only have one photo from the entire evening... This photo is not something to be impressed with so you'll have to rely on my incredibly well-crafted description to conjure up a sufficient mental image of my outfit!

We spent our night at Thekla- a boat come club in the centre of Bristol known for it's more casual approach to going out. I chose to wear some indigo denim high-waisted Levi's- unlike most vintage shorts, they're a great fit as they're relatively short and don't have the typically unflattering folded bottoms. Teamed with my black cropped tee from Topshop, bear legs and indigo denim jacket I was set for dancing the night away. That, and the dark colours of my outfit meant that none of the hundreds of drinks that were inevitably going to be spilt on me would be visible...  Going back to my crop top- I can't get enough of them right now. They're so versatile, in particular the range of them that Topshop have brought out. You can see here that they've covered a colour for every occasion. My favourite part about them; they look great both dressed up and dressed down.

As I just mentioned, I went for double denim. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with double denim- you just have to be prepared to look slightly 90's... Like most things, if you feel like you look good in it you most likely will! Alexa Chung always looks great, but some of the best outfits I've seen her in are when she's  pairing more than one item of denim clothing.

This is in no way my photo! 

If you were interested in seeing my superb drunk photo taking, here it is! You can also see my new earrings- they look lovely but I made the mistake in purchasing them from Claire's... My ears were burning the whole night. Never again. 

My Bobbi Brown lipstick in "Guava" is the best thing I own...
