Since finding my mum's no doubt CD's around the age of 13, I've been super in love with Gwen Stefani & she's always been a big influence on how I dress. She's the reason I bleached my hair when I was 17 and first dared to wear red lipstick. I think she might have even been partly responsible for me falling for pin up style. 

After having black hair for two years, I needed a change, and not being one to do things by halves, I went blue. Since then I've found myself channeling 90's Gwen Stefani as you may or may not be able to tell. Ha. xo

Flower headband, polka dot pinafore & white socks - Primark, long sleeve black top - GAP, Dr Martens 1461's

I picked up this really cute little 90's style print pinafore dress today. Aside from basics, I don't go in to Primark a lot, but when I do go in I always have to go check out what's in the kids section! I'm usually a 6-8 but apparently I have the build of a 12-13 year old girl. If it means I can pick up cute dresses like this for £8, I'm totally fine with that. 

I also cut a whole load of my hair off today! I was going to wait and get it done properly, but as I always I got impatient and just went at it with my cheapo hair dressing scissors. It's kinda 1960's bouffant-esque and minus 3 inches of split ends, it looks a lot healthier!

✿ Gunning for Summer, stuck in Spring ✿

Cropped fur coat & body suit - Forever 21, gold rope chain & netball skirt - charity shop, super sparkly ring & pink pastel socks - Primark, Dr Martens 1461s

I've been co ordinating everything with my hair since dying it and there's been so many things at work that I've been tempted by. I'm in love with this bodysuit, it looks like it should be vintage and the colours in it are just perfect. The photo doesn't show them very well but my socks are the same pink as the bodysuit. They were a 4 pack of pastel colours from Primark and ideal for adding the finishing touches to an outfit. 

More pre emptive summer purchases - all from Forever 21

Summer has been taking it's sweet time arriving but I'm hoping for a late summer so it's nice and sunny for Bestival!

Cat sitting

Sunglasses & dress - Forever 21, sweatshirt - re-homed from a friend (I forgot to give it back), socks - Primark, shoes - Urban Outfitters

This week I have been cat sitting for my Dad while he's on holiday. We've had some beautiful sunshine, yet I've still managed to look like a total princess of darkness. Not the most exciting of outfits but I've got the ombre thing going on with my hair finally!

L to R: Rat eats cat food as cat sits and watches, cat is kept out of the way after proving useless in rat catching attempts

Whilst at my Dads, we had a bit of a Tom and Jerry style fiasco with Mog and a rat that was running rings round her after she brought it in to play. She was literally sat watching it as it ate her food, it then ran through her legs and jumped in to one of my Dad's work boots. We had to shut her in the house so we could go and release it outside without her bringing it straight back in again (which she still managed to do later on anyway).

China Town

Black bobble hat - New Look, oversized cut off shirt - eBay, tulle skirt - H&M, black glitter socks - Topshop, platforms - Office, gold chain - Claires

One of my favourite places in London is China town so when my boyfriend had a job interview in Soho so we decided to make a day of it and have a little impromptu date. We went for noodles, got bubble tea, had a look around the shops, got some cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon & went to the arcades in Leicester Square.

Last night I went to Soho to check out rockabilly club night; The Golden Pompadour. Hosted every Friday night at St Moritz on Wardour Street, a really lovely little venue with lots of character, it seemed like it could be a great night. Unfortunately I had to leave before the bands started to catch the last train home.
I actually ended up missing the train and had to stay at my cousins, got about two hours sleep before getting up at 5.30am to wander the streets of Acton (new territory to me) to try and find the tube station, travel halfway across London to Victoria to get the train home and then back out again half hour after I got home to get to work. Calamity!
