It's Still Rock and Roll

Cardigan & Leggings - H&M, Top - All Saints, Boots - New Look

The last two day I've seemed to have adopted some kind of rock chick vibe in terms of some of the bits and bobs I've been wearing.  None of it is planned mind you, just the way the cookie crumbled.  After Sunday's wardrobe clear out, I found a few jems lost in the depths of my drawers (though I maybe should have chucked them).  One of which was this rather unique top from All Saints with such a awesome design and detail on the back I just had to hold on to this one.  This matched with my buckle boots and zip leggings it was very biker/rock chick-esque.

Yesterdays look was much more feminine and summery - due to drastic weather changes in London - I also managed to find this little beaut on a lonely rail.  I bought the dress some years ago when I was travelling around Australia, in a shop called Supre (is that still around in Oz?).  

The only reason I don't wear this as often as I should is because it's strapless (why I bought strapless dress when I can't wear them I don't know) - you see I have a rather large bust and I'm yet to find a strapless bra that does the job quite frankly.  Though thanks to the high street finally realising there are girls with bigger busts that don't want to spend a fortune or wear bras made for their grandma's I found quite a great selection in Debenhams, one of which matches perfectly with the dress - could you tell it was a strapless dress if I didn't tell you?

Anyway back to my original point, I teamed this rather summery outfits with one of my favourite Summer jacket - this studded beauty from Primark, bringing us back to the rock chick vibe.

Jacket - Primark

I just adore this jacket and I'll tell you exactly why it's my favourite Summer jacket - it's light, it's versatile (it goes with dresses, maxi's, leggings etc), it's a great fit both feminine and edgy with the stud detail - what more could you want in your jacket?

What's your go to jacket for the warmer weather?

And now in other news - here is what I managed to clear out of my wardrobe on Sunday...

It's not as much as I hoped, but it's better than nothing, I just can't let go of my clothes! I'm donating the bag on the left to charity, and if I ever get around to it, I'll be putting the items on the right on Ebay.

Anyone else a bit of a hoarder of clothes like me?

Taking it to the Maxi-mum...

So my next must have for Spring/Summer apart from the headscarf is the Maxi Skirt. There are so many good selections on the high-street with hundreds of styles, patterns and colours, there's one out there to suit everyone.  Here is just a few I have my eye on already :)

I'm quite short at 5'3'' so I do struggle to find ones to fit, but I make do by either rolling them up, wearing them high waist or with heels.

I have rolled this one at the waist so it doesn't drag on the floor - I find maxi skirts so versatile, they also make me feel really feminine and elegant.

Top - H&M, Skirt - Dorothy Perkins, Sandals - Office, Ring - Rokit, Necklace - Brick Lane 

Though I also have a soft spot for Maxi Dress, and have no doubt they'll be a big part of my Spring/Summer wardrobe I haven't yet seen any that tickle my fancy on the high street.  I've been finding loads of gorgeous dresses on Etsy, Ebay and Portobello market though, which is a major thumbs up!

What are your thoughts on Maxi's for this Spring/Summer?

Much to Do about Nothing...

So here it is, my new do....

I love my new barnet even more now that I've had the chance to style it myself. I love the colour - the contrast between the light and the dark, and love how it blends so well.  I love the feeling of a new hair style, for me I just find it so reviving and it makes me feel like a whole new person.

The weather is also starting to pick up a little too, which always brightens my spirit.  Yesterday I spent the rather pleasant evening down the local with a few work friends, it was so nice to stand outside in the warmish evening sipping my Rose with good conversation flowing.

 This ring was another bargain find at Primark for a pack of three - a bow, a heart and a flower, unfortunately clumsy me managed to break it and lose it on my way home - sad times, because I adore this ring and it's the reason I bought the pack in the first place.

Ring - Primark

The weekend hasn't been filled with much excitement unfortunately, I was working today which was massive sucky bums and I'm spending my Sunday having a massive clear out.  My wardrobe is far to packed and I haven't worn a lot of this stuff for ages - so I'm thinking Ebay or Charity shop depending on what it is.

Anyone else having a clear out? What are you doing with your old things?  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
