hello sailor...

Top: vintage | Skirt: New Look | Earrings: H&M
Whilst on holiday I had every intention of taking outfit posts before I went out in the evening, however a few too many cocktails and fateful karaoke bars put pay to that and I only have this one outfit! Saying that, this is one of my favourite outfits that I've worn both in the UK (when it's sunny!) and on holiday. I may not be the skinniest of people but I've really been getting into wearing crop tops with high waisted skirts, as I am here. The skirt is actually navy despite the picture and I got it in New Look last year; it's really versatile and I've worn it with so many different tops. The top I got from a blog sale probably about a year and a half ago but I've only started wearing it lately - I love it though! The earrings are probably the ones I wear most and I got them in New York about four years ago so this is a pretty old outfit I guess.


Here is a picture of my face that night, just to prove I do leave the house occasionally! I'm not 100% sure of what make up I'm wearing but I know it's Avon Calming Effects foundation, Benefit They're Real! mascara and I do believe there's some Benefit SunBeam there too!

jubilee frolics...

I have honestly just had one of the best, if not the best weekend of my life! So thanks for that Queenie ;) My Jubilee celebrations began on Friday with a themed disco down the local which included the 'moth dance' and being told Justin Bieber was not on the playlist as he's not British... rubbish! Saturday was probably the most boring evening of my life so we'll skim over that, but then Sunday was brill as we all headed to the Jubilee themed pub quiz and then out on the town for my friend Flo's birthday. Monday was the best day of all though; we started at the local Party in the Park where we won far too many coconuts and then headed to our friends Phil and Lynne's beautiful house for a day of drinking, eating, cupcake competitions and three legged races! Here are some photos from my fab few days...










From top to bottom I am wearing:
1) New Look top, New Look skirt, Just Beauty headband, eBay necklace and Tesco glasses.
2) Debenhams jacket, Quiz dress and eBay necklace.
3) Vintage cardigan, Next lace top, New Look skirt.

How did you celebrate the Jubilee?
