Pastel Prints...

This year is flying by and it's very nearly summer, so it means the fabulous pastel shades are coming out of the wardrobe. I'm still attempting to sort mine out but massively failing, I'm surprised any of the drawers shut they are all bursting at the seems! But anyway in the process of sorting I rediscovered these fabulous turquoise patterned culottes that I purchased towards the end of Summer last year in the Primark sale. I seem to be rediscovering so many items of clothing I've forgotten I own in this wardrobe sort out, it's actually quite bad! 

So I've styled these culottes with a knitted lilac crop also from Primark, they had so many different colours of these last year and they were such fabulous basic tops for Spring. I think I bought almost every colour! And then I've worn my favourite kimono from last year this crochet number from H&M it was part of their Coachella collection. I've accessorised this outfit simply with my silver rings and watch and rainbow sunglasses, I actually bought a new pair of these in London this weekend which are slightly different but equally as fabulous (I'm sure they'll be in a blog post soon!).

Boho Coins...

I've loved the brand Kiss The Sky for a while now I discovered them last year and since have made them an absolute staple to my wardrobe. I love the boho festival vibe of all their pieces, so when Ark clothing (which has now sadly closed down!) had a huge sale I was sure to stock up on lots of fab Kiss The Sky pieces, this playsuit only cost an absolutely ridiculous £2.50!!

I love the style of this playsuit with it's low v back and sides, it is a great transitional piece worn with or without tights. The coin detailing on the trim is absolutely beautiful and everyone can hear you coming, if I was going on a beach holiday this year this playsuit would definitely be in my suitcase as a beach cover up!
I've accessorised this playsuit quite simply with just a black choker with a small silver moon pendant from Primark. I've used my new favourite lipstick Film Noir by Mac, I lost my Antique Velvet on a night out (oops!) and have been hunting for a suitable replacement since and this is the perfect trade!

Rainbow Vibes...

I love this time of year when the days are longer and the sun is finally out, it just makes you feel so much better about life every day, even if most of the time I'm just going to work! It also means its more acceptable to wear fabulous bright bright colours (this shirt included!) and festival season is creeping closer and closer. We actually finally booked flights to Rock Am Ring at the weekend, just need to get the tickets now!

I spotted this shirt in a local charity shop and instantly knew I needed it, I can't remember the exact price but it was less than £3 (bargain)! I thought it would be fab styled like this half tucked into a button down skirt, or thrown over a dress or jumpsuit as an evening cover up. 
This white button down skirt was an absolute bargain in Primarks sale last year, I can't wait to

Zig Zag Jumpsuit...

Over the past few months I've really been loving jumpsuits, I quite often struggle with getting them being quite tall very often the legs aren't long enough! However I have managed to find several that fit perfectly. I spied this Motel zig zag number in the ASOS sale and absolutely loved the style, I needed an outfit to wear for Derbys 2Q festival, it may not have been Coachella but it was absolutely incredible and just what Derbys thriving music scene needed! This jumpsuit was perfect for the occasion! 

The festival itself was incredible and had a fabulous line up of well known and also new artists, it even included our faves Reverend and the Makers who continue to play banger after banger! The festival was spread among different venues in the city and was very much like Dot to Dot festival in Nottingham.

The jumpsuit has a tie halter style neck and a low open back which are perfect for that festival vibe, I accessorised with my Toyshop tassel jacket for a bit of warmth (It's not quite Summer yet!) and chunky platform sandals. I have got my eyes on some fab new Dr Martens and these would have looked great for a more relaxed look!

Unicorn Fever...

Unicorn themed clothing is absolutely everywhere at the moment, and I am definitely one of the many fans! So this top was an absolute must for me, even more so when it went in to the Ark Clothing clearance sale. I absolutely love Ragged Priest and love all the different fabulous patches that emblazon their clothing with, this top is no exception that rule. The unicorn patches are absolute fabulous and were also a lot bigger than I expected, the tee is an oversized style.

I've been trying to sort my wardrobe and have some what of a clear out, but this has been resulting in the uncovering of old hidden treasures! One of these fabulous finds is the glitter unicorn necklace I've styled the top with that is personalised with my name, I bought it years ago probably when I was about 14/15 and was by a brand called Heidi Seeker. Having had a little browse of the internet it appears as if they only now sell on Notonthehighstreet.com and BigCartel.com, the range isn't as varied as it was back then which is a real shame! 

I've also styled this outfit with my fab pair of mom jeans I bought from a kilo sale last summer and also my new glitter Superga pumps which I'm gradually wearing in!
