Denim Daisies...

This summer I've been absolutely loving patches, as you may have seen in some of my previous posts I've been adding them to every piece of clothing I possibly can! This denim pinafore was my next target, I bought it from a kilo sale a few months ago and decided I wanted to add little daisy patches. I scattered them randomly across the front and back of the dress and absolutely love the finished result. 

I love anything with a daisy print and this outfit is daisy overload! I've styled it with my sequin daisy Topshop top, I've owned this for so many years and it always comes out summer after summer. 
I've styled these with a small daisy choker and my chunky Lamoda sandals and gold glittery ankle socks. This is the perfect outfit for warm Autumn days.

Rainbow Stripes...

I love to browse eBay to try and find fabulous and unique additions for my wardrobe, I often find that some of the best items are located in the states. Which means ridiculous shipping charges that are a bit risky for an item you don't truly know the condition of! I spotted these fabulous trousers for $3, luckily my aunt was in the states at the time visiting family so I asked if she minded me getting them posted to her, she didn't so I took the risk! She also kindly bought me back some fabulous Lime Crime treats which I'm absolutely loving!

These trousers were a little on the big side, I was half considering cutting them up in to shorts and making a matching top to make a little co ord. But once I'd put an outfit together I loved them, I have worn a chain belt to clinch in the waist as I have haven't had chance to take them in as yet. 
I styled with this fab backless crochet top from Primark and accessorised with a shell choker. I'm definitely clinging on to every little bit of Summer that is left!

Lace Maxi Dress...

Summer is over now and it's that horrible in between time of the year when the weather doesn't truly know whether it's hot or cold! Festivals are over and gig season is just beginning, I picked this incredible lace maxi up from Thrift Shop in Manchester (this place is becoming a favourite of mine!), it was only £5/6 so was an absolute steal! 

I bought it originally with the intention of wearing it to Leeds, but the weather unfortunately didn't allow it! Although it was cheap I didn't want to ruin it with mud stains on first wear. I'm definitely going to be getting it out of my wardrobe for a gig! 

I've styled it with a simple bandeau and crochet shorts under neath, I really struggled to find something that looked right to wear under but love the way this combo looks! I've accessorised with my home made rainbow Pom Pom headband. This is made from wool Pom Poms glued on to a glittery head band and was made with a little assistance from my customisation assistant Mother Goose!

Denim Patches Everywhere...

This Summer patches have been absolutely everywhere and I wasn't prepared to not join in on this trend. I really wanted an oversized denim jacket to full customise myself, so when I spotted this fabulous bargain in the Thrift Shop in Manchester I snapped it up. Thrift Shop is pretty new to Manchester so I was really excited to have a dig around, items are priced individually or you can also get multi buys, this jacket was only £10. 

I had a search for patches online and went a little wild, I kept forgetting which I'd actually bought! I ended up also finding a fabulous Unicorn sequin patch in Primark, it was attached to a small clutch bag which I decided to unpick and use as the centre piece of the back of the jacket. I only wanted to use sequin patches so managed to find a fab crown and rainbow for the front of the jacket and also small pink sequin flowers to be scattered around the back of the jacket. 
I am extremely pleased with the end result and the jacket has been great for the evenings during festival season!

I styled the jacket this time with this very pale pastel pink culotte style jumpsuit from Primark, I believe it is also available in black. I love this style of jumpsuit and Primark seem to have added quite a few different prints in this style this season.

Palm Prints...

I've recently been trying to clear out my wardrobe and get a lot of my old clothes listed and sold on eBay, this has been failing miserably and has just resulted in finding out things I'd totally forgotten about. Like this fabulous palm tree print two piece!

I bought this from Primark a couple of years ago, I saw it on their Instagram and from then wanted it desperately. I managed to find the set in Manchester much to my relief but since then I've only ever worn it a couple of times and it found its way in to the dark depths of my wardrobe. I absolutely love the pastel pink colour of the palm print its perfect for Summer, I wish I'd managed to find it in time for festival season.

I've styled this two piece set with my chunky white heels from Topshop along with two different chunky gold chains one with little pineapples and one with palm trees to continue the tropical vibe of the two piece! 
Now I've finally repurchased Candy Yum Yum I am wearing it, as the pop of brighter pink looks really great with the paler shades.
