Crochet on Crochet...

If anything can make a summer outfit more fabulous then its crochet, I absolutely love it and definitely can't resist it when its such fab bright colours like this dress! 
The dress is from Primark, I'd been eyeing it up but didn't ever get round to trying it on but recently it's gone in to their sale and I ended up paying only £3 (I think!), an absolute bargain. I was tempted by the blue and orange version but thought the bright pinks and oranges were definitely more summery!
The dress is fitted but has lots of stretch so it doesn't cling too much and has a tie detailing on the neckline. I was slightly worried the dress would be see through because of the nature of the fabric but I was pleasantly surprised!
I've styled the dress with my maxi kimono, also crochet, from H&M it was part of the first Coachella collection a couple of years back and I've definitely got lots of wear out of it! I'm also wearing my trusty pom pom earrings and big cat eye lens sunglasses from Primark!

Fish Nets and Leather...

I'd been looking for a Metallica band tee for a while, I'm a big fan and hadn't managed to find one I liked enough, but when I saw this Master of Puppets oversized fit purple tee on Missguided I needed to have it. I love the 'burnt out' style of the print and the colour is much more me, the sleeves have a rolled up detail and its a brilliant upgrade from my Glastallica tee which seems to have disappeared deep into the depths of my wardrobe! 
Instead of wearing the tee lose I've tied it at the side to show the fishnet tight detail on my waistline, I'm also wearing my trusty leather shorts that I bought in Pop Boutique, Manchester years ago they just keep getting better and better with age too!

I've accessorised with big circle sunglasses, a triple banded choker and these fab big hoops with black tassel detailing. I'm wearing my new favourite Limecrime lipstick, Mercury from their metallic range I absolutely love it and I'm toying with the idea of buying the new mermaid metallics set!!

Birthday Suit...

In case I haven't gone on about it enough, I was at Download for my birthday which was Aerosmith day. I obviously wanted a suitable 'birthday suit' for the occasion and what could be more perfect then rainbow sequins, even though I may have been slightly out done by Steven Tylers incredible full length sequin jacket! I had my eyes on the Jaded London rainbow jacket last year so when Pretty Little Thing released a very similar style jacket this year I needed to have it, definitely an investment piece as it will see many more festivals in the future and will always make a statement.

I bought this coin bandeau off AliExpress it comes as like a long scarf and can be tied to the desired style, so you can wear as a top in different ways and also has a tie around the hips. I love the colours of the different beads and coins within it.
I've styled these with a pair of high waisted cropped flared trousers from Missguided, with the intention they would not need to be tucked into wellies so you could still see the fabulous flare detail, in this look I've styled with my patchwork gold and silver boots but these were definitely not practical for Download!
I'm also wearing my very fabulous No Basic Bombshell custom rainbow mini glitter earrings, I absolutely adore these they look so great with this look and with absolutely any outfit. I want to wear them every day, I've got my eyes on the pineapples and flamingos next!

Vintage Abstract Brights...

It feels like Summer is finally here to stay which means the bright wardrobe is staying! 

I was at Download last weekend for my birthday and had an absolutely incredible time, Aerosmith were definitely the highlight of the weekend along with Biffy Clyro, even the weather held out and it wasn't an absolute mud bath like I was expecting. I now can't wait for Trnsmt in three weeks, counting down already!

I bought this dress from a weigh and pay a couple of months ago, I spotted the bright colours hidden amongst the rails and was instantly drawn to it. The dress was a perfect fit so I had to have it, I love the abstract bright print and the colours within the design look great together. 
I've styled the dress with these fab tassel and beaded earrings, I'd been eyeing them up in H&M for a few weeks then they went in the sale so I obviously needed them.
