Corfu Style Diaries - #1

Here's the first outfit in my Corfu style diaries, and it's quite a simple, laidback look. I'm currently obsessed with this necklace combo from H&M, my Topshop cat eye sunnies and these gorge truffle collection sandals - these were my go to accessories and shoes of choice throughout my holiday. Cat eye sunnies are super flattering on a range of face shapes and luckily these suited mine (I always struggle to find ones that do), they also make any outfit look chic. I also mostly chose these sandals to wear in the evening because they're really comfy, add a bit of height and go with a multitude of summer outfits.
This outfit also features my patchy burnt legs, which I stupidly burnt on the first day.. and the apartment owner's cat who we called Lola, she was so cute.

New In - What I Bought in London

Jumper - Monki 

Shirt - George @ ASDA (I bought this beforehand but how nice is this shirt?? & only £12!)

Dress - Forever 21

Shirt - Primark

Skirt - Forever 21

Top - Monki

Postcards & bookmark - National Gallery, floral tin - Sass & Belle, Rose gold eye pencil - & Other Stories, Necklace - Accessorize

Heyyyyyyy,

So, here are the clothes & other things I accumulated whilst in London. As soon as we arrived & had dropped luggage off at the hotel, we headed straight to Oxford Street - ahhh shopper's paradise. Forever 21 always have amazing clothes in, and it was a bit of a floral overload in there but I managed to find the dress and skirt (which I think looks like it could be from Urban Outfitters) which will be perfect for spring/summer. I also picked up this bright tropical jumper from Monki which was on my Monki wishlist which I adore, along with the monochome top with contrasting stripes which I thought was a cool alternative to your average Breton striped top.
We braved the huuuge Primark but it was insanely busy & very hot inside so I just grabbed the polka dot shirt as soon as I saw it because I have been wanting one for forever, and it was a steal at only a tenner :-)
I also bought a few postcards of artists work including Monet & Van Gogh's paintings which were displayed in the National Gallery to go up in my room as well as cute rose bookmark & matching tin from Sass & Belle in Covent Garden.
Finally, the only item of makeup I got was this rose gold/pink eye pencil which is such a gorgeous shade from & Other Stories (their whole makeup & body range is amaaazing), and the only item of jewellery this pressed blue flower pendant which I thought was really cool.

See anything you like?

Last Summer OOTD

 Dress - Primark

Cardigan - H&M

Belt- H&M

Shoes - Forever 21

Bag - Accessorize

Hat - H&M

Okaaay, so this should have been posted a few weeks ago as summer is over & we are now into A/W but hey ho :-)

This was one of my favourite late summer outfits, really casual and comfortable but the dress is so flattering & cute & a complete steal for only £5! Good old primark, even if everyone and their mother probably has one of the £5 dresses haha. As I've mentioned before I absolutely love my bowler hat, so much so I have to stop myself wearing it all the time otherwise it would never leave my head! I do think it really completes this outfit, along with black accessories & shoes which tie the whole ensemble together.

 

 

Hope you like the look,

Longest title ever but I love a bit of Mumford & Sons :-)

On holiday we found this cute little beach with this big cave which I thought would be the perfect backdrop for a OOTD. Not much colour in this outfit but I really like how simple it is, and I wanted to make my shoes the focus because I absolutely love them. I originally saw the gold Jeffrey Campbell spiked sandals on tumblr and fell in love with them, and luckily I found this dupe pair on Forever 21 which are pretty much identical, and although I usually wear gold over silver I much prefer this pair - I really recommend Forever 21 shoes, these have to be one of my favourite purchases this year :-)

 

Still look like a bit of a ghost in these photos despite actually tanning a bit, well tanning for me anyway haha, so I apologise for how washed out I look & also the crazy windswept hair, t'was rather windy but hey ho.

 

Anyway hope you like the look,
