yep, still harbouring a crush on dungaree style dresses.

they're just so darn easy to wear; I only have to decide what tee to wear underneath and I have an instant outfit.. simples. even better in the summer when this looser style will be perfect for beer garden lounging (ahhh beer gardens how I've missed you!) 

I'm hoping this is going to be the last time you see me wearing 1000 denier tights, I've made a decision to burn them all in one huge lycra fulled bonfire at the first opportunity.

denim pini dress: topshop

stripe crop top: vintage

hat: h&m

necklace: topshop

watch: american apparel

boots: office

before I head off to tuck into a roast chicken dinner (with proper gravy.. exciting shizz) I stumbled across some snaps from the flea market we visited in new york; I thought I'd pop them in as it's got me all of a flutter at the prospect of car booting in the summer, huzzah! 

anyone else out there a car boot fan? I've found some of my favourite vintage tea cups rummaging about in dusty boxes (ok, if I'm honest I've also purchased a horrific amount of tat but lets keep that between us!)

back soon!

cold days call for comfort!

that's exactly what I had whilst I was away, so my go-to uniform consisted of layers (in fact so many layers that I began to resemble an onion!)

I do love my h&m boyfriend jeans; it's definitely a style that seems to divide opinions between me and my friends! personally however I'm a fan of the slightly odd looser shape especially when worn with heels (for a day trekking around galleries I chose to wear mine with my well worn flat boots and simple breton tee!)

 the slightly over sized bubble coat was an impulse buy from primark and the hat was a topman sale find! 

hat: topman

breton stripe tee: river island similar here

navy coat: primark

boyfriend low jeans: h&m

belt & necklaces: urban outfitters

boots: vintage

after an early morning coffee we headed to uptown to the museum of modern art and the guggenheim to get our culture on! the guggenheim was the highlight for me because of the amazing architecture; I've never been inside a building where the design completely overshadowed the art (in a good way) you take the lift to the top and walk down along the spiral walkway which just seems to gently pull you along! 

the museum of modern art had more recognisable and well known exhibits but felt rigid and stuffy after the laid back fun at the guggenheim (we also had to queue for an hour to check in bags & the staff had a way of making everyone feel like naughty children... whoops) 

here's some snaps from my afternoon:
