oh em geee the weather has been so up and down this week! I've gone from hiding under umbrellas during thunderstorms to whacking out my bikini in an attempt to get my tan on in the garden.. crazy.

I'm pretty keen to start wearing some of my summer wardrobe so when I woke up to sunshine last week I took these faux leather shorts from girls on film out for a whirl! I wanted these to be quite wearable (read.. not skintight/bum cheek peekage) I often find shorts hard to find as I'm between sizes but to my delight they're pretty darn perfect! I paired them with my new mesh top as I liked the mix of textures (I'm so glad I nabbed this asos one because the zara one I wanted sold out before I could get it!) the black shopper was a topshop sale buy, I wasn't sure if I even liked it at first but the semi transparent perspex won me over ..well that and the fact I can fit my laptop inside!

these leopard print daniel pumps are just gorgeous in the flesh, seriously babin'. I know you've probably twigged I'm a real flats/converse kinda girl so I'm always looking for cool slip ons to wear.. these are going to be an absolute staple for me with my skinnies, hurrah!

happy bank holiday guys!

back soon

laser cut dress: rare london (c/o)

trench coat: h&m

bag: vintage

sandals: shelikes (c/o)

I have to admit I've never been a huge fan of trench coats.. well until amy and megan that is. these two babes have been rocking trench coats with such panache that I have officially been converted #teamtrench. 

they are pretty darn perfect for this time of year though, not too heavy, not too light (especially with the unpredictable showers that seem to be following me around this week!) I've paired mine with this lovely dress from rare london, I loved the laser cut out details on the sleeves and the sheer layering on the body. I think if I wore it with a high pony and changed the shoes it could look a little more edgy too.

speaking of shoes, these chunky gladiator sandals are an actual dream. they've not given me a single blister since I've worn them so expect to see me wearing these puppies again soon! 

I hope you're all excited for the bank holiday? there's a vintage car boot sale on monday so I'm looking forward to dragging the bf round! until then I plan on buddying up with a family sized bag of popcorn and my pj's.. fun times.

back soon
