YELLOW GOTH

Heyyy,

For the last 2 weeks i've been having so many problems with my domain ownership, it needs to be renewed but google won't let me log in to the apps thing. GRR so annoying so may just have to change my blog name... I don't really know how many problems this will cause me it's just so annoying. I hope I don't just lose my whole blog when the domain expires? EEK. Does anyone know much about this?

I'm absolutely loving yellow at the moment - it's definitely my  favorite colour of the season. I saw this dress in Topshop Oxford Circus the other day and loved the simple shape and 90's style thin straps. I'm never really a girly girl so toughened it up with my Warehouse leather jacket (which I haven't taken off since I got it), handmade choker and the trusty Jeffrey Campbell Coltranes which I don't think I will ever ever ever get bored of.

I'm trying to plan a day/night outfit for Field Day this Saturday, are any of you going? Come say hiiiiii :D







Dress - Topshop £18 // Leather Jacket - c/o Warehouse // Belt - Topshop £12 // Boots - Jeffrey Campbell Coltranes £120ish // Frilly socks - eBay £2 // Choker - Handmade

Sorry about the paleness - i've kinda decided to ditch the tanned look and embrace my inner ghost.

POSTCARDS FROM SHOREDITCH!

Yoo,

I recently went on a shoot with Warehouse and took part in a project they're doing at the moment called 'Postcards in Shoreditch'. It involves them collaborating with different bloggers wearing Warehouse in quirky locations in the amazing and fashionable East of London.

I met up with Rhian from the Warehouse team the day before the shoot at the Oxford Circus Warehouse store and I got the pleasure of being able to pick any four items to make up an outfit to shoot and then keep. There were so many amazingly cute things now the summer has(not) arrived so I was spoilt for choice. Firstly I saw this beautiful collarless leather jacket with quilted panelling and knew I had to wear it! I then saw these high waisted acid wash skinny jeans and this leather top and thought I would go all biker chic and double up the leather. I especially love the leather top as it has a pretty chiffon detailed back giving a contrast between femininity and biker style! Lastly I added a bit of colour with this red studded slouchy bag, which I haven't actually stopped wearing since i've had it - it's such a handy size!





I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Warehouse and especially Rhian for being so welcoming!

WISHLIST


1. I've had my 'eye' on this top from Tee and Cake for a while. (Get it? pa ha ha ha) I love all things dinosaur related and when I spotted this in the Oxford Circus Topshop the other day at £23 I knew I had to get it. The Tee and Cake section is absolutely amazing at the moment so it's definitely worth checking out the whole collection!

2. Again, Tee and Cake I LOVE this top, it has a really cute back aswell. As soon as I have a job all these goodies are mine :D This top is only £20, not too bad I didn't think.

3. This floral yellow dress is so cute, I love the casual cut and think it would look amazing with my coltranes and a leather jacket. It's only £18 too! You can buy here

4. I am absolutely lusting over the Buffalo version of these I saw in Oxford Circus the other day but I am definitely not willing to pay £100+ for them so when Lydia found these on ebay for under £30 I got a bit too excited. I still can't decide if I could pull them off though, I LOVE them, but i'm pretty tall at 5'9 without heels so i'm not sure if i'm too tall for them :(

5. OK so these Lanvin earrings are the one purchase that is way out of my budget at £495 and will be purchased 'if i win the lottery' but how beautiful are they? I love the tutti frutti colours.

6. I've been trying to hunt these babies down for ages and looked in every single shop but they have sold out for now, grrr. I will definitely own these soon! I already have the mint ones but love the clear chunky heel on these. Can be purchased from Topshop when in stock at £26!

What's your favorite item? Do you love Tee and Cake as much as me?
