Tartan pleated Skirt: COW Vintage Rework

Knee Socks: Top shop

Dr Martens Shoes

Choker: EBay store

Kanken Bag

 

As you may have noticed the other day I went to The Vintage Kilo sale and ventured out to The Custard Factory in Digbeth! I really loved my outfit so thought I'd share with you extra snaps I took on that day! I love my denim jacket and as it's getting closer to spring and summer where the weather is picking up and the sun is coming out I think its more appropriate to wear it. I got this skirt for only £4 from COW and I cant believe I haven't worn it more often! The title of this post is called knee socks as well im wearing them! I decided to be more confident and I love the style so I went for it! I think they make an outfit look so different and I paired them with light denier tights for a better effect. The socks give a more 90's edge to the outfit!

LATE NIGHT TRIPS.

Hello. So this is quite an overdue post. I remember taking these photos about 1-2 weeks ago and I completely forgot about them! I didn't want them to go to waste even if the New Year is right here and Christmas has passed! These are taken at the Custard Factory which is definitely an amazing place to take photos- even at night. It looked super pretty with all the lights on and the trees lit up! My outfit is pretty simple but perfect to keep warm during these colder months! I'm in love with this camel coat and perhaps wear it with every single one of my outfits! My scarf is from New Look and I have plenty of tartan scarfs as they are so wintery and gorgeous!

COSMO EDIT: FASHION SHOW

What's up guys?! On Sunday 28th on September, I went to a fashion show!! It was the Autumn/Winter fashion fix show which took place in Birmingham. I was invited to take a seat on the front row so I did! It was such a good show and definitely made me want to buy some things! It showed the new season trends from Top Shop/ Top Man, River Island, Whistles and Reiss. The makeup was done by Urban Decay and I loved it with an absolute passion! Trends this A/W included, Red, Faux Fur, Tapestry/folk, Metallics and Pastels. My personal favourites were Pastels for that 60's Twist and Metallics to totally transform an outfit.

COW VINTAGE

 

         Skirt: COW Vintage, £10

           Dungarees: COW Vintage, £20   

          

Hello Lovelies! That's right you guessed it I went shopping and bought more clothes! For a while I have wanted a pleated skirt and I'm not normally a big fan of leopard print, but this skirt just looked really good on the hanger and being slightly big headed it looked good on me! I thought for £10 it's such a good price and for Vintage, which is my favourite, I couldn't resist! Dungarees are my thing right now! I tried some on in Urban Outfitters and just fell in love but they were out of my price range! I knew that COW sold them so when I came I saw them in my size for £20 and immediately bought them! They are quite over sized which I love as it gives a 90's feel to the outfit!

 

I'm going to Paris for a few days, so there will be many outfit posts coming including these items of clothing!

SHEFFIELD

Hello Lovelies

I went to Sheffield! It was actually a rather pleasant day which at some points made me smile very big as a certain shop was found - which I love!

You might spot a little yellow shop which you guessed it! COW Vintage! Its my absolutely favourite! Everything in there I could buy, all the crazy styles and colours I actually like instead of my black white and grey tones!





In case you didn't know this a English Lecture inside a church at Sheffield University!

 



Can you tell its my favourite?

 



Absolute Essentials!



Thought this was pretty cool when I saw it!



Another awesome Vintage Store



I just find it completely and totally cool!

During this day, I also ate food but I took it in before the camera came out, so I give you my greatest apologies!

Have you ever been to Sheffield? Did you like it?

Love you all!

List of Loves - June Favourites! | Laura Ann

Hello Lovelies!

So I haven't done a favourites blog yet but I've wanted to for a long time but I didn't feel I had enough to talk about....until now! Lets just jump right in! Here are this months favourites!

The first thing is my amazing Penny Board! Last August, on the very last day in New York I purchased a Penny Board! I had really wanted one for a very long time but never bought one... until this holiday! I met two lovely workers called Ben and Byron who helped me out and I've never been so happy with a purchase (apart from clothes they're fabulous!) So this is my Penny!

 

 

The next thing I have been loving is this book: Alexa Chung IT! Let me tell you something, its incredible! Possibly the greatest book I have ever read EVER. The way it is written is so relatable even though her life is much more fabulous than mine, you kind of connect with it! I got it from Urban Outfitters for £16.99 which I guess is expensive for a book but its completely and utterly worth it!

 

The book shows up weird on camera because its a funny material so the lines are not actually there

I'm a complete shoe addict and its gotten quite serious as im stealing my sisters shoes now... We both love Converse and my sister has awesome ones especially these which are so funky and great for summer as they're really bright and colourful! I think these are limited Edition but I don't remember as they are from Florida in 2010.

 

 

 

Back to Books! Ever heard of John Green? Of course he's the author of many books but most popular The Fault in Our Stars! Although im not talking about that one- Paper Towns. Im reading Paper Towns and im addicted- not going into too much detail but its just as good as Tfios!

 









Next on my list of loves is a Kimono! The very popular, the very amazing Kimono. I think these look amazing dressed up or dressed down but I honestly love them! Mine is a very bright pink Patterned design from Primark for just £13!

This is me wearing the Kimono obviously!

I Went to the custard Factory in Birmingham the other day and there's this Vintage store that I fell in love with! I bought some Glasses from there and im now officially addicted to them! I feel they make an outfit abit different and they look very chic!

I could ramble on about a million more things but im going to leave it here... for now! Please let me know what you are loving and I'll talk to you again soon!

Fathers Day & Fashion Photography!

 

Hello everyone!

I have many posts to come but I need your help! I've been interested in photography a lot, especially linking to fashion so I need your guys opinions on things that I post in the future so just comment below for me what you think!

Anyway today was Fathers Day and we went out to Birmingham! We went to The Custard Factory which is an urban area where many graffiti artists make art and also there are some really cool vintage shops and office spaces! It was a lovely day!

There were some amazing photography spots which really interested me and my Dad! 

For my outfit I went for a classy chic style with a bright red lipstick and a classic bowler hat!

The pictures are taken by my Dad so that's a bonus!!

The glasses I'm wearing are from a vintage store in the Custard Factory and I fell in love with them!! My bowler Hat is from Boohoo.com and my blazer was from New Look!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend and Happy Fathers Day!

Love you Lovelies

New Buys: River Island Shoes

Hello Everyone!

So I have spent even more money! I swear I have a problem because I can't go a day without shopping or spending a little bit of money BUT I have wanted this particular pair of shoes for a very long time but could never afford them!

I went into my local river island and went straight to the sale and in the shoe I wanted in the last size for £15 from £45 were the exact shoes I have been wanting!! That last size was my size it was just like fate!

The shoes are very stylish and go with every outfit! I know they're not for everyone but I seriously love them with a passion!

They are the chunky cut out boots that look a little like this:

Have you got anything on your shopping list?

Love you lovelies
