Bohemian Queen


Hello my little fashionistas, 

I may have given you a little clue that I was heading off to V festival this weekend and wow what a weekend. The weather may have been miserable, but spirits were up, along with the bobbing of arms amongst the crowds of tiaras, flower crowns and feather headresses. And I couldn't not mention that performance by the one and only queen Bee! One word.... star-struck! 



Anyway, after weeks of perfecting the ultimate summery festival look, the rain crushed the dream. Most of the time, I ended up in my pink floral poncho or oversized gray hoodie. However, there were moments where I got to reveal underneath the huge plastic coat. 




Shorts: Vintage Levis £10
Tank Top: H&M £7.99
Jacket: Topshop £15


The long chiffon patterend jacket I wore is actually a maxi dress, but worn open it looks great for a wispy, bohemian feel to any outfit. I plan to wear it a lot this winter with boots. £15 in the Topshop sale... who could resist?

Before the heavens opened!


Long necklace with beads, owl pendant and a feather.
On a suede "chain". I love this, as it always looks really cool and boho.
£3 from the one and only Priamani.
Chain ring: River Islane £3
Peace bracelet set: Priamrk £3.

A deep brown leather belt with gold buckle. I bought this from a touring vintage fair for £4. 


And for the rest of the Saturday, the rain wouldn't subside, so I had to wear this little cheeky cover up!



Poncho: £9 from TESCO
Everyone looked amazing and the vibe was awesome. We spend so much time worrying about the perfect festival outfits, but when the rain kicks in and the musics pumping, all that matters is that you're having fun! And I DEFINITELY DID!

It's a walk in the park

A lazy sunny Sunday afternoon... perfect for a walk in the gardens.





























Baggy crop top: Topshop £10
Skater Skirt: Tammy £12
Leather Jacket: Topshop £55
Necklace: Primark £3

This is my favourite casual outfit. It's a pretty standard look, but dressed with the right accessories can look quite cool and edgy. As you can see, my lil skater skirt is from Tammy. Yes the little girl's shop... the one we all LOVED as children, but when I took my cousin in there, I saw this for £12 and was an absolute bargain considering everywhere else I'd seen it was at least £20.  

Gold cross ring: River Island £3
Cross midi ring: Adirning Ava £3
Chain rings: River Island £3
Black plait bracelets: Primark £2.50

My bargain necklace for £3 from primarni! Sometimes it
pays to shop around, as Topshop, french connection and Oasis
were selling very similar chains.


My well loved converse, paired with my pink frilly socks. I love this combination and will be sad when I won't get to wear them as much in winter. For an edgier look, wear your frilly socks with boots and chunky sandals. I know its the fashion faux wearing socks and sandals, but in this instance it's a fashion must. 







I'm still wearing my purple beaded dolphin anklet. I'm used to wearing that much now, I feel naked without it. 


Signing out for now lovelies
