Polka Dot pretty

 (Hat H&M, Jumpsuit vintage, bandanna Ebay, boots ASOS, watch c/o Daniel Wellington)

The last few weeks have been so hectic that I've been dressing a lot more for comfort than for actually looking nice in public. This isnt ideal working in fashion but th cold days and early morning and late nights have taken their toll on my outfit choices.

This recent busy schedule also meant that when I found this dream of a vintage jumpsuit on Ebay for £7, I hit "BUY IT NOW" without hesitation and essentially waited by the door until it arrived. It's everything Ive ever dreamed of and fits so well! Swishing around in it on it's own or with a jumper and jacket over the top are just ideal for when I'm running round like a giant polka dot crazy lady.

I've teamed it with a little red bandanna as a neck tie, my Daniel Wellington watch, some seriously messy hair and my super beyond amazing blue boots from ASOS.

Anyway... I'm off for an early night. But don't forget that you can still get 15% off a Daniel Wellington watch of your choice... or maybe just get an early Christmas present for someone (or yourself) with code fashion-fade

Treat Yo self

Polka dot Love,

Something a little more dressy for you guys today, because I actually don't always look like I've just rolled out of bed... well at least I hope I don't.

So this is basically one of my current favourite outfits including this beautiful tie waist shirt by Dancing Leopard. I was recently introduced to the site SilkFred and instantly fell in love. The site features loads of new and independent designers which is perfect if you're looking for something that's just that little bit different, I get loads of pieces from this site and also love knowing that I've bough from independent brands and new designers.

The necklaces are various ones that I've collected over the years that I like to wear all at once, mainly because looking like the female Mr. T is exactly what I'm going for.

Vintage Modern

(Dress thrifted, Shoes Steve Madden, Ring YSL, Jacket thrifted, Bag Mulberry Blossom pochette)

Mixing vintage pieces with brand new things is a fundamental rule that my wardrobe has been based on ever since I turned up to college back in 2008 wearing my new Topshop dungarees and some vintage snow boots that I'd found in a Charity shop for £3. Needless to say, I thought I looked sensational.... but hindsight is a wonderful thing and I think I'd just watched too much Napoleon Dynamite.

So,  due to my tendency to purchase bold second hand items, I fell in love with this pinstripe jacquard dress that has a Marks & Spencer's label in the back neck that is so old I think it might disintegrate, as well as a fibre content that should probably indicate that I could spontaneously combust if I were to be anywhere near a naked flame. But at a price of £1, I obviously love it, and I love stylng it with my new Steve Madden lace up heels and my little Mulberry Blossom purse even more!

I think there's something pretty special about giving old clothes new life, although I  wouldn't all rush and buy a pair of jazzy snow boots any time soon.

Clothes have feelings too.
