New York Blues

(Trainers Vans, sunglasses Quay Australia, top Zara, Trousers Topshop, Lipstick is MAC red)

Here I am being a total rebel and throwing it back on a Tuesday. This is an outfit from back in November when I was in New York for Thanks Giving.... aka my pre-Christmas break of dreams <3

These photos were taken on one of those days thats freezing cold but amazing and sunny all at the same time... perfect weather for a pair of Quay Australia's amazing shades! I got mine from ASOS, but you can also get your mitts on them via TOPSHOP and their own website. This is an outfit I wore for a stroll in Central Park and a trip to a flea market, totally practical for walking and scouting out bargains!

Anyway, one of the reasons for this post is that I'm thinking of doing more posts on my travels and my top tips on the places that I visit... Give me a holla and let me know what you guys think... and also if there's any features you'd like to see on Fashion-Fade, I'm all ears people!

Beautiful Barcelona

(Sunglasses QUAY AUSTRALIA, Fluffy jacket H&M, Boots Dr MARTEN, Bra ASOS, wet look leggings TOPSHOP past season, faux leather jacket New Look, Dior looky-likey sunglasses EBay)

Those of you that follow me over on Instagram ( @penelopesarah ) will have seen that I spent this weekend in beautiful Barcelona. This was a last minute city break with the boyf but it turned out absolutely amazing! We stayed in a private room in the GENERATOR hostel and our room was absolutely beautiful from the amazing tiles in the bathroom to the pure luxury of having our own terrace!

We spent our days roaming the city, looking at the incredible Gaudi buildings and Cathedral and washed it all down with authentic Spanish food at the markets and lots of Spanish beer and wine. I haven't visited the city for about ten years and it had changed so much. If you're planning a trip, I'd recommend staying in the hostel as its walking distance to Sagrada Familia and they do a mean Goat's cheese salad! My favourite area is the Gothic Quarter where you can visit the food market and also sit in the sunshine with fresh bread, cheese and a slab of Spanish omelette! (there's even veggie options)

All in all, we had the best time. Until next time Barcelona!

Peace and Love,

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,
