U (NI) Fit me better than my favourite sweater…

UNIF CAKE SWEATERUNIF CAKE SWEATER DETAILUNIF RAINBOW GLAMOROUSEASY DIY FLORAL ROSE CROWNUNIF RAINBOW JUMPERDIY FLORAL CROWNJACK & HEV SINGINGUNIF RAINBOW SWEATER
Rainbow Jumper: UNIF @ Glamorous
Denim Shorts: levi 501 cut offs
Rose Crown: DIY
Denim Jacket: Primark Mens
Dog: Outer Space (‘:

I cannot begin to tell you how long I have lusted over this jumper. I looked at it on Nasty Gal & Dolls Kill a million times & have been so damn close to checking out but I just couldn’t justify paying the ridic customs charges *sigh* but ‘wait a minute’ I hear you cry, if you could only find it on American sites, how the hell do you have it without paying customs?! Well my friends, Glamorous have just started stocking UNIF so yeah, they basically answered my prayers & saved me from dishing out my money to the good ol’ customs people! Weheyyyy! :)

I can now walk around looking like a packet of rainbow drops! & if you ask me, that’s pretty freaking awesome! ;) I was a little scared to wear it at first as it’s so bright & I’m not gonna lie, every time & wear it out in public I have been stared at A.LOT, people obviously aren’t ready for this much colour at once (‘: Ahh well, if Hayley Williams can pull it off, so can I, right? ;)

You may have seen me post a few of these crowns on Instagram over the weekend. Yeah, yeah, I am completely aware that I am a walking blogger cliché with these blooms on my head but ya know what, don’t knock it until you have tried it. These wee flowers make me feel super summery & they make a nice change from my usual black hats! :)  I have made a tutorial which will hopefully go live on my You Tube soon so sit tight ;) it was dead easy & cheap to make too! Seriously thinking of starting up YouTube again properly too…hmmm, we’ll see.

Hope you have all had an awesome weekend, oh & enjoy the photo of me & Jack singing (‘: Hehe he makes me chuckle (‘:

Shorts: Levis (501’s)
Bag*: La Moda
Sunglasses: Quay BAT’s @ ASOS
Belt: H&M
Earrings: H&M

Holy crap guys…I’m not wearing a hat for the first time in FOREVER! Wowzers, normally hats are a bit of a novelty for people but nope, not for me, not wearing a hat is a pretty big change for little old moi. Anyway, aside from all the ‘samey’ photos, I am here today to show you my new Summer bag. Say hello to Rio, my new La Moda rucksack. I was a little apprehensive of the colour at first, mainly because of my hair, I thought there could have been a bit of clashing going on but hey presto, they actually go together pretty well ;)

I have a bit of a thang for rucksacks, I am still a tomboy at heart, carrying a handbag around with me still seems pretty novelty, you know like when you used to play with your Mums & pretend it was yours when you were little? Aside from my Moschino & Zara bucket bags I don’t & have never really owned a ‘proper’ handbag, I normally just use my trusty vintage leather rucksack or ASOS bum bag, as I feel like  abut of a fanny walking around with a bag on my arm, I much prefer carrying them on my shoulders :) Are any of you the same or do I just need to grow up a little agahahaa (24 going on 14) I remember the days when I used to go into town skating with friends & my trusty chord Jansport rucksack… anyway I’m rambling now. Basically what I’m trying to say is that this La Moda bag is perfect for me, I can fit everything in it I need & more, it is deffo my new day to day bag! (ps, it’s only £16! BARGAIN!) They also stock a tonne of other designs so be sure to check them out here>link.

I FINALLY FOUND IT! The infamous Zara skort! & it’s just a amazing in real life as it is on the web! Does this make me a ‘proper’ fashion blogger now, ya know, cos everyone & their dog has one?! ahahahaha (‘: It fits a little on the large side but it’s nothing I can’t live with. Other than that, this outfit is pretty ‘plain Jane’ but sometimes the least fussy outfits are the best, don’t you think?
