Bonjour my lovelies

So if you follow me on Instagram then you will know that this week my outfit posts are mainly all about the gladiator lace ups, and as promised I decided to do a three ways to wear these utterly beautiful sandals. My second outfit is one of my favourite looks, effortlessly simple and fits in lovely with the festival season. Saying that playsuits + portable toilets = disaster! Never mind though we'll all worry about that when the time comes. 

If I wear any colour it's mostly warm autumn colours, even though we are well in truly in the middle of the summer, i always think burgundy and browns always compliment my palish skin tone and some how I most gravitate towards. So as soon as I spotted this cute playsuit I couldn't resist trying it on. I may have said this before but I usually can never find any playsuits to ever fit my no bum figure, however this one fits me perfectly! And yes no wedges! 

Hope you enjoyed look number 2 and I'll see you soon for my last and final look! Hope you all have a wonderful week.

1. bohemian roses



Hello lovelies! 

Yes I've followed the crowd and just recently purchased the most daring and beautiful lace up gladiator sandals from Public Desire, But why? Well A) they look AMMMAZING on! I've came to the conclusion that they give an illusion of skinnier and taller legs! B) I'm not a massive fan of sandals unless I'm on holiday, however these lace up sandals I could wear almost every day as they are so easy to style with and go with anything from smock dresses to mini skirts or shorts and C) they are so freaking comfy! Like seriously I have finally found something I can wear the full day without my feet being in complete agony. 


My other addiction right now is h&m, in almost every occasion I've walked into the store promising myself not to tempt into buying, I've failed every trip miserably! However, on the positive I have filled my summer wardrobe with gorgeous clothes! This skirt being one of them. I couldn't resist swooping up as you'll know I'm a lover off all things floral and it managed to fit right in rather nicely with my lace up combo. Obviously managing to add a little primark number in here. Now I don't know if I should call this a shawl or a scarf, as it's got a slit right down the side. But it's perfect for throwing on when it gets chilly.

Jewellery staples

 
 

Penny gold necklace - Primark, beaded chain necklace - Primark, Midi rings - Primark, Topshop, Ebay, Traditional Heart, Silver elephant bracelet - Traditional Heart, Anklet - Primark, Penny Chain necklace - Ebay, Chandelier earrings - Accessorise, Marc Jacobs watch - Marc Jacobs, Map watch - Tullulah's Threads
 
Anyone who knows me, will know how much I LOVE jewellery, especially statement pieces! To me, adding my jewellery is the most crucial part to any of my daily outfits. It can turn my plain dress into a standout piece or add a little quirkiness to jeans and shirt combination.

When it comes to choosing a necklace I prefer to stick with something a little heavier or chunkier. Right now, my two favourite necklaces are both from my two favourite places: eBay and Primark. Both boho ethnic inspired pieces which I'm totally loving this season and my go-to jewellery pieces when I'm rushing out the door. They compliment all my black and white combos and summer closet. Would you believe I paid less than £4 for each of these? 


You can't go wrong with a pair of statement chandelier earrings when your hair is pinned up either. These ones I picked up from Accessorise are perfect to wear with evening dresses. They are so classy and look a lot more expensive than £5.00. Next up is my beloved Marc Jacobs watch, which was given to me by my boyfriend for my 21st. I get endless amounts of compliments when I wear this watch. As its one of my more expensive treasures I do tend to keep this more for special occasions or dinner dates as I can be quite clumsy. For during the day I love wearing my map watch from traditional heart. I'm a little wanderlust so from the moment I saw this, I knew it had to get it. 


Bracelets are not something I tend to wear a lot however, if ever do it's this beautiful elephant tribal inspired one I purchased from Traditional Heart. Lastly, my rings I absolutely 'love love love'! Piling on as many rings as possible especially those cute dainty midi ones. All of these are a mixture of Ebay, Primark, Topshop and Traditional heart.
