But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun...

Anyone who keeps up with the trends will be able to tell you that 2011 SS catwalks have been littered with inspiration from the 70's. As the saying goes trends 'always come back around' and I am loving the sexiness that it brings this time around. The keys piece's that are making their way onto the high street at the moment need an air of confidence to pull off. The high platform shoes, flared trousers and floppy felt hats all have a Studio 54 vibe.

Topshop - Yellow silk blouse £70, Topshop - Leather flower wrist band £10, River Island - Print wedge sandal £69.99, Topshop - Denim hotpants £26, Topshop - Camel felt hat £25, H&M - Gold stone ring £3.99, Topshop - pleated wide leg trousers £48.


These are my picks to carry off the boho luxe vibe without feeling like a total hippy! I love the floral, floaty feel that these pieces have. This is only one way to include the seventies into your wardrobe, you could also add a skinny belt or a pussy bow blouse to a pair of high waisted trousers to give you the disco glam feel! I have bought a few garments to add the vintage style to my wardrobe but unfortunately no outfit posts will be able to take place until Wednesday due to a few home improvements which are taking place! What's your favourites seventies items in store at the moment?

Let's not let our hearts get in the way...

As I mentioned in my previous post I treated myself to some new beauty products from elf. I read a few beauty blogs that mention the brand and decided to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the low prices and ordered with my mum and sister so we could take advantage of the free shipping offer (minimum spend £30). I haven't really done much this weekend so yet to try out the make-up but I decided to give myself a manicure with my new nail varnish. I go through phases with nail varnish, at the moment I don't like to wear anything bright or in your face. I prefer to stick to my nudes and pastels. One colour that I've been lusting over for a while is the Chanel Pearl Drop polish. Being a student I would no way find paying around £20 for a nail varnish reasonable! I was quite excited when I seen this Pearl colour (£1.50) on the elf website. The photo' above makes it look almost white but the one below gives a truer insight.

I wear false nails as mine are stumps no matter how hard I try to grow them!): This image shows my falsies with two layers of the varnish on them. It's a little streaky up close IRL but unnoticeable from a distance. To quickly sum up...

PRO'S - A bargain at £1.50 a bottle! Chic bottle, almost Chanel-esque? Thick enough to wear one coat if a light colour is wanted. 

CONS - Brush strokes can be faintly seen when looking close up, this may be because of the pearly appearance.

So overall this nail varnish is definitely worth the £1.50 price tag! If you're a nail varnish fanatic then there might be some colours on the site to add to your collection, if you're just a casual wear (like me) then these are perfect to slap on your nails when you get spare time!

Looks are deceiving making me believe it...

(apologise for the black and grey photo's, want to keep the items a secret for future posts!)

Since I had the second instalment of my student loan at the beginning of January I've been really good and hardly touched it, except for the necessities like petrol and parking. This all changed today. Me, my mum and sister had a bit of a family shopping trip to Cardiff and it was quiet sucessful in my eyes! I scoured the internet last night and found a few things that I really wanted but resigned to the fact that I either wouldn't be able to find them or they wouldn't be in my size, but for a change my luck was in! This resulted in me having quite the hoard when I intended on just window shopping, it's the way it always goes isn't it! I also received my elf order! This is the first time I've ordered off this site and with such good prices I hope the products live up to my expectations! I'm excited to share these new goodies with you via outfit posts and reviews (yay the blogging might start picking up again!), after I have a nice chilled out weekend of course!

We could have had it all...

Had yet another busy day today; hair cut, toiling and work! I was nearly brave and had a Fearne Cotton but I backed out last minute; I will have it done next time when my hair is a little longer, maybe. As I've been making the mock up for my dress today I haven't had time to do anything else, it seems like ages since I've done an outfit post, not good! Seems the toiling took up most of my day, I thought I'd share my progress with you.

You can see from these photographs my journey so far from pleating the bust, cutting the shape and the start of the skirt. My inspiration is crystals and rock forms. We also have to look at the insides of garments for inspiration too, hence the seams on the outside. I still have a while to go before it's finished but I'll keep you posted(:
