It's that time again where I've been busy creating and sorting through stuff to sell for Southsea Flea Market which is this Saturday. Here's a photo of a flower tower full of flower headbands ready to be sold at the market! These will be sold on my mum's stall alongside vintage levi dipped and frayed shorts, camouflage jackets, studded dip dye crop tops, a range of tie dye galore and a huge range of amazing vintage clothes. I'm not actually going to be there this time because I'M GOING TO PORTUGAL TOMORROW! eeeee! I've never felt so unorganised for a holiday but I'm so excited to have a nice relaxing week in the sun with my boyfriend. I don't intend to go on the internet so will not be blogging/tweeting/instagramming for the week but I can promise lots of holiday outfit posts for when I come back :)

Southsea Fashion Week Day Two

Dumpster Couture

Sorry about the blurriness of some of these photos, my camera doesn't seem to like taking photos in darker places. These are some images from the Haute Couture & Avant- Garde collection and I think we can all agree they're crazy good! I thought they were all amazing but my favourite collection has to be Megan Forsdick's. 

I'm slacking and can't remember all of the designers names and which ones was their collection but I will find out if anyone wants me to :)

So as some of you know I worked at the first ever Southsea Fashion Week yesterday and it was so amazing! I met some really lovely people and the designers were all extremely talented. I narrowed down the best photos to give you guys an idea of what went on. I didn't take any photos of the final catwalk as I was an usher and didn't have my camera with me but if you go over to Leopard in Leather you can see some of the photos she took from front row :) I'm not working there today as I work at Topman on the weekends but me and my mum will be attending tonight's show which is Haute Couture and Avant Garde so I will hopefully take some more photos and upload them tomorrow.

Hat-H&M, Kimono- C/O Miss Pap, Top- Vintage, Jumpsuit (worn as trousers)- Old H&M

Umm wutttt?! yes you did see right, my first EVER 'C/O' i'm pretty shocked myself haha! I was extremely chuffed and flattered when Miss Pap contacted me asking me to choose something, and true to my kimono-loving self I picked out this little gem which you can purchase here for the bargain price of £19.99. It's a lovely soft silky-feel material that flows beautifully! I hadn't actually heard of the brand before they emailed me but I love discovering new brands and their website is full of on trend products for really affordable prices!

 I brought out my inner hippy and teamed it with an old wide-legged jumpsuit (worn as trousers) and a broderie anglaise cropped top.

Dress & Top- Vintage, Hat- H&M, Sunglasses- Brighton Laines

I bought a similar hat to this from H&M before but it looked really small compared to my hagrid hair and after seeing this hat on several lovely bloggers I managed to hunt one down in my local store!

I haven't really been up to anything exciting lately other than making lots and lots of flower headbands for customers and preparing for my holiday to Portugal next week eeee! :)

Top and Kimono- Vintage, Jeans- Topshop

Just a quick and simple outfit post from what I wore to work on Saturday. I love how kimonos can make a plain t-shirt and jeans look more interesting!

This Friday I am going to be working at the first ever Southsea Fashion Week and if you get a chance you should come to one (or all) of the days. The designer line-up looks incredible, if you go on to the website you can click on the designers and see images of their amazing designs! 

Hope you are all well :)

Top & Skirt- Carboot, Sunglasses & Necklace- H&M, Shoes- JuJu @ Topshop

This skirt is one of my mums another carboot finds that she actually got for free when buying something else! 

Haven't really got anything exciting to report, except for the fact that it's mine and my boyfriends anniversary on sunday- 6 years! And Perry is 'surprising' me with a pair of jeffrey campbells but I ended up finding out by accident and oh my god wait til you see them- they are right beauts! Although I'm not actually allowed to open them until sunday :(

Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather today

I don't even know what to call it/kimonoey thing?!- Charity Shop, Shorts & Necklace- H&M

Despite the weather being relatively sunny today I look very autumnal! I picked up this kimonoey thing from my favourite charity shop and fell in love with all the different prints and it has slits on each side so it flows really nicely. The boots above are my pair of Topshop Allegras which I was starting to get bored of so I did a little DIY and cut out some of the elastic to create a cut out look. The elastic started to fray so I used a bit of clear nail varnish but not sure how long that's gonna last. I also started to stud the elastic bits but one went wrong and I made the hole to big so I stopped before it got any worse!

I completely forgot to mention on recent posts that Bell's Fashion turned 1 the other day! awww happy birthday bloggymcbloggerson <3. I originally started this blog as part of a uni summer project leading up to my first year at Northbrook College but ended up really enjoying it and carried it on! So I would just like to say thank you to all my lovely followers for your continuous support :D muchos love xx

*just realised I look asleep woopsy- 1 year on and still as awkard as ever being photographed!

More DIYs

Once again I have been DIYing to my hearts content to fund my near future Brighton life! After seeing a lot of turtle/polo neck crop tops gain popularity in the blog world I thought it would be a good idea to customise some. The first one I done I actually tie dyed but I wasn't too pleased with the outcome so I dip dyed a few instead and prefer these results! I know how we all love a good stud or two so thought the studded neck would give them an edge. I've tried to make them as cheaply as possible to keep the selling price down and I am going to be selling these for £15. I have only really been selling my stuff to girls in my area but am thinking about putting some on ebay so if any of you guys are interested you can buy on there? I may also put some of my flower headbands on there which I sell for £5. I would love to hear what you think of these creations and also I have only used gold studs so far but am curious to know if people would also like silver?
