STYLE BIBLES of the month

So I thought I would share with you my Style Bibles of the month. This is the first post I've done like this and I wanted to put so many more blogs in but I decided this one would be an International special as all the girls are from either America or Australia. Hope you enjoy :) x



I found these two Australian sisters via ASOS Fashion Finder and instantly fell in love with their fashion sense as it is everything I could dream for in a wardrobe! They post outfits daily whilst travelling around the world and there is not a single outfit that I don't love. These two definately give the Olsens a run for their money!




I literally only found Taylor yesterday or the day before on Lookbook. I am a sucker for lace flares which is what initially drew me in but when I started browsing through Taylor's other looks I knew I had found a style icon. 





I think I may have also found Dominique on Lookbook and fell in love with her edgy outfits! I would love to raid her wardrobe, there is not one outfit on her blog that isn't perfection!

Holiday Outfits: Day Seven



Dress- DIY, Sandals- Topshop, Glasses- Brighton Laines, Spike Cuff- Shop Dixi, Hand Bracelet- Topshop

So here we have the last of my holiday outfit posts series and my hagrid hair is in full steam! 

First of all my mum wanted to make sure I tell everyone that she was extremely touched by your lovely comments about the kimono she made in yesterday's post. She's having a bit of a confidence crisis at the mo and this gave her a huge boost so thank you :)

After seeing a tie dye dress on tumblr which was AMAZING I thought I would try to attempt making one myself. Rather than hand dying it the original way I thought I would get more precision using spray dyes. I bought a neon pack of 4 off amazon and was expecting that to last me loads of dresses (which I was then going to sell) however they ran out right towards the end and were a pain in the arse to use as they kept leaking everywhere but overall I was pretty pleased with the outcome but decided not to make any more to sell as it was so time consuming!

I'm quite sad this holiday series has come to an end as I was getting into the swing of posting every day and also it means I have to let go of my holiday a little more :( lol. I'm going back to uni soon so probably won't be able to post as frequently. I am thinking about starting a 'style bible of the month' post which is similar to the blogger of the month posts that I've seen on lots of blogs which I really enjoy, would you be interested in this? I don't know whether to do just one blog I currently love or more?

Sorry that I've chatted on quite a lot today haha!

Holiday Outfits: Day Six



Kimono- Made by my mum, Top- Vintage, Shorts & Sandals- H&M, Cuffs- Miss Selfridge

This kimono was once upon a time a HUGE skirt which my mum picked up from the carboot but I loved the material so much and decided it would be much better as a kimono. This was my mum's first attempt at making one and I love it!

I'm never been so upset post holiday as I have with this one, I literally wish I was back there sooo much!

Last holiday outfit post tomorrow!

Holiday Outfits: Day Five




Crochet Dress- Carboot & DIY, Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell, Necklace- H&M, Sunglasses- Brighton Laines

The more observant follower may have noticed that I have skipped 'Holiday Outfits: Day Four'. After lots of umming and ahhing I decided not to put it up because the photos were awful lol and plus it was the night me and perry called 'shit outfit night'. I won't skip any more outfits, the next two are my favourites!

I bought this crochet dress from a carboot for £1 and wore it as its original colour but wanted it to look different for holiday so I dip dyed it green and blue. This is my studded tardys first debut to bellsfashion <3 I love them soo much and they are amazingly comfortable! 

More tomorrow!

Holiday Outfits: Day Three




Dress & Bag- Vintage, Shoes- Topshop, Arm Cuff- Miss Selfridge, Spike Cuff- Shop Dixi

This is the only bag that I took and I used it in the day & night so you will be seeing it a lot!
This dress is another of my mum's amazing carboot finds which I saved for ages especially for holiday. I love the fringed tassles! This is the last of my maxi outfits as I saved all them for the beginning of the holiday to give my legs a chance to get a bit of sun before baring them. I feel like I haven't really told you much about the holiday but to be honest there isn't much to tell apart from it was an amazing all inclusive holiday in a Riu hotel and we over indulged in everything. We had about 6 meals a day and I had about 10 pina coladas every day haha! 

In other news I am moving to Brighton in a week :O I have mixed emotions at the moment as I'm excited but sad at the same time to leave everyone. But I shall be back at weekends to work so it won't be too bad. Has anyone else moved away for uni but come back home on the weekends?

More tomorrow!

Holiday Outfits: Day Two

Top & Skirt- Charity Shop, Arm Cuff- H&M, Shoes- Topshop, Headchain- DIY

Ughhh I'm really sorry about the rubbish quality of this photo! this was the second night and I didn't get ready for dinner til late not realising it was getting dark outside and was determined not to use the flash but ended up with this fuzzy thing. 

I bought this tie dye top and skirt as part of a 3 piece from charity shop and decided to tuck the top in to make it look like a maxi dress. It reminds me a little of something you would find in Urban Outfitters?

More tomorrow (better quality photos I promise) :)

Holiday Outfits: Day One

Jumpsuit & Bag- Vintage, Wedges- Topshop, Ring Bracelet- Topshop

I'm back from an amazing week in the Algarve with my boyfriend and as promised I have lots of outfit photos. I managed to get Perry to take photos of my outfit every night but some of them aren't very good quality because I didn't end up getting ready until later when it was a bit dark and the lighting's not very good so I apologise in advance for that. 

As I've mentioned a few times before this summer has been really tight with money as I'm moving to Brighton in just over a week so most of my holiday outfits are either from a carboot or charity shop! I usually find myself spending too much on new dresses for holiday but I actually preferred wearing second hand clothes this time because I didn't have to worry about seeing anyone else wearing the same thing!

I'm looking forward to catching up on everyone's blogs! :)

More tomorrow!
