  • Eyespy Dungarees

    Eyespy Dungarees

    I’ve always been a big fan of monochrome and at the moment I’ve been wearing a lot of monochrome looks, teamed with my favorite colour, pink. I think it looks so classic yet girly. Because I adore monochrome looks I also love dog tooth prints and so when the lovely Faye Elizabeth’s Boutique offered to send me one of their items, I was automatically drawn to these cute Jovonna dungarees. I was thrilled when my dungarees arrived to find that they fit perfectly and I was able to adjust the dungaree straps so that they fit to my height (I have a lanky body).

    It was a rather mild day, so I decided to wear a plain black vest underneath my dungarees. I teamed it with what I like to call my ‘Mrs Kennedy’ jacket, named so because I think it looks like something that Jackie Kennedy would have worn and I just love how 60’s it looks.

    If you haven’t already, then check out Faye Elizabeth’s Boutique where you can find pieces form lots of other cool British designers and brands. If you do go onto the site, you’ll probably see my face bobbing about as I actually modelled for Faye’s Boutique earlier in the year.

  • First Purchases Of September

    First Purchases Of September

    On Tuesday I headed to Nottingham to shoot for Speedo. My call time wasn’t until 12:30 and as I’d arrived in the city early, I couldn’t resist popping in Zara whilst I had time to kill and check out the new items they had in for A/W 13.

    As I make clutch bags, it is a rarity that I actually do buy bags but when I do they are often from Zara. When this cobalt blue handbag caught my eye, I knew I had to have it. The bag is great value and good quality and I LOVE the colour.

    Zara had some gorgeous shoes and boots in store for A/W (I shall be paying another visit soon). I love these monochrome flats I picked up. It’s not often I buy flats but these are certainly very me.

    My third Zara purchase was this pyjama style blazer/jacket. It was on sale so I managed to grab a bargain with this one. I think it will look great worn both dressy and casual and will definitely come in handy on some chillier nights out.

    The O.P.I nail lacquer obviously isn’t from Zara but it was a start of September purchase nevertheless. For me, I always find it important to own a nude nail polish. It’s good for when I’m modelling and I want my nails to look nice but not painted in a colour that stands out. My previous nude O.P.I shade DULCE DE LECHE, had just ran out so I decided to replace it with a new shade. I purchased O.P.I shade, DON’T PRETZEL MY BUTTONS as a replacement and I like this one even better.
