ADORNED BOHO.



I’m absolutely gutted that I have no festivals planned this year, but I can’t help being swept up in the festival spirit. I totally love the boho style but never really knew if I was cool enough to pull it off. But screw it, I love it so much, I thought I’d give it ago. 

First of all, check out my beautiful new necklaces, how stunning are they? Not only are they beautiful to the eye but they are also recycled, handmade AND personalised (if you ask), so I have the only one – could this literally being anymore perfect!!! The elephant pendant with purple bead is 30% recycled and has been customised just for me, aren’t you all jealous? I have honestly hardly taken it off since they sent it, and I can’t see it leaving my neck for a long while yet! The purple suede elephant chocker is to die for. I think the ladies at Adorned know me better than I know myself, as I never imagined myself in a choker and now I love them.  They were sent to me by the lovely mother-daughter duo at Adorned, they create the most gorgeous up-cycled bohemian, tribal-inspired jewellery and clothing. They use recycled beads and other pieces to create their gorgeous jewellery range and all items of their clothing has once been owned, either vintage or pre-loved. You all honestly need to check them out! You can have a look at their lovely pieces by clicking below:

Also, this dress just kills me, I completely love it, and have worn it both casually when shopping and also on a recent night out with my lovely uni girls. It was a steal at only 8 tiny pounds!! It will definitely be a holiday go-to when I finally go on holiday at the end of the summer. I love the pattern and also the cut out sleeves.  My kimono is also Primark – it’s been floating around on blogs for months and surely you can see why!

Also, everyone has been blogging or instagramming (is that what you call it?) about the Birkenstock dupe from Primark, and I must admit I grabbed a pair as soon as I saw the price - £5 how could anyone say no? BUT, I treated myself to some real Arizona Birkenstocks last month, the best £30 I’ve ever spent. When I had been told them were comfortable and would last forever I always dismissed it, what shoes last forever!! And to be honest when I first put them on all I could think was that they were the most hard, uncomfortable shoes ever, how could people live in these? I persevered with them and now they have properly mould to me feet, I wear them everywhere!! Honestly pay the extra money and you’ll never look back. I sized up when I brought mine, so much for comfortable!

PATTERN CLASHING & SOME EXCITING NEWS.


 I absolutely love pattern clashing at the moment, and I thought what better way to do it then in monochrome. I love monochrome looks, they tend to be classy and chic with an added pinch of edge. 

How cute is this top?! I just had to share it with you, I’m not one for showing off my stomach as I’m much larger than I would like, but there was no way I could leave this beaut of a top off my blog. It was a steal from Zara a couple of months ago. It is so simple, but the pattern is eye catching.

I’ve paired it with my spotty palazzo trousers (also from Zara). These trousers are so comfy and versatile – I wore them out for cocktails with the girls (in this outfit) and also for my sisters baby shower garden party. They were completely perfect for both.

My bag I grabbed from a vintage fair about 3 years ago, It didtno leave my side for months after buying it. When I moved home from Uni I misplaced it for a while so you can only imagine my excitement when I found it again. These pictures don’t completely do it justice to how gorgeous it is.
