So I went to get my locks chopped the other day which is always a sad time when you feel those months of convincing yourself your hair has grown is pretty much cut short the moment the scissors hit the do. I need to keep in mind that cutting hair will make it grow. (At least I hope so) 

To make myself feel better I went for a rummage round the hundreds of charity shops which surround town. Now I am an official home owner I jump at the chance to find some crazy vintage tea set hidden away in the corner, however as all you regular readers of my blog will know I am a massive massive fan of thrifted clothes. I stumbled over this utter Gem hidden in with the not so fashionable old lady coats. I was slightly unsure at first but after my mum basically harassing me to buy it as it was such a bargain I caved.

It cost me £9.99 and is made of wool and cashmere... I say not more. Though the best way to style this would be the simpler the better, so I thought a basic Primark top and my ripped Topshop Jeans. I finished the look with these all time favourite Public desire shoes. I think they add some extra excitement to the outfit.  Slight shoe heaven

What do you all think? What do you think about the way I styled this thrifty coat?

All I see is sunshine in the summer.

Im writing this in my back garden with a brew in hand and my feet up! How amazing is this weather we are having at the moment? I feel the constant need to embrace it fully. I also enjoy the rummaging through the summer closet and being able to finally get my pale bare legs out to the world and wear some of my favourite forgotten treasures.

Dress + Necklace - H&M

Shoes - River Island 

Bag - Asda (Similar here!)

Hand Chain - Primark (Similar here!)

Hat - Pretty Little Thing (Get your own!)

I brought this dress from work the other day and adore it! Although it is mega baggy its the coolest thing I own for these roasting summer days. I love the Boho chicness of it, and I can see myself wearing this to a festival with a beautiful Indian style headchain. I brought these shoes in River Islands last season sale and totally forgot I had them until a huge clothing sort out the other day! It's like love all over again, they are amazingly comfy and personally think they look amazing. I'v always wanted a pale green rucksac, and I found the perfect one is Asda of all places! It was mainly brought for holiday use but I think it looks amazing paired with girly dress and bare legs. 

I have festivals coming up soon which I am so excited about, so I will be posting my personal festival fashion seeing as it's one of the best times of the year no?

So this weekend is my birthday, as an early gift my mum booked for us to go watch a ballet. I used to dance so going to these kind of things are my favourite. I wore these printed trousers which are obviously from H&M, and I have seen them blogged on so many fashion bloggers sites. Although how can you not they are amazing and fit down to a T.  I find myself wearing all H&M clothes now days but then when you get staff discount it's hard not too. 

Top and Trouser : H&M

Shoes: Ebay (Get your own)

LipStick: Rimmel Apocalypse

Bag: River Island 

These shoes are unbelievable. I brought them off eBay a while ago before the cleated shoe trend went globally crazy. They were on a half price offer so I paid round about £24 for them! I was more enthralled when I received the leather ones instead of the faux ones which were double the price! I have searched eBay for these ones but can't find them anywhere so I have linked some similar ones which I'm thinking of also getting (addicted) I however have been sucked into the craze of cleated shoes and was shocked at the price some where going for. As a little tip get yourselves on eBay now as many sellers have got some going for £20!!    

The weather is looking pretty spectacular right now as I'm writing this! Hope you all enjoy it this weekend, and as always feel free to leave comments and follow if you enjoy my fashion outfit attempts! Also i have Instagram which I post outfits and all sorts @claireash1
