Best clothing find I've ever had.

Image
I got this coat for only £3. Yeah I know it's a bargain. One I couldn't believe the price tag. It was once from Topshop. A brand I know well and is a great high street shop. Seeing this coat a uk size 6 that's rare to find, I snapped it up. (US size 2, yeah I'm tiny) Now you're wondering where I found such a bargain. At a car boot sale. It seems to be super smart and cozy. I decided to wear it one Christmas period outing to London. The fact it's black adds to the smartness but the front buttons equally appear chic too. The fact it came from a car boot sale doesn't put me off at all. It's second hand but, you can tell the quality is great. Knowing the shop it came from helps guarantee you have a good purchase. Please don't get put off going to a car boot sale. It's a lot of searching and walking around different stalls.  However, amongst the tat there really are some gems to be found. The actual coat Usually most of the clothin...

Short dungarees craze

Image
This trend of short dungarees is an 80's comeback. You couldn't watch tv back then without seeing people wearing this hardwearing clothing piece.  The short dungarees are great spring/summer clothing.  The super casual trend can be worked layered up with ease. Whatever your style is, be it vintage, sporty or grunge, you're bound to be able to add dungarees in your wardrobe. In the 80's there was the long dungarees shortly followed by the more popular today 90's short dungarees. This piece of clothing also goes by Overalls in America.  The photos above show how people today wear dungarees. Can you see how versatile they are? Above are some 80's style of the dungarees. Sure in the 80's most people wore the long version. They became shorter in the 90s. The longer style has a super casual vibe. The first time dungarees became a 'fashion' item, rather than workmens clothing was in the late 60s early 70s. In 2006, the Oxford English D...

Sturdy Moroccan Sandals

Image
My Handmade Moroccan Sandals Morocco (located in Northern Africa) is the melting pot of culture and ethnicity. With so many cultures and traditions coming together, it's amazing to see how people there still use traditional trades when crafting their products. Being the breadbasket of the surrounding countries in Europe and Asia, it's neat to see everything from vintage to modern being crafted. Then sold to people all over the world. The sandals at the left are sturdy, handmade, naturally tanned leather footwear that can be worn for most any occasion. I received these wonderful sandals from my brother-in-law and for three years, the condition is impeccable and the wearing doesn't run out as fast as they fade. I ask for these all the time because I adore wearing these in the summer time. And let me tell you, they last! They are really strong and can withhold for any amount of given time, mine lasting for three summers at the most. My Outfit Idea Layout Wi...

What It's Like Having Short Hair

Image
Before Haircut Out of most everything I've done in my life, deciding to cut my hair has been pretty much the best thing for me. Not only has it boosted my confidence, but it has really shown me that being feminine and being yourself doesn't just stick to one agenda. I've had plenty of people criticize me over my short cut before the shears even crossed over and snapped a few strands. The choice to cut my hair was all in my favour and to benefit myself, and it totally did beyond my expectations. The simple basis of this whole ordeal is that you have to make the decision yourself to be yourself. What more is there to note? Nothing. That's right! Nothing is left to note because there is no one to control you but yourself and your actions. After Haircut Before I get into more, let me stop myself and discuss the hair. A Pixie Cut as most refer to it as, is the ideal feminine haircut, because it showcases slender and true beauty. Most wouldn't agree....
