Kilt

Kilt – vintage / Top – H&M (old) / Leather jacket – Asos (old) / Cut out boots – Choies
Being a tartan lover, as soon as a saw this kilt, I knew I had to have it. There are lots of kilts in the shops at the moment so I am glad that the one I own will not be exactly the same as everyone else’s! It looks like a genuine Scottish one as it is a proper wrap around kilt! I love the contrast between the smooth front panel and the pleated back as well as the fringe down the side at the front. I also really like the length of it, any shorter and it would look like a slutty school girl skirt!
It looks great with this bodycon top or, alternatively, a crop top. Finish the look off with a denim or leather jacket – personally I think wearing all black with red tartan is a winner because it means the print stands out.

P.S. Sorry that the photos are quite dark – lighting is going to be a problem with winter around the corner and not getting back from work until 5:30pm!

That Do Impress Me Much

Trousers – vintage / Top – H&M / Creepers – eBay
This is what I wore on Thursday night to the pub for a night of lots of wine and KARAOKE. I know right, you are jealous. I sang Shania Twain – Don’t Impress Me Much on my own, which is the first time I haven’t sung in a group! 
I love these gold striped sparkly trousers, which I bought from a vintage market on Brick Lane when I was in London last weekend for LFW. A bargain for just £16 I like how high waisted they are so look great with crop tops or a baggy black tee like I’m wearing here. They are super comfy as well.
What do you think of my new trousers? And what would you sing at the local karaoke – I would love to know!

A Weekend In Lisbon

Dress – vintage / Shoes – Converse / Sunglasses – Rayban / Lipstick – Mac
I have just got back from a long weekend city break to Lisbon! It is a lovely place – very hilly, full of tiles and cobbled streets and of course it was HOT. I sometimes struggle to deal with heat over 30 degrees (which it was) but the outfit above was perfect for keeping relatively cool. These outfit photos were taken inside the Cloisters of the Jeronimos Monastery, which was so beautiful I could not resist having some snaps done! 
-Travel Guide-
On our first morning, to get our bearings, we went on a free walking tour with a local guide and it was amazing! It was over 3 hours long and he introduced us to some of the backstreets that the normal tourist would not come across. The way he mixed the history of Lisbon with his own experiences in the different areas is best for learning about a new place. He even introduced us to a lady who makes this traditional Lisbon cherry liquor called Ginjinha. It was pretty strong for midday and I could not drink more than a little cup but I would recommend trying it! 
A trip out to Belém is definitely worth the 20 minutes tram ride. This is where the Monastery and Cloisters are, as well as this lovely tower in the sea. We were eventually able to appreciate its views after mastering a moronic and amusing electronic system of controlling people up and down the thin spiral staircase. Oh, and you HAVE to try the Pastéis de Belém for the best custard tart you have ever tasted.

Pretty Print Dress

Dress – Motel / Creepers – eBay / Frill socks – eBay / Necklace – vintage
This gorgeous dress is from Motel, who have some great prints at the moment, which will be perfect for brightening up the darker British evenings to come! As soon as I saw this print on Motel’s website I knew I had to have it. It was difficult choosing between buying the dress, kimono or playsuit but I went for the dress in the end. I love the oriental style of the print and being a smock dress, it is so comfortable! I’m loving the frilly sock with creepers look at the moment and I think this goes perfectly with the dress. What do you think?
