Space Girl

Today was a good post day, my Collectif parcel finally arrived, and I couldn't wait to try my Dolores tops on!

As a previous post mentioned, I was worried if they were going to fit or not, as I ordered them in size 10.

But I didn't need to worry, this top did not disappoint! 

Although there is no stretch in it, and you have to pull it on, there's a side zip and once you zip that up, it fits like a glove!

It's just so perfect, I want it all colours and patterns, and to never own another style top again, haha!

As you can see above, I paired my red Dolores top with my Cora skirt by Voodoo Skirt, which you've heard me banging on about. (Wearing a size Small)

I will definitely be a repeat outfit offender with this outfit, I have so much love for it!

((I apologise for the poor photo, my camera is 14megapixel, but I think my energy bulb isn't helping.))

Anyway, here's a close up of Dolores, and I also added my Bow&Crossbones planet brooch which you can't really see in the outfit photo, dammit.

And if you've been thinking about getting the Dolores top, I say go for it! It's so dreamy <3

Hope you had a wonderful new year

Embroidered Flamingo

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

This little post is about one of my favourite presents I received, which was from my boyfriend. 

I had been swooning after this bag for a few months, however, I never ended up buying it. And luckily, my boyfriend remembered how much I had wanted it, because when he had asked me what I wanted, I never thought to even mention the bag. 

So when I opened it, I was surprised to say the least, but instantly fell in love with it.

It's by Banned, and retails about £34.99. It's a good size handbag, has plenty of compartments - two zip pockets, and two simple pockets (one is mobile sized). 

Apologises for lack of photo, the black lining made it impossible.

Anway, the embroidery is beautiful, and the detail even continues onto the back of the bag, as seen below.

The bag also comes with a removable shoulder strap, which clips on at each side of the bag. The strap's length can be adjusted too.

If you are going to be purchasing this, please note, the handles have small screws holding them, like a label will say, they do require tightening every so often.

I, stupidly, didn't read the label, so as I go to use the bag for first time, I was upset when the handle came out straight away, but after searching for the label, I realised the bag wasn't faulty at all, and the handle was really easy to fix.

After fixing the problem, I am now overly cautious and keep a small screwdriver in the bag.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with the bag, and I'm super grateful.

I did receive the Cora skirt from Voodoo Vixen (space girl skirt) from my boyfriend also, and had ordered myself two Banned cardigans, one that matches this bag, but I'll post about these soon!

What goodies did you get for Christmas?

Voodoo Weakness!

As we all know it's only 12 days until Christmas, and knowing I'll be getting some money this Christmas, I thought I'd do some browsing online, whilst on my lunch break at work, to see what I can spend the money on, and lo and behold, Voodoo Vixen know how to design a good skirt!
Virgie Ruth                                                                                                                                  Cora

Luella                                                                                                                                     Amelia
Aren't these skirts to die for? 
So far, I already own the amazing red skirt with the magic 8 balls on, I bought it at the end of Summer, ready to start back to college. However, I had never seen these other designs until now!
The next one on my list is definitely the black skirt with space girls all over, if I can convince the boyfriend to order it for me for Christmas that is (hehe).

Although, ideally I'd love them all, especially since the green skirt has the cutesy kitty cats all over, and the checked wool skirt would be perfect at this cold time of year.
That being said, the best thing about skirts is you can tailor them to the weather (providing it's not super windy), by adding a strappy Summer top, or a sleeved turtle neck with thick tights. Which, by the time I get round to buying them, Winter will probably be over.

What're you planning on spending your Christmas money on?
