Blue Knit

You may have noticed may incredibly boring post names during your time reading my blog. I'll often be non-stop writing during the creation of a post but as soon as I get to the title, I have a complete blank. Do you get that? Anyway, I've stuck to generic describing the outfit titles so as not to make a complete fool of myself! Not much has happened recently (I've been bored to death stuck at home) but my biggest news is that I've finally gone and joined instagram (a bit too late I feel). I'm a complete amateur but I have been getting into the swing of it recently so if you'd like to follow me, click here. I'm looking for people to follow as well so feel free to leave your usernames below and I will check them out. 

I had these photos spare from my shop so I decided I'd use them as an outfit post today. I do really really like this jumper. It's the perfect granny-style item I've been lusting after for ages. Don't you just love this colour? (It makes me think of toothpaste!). If I don't end up selling this jumper, I'll have absolutely no problem keeping it in my wardrobe! The velvet skirt can also be seen in this post. The truth is, I haven't worn it much since I first made it (probably because I see it more as a summer item than one to be worn in the cold) but that doesn't mean that I don't love it! You must be so so bored of seeing these shoes by now but they just go with everything and my shoe collection is still very limited - more reasons to buy some new heels!

How has your week been? What do you think of my outfit?

 jumper - vintage (buy it in my shop)

10% off vintage clothing

I'm trying to make some money and thought I'd have a go at selling some vintage clothes online. I have a feeling I won't actually sell anything (...there's my pessimistic side coming out) but I have nothing to lose so why not!?. I have a special promo code (fgblogjune) for all of my readers which you can use on all items to get 10% off. I will hopefully be posting up more items shortly if all goes well.

Rediscovery

I had a lovely day on a visit to London today. Me and a couple of friends went over to Covent Garden in the morning. I bought a velvet vintage dress which I'll show you all at some point. I've wanted something velvet for ages so I'm so glad I bought it! We then went over to the Valentino exhibition which is currently on at Somerset House. The exhibition includes 137 of Valentino's most incredible evening dresses. We were all amazed by the incredible quality and design of all of the dresses (literally every single one!) and I'd definitely recommend going to visit the exhibition if you get the chance. On to my outfit. This is a variation of what I wore today. The jumper was from a family member and is perfect for wearing tucked into a high waisted skirt. The fur gillet, I actually rediscovered yesterday. I'd completely forgotten I had it (I bought it a couple of years ago) but it's actually really great to add to an outfit and is really great for the winter (It's just a shame winter is nearly over!).

4 outfits for spring...

So I've been browsing shops online to come up with these 4 outfits for you just in time for spring (can't believe how fast time flies!).

After seeing so many other bloggers wearing clothes from Choies.com I decided to have a look at it and found I was in heaven! The clothes on there are all (literally all of them) amazing and not badly priced either hence why I included so many in this post. If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend taking a look. 

What do you think of these outfits?

Walking in a winter wonderland...

Hello! I hope those of you who have it, are enjoying the snow at the moment and the days off school/work (I've been using the time productively - not). As many other bloggers have done, I decided the snow was the perfect background for my latest outfit shoot. I do love the way the snow looks - it's so pretty! Anyway, I 'm wearing my plain white shirt (everyone needs one of these) that was one of my Dad's, my spike necklace again (it's now my favourite as it makes every outfit better), a skirt I got on eBay (originally from Miss Selfridge, I think I bought it for around £5). I made the cropped jumper myself. I saw the fabric in the shop and couldn't resist it - I just love the print so much! My shoes are a new purchase from ebay (£25). I'm still not sure about them (I think everyone goes through that stage where they're unsure whether they actually like what they bought). I think it's the pointed toes - I'm not used to wearing this shape but I guess I'll get used to them over time!
