Here's my Band of Gypsies kimono again. Perfect for throwing over a vest to nip out in the sun. I don't like going out with too much arm on show!! These photos were taken in my gran's garden, it has loads of secret parts to it, I love it. How does she get her grass so green?!

As you can see I'm wearing my new Wavy Jewellery items I won through their giveaway. I won 2 bracelets and an above knuckle ring and I love them, you should definitely check out their shop if you haven't already, I'll definitely be buying some things in future and the prices are so good too!

I've been thinking of changing the name of my blog. I came up with the name Studs and Lace when I was more into well, studs and lace haha. My blog doesn't feature alot of that anymore, I want more of a simple name. Any suggestions anyone?!

Right I'm off to tan my legs some more after seeing these pics!!

Belt - River Island

Isn't Band of Gypsies an awesome name for a clothing line?! I got this kimono in the ASOS sale for £15. Loving the print and it was perfect for today's weather. Today was one of the those days where I couldn't find a top to wear so I ended up in a boring old vest, I hate those days. I also couldn't find a necklace I wanted to wear either. Not my day today obviously, so this outfit is pretty boring apart from the kimono. I did see an ex from about 7 years ago (jesus, where did that time go?!) on my travels and was pleased it was on a day I had made an effort and I wasn't on a quick Tesco run with no make up on, can you imagine the horror?! I couldn't go into town without picking up some sale bargains, got a few things that I shall be saving for Autumn which you'll see on my blog then! xoxo

Disco

I'm back! It's been a long time since I last posted an outfit, infact it was way back when we had the one week of summer back at the end of May. Who is getting really annoyed with this rain now? I have bought so many clothes that are just hanging there waiting to be worn. My mum and dad have just flown off to Menorca for a week and I'm wishing I had gone with them, instead I'm sat at home babysitting my doggy! I'm hoping to get away somewhere (I'm hoping for Ibiza) with my boyfriend sometime this 'summer' though. Anyway, it's as always chucking it down so I've opted for indoor photos today, which I'm not a fan of but what can you do?!

As you can see I'm wearing DISCO PANTS! However these aren't American Apparel Disco Pants. I just couldn't bring myself to spend £70 on a pair of trousers, albeit, lovely, amazing, shiny, trousers but still...£70?! Nah, not for me. So anyway, I was very surprised and happy when I found out that Glamorous UK had their own version which by the way, are pretty much the same and a whole £40 cheaper. Yes please! So if you fancy some amazing disco pants but can't afford £70 then get yourself over to Glamorous UK, they also do a pewter version. If they had these in blue or purple, I'd have some of those too! (They are currently sold out, not surprising, I'm sure they'll be back in stock soon!)

This jumper is my 2nd fave item after my disco pants at the moment. I got it for £7 in the Tesco sale and it is just amazing, the quality is really good and it's such a nice colour. I wish they'd had my size in the turquoise one too.

Hey everyone, sorry I've been away for a while, the weather is rubbish at the moment so I haven't been able to get out and take any photos, don't wanna get my new camera wet!! It's so disappointing that I've bought loads of pretty new clothes for the summer and haven't been able to wear any of them yet! Typical English weather for you. I'll be back soon though!

Check out my new bargain jumper I got in the Tesco sale for £7!

I have wanted a dip hem dress or skirt for ages but every one I've tried on has looked ridiculous on me. I actually walked past this dress as I didn't know if I liked the print but my mum said I should try it so I did and loved it! Think I'll be wearing this quite a bit in the summer!

Hope you all had a great jubilee weekend!

I took these photos last week when it was lovely weather, now it's raining and dull again! I got this top for a bargain £4.99 in H&M the other day, can you believe the price?! I've been wearing these shorts a lot recently (until the sun went in) and I looove them, they have little pearls stuck to them!

Incase you haven't noticed I have my ombre hair back, did it last week and I'm so glad it's back!

Right this is just a quick one today, off out with the boyfriend now!

Hope you're all having a nice jubilee weekend.

I've had this top for years and never worn it. No idea why as I love it now and it makes me want to go on holiday. I have discovered that my legs aren't as bad as I thought after years of wearing jeans all summer, I have now tanned them up slightly and have had them on display to the world for the past week. This is new to me and I'm rather enjoying embracing my naked legs haha.

Meet my new favourite necklace I got the other day. I found it on sale in Topshop reduced from £25 to £10. It was bought with a few other things attached to it but it looked a little over the top so as soon as I got it home I took it apart and got a necklace and bracelet out of it so it was quite a bargain really. Expect this to be around my neck all summer!

As you can see I'm also sporting my new Little Teacup head chain. I've had my eye on it for a while and I finally ordered it on Thursday and it arrived on Saturday, how good is that?! They have some lovely jewellery so make sure you check them out.

It's been lovely weather this past week here in England and as you know I'm not a fan of summer too much but I've had a few days off work and enjoyed sitting in the garden, eating fruit and ice cream and sitting outside the pub at night with my man! I hope you're all enjoying the weather too! xoxox

Kimono - Reverse

Shoes - eBay
Hat - Dorothy Perkins
Tights - Lindex

I have been longing for this top for ages so when I found it in the sale for £17.50 I had to snap it up. Looks like a got the last one as it's now sold out.

Meet my new boots! They are faux Lita's from eBay and cost me £30, what a bargain. I'm glad I got them as they are alot easier to walk in than I expected and make me alot taller, great for nights out where I always get asked for ID at the age of 25!

I got this kimono in a sale too and it's amazing. I just wish the weather would warm up so I can wear it more often. I'm totally in love with it, I love anything with tassels! I'm glad that my hat goes with it too as it's quite an autumn/winter colour so I'm glad theres a burnt orange colour in the kimono meaning I can wear my beloved hat in summer too!

It's not often that I'm wearing everything new in one outfit. Although my tights are now 7 years old! 7 YEARS OLD!!! I bought them in 2005 in Helsinki and they have lasted me this long which I think is a complete miracle. Now if they were from Topshop they would have laddered by the first wear so I must get some more next time I'm in Helsinki. I adore the pattern on them.

Right I have ranted on for long enough! Check out my last post as I'm selling a pair of Levi shorts you may like!
