So looking back at this look all I have in my head is 'hillbilly chic'. Whether this is a good or bad thing I'm unsure but I thought I'd post it anyway! I'm not usually one for the gold jewellery but I gave it a go with this outfit and finally got to feature my new octopus ring from H&M. I'm also rocking my Pretty Disturbia crop top with a rad blurred flower print, and I've actually had this pair of dungarees for around a year now and it honestly escapes me how I haven't featured it in an outfit post yet. I got it from Rokit vintage and although it's a little big I love it to pieces and it's so versatile, you can literally wear it with anything!

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Black Mascara Review

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara - £22 - House of Fraser

My mum has definitely turned me into a make up snob, but it's just the best when your mum returns from holiday with cosmetics because she can't resist duty free! Anyway, read on for my attempt at being a beauty blogger.
My first impression of this mascara was that the brush is very similar to that of the L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara that I owned a good while ago. I remember that working but was not really that impressed with this mascara. The brush is small so obviously it's very easy to use on your bottom and inside lashes. It separates lashes well but doesn't really add volume or length, I found the brush was too small to use on my top lashes and it would take a while to see a difference. I do, however, use the brush as a 'base' for my actual mascara and as a finishing touch in the corners etc. It is a true black which I like in a mascara and after wearing it for a day there was no flaking or smudging. For £22 I wouldn't buy this mascara again, but it's received mixed views, with a lot of people raving about it, so don't take my word for it!

SWEET KEROSENE

Skull tee* // Chicnova
Shorts // Betty Barclay via charity shop
Chelsea boots // Deena & Ozzy via Urban Outfitters
Skeleton hair clip* // Paccony
Necklaces // Both DIY
Bracelet* // Persunmall
Rings // Vintage, Rachael Sudlow, Market, Primark, Market

So today's outfit is quite thrifty for me! A lot of the time my charity shop finds might be satisfactory, but never really that amazing. I stumbled upon a pair of capri trousers in a charity shop in Farnham a little while ago and obviously the first thing that stood out was the fact they were galaxy and rose print, but the price tag was also something like £6 which is a lot for a charity shop. It crossed my mind to put them back but I decided to buy them, and subsequently made them into shorts, and I absolutely adore them! They are a little big for me so I'm considering selling them but they're so unique they'll be hard to let go of. I decided to pair it with my Skull tee from Chicnova, which looks exactly like the Lazy Oaf tee they brought out not so long ago and I never bought. Not really my most favourite of looks but simple I guess!

I absolutely love my custom tie-dyed romper from My Mum Made It. Nyree makes every item herself and they are all absolutely lovely. It fits me so well and is perfect for summer which is why I paired it with my clear glitter jelly sandals and denim biker jacket which I think fits me so nicely and will definitely be a wardrobe staple for the next couple of months as a lightweight alternative to a leather jacket.

So with Slam Dunk festival coming up on Sunday I've been religiously listening to a ton of Memphis May Fire, All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Woe is Me and a couple of other bands so I have the best time I can. If you're going and see me please say hi! (:

HAUL // To Die For Bikini

Sugar Daisy Bikini* - To Die For

So with summer coming up I really wanted to share my brand new bikini with you guys! It's from online shop To Die For and they do an incredible selection of holidaywear. I picked the Sugar Daisy set because I'm really into neon at the moment, and it always makes the palest of skintones look that little bit more sunkissed. To Die For are a Swedish brand who have a patented design, with the bikini bottoms designed to 'lift' your booty, to get a better fit, and can I tell you they are successful in their venture, the bikini looks amazing on! (although I'm afraid I'm not quite confident enough to show you guys). The online shop has a range of this bikini in different colour combinations as well as other designs and some gorgeous swimsuits if bikini's aren't your thing. Check out the shop here, which is your favourite item?

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Arm cuff* // Native Feathers
Necklace // Charity shop
Jacket* // Missguided
Tee* // Choies
Shorts // IRIDESCENT
Tights // Next
Spiked Coltranes // Jeffrey Campbell
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, market, Lumafina, market

So I made these shorts a while ago and unfortunately they're just that little bit too small for me, so I'm selling them on my online store here! I paired them with this awesome Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon tee from Choies and my dream biker jacket from Missguided. I love the greek print and cross detail on the chest, with so many other small details, my Missguided items are always of top quality. My coltranes are also making another appearance after going so long without being shown on my blog at all! A lot of the outfits I've been photographing recently have featured flats, purely because they're a little more casual, hope you guys still like the stuff I put together!
