Hippie✌

 

 
Dress: Topshop
Shoes: Primark
Flower garland: Primark
 
I'm a massive Hippie at heart and love a free spirit. I would give anything to go to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in America or go back to the 1960s& 1970s. So when I saw this dress in my friends wardrobe I just needed to have an occasion to wear it, I love the dainty floral design and the Ombre colouring.  I also like how versatile it is as you can wear it dressy or casual. I recently wore it with a high wasted belt and my golf brogues to a casual dinner.   
 
Excuse the lack of photos for this outfit, Once looking at them on computer I didn't have many good quality ones. This is the outfit I wore for the other Christening in which I also took photos for. Sarah is one of my best friends and she has two gorgeous girls called Amelie and Jasmine with her fiancé Craig. It was Jasmine's turn to get christened and what a lovely day it was.
 
I love a special occasion so I'm always happy to snap away and catch some memorable moments. It also always helps when the people around me are so special also.
 
Here are a few of my favourite photos from the day
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hippie: 
''One who embraces life to the fullest. Promotes peace, love and happiness, but sure as hell sticks up for what they believe in. Anyone can be a hippie, not just that dirty dread-locked tie-dyed pothead with the dead shirt on. HIPPIES ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE''

Do the Dungarees

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Skull Top: Old
Dungaree's: Primark
High Top trainers: River Island (old)
Leather Jacket: Primark (old)
Silver Hoops: Primark
Rings on left hand: New Look
Ring on right hand: Pandora
Pandora Rope Bracelet
Tiffany & Co Bracelet
Skull Bangle: eBay
 
If any of you have had time to read my articles over at Inspire Magazine you will know how much of a fan I'm of the Dungaree's. I love all the different style's and was very much a Dungaree's lover before the new trend started up again.
 
I unfortunately got rid of an old pair of mine many years back because they got ruined so I was very happy when came across this classic pair in Primark when shopping on my birthday. As you know Primark if always reasonable priced so I didn't have to over stretch for these like you may in some high street stores at the moment.
The skull top I am wearing is very old, so I dug it out as thought the subtle skulls worked well with the acid wash denim and then I could sneak in some skulls elsewhere without it being to much.
 
I customised my old high tops with some skull studs I got on eBay. I first saw these when reading one of my favourite blogs *HOLA-BAMBi*. Izzie did a great blinged up beanie post (SEE HERE) and I immediately ordered some of these studs. You should definitely check out her blog if you haven't come across it yet, Izzie has great style, great ideas and great hauls.
I have yet to use the studs on anything else yet, but will keep you posted.
 
So who else has dug out there dungaree's yet?!
 
Love Lucy

Mum & Daughter Fun





 
 
 
 
Zebra Print Cropped Blouse: H! by Henry Holland
Wet Look Midi Skirt: Impressions
Red Heels: New Look (old)
Rings: New Look & H&M
 
I had the best bank holiday weekend, I went out the Friday, Had a Lunch date with my best babe Jenna Saturday day and then two of my other bestie's Jodie and Carly kept me company whilst babysitting Saturday night. I had a fun family and friend chilled Sunday and I finally dragged my Mum out on the Sunday night.
 
This was my outfit from the Sunday night, It was so much fun. I got very drunk (as did Mum, sssh) and we rolled home at 3am after getting food off course. In my mums words 'When we getting kebab Luce?' bearing in mind we don't even eat kebab, but we did have a lovely chat with a fellow vegetarian whilst in the chicken shop discussing how gross the meat looked. I'm sure you can imagine the type of funny conversation going on. 
 
I'm so in love with my Zebra Print Blouse that I was so happy to have found this skirt to team it with. Covers my lumps and bumps perfectly, but does not hinder the ever so expanding bottom of mine,
 but hey if you cant squeeze you cant please!
 
Hope you all enjoyed your bank holiday, I cannot wait for the next one.
 
 
 
 
Love you Mum
 
Love Lucy

Sundays

 
 

 
Crochet Panel Tea Dress: Apricot
Lace Shrug: H&M (old)
Mustard Flats: Florence & Fred Tesco
 
I'm so happy the sun is finally out and I'm much happier when you don't have to wear a coat or jacket over everything, however I always like to have my arms covered (massive arm issues) so I don't favour it being to hot just warm enough that you still need something little and light on your arms to keep that coverage. I literally would love to be arm happy so I could feel free to wear sleeveless stuff without worrying. I'm working on it and hopefully my late twenties will be the time when I'm leg and arm fearless and will wear above knee summer dresses with no tights and arm free outfits, goodness slightly panicked even thinking about it.
 
One of my favourite parts of when I went travelling was feeling free with my legs and arms, wearing denim shorts and summer tops all day everyday. A tan makes every outfit look and feel better and makes you feel slimmer so I can see why people live abroad and stay happy all year round.
 
I wore this little number to a lovely Christening a couple of weeks back. I really love the lace detail on the dress and I especially love the pockets as an added extra, the crochet trim gives it a feminine girly touch. I was lucky enough to also be asked to photograph the occasion and I have finally finished editing them I got some lovely shots. This was my second christening in April which again I photographed and will be sharing with you soon. 
 
Stay Happy and Stay Sunny

Birthday Suit

 

 

 
 


 
Parisian Black Tattoo Print Bodycon Dress: New Look
200 Denier Tights: H&M
Silver Boot Shoes: Primark
 
As you know I turned 27 on the 22nd of April and I had lots of different celebrations (why not). This was my outfit of choice for my girly night out the weekend before my actual birthday. Now you can see I'm a curvy girl (more curves than would like at mo) so I wanted something that made me feel sexy for my birthday and also something that would stand out. I was very happy with my pick from New Look, as you can see it is very daring with the mesh side panels, but with my tights high wasted I think it added a subtle sexy look, rather than to obvious 'What are you wearing look'. I loved the Tattoo Print design consisting of cartoon characters and Alice in Wonderland graphics which was basically the deciding buy for me as I'm a massive Alice in Wonderland geek.
 I teamed it with my favoured silver ankle boot shoes fast becoming my primarney favs.
 
I had an awesome night filled with shots, drinks, cocktails and lots of skanking out, Yes! my idea of a good girly shin-dig. Oh Yes I used the word shin-dig because I'm officially closer to 30! Puke!
 
I cannot stop listening to Maklemore and Ryan Lewis' Album 'The Heist' been obsessional over them for months now and I'm not the slightest bit bored of the album yet. If you have Spotify check it out now, Big Must!
 
Love Lucy

Granny Skirt & A Denim Shirt

 
 
 
 
Finally the sun is shining. This outfit is all second hand including my awesome Blondie t-shirt which I picked up in a local charity shop many years ago for about £3!!!! Bargain! Again I'm wearing my slouchy denim shirt which is so easy to pair with everything and perfect for this weather. My purple floral granny skirt was donated to me from a friend which she bought for a fancy dress Granny night, Off course I would be the one to ask for it when finished.
 
I'm now officially 27, so its goodbye 26. I still feel 21 and I have gained so much life experience since then and I'm so happy with knowing myself the way I do now. I'm also so happy I have got serious about blogging because fashion and photography have been a massive passion for me from a young age and after a few set backs over the years I feel I have finally got my Mojo back. I'm also in the process of devising a business plan for my Dad for something exciting we can do together, it will be small to start but 100% from the heart. So watch this space.
 
I got some great birthday gifts and some awesome clothes from Westfields Stratford on Monday.
 
Love
Lucy
