Lacrosse Boat Ball

Hello fashion lovers

Just thought I would write a quick post about my look for my Lacrosse Boat Ball on Saturday! The night was actually amazing, (many bottles of wine were consumed) and I absolutely loved my dress. So while the focus of this blog is normally vintage, I want to show that looking good, even for formal events, doesn't have to break the bank! Us poor students eh... 

I went for black (of course) as it's effortlessly chic and slimming to boot. Spaghetti straps are everywhere at the moment, and while this trend can be difficult for "ladies with a large bust" (ha) if you invest in a strong supportive bra there is no reason you can't rock this trend. For ladies with this problem I suggest Boux Avenue as they seem to be the ONLY decent high street brand that go above a DD.  A little bit pricey, but 100% worth it. (10% off for students too.) 
I decided to be a little bit daring and follow in the footsteps of Angelina and Rihanna (a girl can dream right?)  with a split leg dress. This really worked with my bright statement shoe, which I used to bring a summery feel to my look. 

The pictures are far from professional, but thought I'd give you guys an update anyway!

My Fabulous Finds- Part 2

Hello Strangers!

It has been absolutely ages since I posted, but I've been so busy with exams and essay writing that unfortunately my lovely blog has had to take a backseat :( Haven't been able to hit the shops really, although I did buy a lovely dress from Oh My Love for my lacrosse ball (shock horror it isn't pre-worn like the rest of my wardrobe) but I thought I would treat me self to something new! I might post pics of it another time. 

Anyway, as I haven't got any new stock to show you, I thought I'd do another post on one of "My Fabulous Finds" (I still can't get over that catchy title). You know, I don't even know how to describe this piece, but it is definitely one of my favourites. I literally wear it all the time, and it is so versatile! I'm pretty sure it's a love hate thing and most of you are going to be like "wtf is she wearing" but I don't care because it's my favourite statement shirt, I got it from a charity shop and it ISN'T BLACK. FOR ONCE. 
oh and I love my vintage Levi's denim jacket, it was such a bargain!
