Red Velvet

Velvet Flares - Mums

Knitted Crop - Ebay

Red Shirt - Vintage 

Trainers- Adidas Superstars

Sunglasses - La Moda

Hiya all,

Finally getting back into the swing of blogging, its only taken me about a year but oh well!

How beautiful are these flares, you don't have to agree.. I know they are. We've had them for years just chilling in a bag destined for a charity shop. They used to be my mums and Ive wanted to get them taken in for ages so i could wear them but I just decided to safety-pin them and it worked pretty well. I am officially a happy velvety bunny. Much like my vintage adidas silk trouser thingies, they're basically a socially acceptable trackybum. Which is beautiful because who can be bothered to look nice 24/7. 

As you may have noticed if you follow my Instagram (elsmikaela) that red is my absolute favourite colour, its my confident colour I'd say. There is no way to fade into the background when wearing red, and I LUV-ET. I found this shirt in an old shop in Brick Lane last summer when I was interning and had been sent to brick lane to find samples. I may or may not have had a bit of a shop on the way, but lucky I did because I found this gem for only £3. And it is thuper cute. Obviously I had to tie it all together with some red lippy, this one is my favourite Mac matte in 'Russian Red' but as they are extremely drying I mix it with the Revlon 24hour balm thingy and its bless. No chapped lips for me.

Hopefully one day soon I will transition into an old lady and learn to crochet because these tops are so expensive?! I'm aware its a pretty long process but some of them are like £40.. For about 20cm of top. Ridiculous. Anyway this one was only about £16 which I was happy with. Shout out to eBay, you beautiful place. 

I apologise for screw facing in every picture, its a failed attempt at smizing. I sadly am a victim of 'resting bitch face' and there is no cure.

THANKS FOR READING AS ALWAYS

You lot make me extremely happy!

Luv n hugs

Grey Day Dressing

Grey Dress - H&m

Blue top - Mums

Cap - Gant

Trainers - Reebok

Hoops - Bastille Markets

Hiya all, it's been AGES since I last did a post, but I have luckily returned.

Apologies about the bunched top, the 'skirt' is actually a dress that I tried (and failed) to make into a skirt, which just ended up looking like I have 3 rows of boobs, but you can't have everything. Felt like going with a sassy chic look for this post, I'm really indulging in day dresses at the moment and I can't wait for maxi dress season. As we're stuck in the middle of spring and summer dressing is a little confusing as it looks way hotter than it actually is but I've found layering light layers is the best way around it. I don't feel quite ready for a huge amount of colour yet, after months of no sun I am almost sheer coloured. I just about managed to get my shins out and even that was a giant push. You can't actually see my feet very well in any of these images, but my trainers are green suede and of course red lips were a must so I wasn't completely grey.

Quick sidenote, my friend Sam just brought out his EP. Pretty similar vibes to Ben Howard or SBTRKT, so absolutely perfect for this weather!

I've linked my favourite song from it below so give him a follow, share and have a listen!

Thanks as always for reading beautiful people!

Subscribe, share and and leave me a comment if you wish, it would make me v v v happy if that persuades you.

Lots of sunshiney love

90's Baby

Leotard - Ebay - Similar

Dungaree's - River Island - Here 

Superstars - Adidas Originals - Here

Jacket - The North Face - Similar

After being jokingly asked if I would do a blog post on this outfit last week at Uni, I decided to snap a few pics and do one. Unfortunately as I was rushing they came out a little noisy so I'm sorry about that and I cut out my face because I looked ugly, lol. I was feeling pretty down to my childhood in this, re-styling the kind of outfits I wore when I was a young'un. There's something so appealing about 90's generation's clothes, baggy and cute at the same time. Also who doesn't enjoy a dotty onesie?! This is pretty much my go-to when I have to leave my house, but can't be bothered to faff about. Especially now all the classics and originals are on trend with trainers, it's so easy to achieve and not too expensive. The coat is slightly pricey, but before my Dad handed it down to me he's used it for the last 10 years I think, so a worthwhile investment. I think half my wardrobe is other people's clothes.. But I am really okay with that.

I've made quite a dangerous habit of finding amaaaaaazing bargins on pretty much brand new trainers on Ebay, my haven. When I first started reading blogs, what I noticed was how great student bloggers were at finding deals and it helped me loads. So I'll try to include good ones that I see within future posts for you lot. A great Ebay tip if you're looking for big brands, is to use Goofbid. You can purposely search for misspelt words and such-like, because sometimes people that are really dim will misspell something and noone else will bid on it, so you get it really cheap. It is simply FAB.

Anyway this was just a short post for you all
