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
