quite possibly the last outing my boyfriend coat will get for a while since the sun (albeit temperamental) has arrived! I picked up this cute tee in american apparel while I was in new york, it's an oversized fit so stupidly comfortable and easy to wear tucked into skirts or shorts! since I went for such casual attire I layered on a truck load of accessories from stacking rings to chunky necklaces (I have a little bit of an accessory addiction at the minute!) topped off with my belt to give it some definition. all in all a very lazy out & about kinda outfit!  new york is for lovers tee:  american apparel heart print skirt & boyfriend coat: primark both necklaces & rings: topshop double studded cuff & casio watch:  urban outfitters leather satchel: topshop (old) sunglasses: h&m nails: nails inc 'primrose hill gardens' back soon! caroline x

I love little day trips. I went to tate modern earlier this week to see the lichtenstein retrospective; I was super excited to catch the show as he was one of my icons growing up! since pop art was the theme of the day I wanted to wear something equally pop-tastic so I opted for this gorgeous mink pink dress from  mee mee  (be warned they have some fantastic new arrivals in stock at the minute!) this little number brought out my 90's nostalgia when; remember the good old saved by the bell days aha! bright florals are one of my favourite looks (I also love a dress with a good swoosh!)  I went with the 90's vibe again with my accessories; my pineapple necklace from chelsea doll and retro mondrian watch that I picked up at american apparel. since it's still pretty nippy out there I added my new denim jacket which is one of those classic transitional pieces.. yep, I'm still a closet double denim lover. vintage style floral dress: mink pink c/o  mee mee denim jacket:...

just a super quick little post while I'm off on my jollies! I've been meaning to give this lip balm a shout out for months! I'm a constant victim of chapped lips and have a ridiculous amount of balms and potions but other then my elizabeth arden 8 hour cream (good but rather skinky to those with sensitive noses) this has been the only one that has helped lately. I grabbed mine in american apparel when I spotted it at the till. I'm not going to lie I loved the old school packaging which was the main reason I purchased it so was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the actual salve. it smells of roses, strangely pleasant and feels liquid and soothing on, it's probably the only balm I'd carry with me on a daily basis and does help to condition me ol' lips! so if you're in the market for a balm you may want to have a sniff of this one! they come in a tube but also in a retro tin if that's more your style! they're available on  eBay  and  amazon  ...
