hat: primark vintage levis jacket* brag vintage eagle sweater: urban outfitters leigh jeans: topshop backpack: topshop boots: office reykjavik is charming... and pretty chilly. every morning I'd layer up like the michelin man and head out to explore. it's quite a small place; the streets are full of little shops brimming with vintage clothes and hidden gems. it's so relaxed you find yourself wandering from street to street with no agenda other than to peek into doorways and hunt out the next quaint coffee shop to stock up on cake and caffeine. I found myself going for comfort every day.. skinny jeans, jumpers and hats (winter dressing at its easiest) I only opted to bring hand luggage so I was forced to plan what I was going to wear in advance (this meant I didn't spend every morning pulling out clothes debating wardrobe options much to the delight of the boy!) we spent our first day wandering around the city soaking up the atmosphere of the icelandic way of life: we st...

dungarees/overalls: primark bretton stripe tee: h&m bag: la moda watch: river island chains: h&m ring: urban outfitters the suitcase is unpacked and I'm an icelandic tourist no longer *sobs* since I'm returning to the task of finishing the house renovations it only seems right to don the painter and decorator attire of denim overalls (no builders bum though I have to draw the line somewhere...) these were a steal from primark and perfect longing attire! once I've caught up I'll pop up some pictures of my time away as I hugely recommend reykjavik as a city break- it's quaint, quirky and I've left a little piece of my heart there!  back soon caroline x shop the look:

hat: h&m vintage levi's denim jacket* brag vintage necklace: urban outfitters dress: topshop belt: forever 21 bag: vintage watch: river island psssst don't tell anyone but I've reached the stage where I'm secretly excited to be wearing jumpers again! I seem spend the majority of each year praying for sunshine but when the chill starts to set in I get all excited about knits, layering up and dark nights with hot drinks. I'm still slightly clinging to summer though; there's no chance the 100 denier tights are making an appearance ...just yet. I'm wearing a topshop jersey dress that I picked up in the sale but it's been a little nippy so my jackets are making a reappearance! cue my excited face as I've been hunting for slightly oversized vintage denim and this one is just pretty darn perfect! (what really swung it for me was the old patches on the back and sleeves which I'm a little obsessed with) the jacket is from brag vintage who have becom...

yep, still harbouring a crush on dungaree style dresses. they're just so darn easy to wear; I only have to decide what tee to wear underneath and I have an instant outfit.. simples. even better in the summer when this looser style will be perfect for beer garden lounging (ahhh beer gardens how I've missed you!)  I'm hoping this is going to be the last time you see me wearing 1000 denier tights, I've made a decision to burn them all in one huge lycra fulled bonfire at the first opportunity. denim pini dress:  topshop stripe crop top: vintage hat: h&m leather satchel: topshop (old) necklace: topshop watch:  american apparel boots: office before I head off to tuck into a roast chicken dinner (with proper gravy.. exciting shizz) I stumbled across some snaps from the flea market we visited in new york; I thought I'd pop them in as it's got me all of a flutter at the prospect of car booting in the summer, huzzah!  anyone else out there a car boot fan? I've fou...

I love backpacks, fill them up with and off you go (my ultimate bag grab when I'm in a hurry) today I'm wearing my new la moda  rucksack, I'm such a child I love the owl print aha! it was kindly sent to me to wear in their backpack challenge (I'm keeping my fingers crossed as the winner gets £50 to spend on their site which just happens to be full of bags I'm coveting!!) this is definitely one of my low maintenance casual outfits, the shirt was a thrift find and I picked up the all saints vest in the sale a while back.  I spent yesterday rummaging in dark and dusty second hand shops.. It been ages since I've been vintage hunting and I found the most adorable little red suitcase. no doubt I'll make it's way onto here soon- I wont be able to resist sharing it's retro cuteness with you guys! ola backpack: c/o  la moda denim shirt: vintage skull vest:  all saints wet look leggings: primark watch:  river island wedge trainers: new look  (similar here) nai...
