jumper: h&m bambi print skirt: c/o brat and suzie belt: american apparel ashleigh boots: topshop chunky gold necklace: topshop suzan backback: c/o la moda I love somethings about winter.. open fires, hot drinks, snuggling under my duvet.  attempting to take outfit pictures in rain, darkness or gale force winds urmm not quite so much aha! however today I woke up to sunny skies and beautiful weather..  yippee! mild weather means I'm snatching the last chance for bare legs.. my skirt is from east london duo brat and suzie who have the most adorable range of animal motif clothing (any combination of pencil skirt with bambi print is a winner in my book) they're bringing some exclusive pieces to ASOS soon so keep your eyes peeled! the pink fluffy number is an old h&m purchase that I love to pull out on in-between days as it's soft and cosy without feeling too bulky... I've worn my topshop backpack into the ground this summer so I was long overdue due an upgrade; th...

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:

cocoon check print dress : c/o front row shop pork pie hat: topshop double cuff: topshop pyramid ring: urban outfitters gold double chain ring: laura gravestock vintage cocktail ring : c/o rock 'n' rose perspex bag: klear klutch obsessed. yep that pretty much sums up my feeling towards my new dress. it's quite unlike anything else I own and is my favourite a/w piece so far. it also has the addition of pockets (always dear to my heart) and I love how understated it feels. the dress is from front row shop who have quite the selection of quirky clothing, I'm already building up quite a hefty wishlist! I'm really loving unusual cuts and details and their clothing has a wonderful scandinavian feel to it, big fan.  I've been rummaging through my accessories and one thing I will be investing in this month is a few more vintage style rings, I really don't have enough choice in my current stash so if you have any jewellery shop recommendations please let me know! to...

velvet world dress : c/o mee mee fedora: topshop backpack: topshop studded boots: old eeeeeep I finally have some velvet in my wardrobe! every season tartan and velvet seem to be a staple in autumn/winter trends and I massively regretted not investing in a velvet dress last season! this little number is from the new arrivals at meemee and it was velvet & sheer winner at first sight.. it had a hint of gothic fairytale but still looked wearable. I'm not a huge fan of big sheer panels but subtle ones get the thumbs up for me; I'll mostly wear this dress layered up with jumpers, tights and chunky boots so it'll be quite versatile this winter (no doubt It'll pop up on here again soon!)  I'm already looking forward to layering up again (and probably eating my way into hibernation) is that wrong? anyone else excited to whip out the knits? caroline x shop the look:

hat: h&m floral kimono : c/o choies vintage belt: urban outfitters shorts: h&m cuff: topshop shoes: topshop oh lord I'm completely unprepared for the cold! I've been busy squeezing in the last of my summer outfits, you might have seen that I've been away in marbella on holiday (the perfect opportunity to drag out my summer wardrobe) but I'm still looking forward to the transition to knits and cosy coats! I haven't been all that tempted by the kimono trend this year but I finally found the one that made me change my mind.. hurrah! I loved the colour and pattern of this one from choies and I'm glad I opted for something different as I loved it on arrival, it's so damn pretty and swishy (yep definitely a word) it's made me a fully fledged kimono convert!  well I'm off to unpack my suitcase, bye bye bikinis hello 100 denier tights. back soon! caroline x come & say hi! bloglovin | twitter | facebook | instagram | pinterest   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...

hat: h&m dress: c/o warehouse necklace: h&m straw bag: thrifted belt: vintage (gift) silver chunky ring: kukee in case you missed the news I've got the keys to my new house and the renovations have began... EEEEEP!!!!!! I'm half excited/half terrified at the amount of work that the boy and I have to do over the next month so if I'm a little absent on social networks and on here then it'll be because I'm wrestling a power drill... the joys! on the plus side I'm really looking forward to doing some DIY's and crafty house-esq projects once we're in so hopefully I'll have lots of little posts to come over the next few months! this is a little outfit I put together when I raiding the wardrobe, you may recognise the dress from an older post (when I first got it the weather was pretttttty darn chilly so I layered it up with high collar shirts) now it's warm enough to wear alone I took advantage as it's a really comfortable little number. I...

dress: vintage (gift) belt: urban outfitters superga x rita ora high top trainers: c/o allsole hat: h&m similar here bag: topshop badges: vintage and thrifted ice cream necklace: chelsea doll I do like to have a bit of fun with my outfits... I've always had a slight obsession with collecting old badges and brooches so I decided to use a few of them to decorate one of my vintages dresses (the dress is so 80's I figured I should go with it) I think I might have been on a haribo induced sugar high when I put this outfit together. I thought it would the perfect casual outfit to wear with my new trainers from  allsole . these silver beauties are from the new rita ora collaboration with superga , she's the face of their latest campaign and these metallic high tops are just too cool for school! I can't resist anything shiny and I think they'll be perfect with some skinny jeans as autumn approaches... (they also did a collaboration with house of holland and have some tr...

white racer front bodycon dress: c/o little mistress fedora: topshop necklace: primark bag: vintage sandals: new look yikes I feel quite grown up in this outfit! it's not often I stray away from my casual threads but I love a good bodycon dress, this one is from little mistress who have oodles of niceness on offer.  racer front and clean lines = classic staple for my wardrobe (the words classic and staple will usually sway me towards most items, I suspect it's old age kicking in) they also have some adorable separates like this cut out chiffon panel top *swoon* one to add to the bookmark bar!  the dress itself is amazing quality, fully lined (no pesky peek a boo underwear) it's one of those little numbers that makes you feel super feminine and a little minxy (well until I ruin the illusion by spilling a drink on myself..)  my other love is my new primark necklace and silver chunky bands from kukee, I'm fast becoming a silver convert and can't stop browsing jewelle...
