LET'S TALK FASHION | IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO WEAR WHITE AS A WEDDING GUEST

I feel like I already have my wedding planned, the ceremony will be held outside on a sunny afternoon in July. The guests will sit on white chairs facing a floral arch with blossom flowers going along the aisle. My bridesmaids will be in lilac, silk, floor length dresses with their hair in cute up-do's. I 'll walk down the aisle to Kissing You by Desiree, my hair will be in a sleek pony tail with simple make up wearing a beautiful white strapless mermaid dress, a sweetheart neckline with a long trail. I want dove's too but is that a bit too much?!





 Unfortunately I'm only 19 (I also need to find someone that will actually marry me) and I'm pretty sure it'll be quite a while before I walk down the aisle but in the meantime I love looking at sites like Lover.ly for inspiration on dresses and weddings. I love going to weddings and dressing up for them but should it be a ''rule'' that only the bride can wear white? If you were invited to a wedding and found a beautiful white dress would you wear it?

When I think of weddings I think of pastel colours and the colour white so when putting together an outfit for a wedding I feel like I need to incorporate white somehow; whether its a pair of white heels, a white bag or a white dress. Personally if I found a white, lace midi dress with spaghetti straps I would wear it, I would also probably wear it with a pair of white heels and a pastel clutch bag, I really don't think it would take any attention away from the bride. Don't you think a guest wearing a neon pink dress would really take attention away from the bride?! 

However, if the shoe was on the other foot and I was the bride and a guest turned up to my wedding in a white dress... yes there might be a problem! I wouldn't throw a tantrum or say anything but a wedding day is meant to be one of the best days of a girls life, and if we're honest weddings are mostly about the bride (sorry grooms). So when it comes to being a guest at a wedding I would say just stick with white accessories. You could perhaps wear white heels, a white bag with a blue skater dress and leave the white dress to the beautiful bride. 

What do you think about wedding guests wearing white to a wedding? Let me know what you think.

Definitely check out Lover.ly's website they have amazing dresses and some really beautiful pictures, great for inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed it

D.I.Y | MY NEW HIGH WAISTED SHORTS

This Friday I'm going to a beach party with a couple of friends and I need an outfit!
I had a vision of me wearing baggy shorts and a bikini top, I was even considering actually ordering a pair. 

But what do I do? I take a pair of tracksuit bottoms and make them into shorts. I've had these tracksuit bottoms and their matching jacket since I was about 12. About 3 years I accidentally got red paint on them and I haven't worn them since. It's a mens tracksuit and extremely big on me so they come up high waisted. I didn't do anything technical or hard, I only used a pair of scissors and an iron to make sure the bottom stays folded.

I really love them and I know I'll definitely be wearing them a lot over summer, some of these pictures were taken on my iPhone so sorry about the quality.

Before throwing your trousers or tracksuit bottoms out why not try make them into shorts.

FASHION | MY SHOE COLLECTION (VIDEO)

Hey my loves, I hope you've had a great weekend! Unfortunately I cant say I have, I've not been very well :( although I did find out that I have a job interview at the end of this week!! (jumps up and down on her bed) I'm excited but also really scared I've had auditions before but never a proper job interview so wish me luck.
A bit more news, I've started a YouTube channel! I actually had so much fun filming it and editing it, if you don't know already I take Broadcast Journalism so I literally felt like I was in my university newsroom when editing this haha!

As you can see from the title I show you my shoe collection, I didn't show all of my shoes otherwise we would be here for hours. I'd really appreciate it if you watched it and subscribed!
Here are some of the links and check out the video to see them on:

OOTD | WHITE & CREAM

I literally cannot explain my obsession with my new look sandals, on Sunday I went to a New Look store to purchase the black ones but they didn't have them in my size (cries). They are so so so comfortable I just know that I'll be wearing them all summer.
I've actually had this dress since I was about 9 years old, crazy right! And for my hair and face... I am extremely tired, have no make up on and tied my hair up with no mirror.

p.s that isn't what you think it is on the floor :)

LOOK INTO MY WARDROBE...

Hey my lovelies, I hope you've had a great weekend. You may have noticed (or not) that I didn't blog anything on the weekend, I've decided I'm only going to blog every weekday and I promise to stick to it. I was also hoping to get lots of outfit of the days for you this summer but if you read my last outfit of the day you would know the dilemma I'm in. Nevertheless the show must go on!

Something a little different today I want to let you into my wardrobe... well one of them! I love seeing how people organise their clothes so I thought I would share my wardrobe with you guys...


The wardrobe is from IKEA and was only £79!! On the right I keep my trousers, shorts, jeans and lounging wear (I'm still working on my folding skills!) and then at the bottom I keep the shoes I wear most frequently. I keep the rest of my shoes in another wardrobe (I have 3!), there's not much thought put into what I hang up on the left. The pink boxes are from argos; I keep bed sheets, pillow cases and clothes I'm selling on Depop in there. 

On top of my wardrobe I have my baby brothers old cot which I keep all my bags in... and my prom dress. On the right of the cot I have the box I keep my camera in and my memory box. If I'm honest I don't have a clue what are in the boxes on the left but they're pretty ehe and on top of them is a cute little cow and a cute little pig that my friend Henrietta gave to me for my 18th birthday!

Let me know what you thought of this..
