"see it's not what you look like, when you're doin' what you do. Express yourself"




dress: vintage
denim jacket: H&M
bag: Zara
earrings: Primark
nails: Rimmel 'Misty jade' and NYC 'Pinstripe white'
lipstick: Revlon lip butter 'Strawberry Shortcake'
shoes: London Rebel
above knuckle ring: Dixi
ring: eBay
perfume: The Body Shop Japanese rose blossom

I bought this dress a couple of weeks ago when I was at Victorious Vintage, it fits perfectly and I love it! As I mentioned in my 'Neon Spike' post I'm trying hard to wear more dresses this summer so if you know any good shops which sell dresses let me know!
I'm wearing my new Zara bag which arrived in the post this morning, I bought it for sixth form because it will fit my books in but I thought I would just use it today anyway! I love the rose gold hardwear on it, now all I need is a rose gold Michael Kors watch to go with it (hint hint daddy ☺)
My nails don't really match but they're polka dots, and hey who doesn't love a bit of polka dots in their life?
Sorry if my hair looks greasy, it's not but it was actually raining when I was taking these photos (I'm a dedicated blogger ☺) so my hair got a bit wet!

I'm going to the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend tomorrow which I am SUPER excited about (hopefully it doesn't rain!) I'm most looking forward to seeing the Vaccines, Maccabees, Kasabian and Ed Sheeran- I'm going to take loads of photos so look out for a post about it in the next few days!

Oh and hello to all of me new followers, I'm so close to 200 and I am doing a giveaway when I reach it! (It's a bit different to the normal ones aswell!)
Remember to vote in my poll in the sidebar to have your say on which posts I do more of!

I want to find some new dresses, where is your favourite place to buy them? Let me know in a comment below!


Thankyou for reading, have a lovely day ♥

    Lovely outfit! I really want a Michael Kors rose gold watch too, though I doubt I'll get one in the near future. Congratulations on the followers- its always lovely to reach landmarks- I'm almost at 100. Also, I am considering buying a Revlon Lip Butter- I would be interested to hear your thoughts on yours :)

    Oooh I love your new bag, it's gorgeous :D
    I really need to get myself a denim shirt, I always chuck cardigans on over my dresses but I love the way you've made it a bit different!

    That dress is lovely! And I love your new bag too! For basic dresses I always go the H&M and Zara however Forever21 has some lovely dresses in their collection too, I just buy it where I find it! Haha.. I hope you have a great time at the Radio 1 Hackney weekend! xx Fee
