DENIM JACKET:TOPSHOP
CROP TOP:MISSY EMPIRE
TENNIS SKIRT:ROMWE
SHOES:EBAY
PURPLE HOLOGRAPHIC BAG:*8 CUBES OF SUGAR
FISHNET TIGHTS:*WE LOVE COLORS

A quick outfit of what I wore today when I popped to the shops, this is pretty much another version of my help-I-only-have-15-minutes-to-get-ready-so-I-may-as-well-throw-my-uniform-on-outfit. I also always end up doing my makeup in the car, the only problem in this being I chose a different bag to the one I did previously and left my mascara behind, noo!! I need like 10 of everything so it doesn't matter if I leave something behind as I'll probably have a spare. Although if I did that, I'd probably end up putting them all in the same bag and having exactly the same problem as I did today haha, is anyone else like this? Hope its not just me!!

YELLOW TARTAN DRESS: *POPRAGEOUS
JACKET:*URBAN OUTFITTERS
SOCKS: EBAY
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD TARTAN PURSE:*VERY EXCLUSIVE
CROP TOP:BOOHOO
LACE UP SANDALS: *PUBLIC DESIRE

An outfit which contains no pink? Much shock!! I actually really love the colour yellow even though its not something I wear too often. I find it clashes weirdly with the pinky-purple tones of my hair and especially when paired with red, it just doesn't go, but sometimes I make an exception. A few months ago I got my first Vivienne Westwood purse from Very Exclusive eeee!!! I was so excited for it to arrive and when it finally did I immediately put all of my purse related things into it and popped it in my bag and completely forgot to feature it in an outfit. Well I didn't exactly forget, every time I got it out to pay for something I was like "darn I really need to photograph this purse" but I didn't want to let it stray from the safety of my bag into a garment bag. Anyway, its now up on my blog, and its so pretty! I decided to plan my entire outfit around the purse and go a bit over the top with the tartan, because that is very quintessentially Vivienne in my opinion. I paired the purse with my tartan dress and socks, and also even the inside of my Harrington jacket is tartan and it just so happened that it matched my dress, how convenient!

DRESS:MOTEL ROCKS
SOCKS: HAPPY SOCKS
I have wanted this dress for a very long time, I love the whole zip-up tshirt-collar thing its got going on as it makes it feel less dress-like. Also I thought it would be the perfect excuse to wear my Pride socks from Happy Socks which I love but don't wear too often as its quite rare that I wear anything non-pink/purple/blue!

SEPTEMBER WISHLIST

Such a wondrous summer we have had, I joke, personally I think this summer was kind of awful apart from a few days of sun here and there. That is why I am very much looking forward to the colder weather and with that, the super cute fluffy coats and cardigans and other such bulky warm items that go along with it! This wishlist contains all of my autumn wishes, not that it really is autumn until September the 23rd but as the weather doesn't exactly look promising I suggest we all start on the autumn bandwagon immediately!

SOCK SHOP UK CHRISTMAS SOCK COMPETITION

SOCK SHOP UK

A few weeks ago I went down to London to design some Christmas socks with Sock Shop UK! Five bloggers designed socks and the winner gets to donate £2000 to charity so please vote for me :3 I decided to base my design around my two dogs Prudence and Snowie, as they kinda look adorable in Christmas hats, as you can see the one at the top is Prudence and the one underneath is Snowie, then again now I realise that none of you know which is Pru and which is Snow aha but oh well! They're both ex-breeding bitches that originally came from a puppy farm, which isn't as cute as it sounds. Dogs on puppy farms are forced to have litters until they can no longer produce adequate puppies, which can be illegal depending on the amount of litters and can be detrimental to their health. Once the farmers no longer have any need for a breeding dog/ bitch they are generally disposed of. Thankfully, Prudence and Snowie were rescued by Many Tears animal rescue and we've had them for the past 10 years, they are my favourite little dogs ever and I prefer them to most humans (haha)!! I hope that they Many Tears can continue to do the amazing work for many many years to come!

The winning sock design will be put into production and will be available to buy in December and the winner will get £2000 to donate to a charity of their choice! So please VOTE FOR ME :)

Me and Jo found an old vintage ice-cream van so of course we had to take photos infront of it!! Unfortunately it didn’t actually sell ice-cream (much sad) I have a feeling it was just there for decoration, or perhaps it was fate telling us to take photos infront of it haha!

SOCKS:TOPSHOP
SHOES:EBAY or similar @ EBAY

Shoutout to my Nans iPhone photography skills haha! I am loving this look and it is of course because two of my favourite brands Lazy Oaf and The Ragged Priest have joined forces and decided to create what is known as the Kitten Mom Jeans for their new LAZYXRAGGED collection! Theres only three designs but they're all equally cute, I decided to pair mine with one of my favourite jumper which is also from Lazy Oaf although I'm not too sure if its in stock anymore as its part of their old collection :( I did find a very similar one on Oasap. You guys may have noticed I've been wearing these shoes obsessively over the past few months, and yesterday I noticed they're falling apart and I'm very sad about it!! But I guess you can't expect much for £11 shoes on ebay, at least they looked cute while it lasted which was a good three or four months of solid wear! I might start looking for some new ones!

Also the Christmas sock competition will be ending soon, please vote for me! If I win I can donate £2000 to my chosen charity and my sock will be put into production in time for Christmas!

You know when you find one of your fav band tees online and its one that you don't have yet and you just have to add it to the collection? Well yeah that happened and now I have a band tee for all of my favourite bands and I'm most proud. Now my next aim is to get a band tshirt for every album and tour for all of my favourite bands... I think I'm going to need another wardrobe. Does anyone else have a band tee collection and if so what do you have??

Hi guys!! How are you? Yesterday I went for a very fancy meal at the Chinese/ Indian/ and everything else buffet, which wasn't particularly fancy at all. Despite this they are my one of my favourite food outing destinations due to the amount of food one can put on the many plates which are picked up during ones visit but I also enjoy the extreme variety of food which one can sample. To put it very simply I ate three plates of noodles, two of rice and curry, one plate of samosas and vegetable spring rolls and fish pakoras. I am most satisfied. Oh and I was wearing this outfit.

The light yesterday was really beautiful! Myself and Jo decided to go out and take some photos which was super fun! We were planning to go again today however the sun isn't out, sad! Have you guys noticed that its become rather colder over the past few days? I'm getting really excited for winter- can't wait to get my hands on some big fluffy coats! I really love this Motel jacket, its such a fab shape, perfect for autumn as its not too warm nor too cold, perfect for wearing over a tshirt or light jumper. I know I wore it in my last look but I think I'm going to get quite a lot of wear out of this one! Also I'm loving this cord skirt from glamorous, I've wanted a really nice button up skirt for ages but they are always way too long on me, but this one is perfect! Also can't forget to mention my strawberry themed clothing items that I received the other day from Ugly 6! I am so loving the strawberry socks and strawberry top combo, and its such a cool shape, ugh, I love!

SHORTS: TOPSHOP
BAG: *JUMP FROM PAPER
SUNGLASSES:*MIU MIU @ SUNGLASS HUTSOCKS: *WELOVECOLORS
SANDALS:*SPY LOVE BUY

I wasn't too sure on this dress to start with as I'm really not a fan of items of clothing that end lower than my upper thigh, I think it makes my legs look longer, its all an illusion aha. Luckily its see through so you can add lots of interesting things underneath which peep through including this In The Style bralet which I also have in white, and also comes in various other colours! You can use code KAYLA10 for 10% off! I also received this Jump From Paper bag just before LFW, I was meant to wear it one of the days however I ended up being unable to attend :( Fortunately I got to photograph it with this outfit which I think it goes amazingly well, the contrast is so fab, I love how cool it is and how much it stands out. I'm also really enjoying the combo of the bag/ sock/ sandal combo!!!

PATENT PINK SANDALS: CHARITY SHOP similar @ ASOS

I'm really loving this mermaid-y unicorn look, not exactly weather appropriate now its October but hey ho, when you have a unicorn tears bag you must go with the unicorn flow. Perhaps this is more of a going out look that one would wear a giant coat over when venturing into the outdoors. I pretty much love all the items of this outfit, the unicorn tears bag of which I now have two- one in pink and one in silver. The quilted skirt which I get compliments on every time I wear from Aliex Express, I also really love the diamond fishnet tights from We Love Colors as they go with pretty much any pastel outfit. The bikini top is also a massive fave as its so cute and I love that I can wear it as a top as well as a bikini top!

SO...? ETERNAL

OUTFIT INSPIRED BY SO...? Eternal (*AD)

Last week I was approached by So...? to create a look inspired by my favourite of their perfumes 'So...? Eternal'. I was really excited as I've been using So...? since I was at school, which was a while ago haha! I remember everyone used to carry them around in their PE kits and repeatedly use them throughout the day, basically the entire school smelt like a body mist cloud. This is making me feel very nostalgic haha!

The So...? Eternal fragrance first drew me to it because of the packaging, its super pink which means its super me and I do really like the smell. It reminds me of... ok so I'm not too great at describing fragrances, but to me it really smells like fruity vanilla, kinda like drinking a vanilla latte on a nice day out at the garden centre, minus the coffee. Does that make sense? I do hope so! After investigating the So...? website, I discovered that my nose was correct in its fragrance assessment, the base notes are Vanilla, Sandalwood and Amber along with mid tones of Orchid, Peony and Violet and high tones of Clementine and Lemon! I'm really enjoying this fragrance and I've been wearing it a lot since it arrived!

For the inspired outfit, I really wanted to wear something that reflected the packaging as its super cool and pink. I decided to go for this very sparkly shiny crop top and platform shoes which to me gives off the same effect as the diamond on the box and then the denim skirt and fluffy pink faux fur clutch bag picks up all the floral elements of the perfume itself!! I also threw in a very shiny headband as it reminds me of when I was at school!

The SO...? range consists of body sprays (£1.99) and a variety of different Eau De Toilettes such as the So..? Eternal, they are priced from only £5.99, (I do believe they're all available at Superdrug!)I think they're perfect for just throwing in your handbag/ car/ PE kit/ locker/ school bag/ anywhere else you so desire. In fact I would probably keep multiple different fragrances in various places so I'm never without!!

COMPETITION

So...? are giving their followers the chance to be the face of So...? All you have to do is snap a photo of yourself wearing or with your So...? fragrance and add the hashtag #MyAttitude to be entered into the weekly draw! The sassiest entry will be chosen each week and awarded a place on WWW.SOWITHATTITUDE.COM plus a So...? goodie bag worth up to £50! (see www.sowithattitude.com for T&C's and further info)

HALLOWEEN WISHLIST/ COSTUME PLANNING

Its that time of year again! The time of year where I wear a lot of black, Halloween!!! Are you guys really excited for all the Halloween parties? I know I am, not that I've been invited to any yet haha, and not that, that stops me from looking for many a potential Halloween outfit. A few days ago I was browsing the Dolls Kill website and spotted all their super groovy costumes. I thought to myself, ahhh, now I have to make a huge wishlist. Do I wear an actual costume or do I just dress up from head to toe in black velvet and lace? Such an important question! Then we have the, but should I spend that much on a costume? which begs the answer, perhaps you should get something you can wear in every day outfits as well as at Halloween. So yes, this is the thinking behind this wishlist! Do you guys know what you're going to wear or are you doing anything super exciting for Halloween? Let me know!!

How cute is this pastel dress from Dolls Kill? There are two different styles, the other is a black dress with the word "Goth" on the front which I believe Amy has- we really want to meet up and do a shoot with us both wearing them!! I think the other dress has kind of inspired this outfit as I wanted to wear it with a lot of black! I'm still loving my Motel Rocks jacket, as you guys know I've probably worn it in many an OOTD and I also am loving these lace up platform boots by Lamoda!

Here is my first look from my visit to Portmeirion! This fountain is one of my favourite places in Portmeirion (as I say this, many other spots around the village spring to mind) This outfit felt super mermaid-y so I thought shooting it by the fountain would look really good! For those of you who don't know, Portmeirion is a small town in Wales near Porthmadog created entirely by one architect, Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925 to 1976. Its one of my favourite places to visit as theres always something interesting around every corner and the way its designed is amazing, you learn something new every time you go there. For example, this time I realised that the sun sets so that the last remaining light is on the bandstand and main balcony which looks out over the village, which I think is pretty cool. It also meant I could get some really fab photos for my next few outfits!

Hi guys!! You may have seen this look on my insta already but I decided to upload it here too!! Some of you may be looking at the items list and thinking hey wait, Burberry? I actually found this little waistcoat-jacket type thing in a charity shop whilst I was in Leek about a month ago, I saw that it was pink and when I saw the label I was like ahh I must have it! I'm not sure when I'll wear it but it'll be good in the winter to wear over super warm jumpers ^_^ I also love this crop top from Hanmattan, the fit is amazing!! I have a few different tops from Hanmattan and I'm actually thinking of getting a few more because I really like them.
