SPRING / SUMMER WISHLIST 2016 | WHOISJOSIEWHO



So, Summer is around the corner and I've crawled out from underneath my rock to get a sun tan. Most of my wardrobe is quite suited to summer and I can always find nice little bits in Charity Shops but there's a few things I'd really like right now!



Leather Strap Shoes
£25.99
Pull & Bear

I just totally love these! They look so easy to slip on and off, which is something I love in a shoe. They also remind me of some sandals I had in my teenage years that I wore to death! They'll go with everything. LOVE.


Retro T-Shirt
£10.00
Pull & Bear

Need I explain this? It's awesome. The printed T-Shirt trend is awesome & Pull & Bear are killing it with their affordable designs!




Post Mid-Volume Backpack
£60.00
Herschel Supply & Co

Summer makes us all extra lazy & at the moment I'm lugging all of my overnight things to my boyfriends in a Fred Perry Holdall which is absolutely killing my shoulder. I need a new backpack because hands free to eat crisps whilst walking plus even weight distribution. win-win I'd say. 



Classic Black Backpack
£65.00
Fjallraven Kanken 

Okay yes. I'm blogging about this flipping backpack again. They're everywhere I go and I want one! Also to solve my shoulder bag dilemma. Back Packs are COOL. Say no more.


Black High Tops
£47.99
Converse

So my Boyfriend had a wee moan at me for constantly wearing my £1 Boots all of the time but they're just so damn comfy! I've taken a boot hiatus and started wearing my converse again. I really want a black pair because I already have white & Black goes with everything too. 


Oliviah Leopard Print Chiffon Maxi
£15.00
Pretty Little Thing

This skirt is my spirit. It's fabulous. Imagine it with a strappy crop-top and the Black converse. Sunglasses. Sunshine. Want. Need. Pls Gooby. 


That's all for my wishlist! I'll try really hard to get back into blogging more! I really will!

OOTD: Beside the Seaside


Hello loves,

A quick OOTD today, Last week I went to the seaside with my Family for my sisters birthday lunch.
It was warm & sunny but very windy hence the coat!


My Dress is from a Charity Shop for £1 but is originally from Topshop! Bargain of the day.
I have my Yellow Boyfriend coat on from Primark, It as around £22 I think.
I wore my JuJu Jellies with this outfit because they're just too cute! They were £25, *has heart attack* how did I pay that for jellies???


The Topshop dress was from the Petites range & was quite short on me so I put a belt with it. I also wore some tights because bbrrrr windy. 


I had my Primark £1 sunnies on and Finished it with my Fluffy Bag from Kylijane! 

That's all for now, sorry for the boring post I don't feel much like blogging at the moment.

OOTD | Welcome to SHOREBITCH


Before I begin this OOTD I'd like to say i'm 100% joking with the Title & Title Picture. hahaha

I met my girl Alana in Shoreditch for Cocktail hour yesterday & we passed this awesome wall so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be like a real blogger with an interesting OOTD background lool.


I kept It simple but cute because ALAS we were not out-out.

I'm wearing my Sisters 2004 915 New Look Jean Jacket (who knew she was such a fashionable 14 year old?) with a Floral Kimono Shirt underneath for a bit of snazz (£1.50 from Sue Ryder).
I opted for Skinny Jeans which are from Primark, These are my go to High Waisted Jeans and I'm on pair number 2! 


SOMEBODY CALL VOGUE.


The usual suspects here Accessory-wise, Black sunnies from Primark (£1) & My Trusty Topshop Satchel!
Simple flat shoes Complete the 'look' which funny story I wore to be comfortable & ended up with a cork board push pin through my shoe and in my foot! OUCH.

Here's some Pictures of the Cocktails at Chico Bandito. It was Happy Hour and Cocktails were £3.50 & Ofc it being a Mexican place we had to have nachos! MUCH RECOMMEND!


<3


I'm Carrie Bradshaw at LAST! Cosmopolitan.


Seeing the Nachos again is making me hungry... they were Spicy Beef Nachos too...mmmmm


This was a peach something or something... IDK it's Alcoholic and I LOVED IT.

OOTD | The Vintage Flares |

Hey Lovelies! 
I'm back this Monday with a very on Trend OOTD for you! Unless you've been hiding under a rock you may have noticed that SS15 is HIGHLY influenced by the 1970's! 
I'm really loving this trend as it means I get to raid my mums wardrobe for all of her vintage accessories! 


I thought i'd focus on some Denim Flares today, they're everywhere from the catwalk to celebrities & I managed to bag myself this pair for only £1.50!
Yet another cracking charity shop find you'll agree, They were a Size 16 but using my whizzy seamstress skills they were a Size 6 in ten minutes!
Don't be dismayed to leave something behind because it's not your size, alterations can easily be made!




Paired with my flares, I put on my Striped top from H&M. I love this top it's a staple, I love anything with stripes on! 

I've also Popped on some black platforms from Primark too, for a bit of height as I'm a mini person! 


I'm wearing my Mum's Vintage Faux Snakeskin belt from Biba. (Swoooooooon)

I love this belt i've been nicking it since I was 13 haha!


My wide-brimmed Trilby hat is from Topshop! I'm lucky that my Sister let me have this one.. It's wonderful and I would never of been able to afford it! Anyone else love Topshop but won't buy anything unless it's in the sale? haha!


Hat closeup! Also new Fringe-ness! I love it, I've had two people tell me I look like Suki Waterhouse! SUCH COMPLIMENT. 

That's all for today! What bargains have you picked up from Charity Shopping that's on trend this season?

OOTD | Sundaze |

Hey guys! This weeks OOTD is coming on a Tuesday, Apologies! Ricardo took me to London yesterday and it was a lovely surprise day out!

Today It was really sunny outside so I decided to style a few Charity shop bargains I've purchased recently In a 1969/1970 Style OOTD.





I've really been getting into my Charity shopping recently with it being a new Season for Fashion Trends and all. Even my dad comes along with me now when he sees all of the bargains I'm bringing home!

I picked up this gorgeous lace shirt from St.Francis' Hospice for only £2.50 and it's so lovely! I'm wearing it unbuttoned here but buttoned up it makes a fabulous tunic style shirt, the lace is daisy shaped and very 1960s!

My Straw bag was only £1 from Sue Ryder, I found it in a big pile of bags and I have the biggest weakness for Straw bags I couldn't leave it behind.




Ok. Let's talk about my Suede Skirt. 
I actually made it! As you may or may not know I LOVE to sew and I've been testing a few patterns out for this seasons styles. I tried out a mini skirt in this Faux Suede material and ITS AWESOME.

I teamed it with this thick Black Belt from Primark, a Hand me down from my sister! I love the thick cut look it gives and It's a very 70's thing. If you're ever in doubt about the new 1970's fashion trends, Remember - Flares. Suede. Belts. Tassels. 

I'll be making some Suede Skirts as well as other Fabulous Vintage Style bits to sell for release in May so watch this space & Follow me on instagram for updates! 

My sunglasses are from Forever 21, I purchased them when I used to work there and they cost me about £6 which is the most I've ever paid for sunglasses! THE HORROR. But I love them they're very Nicole Richie - esque. 

I threw on a Black crop top from H&M (£1.99) and Black Tights and Pumps from Primark (£2.99 & £4.00).

I thought I'd include my eye make-up as it matched my Outfit haha! I had Collection's Felt Tip Black Eyeliner and a Collection Copper Glitter Eyeliner in the inner corners, TRES CHIC.


I plaited the sides of my hair and brought them together at the back, Curling the ends of my hair and pinning it.

You get a nice close up of the Lace Shirt here and it's JUST LOVELY.

That's all for today, I'd like to thank you for coping with my poor quality photos and I'm so excited to say I'll be buying a Brand new proper camera come payday! All of my Blog Posts will be HD-ified. YAY.

Whats the best charity shop purchase you've made recently! I'd really love to know so don't be shy in tweeting/commenting to tell me!
