SWOON 1970'S LOOKBOOK

Hello loves!

It's been quite a while, many apologies! I've been working really hard on Swoon recently which if you didn't already know is my own Clothing Label! Everything is handmade by me in the UK & I absolutely love it!

I brought out wave two today, Which is all listed at £11 and under on my store now linked HERE.

I got hold of my good friend Nicole and asked her to help shoot a Lookbook, Which turned out so lovely! It's 1970's inspired fashion &I'm so happy with the photos.

Here they are!

1970's Influences Primark Haul | May '15 |

Hey loves!

A few bits from Primark for you all today! I've been eyeing up some SS15 Pieces that all have a really 1970's Vibe! 

I don't often shop big at Primark anymore, I have the joy of being employed by them & It feels like handing your wages back! Which anyone in Fashion Retail can relate to, am I rigggghttttt?

Yesterday I felt like treating myself however because I had experienced the rarity of not only a non-busy Stratford Primark BUT I also found my size (6) in EVERYTHING. MA GAWD.

Shirred Crop Top

£3.90

Primark

This cute little thing is originally £5, for some reason It was extra cheap in Stratford so I couldn't say no!

There was one left in my size also, So I grabbed it haha.

This is such a cute piece for the summer & will literally go with EVERYTHING.

Sports Stripe Hotpants

£3

Primark

I love these! They're wicked 1970's and have an American vibe! You can just see Farrah Fawcett or Goldie Hawn wearing these!

Button Down Mini Skirt

£10

Primark

IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS. Ever since It came in with the new season I'd Wayne Campbell it with the 'It will be mine,oh yes,It will be mine.'

And now it is! Also, weirdly this went through at £3? Did somebody mess up? haha (I won't tell if you don't!)

Foundation Stick

£2.00

Primark

I also got another one of these foundation sticks. Similar to the Kryolan TV Makeup sticks, They're banging for doing a bit of cream contour Drag queen style!

I already have the medium one for contour & now I have this one for highlighting! Also an excellent match for my pale skin too,It's so hard for me to find things that are actually pale!

That's all for today, What's your favourite Primark purchase most recently?

OOTD | Pastel Basics |

Hey guys! Today's OOTD is really simple! I went Fabric Shopping in London and just wanted to be on trend but comfortable! I was ill yesterday so I've been feeling super gross!

I'm wearing my New H&M Jersey Dress, Found in a Charity Shop for £1 Brand New with Tags! It's a really nice peach colour, although it doesn't show well!

I wore my Topshop crop top under it (£9) which I got last year, I wish I had waited though because Primark brought in the same top for much cheaper recently!

Then on the bottom I've just got Tights (Primark) and My White Dolly shoes from ASOS! (£10 Depop)

Because of where I was going I used my Topshhop Backpack today, Found in Oxfam on Holloway for £6! LOVE.

I didn't catch a picture but with this I just wore a Cardigan and my Black leather Jacket with a Wooly scarf, It's a bit nippy out!

That's all for today, Hows your monday?

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?
