Loves & Finds : Joy 2 Piece Crop Top and Skirt Set


I fell in love with this twin set from Joy. I happen to live a stones throw away from Joy, and on my hunt for a wedding outfit, they were my first stop. I loved this set straight away, but obviously you can't buy the first thing you see, I had not even got to Central London yet. So I waved it goodbye and headed to all the top spots but you know what? After a day of trawling the best London has to offer, this was the best I found. I love the fact it is 2 in 1. Weddings are so expensive and who wants to buy a frilly frock thats too fancy to wear again. With this 50s style piece I was able to re work the separates to pair with separate outfits (which I did in Paris later, see pics below). The other thing I loved about this piece is that it is figure flattering to my hour glass shape. The crop shows off my waist while the skirt hides my belly. R E S U L T.

Another great thing is that this set is STILL available at Joy and on sale :D !!! Shop here

Throw Back Thursday Pin Up Girl Reinvented




Every once in a while it is good to just kick back and relax, but that doesn't mean you have to look shabby darling. If there is one thing the women of the 50s knew, it was how to lounge glamourously. Effortlessly feminine and consistently chic, 50s women even knew how to make hair rollers made out of Coke cans sexy so I thought I would channel their efforts for a laid back Thursday.

Soft feminine fabrics combined with killer heels & statement lips are the typical traits that personify the era, so I made sure to include them today.

Form this era: Punky earrings to add an irreverent edge whilst fluffy jumper is soft, feminine and chilled.

From 50's :  classic 50s style hair tie, skinny jeans and stilettos

Sometimes you just want your clothes to give you a cuddle and your hair to give no hassle. Today was one of those days. Practical & comfortable... who said you can't have it all?

Earring bar, Accessorize, £6
