Just got this absolute BEAUT on http://www.9crowstreet.com, a lovely vintage shop in which I used to spend all my money in Dublin. How thoughtful of them to move online so I can continue to do so :) I know I'm broke again but I couldn't not buy it. I'm going to Spain in about 6 weeks anyway and since it's a one off vintage piece I had to get it then and there. Who cares if I'm going somewhere that's 360 miles from the sea, I need this swimsuit! Probably. I promise I'll be good, starting tomorrow.

The lovely patterned boots were a present from my friends from Topshop last year and I still love them! The sunglasses are H&m and pretty much everything else is second hand. I made the skirt from a slip and the lining of another dress. Enjoying the lovely sunshine for a day :)

More clashing prints, bright colours and stacked jewellery with lots of animal print! I love this OTT look for summer, it's so fun and easy to do if you literally just pile on everything you own in a similar colour scheme. I've always loved wearing loads of jewellery so I really enjoyed doing these pictures and the 'Back Garden Paradise' ones.

The patterned bikini top is from monsoon, and I wore a leopard print bandeau bra underneath it from Topshop. The pants are New Look and jewellery has been accumulated over the years.

Back garden paradise

 

Summer finally decided to grace us with its presence today; the beautiful sunlight streaming through the windows and the rich colours of the flowers in our garden inspired me to pile on the jewellery, prints and bright colours! The little stacked bracelets were made by my talented little sister, and most of the other accessories are second hand. The gorgeous turqouise necklace was a present from my Mum. It's by Victoria Foutz (http://www.victoriafoutz.com/) whose jewellery is now stocked in a little craft shop near our house. Printed shorts are from good old Penneys.

My beautiful little sister wearing the hairband and skirt I made her for her sixth birthday! A gorgeous evening on the beach and thank you to my sister Sarah for the lovely pictures. My dress is Urban Outfitters and the jacket is second hand.
