heya, so I have FINALLY got round to taking photos of an ootd *cheering*, and this amazing weather makes it so much easier. I am wearing this beautiful maxi skirt I found in my local charity shop for £3.50 BARGIN! Its originally from monsoon, so as you can imagine its good quality. It is however a size 12, so I was planning on taking it in, although with a belt it doesn't really matter as it comes up quite small anyways plus the pattern is just so perfect for this sunny weather. I teamed the skirt with my monki crop top (that I brought for a festival last year and didn't think I would find another new use for) I'm actually wearing it the wrong way round as it went with the outfit better like that. I love love love cat eye sunglasses and these were a christmas present last year that I saw on polyvore (if you follow me you'll be able to find the link). One of my obsessions at the moment is indian/ethnical kinda jewellery (not sure how to explain) so I was overwhelmed when I went into New Look after work and saw these beautiful earrings in the sale for an amazing £3!!! I also spotted the gold leaf necklace, that had 50% off so was around £4.50 and couldn't resist. However, after wearing it the rest of the same day some of the hooks have already came off, so its basically falling apart, so I'm deffo going to be taking that back!! 1 day! pffft. So anyways I will hopefully be trying to make my blog more constant, as I finish school this week forever AHH scary stuff. My new memory card also came for my camera so a YouTube video is on the way. Goodbye for now. 

What do you think of the outfit ? Link me your summer looks !!

Whats 6KS????

6ks weekly pick. by caterpillar-girll featuring white tops

If you're like me, you'll see bloggers constantly referring to receiving stuff from a site called 6ks. Now I'm always quite sceptical when bloggers mention how great items are that they have basically been plugged to mention, but I thought neither the less I would check the site out for myself. I was so so surprised with some of the items they were selling and generally impressed with the prices, it felt like a kinda online primark for the best of the dupes. For example the iconic paint t from zara, was only £14, not to mention all shipping is free and they have an online discount code to  receive 16% off! Shipping does take around 3 weeks though which I felt, being the impatient person I am, was too long. I'd probably forget I brought it by then and be pleasantly surprised. Never the less I am fascinated by each new product they bring out, for example the dress with the two ladies pictured above. Now correct me if its intact some rip-off of another dress, that wouldn't surprise me, but at £17 it just feels like a bargain for a real statement one off piece and as an artist myself any unusual pattern/ design always captures my eye, so this site defiantly keeps me interested and up to date. 3 weeks though? hmmm I'll just have to see if I believe anything is worth those weeks ahah and ill be sure to get back to you guys to see if it was worth it or if the quality is disappointing. 

Here are a few of my fave pics at the moment, they price from £8 - £20 so it is cheap cheap stuff! Please let me know what you think as I love love love comments!

Night Fever Night Fever

New obsession revealed... Flares.

When I think of flared trousers I instantly picture Mick Jagger swaying around a stage to 'Gimme Shelter' or something along the lines of this... 

Before the obsession started, I always assumed flares weren't very flattering as I am A, Not the tallest of people and B, find it hard as it is finding jeans that fit me in the right places. But after carrying out some research and seeing an increasing number of people sweeping them out the closet I can safely say that I am slowly growing fond of the idea. I think its time to find my inner 70's sheek. My favourite flares have to be the high wasted patterned type as they are just soo show stopping! (McQueen number at the bottom make my heart warmer) They work so well when they are tight at the top and then become full flare around the bottom of the knee with a nice pair of wooden sandals...

 I strongly believe flares are on the comeback as the jeans of the summer! Now that is one hell of a statement so I think it deserves some evidence.. Que photo evidence of people looking good in flares..

Lusting Over

Heya guys, so just a quick update of a few things that have recently caught my eye... Well this and many other things... Im obsessing over pretty swimsuits and bikini's ,even though I have 0 use for them, (someone take me on holiday) well maybe if i was to strut my stuff at the local swimming pool lol. I am also IN LOVE with those ALDO floral print sandals, are they not just stunning!? They are sadly sold out :( and I don't live near an ALDO shop so I shall just have to keep my eyes out for something similar or on my trusty friend eBay! I also love the similar ones they have just brought out from Topshop, however the heel is a lot higher and I don't think my feet would be too impressed, not that my feet have that much say over my life.

In other news.. I have also decided to make a Youtube ! HORAY! So I shall try and fit in some 'filming time' over the weekend, most probably after work. I think this will be great, since I have such a weakness to buying pretty things, I thought it would be more interesting to show you guys by video as I kinda suck at writing (dyslexic 4 lyf) and find it SO SO much easier to talk about things. Its also a lot easier to show you the things than fill up all my memory card with photos. I may also do a lookbook feature within the video to show how I would style the pieces. So there we have it! I am fast approaching becoming a Youtuber! Now all I need are viewers.. Hmm i wonder if they sell them in Topshop??
