All Saints Anglaise Dress / Galibardy Teeth Necklace / Vintage Mens Belt / Topshop Boutique Lace-up Boots / Balenciaga City Bag

I’ve been sorting my wardrobe out recently & have been unearthing so many things I’d totally forgotten about. I love that feeling of re-finding something you used to wear all the time & getting obsessed with it all over again…

This Galibardy necklace is one of those things & has been constantly around my neck the past week or so. It’s one of those pieces that never fails to get people talking, whether they love it for it’s quirky, slightly dark & morbid charm or hate it for pretty much those exact same reasons. People just seem to love giving me their opinion on it, whilst I was waiting at the bus stop an old lady noticed it & and asked firstly if they were teeth & then looking a little shocked asked if they were real! I told her they weren’t & she then talked to me whilst we waited about how interesting it was & how she still has her husbands gold teeth!

I’ve also been getting a little obsessed with All Saints again & have been digging out all my old dresses, I just love their cuts & silhouettes & the way they play with textures. Normally I’m not much of a fan of embroidery anglaise, it’s a little too girly & sweet for me, but somehow here it just works. I think it’s the mixture of the draping, the colour & the slightly disheveled look about it, as soon as I saw it I knew it was mine!

PS: Apologies for my slightly startled face, it was extremely windy & these were the only two usable photos!

FAIIINT Draped Leather Jacket / ASOS Maxi Dress / Topshop Wedges / Topshop Studded Belt / ASOS Leather Snake Bangle

I hate to do the stereotypical British thing & moan about the weather, but seriously, it’s June & I’m wearing a heavy maxi dress & a leather jacket & still feeling like I’d happily wrap up even more! I decided to use the opportunity to get a few more wears out of the draped leather jacket I made last year, I’m sure most of you have already seen the previous post about it & me professing my love for this ‘tester’ – here. I think it’ll be one of those things I keep & wear forever, despite it being my first attempt & knowing that it is far from perfect, I just love it regardless. I really do need to get making a few more for Autumn though, I still really want to do a nude version, but still haven’t found that perfect nude leather I’ve been searching for to use for it…

I’ve also fallen in love with orange again, I just love the way it looks paired with black, so I had to dig out this old ASOS bangle. I have a feeling it’ll be getting a lot more wear again soon, it adds such a nice pop of colour to my usual all black outfits. I’ve even been a little tempted by a bright orange maxi dress, anyone who knows me will know how unusual this is for me, but I really just can’t get enough of it, I wonder if because the weathers rubbish I’m subconsciously trying to make myself feel a bit more summery…
