New Accessories Holder

Hi

Just thought Id do a quick post while I'm waiting for my tie dye hair to develop!

I had a big tidy out in my room and had a whole load of belts that didn't really have a home, so I found them one!

 

This is my mannequin from uni and its my new accessories holder.
Ive just simply put all my belts round this and any other bits and bobs that didn't have home.
The shall is one I made from a scarf and cant wait to wear this summer, I might have to add a bit of fringing to it.

What do you think?
This a nifty idea or what!

Icon: Clarissa Darling + Mini Haul

'Allo!

So, the last time my other half was home we went for a sneaky Starbucks and the first thing he said to me was "You well look like Clarissa today"
I couldn't think of a better compliment!
Clarissa (1991-1994), was one of my fave programmes as a kid, I thought she was the height of cool!

The few bits and bobs of clothing I've bought this month have definitely been 90's inspired.
I thought I'd put together a lil' collage.

First up is a bit of a style board I put together from Google (soz Google) of images of Clarissa!


Everything in this is awesome!
The denim cut offs and neon slouchy tees, the denim waistcoat, high waisted, cold shoulder, crazy-ass prints! Hello, I love it.

 Cut off Denim Jacket - TKMaxx £11.69

My best bargain of the month was definitely this cropped, cut off sleeve black denim jacket.
Was so cheap with my staff discount at TKMaxx.
Not as amazing as Clarissa's dark pink number above but hey ho. 
 Its frayed, its rough, its perfect and feels good quality too.

Smiley Face Tee - Republic £12

Next up, the more out there thing I own as its tacky as hell but I was drawn to it.
This was £12 with 20% off in store that day at Republic.
I bought it a few sizes bigger to wear as a dress with leggings.
Not with tights as shown! That was a bad idea...
 Its rolled up sleeves and grunge vibes make me happy.

Denim Stud Dress - TKMaxx £10

And last is this denim dress with stud detail on the neck and straps.
Again with staff discount, a tenner.
This is girly and grungy and surprisingly light and comfy for denim.
Be perfect for easy dressing in summer.
Throw on some stompy boots or spiked sandals depending on the weather.

Is everyone loving that the 90's are back?
Who'd have thought this would all be back so soon!

Love Nina x.

River Island White Cut Out Boots:

Hi!

So for about a month I have been swooning over the black Jeffrey Campbell Coltranes and praying that come pay day I found some in stock somewhere! 
Alas, this did not happen.
In my hours spent drooling over photos on google I started to be really drawn to the white versions, which were in stock in office!
The only thing holding me back was price.
I thought Id have a look on all high street websites to try and find some cheaper.
Oh boy did I find some!
I had two black pairs and this white pair, which I eventually bought, and showed them to my fiance to see which he preferred.
He chose the white and I'm so glad he did cos I thought they were a bit too "out there"!
I placed an order straight away with next day delivery and I couldn't be happier!

Here are some images:





  White Cut Out Boots: River Island £65

  They are a bit more difficult to style, the whole black tights white shoes taboo!
So far they do look best with black and white items, ankle grazers look especially good.
They are comfy to wear all day and I'm usually a complainer!
They look awesome with ankle socks.
I just need to be braver and wear them more often!

What do you guys think?
Would you rock a white shoe?
