I've been meaning to post all week, but i knew my camera and tripod would die in the gail force winds we've been expieriencing! This outfit is a little something I wore my dinner with my best friend. I've really embraced the maxi trend this year and I'm loving it. This burnt orange colour is so autumnal and I love the colour contrast with the denim jacket. I purchased this huge floppy hat a few week ago from Primark and I love the 70s vibe it gives to any outfit! I wish I'd bought one before summer because I'm not sure I'll need it in the next few months. Dya like my moustache ring? I love it, so quirky!
The strap broke on my vintage bag (my mum's from the 80s) a few days ago. I was heart broken. But my mum managed to stitch it back up and its good as new!
I had an incredible day last weekend visiting London. For those of you who follow me on Twitter you'll have seen how excited I was. I looked round London College of Fashion (WOW!) and went shopping on Oxford Street. It was my first trip to the centre of London and I went on my own, felt so independent! I shouldn't have my heart set on the university but it was so perfect for me! It'll be sooooo difficult to get accepted though!
You can't really see very well from the photos but I've done some more aztec nails. Its so easy to do. I just used different pastel base colours and a black nail pen to create the look. What do you think?
Also my Jeffrey Campbell Lita's arrived a few days ago! Words cannot explain my excitement. I wore them to a party last night and they were so comfy!
Love Monica,xxxx
