EMBROIDERY

As a kid I was always have been creative and had every crafty set under the sun and as I got older it transitioned to my love for hand sewing and embroidery. So much so I decided to base most of my school projects on hand sewing and knitting.

RELAUNCH

So yes, once again I was not here for a few months. Before Christmas even hit many changes were happening in my personal life. But I feel like every time I change up my blog, it is usually because I am also changing as a person. Whether that be growing up a little more or my inspiration or fashion sense. As I am growing and changing all the time, if feel like my blog (being a big part of me) should change too! I'm back for good I promise.

#BROKE WITH EXPENSIVE TASTE: BOOTY CALL

#BWET
I've been rocking a few boots on my blog recently, so I thought I should give the the low down on all the boots that will get you through the oh-so lovely winter season. 

THE ANKLE BOOT
Whether mesh, knit, velvet the ankle boot reigns supreme every year and this year even more due to the fabric. The great thing about this type of boot is that you can stick a pair of tights on and team it with a cool slip dress. 

OVER THE KNEE
I already have several over the knee boots myself. I feel that with the this particular boot you don't need to overdress in order to pull it off. To be honest the best way to wear these boots is with confidence. Strut your stuff!

SHOE BOOT
Shoe boots can go either way, you can go full blown dressy or comfortable everyday wear.  Whether the dressy up cousin or the comfy one of the family. I's basically perfect for every occasion. 

Tip for wearing ankle boots: roll (or cut off) the hem of your jeans to show off your boots. 
Hope you enjoyed my boot low down

ALL THAT GLITTERS

Time to dust off that camel coat that was hiding in the back of my cupboard. This is one my favourite pieces that I don't think I could ever part from.

I seem to have a bunch of clothes that I will never seem to throw away. Certain pieces are more then just clothes to me they tend to evoke a certain memories or a time that I wore them continuously and for that reasons they will always stay with me. Maybe because most of them have been pre-loved, which seems to make me love them more greatly. Like this camel coat, when I saw it in the charity shop I could already feel myself searching for my purse in my bag to buy it. 

THIGH HIGHS X PUFFER

Dog walking with a difference was the original name for this blogpost. Imagine. This day was a sheer struggle for taking pictures and it was about to rain but we came through. Who would have thought that a puffa jacket would ever be cool again, reminds me of those overly massive jackets that were two sizes too big that my mum used to make me wear. And yes I did steal this puffa jacket from my boyfriend and no he isn't getting it back. 

THE FURRY HAZE

Being ill has not been fun. It's funny how as I get older I just don't care about what other think about me and what I wear. Some appreciate it others not so much. But it is really comforting feeling to express myself in the way that I choose to. Maybe it's the creative flare that I always knew was inside me rearing it's weird head.

Carnival Get Up On The Cheap

Plush Blush

I recently saw a post by fellow blogger Jodie Louise's post on her beautiful blush silk bomber jacket. Which in turn inspired me to delve into blush tones. Super cute, scrummy colour good enough to eat. 

Summer Sandals On A Budget

I thought that my blog needed better direction, so I decided to make a few changes. I'm really passionate about the clothes that I wear, however I don't want to break my bank account. Affordable fashion is the way forward. Check out my about page for more.

Summer is in full swing and it has been extremely foot in London. Londoners are used to wet, cold weather all year round so it's nice to have a bit of sum. It also means it's time to get those toes out. SKIN OUT!!

"I ONLY BUY IN THE SALE"

Me: I never have any money 

Also me: spends all money on clothes

A few years ago, I just thought I need to stop this madness of buying everything that I see, because without fail I then walk into the same store and low and behold that the same item is 20% cheaper. *major eye roll* 

Seriously £8, Saturday night is sorted!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY !!

New look. Same old barmy Viv. If I was to tell you a year ago that I would still have a blog, I would laughed hysterically. This time last year I started a blog because it felt like a no-brainer. I love fashion and I want to show people what my personal style is. A year later I am so grateful for the people that read blog and being able to go back and looking through different times of the year - almost like a visual journal.

Travels: Paris 16

I feel like so far this year, I am ticking a lot of things on my bucket list. My generous family treated me to a lovely trip to PARIS. It just happened to be when the Euros are on. But ... my favourite day BY FAR was going to my palace. Disneyland. It was amazing, I felt like I was ten years old all over again, I dragged my mum around all the attractions and of course the parade! 

We also went to the Louvre (which is the largest museum in the world), Norte Dame, Eiffel Tower and the 'fan zone' where they were showing France play on massive screens whilst we were there - the atmosphere was amazing. The first ever Chanel store was a beautiful experience, being able to enter and feel the history of the place made me speechless. I absolutely love the city. It's just so effortlessly cool, full of culture and great wine may I add. 

Well you can obviously tell I enjoyed my time there. Here are a few of my holiday snaps.
