Vintage summer...





I realised i hadn't actually done many posts styling my brown Cambridge Satchel bag! The satchel was a birthday present from my parents and i absolutely adore it, i'm so glad that they chose the classic brown because it is super versatile and goes so well with most things in my wardrobe. I use it everyday as my college bag because it is so sturdy and is the right size for all my books and stuff. For this outfit i decided to run with the retro vintage style of my satchel... 

I decided to chuck on my white crochet jumper that i purchased from a vintage store a while ago - the crochet detail is so cute.

Jumper - Vintage

The dress i'm wearing was one of my favorites last summer! It has a ditsy floral skirt and the top half is a soft denim-like material

Dress - River island 

Embossed initials - cute little touch! 


This little jumper has the cutest scalloped hemline! I cinched it in with my simple brown belt from Primark. Like most people I am naturally drawn to floral prints whenever the sun is out, simply because i love to a little feel feminine. It is the perfect summer cliche. 

Belt - Primark 

I wear these healed Chelsea boots all the time! They are super easy to walk in and i think that deep oxblood colour is divine! The little white socks subtly accent my jumper wonderfully.

Denim on Denim - Topshop on Topshop

~ Is Double Denim ever OK ? ~

Brace yourself for a whole lotta denim and and a whole lotta topshop ...


As soon as we hear those alliterated words "Double Denim" we instantly think MAJOR 80'S FASHION FAUX PAS right? Yes i have to admit the idea can seem a little cringe worthy but sometimes a little double denim is okay...


The biggest Double denim mistake people make is wearing two items of  denim that are the exact same colour and the exact same texture...NO!  If you are going to tackle this denim trend then the best way is to mix a light wash with dark wash or stone wash denim like the one i'm sporting above. A full on Jean suit is never a good look (just take a look at Britney spears and Justin Timberlake in 2001).


I love the speckled stone wash on these jeans, Topshop is always my favourite place to shop for a comfy pair of jeans, especially the 'LEIGH' range - if you own a pair you will totally understand!

Jeans - Topshop


A denim Jacket is a staple item in pretty much every girl's wardrobe, to me light wash denim just screams SUMMER!

- So the answer is YES! Sometimes double denim is ok - 


Okay so if you're not ready or willing to tackle the 'DD' look a nice chunky knit cardigan is always a good option to just throw on for those 'not quite summer yet' days! I love this cardigan its my go to thing its super warm, super soft and was super cheap - a total primark bargin!

I finished off this outfit with my favourite pear of healed Chelsea boots - a bit of height enhancement is always good when you're as short as me!
