SHADE LONDON TENNIS DRESS.. SO 90'zzzz

[Dress - Shade London]

[Bag - Monki]

[Jacket - Afflecks]

[Shoes - YRU]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Fishnet Socks - Primark]

I haven't had much time to post this week because of me getting a new (old) job and trying to sort out Germany as that's where I am going on Saturday! I thought I'd show off this dress again because I think is super cute! and very 90's sports! I've always really liked the stuff from Shade London but since I am a poor student was never able to afford anything from there, UNTIL my cute boyfriend bought me this for my 20th birthday!

Pairing this gorg dress with my now not so white YRU sandals and some cutie fishnet socks that match my jacket and hair was a fab decision, I feel so coordinated right now.

The sporty feel from this vintage bomber complimented the dress as it's quite hard to find something to go well with it especially because it's so summery and short, it's meant to be worn alone but today was too cold for that! 

My bag was a huge bargain from MONKI in the sale for £10 got it around april time and think it's sold out now! 

I do love this dress a lot, but it is quite see through, have to have some certain underwear (if any) to wear with it because the slightest pattern would show so bad underneath! So I would definitely either, if you're close to a 10 get the next size up or make sure you're at least a 6-8 to fit in the dress without it being see through!

Please excuse my awful colour hair in this post, I am trying at the moment to get it a nice subtle EVEN colour but as you can imagine its easier said than done! If you want to know more about my hair I have a previous post on what I used/how I did it! 

Still in love with the ombrè lips though I used the purple shade from makeup revolution and the black shade from MUA both lipsticks £1 each and then used a brush to create an ombrè effect on the outside.

MINGA LONDON INFAMOUS RAINBOW UNITARD

[Rainbow Unitard - Minga London]

[Jacket - AGE UK]

[Trainers - Adidas (Footlocker)]

[Belt - Topshop]

[Bag - Topshop]

[Septum Ring - eBay]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

I've been so excited to write this post and even just get this unitard! I saw it about 2 months ago and I desperately needed it but by the time I got the money {as I am worlds poorest student} it had sold out and I was devastated! After messaging the company and stalking their instagram (probably worlds most annoying customer) it finally came back in stock! After they kindly tagged me in a comment to let me know it was back I ordered it there and then! A week and a bit later (thanks to the bank holiday) it came! I didn't just want to write a normal post about it because I love it so much, I wanted to make a special effort, so took my camera man {boyf} and drove us to a derelict housing estate to find something colourful, or more colourful than my garden/a wall! 

Finally got some cute shots that show off this amazing unitard! 

Sorry for spamming!

           

The unitard itself is SO amazing, the colours are so vibrant! and even though it only comes in one size it's very giving! and less see through than I thought it would have been, especially when I took it out of the packaging because it looked so small! But once it was on I didn't wanna take it off ever! I can't wait to wear it in Germany next week! 

I had to pair this unitard with my pink supercolours because they're like a match made in heaven and to top it off I had to include my gorgeous piece of fluff backpack {I feel like a little Dora the Explorer in it} best buy at £26 from Topshop!

I've tried to link most of the stuff in my ootd but some of them I either got on sale or from vintage/charity shop therefore I can't 

But just one final thing... ISN'T THIS UNITARD AMAZING!!!??????

TWO BIG VINTAGE BUYS! SUMMER GEMS

[Swimsuit - Vintage]

[Lilac Duster Coat - Age UK]

[Flatform Sliders - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

So as you may know on a Wednesday morning I like to go to Walton Street Market to see if I can get any bargains for summer and for my growing wardrobe! I went this Wednesday and my favourite stall/man wasn't even there which made me the MOST sad! So to cheer myself up I took a trip to my favourite charity shops and some of them in Hull have vintage sections which is so good! I found these bargains and I was so overwhelmed! This gorgeous vintage swimsuit was from the vintage part and omg took me by surprise, I didn't even take time to look at it or try it on, it was just love at first sight and I had to have it! It has an amazing plunge type neckline and a low back! It's also such a bright vibrant pattern, so this summer! Would look amazing with some shorts or even a cute black zip up bodycon skirt but mostly with some GORG velvet lace up shorts from somewhere like dolls kill! although right now they're all sold out! :( 

As for the duster coat it was from my all time favourite charity shop which is the AGE UK discount shop on Holderness Road! NOTHING is more than £2 in there, whether it be shoes, bags, coats etc... AMAZING! and this little beauty was only £1.50 and I love it! I can't wait to take it to Germany with me next week! It's not coming off! I think it would compliment black skinny jeans perfectly with a nice white raglan or something similar it would be the cutest! even by the pool this little ensemble would be perfect!

I think I should literally be crowned Hull's biggest bargain queen! maybe even the UK's especially with clothes I seem to just find the bargains everywhere! Maybe it;s just the fact that Hull is so cheap for EVERYTHING!  

Hope you love this outfit as much as I do and feel free to comment on what you think! 

Thank you for reading! 

PEACE!

OOTD.. THE COLOUR CATCHER

I've been pining for so much coloured clothing for such a long time and when now I've started a little collection of sassy coloured clothing I needed to share. 

As my hair it lilac at the moment you may be able to tell that I am a #lilaholic right now! 

If anyone's interested where my outfits from the shoes are YRU, the jeans are TOPSHOP, jacket is vintage from AFFELCKS MANCHESTER, sunglasses from PRIMARK, bag from TOPSHOP and lippy from SUPERDRUG, socks are from BOOHOO.COM 

I also have previous posts about all these items on my blog if you wanted to take a look back at them!

I enjoyed styling this outfit so much it's such a blast of lilac and argh I love! This jacket is so my favourite still not over it was only £9.99 it also has padded shoulders! Everyone needs padded shoulders!

Thanks for reading this short post I'll be back posing properly next week! 

PSYCHODELIC

Ever been so excited for an online order to come that you find yourself checking the letter box at least twice a day? THATS ME! Well it's been me since last Thursday. I ordered this gorgeous thing from boohoo.com 

LINK TO CATSUIT

With free saver delivery may I add, boohoo.com are great for delivery deals! I ordered a size M as I usually am anywhere between a 8-12 and so this was a good middle ground. It fits me fab, I could have maybe gotten away with a S but I didn't want to push it but OMG I love it! It's so eye catching and vibrant which is great for the festival season and for anyone who wants to make a big SASSY statement this summer time!

I paired it with my adidas supercolour trainers to add to the total rush of colour the outfit gives off, along with my lilac hair (in miley buns of course) I think it would be the great festival outfit, all I was missing was a bindi and of course the glitter dust in hair and face! 

The back is nice and low which is fab but makes it unable to wear any bra, but who cares it's summer let it all hang out, everyone else seems too! good thing about this is catsuit is that even if you don't have the perfect body you can still wear it like everyone else because the amount of pattern hides some of the imperfections in a woman's figure, the high shine lycra material helps a lot too making things seem a little more streamlined!

Overall an amazing buy as it's only £15!! and I would recommend it to anyone!

Outfit of the day, handmade clothing all the way!

As I study fashion (even though now its fashion comms but it was design) I thought i'd put my trade to good use. I've been looking into buying some flares in velvet but people were selling for £30 and at the moment I just couldn't afford it. A jobless fashion shopping addicted student is not the best thing to be when you have more time on your hands than a watch. An impulse buy at my local haberdashery shop (BOYES) of 3M of dark purple crushed velvet fabric sparked up my brain as to creating my OWN flares!

After tracing my other flares to make a quick pattern I was on my way! How astounded was I when they came out as good as they did is unreal. (in my opinion nothing I do comes out as good as I thought) 

With the amount of time I have on my hands at the moment as well I decided to make two matching tops..TWO! 

I made both a point up halter-neck tie back and a elasticated boob-tube (both beginner garments I know but simple but effective is the way forward) 

I am thinking of making these sets for sale and selling them on my DEPOP account (USERNAME: annahodgson) I am just trying to perfect the pattern. 

I am very happy with my garment creations today I will be making more soon and putting them on my blog too! 

Thanks for reading dolls!

BARGAINS OF THE DAY.. Fab new outfits

So today I took a trip to my favourite charity shops in Hull down Holderness Road and I found these beauties so amazing prices! 

This amazing purple cheerleader skirt! Goes fab with my little purple phase! 

A lovely Ivory/beige cotton boho dress which would be great for festivals, debating whether to dye it pink yet...

Both this missoni style crochet like dress and this iridescent blue mermaid crochet bag so lovely and rainbow like and as for the bag OMG i am in love with it. Almost may take over my viv.. Maybe..

And finally this amazing dusky pink tie up top, I am wearing back to front as it looks so much better! Also has a low back/front so paired with a AA crossover bra looks amazing!

And to top it off I got all these things for £5.50! So even if people think we charity shops, it's only like buying off eBay or depop but if you rummage you may just find some gems, also the turnover of clothing some charity shop is amazing I go to my favourite one at least twice a week!

Thank you for reading my small post on charity thrift shopping!
