BOHO VIBES

[Top - H&M]

[Trousers - TKMAXX]

[Bag - Camden Market]

[Jacket - Primark]

[Sunglasses Primark]

[Lipstick - MUA]

I was feeling very boho for todays post, so I thought i'd drag my flares out and a nice little plain top. These flares I got from TKMAXX in Braunschweig in Germany for about €5 but they do also sell them in our TKMAXX for £5-£7 which I think is a great price even if you only get 4-5 wears out of them. They're high waisted and SUPER comfy I could sleep every night in them! 

My top is from H&M and is just a casual basic cropped cami top, was about £3 last summer, it is a bit small for me now as i've put the most weight on but for photographs it did perfectly. I didn't really want a busy/patterned top as I have this gorgeous tassle sleeveless jacket thing which was only £3 from primark! (most of my wardrobe is as i work there!) The cream/white of the top contrasts with the black/grey of the bottoms which I really like and then to add a bit of colour I have my trust camden boho bag! 

Ever in need of summer items, Camden is my place to go. I JUST LOVE! I am taking a trip there this weekend so I will try and so a short post about my time there and where I visit/what I buy! As everyone knows I will come back with a train full! but back to the bag.. It's so hard wearing and can carry a tonne, i'm sure it was about £3.99 I've never had a problem with it and i've had it for years! 

I also have in these photos my favourite Topshop shoes which have been mentioned on a few posts now if you want to read more about them and how I wear them day-to-day! 

PEACE XO 

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!

SHADE LDN LOVIN'

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, had some things going on uni, bday etc. but after my deadline I will be back with a BANG!

Todays post is about an outfit that I can't wait to wear properly but one, it needs to be a bit warmer outside and two i need to get some more suitable underwear as it's V see-through!

The outfit is quite sporty and the dress by SHADE LONDON is quite tennis like, it's a great fit but is a tiny bit see through but with a nice white set of underwear would be perfect. (although if you can get away without wearing a bra that would be best). The bag by LAZY OAF on ASOS (NOW SOLD OUT), comes without the holographic eyebrows, i added them myself for a shoot. The sandals are 3inches high by YRU bought from SPORTS DIRECT only £13.75 may I add, and they are the most AMAZING things I have ever bought and would recommend to the moon and back. Finally the jacket is a vintage nike patterned bomber jacket which was bought from Manchester!

Thank you for reading my post, I will be doing more blog posts on styles bits by me and will also blog about styling on other people too, watch this space
