Spain - Outfits

I'm honestly going to try and do more blog posts over the summer because I've been useless at doing them! 
I've just got back from a week in Spain with my boyfriend so I'm going to do an outfit post about some of the things I wore while I was there. 
The place we stayed was called Cap Salou, it is a small area near the town of Salou in the Costa Dorada area and we had a really nice time! The weather was amazing and I've got major holiday blues now that I'm back in England.

Vintage re-work dress

The weather is absolutely gorgeous today! I hope it's nice where ever you are too! I hope it stays like this until after all my assignments are in and I can properly enjoy it, I really want a day down the beach. 
I just quickly popped into town today for a few bits and I was boiling! Definitely regret wearing tights today; far too hot.

Dress - Best Vintage (Newcastle) 

This is a vintage re-work dress made out of a man's shirt. It's also a Ralph Lauren one >.<

I love the pastel colours on it. It also has a really nice hemline which is very slightly higher at the sides than at the front and back. It has a button down collar too.

I wish I knew how to make these dresses myself!

My Gran's sister is visiting from Southampton this weekend and we're going for 'afternoon tea' with her on Saturday. I think I might wear this dress again then. Hopefully the weather is still nice by the weekend!

*Church sale finds*

Me and my Mum went to a church sale last Saturday and it was great! A proper classic church sale with properly bargain prices! Only 20p entry too ;)
It was even worth getting up early for when I had a hangover, plus I got a bacon sandwich and hash browns out of it as a reward for getting up early.

I got these great bargains! The dog is a proper vintage toy, probably older than me and he was 20p. 

The ugly cat make up bag is to replace my ugly floral make up bag which had loads of rips in it and my Mum despised, that was only 20p too.

The backpack was 50p.

This is Timothy -20p

I got this set of 4 flower rings for 10p

My mum got this oversized Zara clutch bag for 50p and it's suede on the other side

Definitely the best bargains I've found for a while, everything was so cheap >.<

Hair cut

I cut my hair.
A lot.
The bin was full of my hair.
Here is the last photo taken of me before I cut my hair:

I was so sick of it and felt like it was just hanging there. Not in an actual style.
I often end up cutting my hair if I'm left alone for too long and my boyfriend was away at work an extra night than we'd originally thought. So I cut my hair off:

I LOVE IT NOW!
It's all choppy and flicky, I love it! The look I was going for was partly inspired by Rapunzel's hair after Flynn chops it off at the end of Tangled.
When I first did it I wasn't sure if I liked it and I was worried I'd made a massive mistake and rang my Mum in a bit of a state...

But by the next day when I'd styled it properly and was wearing my own clothes (not pyjamas) I knew I liked it!

Let me know what you think of it! :)

90's Themed Birthday Party

It was my birthday in January but because I was on school placement every day I didn't have time to have a party with my friends, as well as seeing my family. So I had a belated party at the start of February (I'm sorry this post is late!)

It was a 90's themed fancy dress party so I told people that they could either come as a character from the 90's or just wear general 90's fashions. I even got some retro party snacks! Like those animal biscuits that come in the purple packet, cheese balls and those little savory snack sets that have the mini pretzels and fish crackers in them. I had a 90's playlist with all the classics on too!

I was a teenage mutant ninja turtle (Michelangelo - the orange one). I loved that programme when I was younger and he was always my favourite! I decided to make my own costume rather than buying an expensive one and I was pretty pleased with the result considering I'm not that great at sewing and I had to do it all my hand (I would love to have a sewing machine!).

Tights - Amazon

Glittery socks - Topshop /Cut-out boots - ebay

Method:

I based the costume on top of a pumpkin costume I already had and covered this in dark green material. Then I sewed on the yellow material for the tummy and stitched the pattern onto it using wool. For the shell on the back I stuffed the rim of a circular piece of material with scraps and sewed it up (like a pizza crust). Then I sewed that onto my back and stitched the pattern onto it in wool. My bandanna is just made out of a cut up orange vest.

I was really pleased with the whole night. I got to spend time with my flatmates who I'd hardly seen while I'd been on placement and two of my best friends form home came too which I loved! I was pleased that most people got into the spirit of fancy dress too!

Tom wore a 90's Middlesbrough footy top that he's had since he was a kid and somehow still fits him?

Mr motivator, Luigi, Princess Daisy, the toadstool guy, Baywatch

The only problem now is I don't know what to do for my 21st to beat this year's party!
