Vivienne Westwood buys

So the Monday just gone was my 23rd Birthday. Me and Mike went to Selfridges the Saturday before to make the most of the 20% off offer which they were doing. We went straight over to the Vivienne Westwood section where I picked up a beautiful clasp bag perfect for dinner dates and special occasions. I had wanted this bag for quite a while so it was the perfect opportunity to buy it, plus we had a gift card as well so it turned out to be quite the bargain.
After Selfridges we headed over to the Vivienne Westwood store on Conduit Street and I picked up this black t-shirt. It's very simple but is one of those pieces where I can pair up with anything. The placing of the orb in the centre is perfect as well. It's a great piece and fits perfectly.
Did anyone else make the most of the 10% and 20% off in Selfridges?

Dr Martens



I have always been a fan of Dr Martens, ever since I went through the whole 'grunge' phase at age 13, walking around thinking I was so 'misunderstood' in my baggy band hoody and jumping into mosh pits. It's strange how times have changed and how they are considered fashionable now in comparison to 8 years ago. Nevertheless they are amazing and despite having quite a high price tag, it is worth every penny because these boots last for YEARS! I am telling you, I'll be wearing these when I am 70 years old at this rate. I love them so much I have 4 pairs! Used to be 5 but I sold my dark purple metallic ones a few years back. I have a dark pink pair which I have worn to Japan and back (literally!), a limited edition Hello Kitty pair in white with blue soles and a red bow on the sides (Did I mention I have her tattooed to my wrist and that I am obsessed?), a standard black pair and my latest edition is a pair of baby pink ones which I picked up at a boot sale last week for £10. Very chuffed about that as I have been wanting some baby pink ones to replace my battered dark pink ones and now I have them and didn't have to shed out £60 yay! Happy days!

Bowler hat




I bought this bowler hat from Camden the other day. I have been searching high and low for a bowler hat that fits my large Blythe-like head, so when I stumbled across this one for only £10 I bought it without hesitation. It originally had a rather ugly corsage attached to it but the lovely girl in the shop replaced it with this cute polka dot ribbon which is more my style. H&M did a equally cute bowler hat for £7.99 with black ribbon but because I am slightly behind the times, they only had left over stock of size small and medium which was no good for me. Anyway, I am very happy with this purchase and will hopefully get some outfit shots of me wearing it at some point.

Witching hour

I wanted a pair of boots with a heel that would be suitable for everyday wear, so when I spotted these in Topshop I knew they would be perfect. They are very easy to walk in, but I worry that it will be hard to match with them with my clothes, so it would have been even better if they had come in black, but I still like the navy. I love the velvet texture and they have a very 'witchy' feel to them, which is great for the forthcoming autumn weather.
