Notting Hill Carnival Bitchessss

Last Friday I finished my internship so what better way to celebrate then get back to London for the Notting hill Carnival. I went with my Oxford gal pals and had an amazeballs time!

First things first, this is what I wore….

- Black Maxi Dress - Love at Topshop - 

- Converse -

- Denim Jacket - Topshop - 

-  Zebra belt - River Island - 

We all went to the carnival for my friends 21st and she wanted us to dress in 1960s hippie style for the day. I don't think I really adhered to the spec but YOLO. The amount of Levi cut offs we saw was crayy, even though I proudly own a pair and rave about them on this all the time, its no fun when everyone else is wearing the same thing as you and I'm getting pretty bored of seeing arse cheek from shorts everywhere I look. 

My gal pals <3

I was gutted because we actually missed the floats…I think we must of gotten distracted in a pub or something…. Eek. Anyway...after a few hours in the pub we wandered around and found a music stage and got on it.

We were mega lucky with the weather, it was boiling all day! I really wishes I'd have gone back on the Monday, deffo making it into an annual thing.  Did any of you go to carnival?

In other news I mentioned I have finished my internship and am now a free laaddddy of leisuuuuree! LOL JK, Im working to get some dollar bills before unayyy. I'm going to do a post about my internship when in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled and watch this space!

Lots of Love Lexie x x x

Summah summah timeee

So summer is here (fingers crossed this beautiful weather stays!) and so is the need to for a new wardrobe (you can't expect a girl to wear the same thing twice!!!).

Despite promising myself to try and avoid pastels (don't think my skin tone goes with them) I have fallen into the trap set up by the collections of designers such as Mulberry SS12, Louis Vuitton SS12 and Meadham Kirchoff SS12 and had to stop myself from purchasing BABY PINK VANS the other day! Get some self respect Lexie, you can't walk around like that!

Anyway here is what the damage looks like...1....2....3... GO:

Top: Underwear as outerwear,- floral body- Topshop

Necklace: Pink pendant- Miss Selfridge 

Shorts- Levis vintage 

Socks- Primark 

Belt- Primark 

Shoes- Converse 

Bargains:

Topshop have some hot and dangerous pieces of jewellery in at the moment but NEWSFLASH we're not all made of money and the really nice stuff can be quite pricey, especially for a lowly student like me, even with student discount :(.  I was surprised to be able to snap the below pieces up for a lot cheaper than the RRP on eBay.

Although eBay can be criticised for being a bit time consuming I think if you've really fallen in love with a piece of clothing its worth spending a bit more time searching for it on eBay.  Its also such a great way to make a bit of extra money by selling unwanted items from your own wardrobe.

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and looking a beautiful shade of gold!
