OOTD : Arctic Wolf

I've been a long-time fan of the awesome Raffles Bizarre and have been eyeing up the Arctic Wolf necklace for a while now. When I finally got my hands on one I couldn't wait to wear it. I really struggle to find jewellery that doesn't look ridiculous against my tattoos sometimes but the turquoise/blue combo of this necklace seemed made to sit between my chest tattoos. It's made from hard plastic, the design is an original illustration and it's varnished for extra durability. I love it! You can nab one here.

I wore it with a Motel dress that I've had for a while and have now decided to part with, so not only did it need one final outing but the colours really seemed to fit with what I was going for. I love this dress, I really do. Sadly, I've put weight on lately and it doesn't look as good as it used to, plus I'm always wary of being so close to 30 and still showing so much skin. I'll be in button-down blouses and maxi skirts from here on in ;)

I bagged the shoes in the New Look sale for £11!  They are super hard to walk in but surprisingly comfy once you're used to them. They're around 5" so make me rather a lot taller than my boyfriend which I don't think he's super keen on but I just couldn't resist them as I've got a real love for tan/camel coloured items, they seem to go with practically everything and can look a little classier than other colours.

OOTD : Going For Gold

Summer! We finally have Summer! It's been a mixed bag today, on the one hand who doesn't love looking out of the window and seeing their sunlit surroundings? On the other, by 'eck it's been hot!

I decided to put together an outfit around my Knuckleduster Wings Ring today. You can find them here. It took me years to come around to gold coloured jewellery, I was always a silver kinda girl, but these days I am all about GOLD! I think it makes more of a statement and although it's not as versatile as silver, can look great if you colour co-ordinate.

I comprised this look from some new items I've just bought. The leopard print body was £4 in the New Look sale and the black maxi skirt was £14.99, also from New Look. The tan gladiator sandals are a trusty pair that I've had for a couple years now, would you believe it, also from New Look. Although I wouldn't necessarily wear them out of the house, I just couldn't resist popping on my lace cat ears too!
