From in my old blue dungarees

Say a huge "welcome back" to the dungaree! Since designers such as Stella McCartney and Henry Holland sent dungarees down their Spring/Summer 2013 catwalks they have been selling in extraordinary numbers. The revival of this trend breathes an essence of rockability from the late 70s and early 80s, and I'm sure anyone who can remember those decades thought Ronnie Wood and Roger Daltrey looked hip in their faded denim.

Asos have claimed that dungarees are selling a storm. "All dungarees are performing well at Asos this season. From soft, tailored, jersey styles through to casual denims, we can't get enough of them," said Rachel Morgan, Asos womenswear's head of buying. Coincidently, the dungarees I am wearing in these pictures are available on Asos Marketplace by Captainslocker!!

Alexa Chung looks fab in her dungarees, paired with chunky heels and a delicate blouse to give it sweet femininity. 

I love how Selena Gomez has accessorized her dungaree with an oversized knitted scarf, which would be great on milder days!

Jameela Jamil shows that this trend can also be cute for nights out if paired with a smart blazer and sophicticated heels.

If you like the dungarees I am wearing in the pics then check out the Captainslocker website because they will be up for sale soon (:

You fit me better than my favourite sweater..

I love, love, love this outfit that I modeled for Captainslocker last weekend! This jumper is so soft and cosy, I would literally wear this all the time if I hadn't had to give it back today ): I think this outfit is cute now that we are finally getting some spring weather, as you can keep warm but don't look like you're braving arctic conditions!

I got the pork-pie hat from Topshop last week after much contemplation.. It was £25.. which I know is a lot for a hat but it looks very high quality and I am sure I will wear it on bad hair days aha!

Speaking of hair, I've gone a little darker! Let me know what you think (:

Won't you come see about me?

The 90's is EVERYWHERE at the moment! And particularly in fashion; with the return of this decade we have seen the comeback of velvet, neons, aztec patterns and the crop top! Crop tops are a major trend for spring 2013 and they have been spotted on the runway and the red carpet (see pictures below). However, some of you may feel a bit anxious about bearing so much skin. It is a common misconception that only slender figures can pull off the crop top! They can look great on a variety of figures. As I am quite tall, I can get away with the shorts and crop top combo, but if you have a more hour-glass or even pear-shaped figure, a skater skirt or an A-line skirt looks amazing with a crop top, and it can bring your waist right in, making you look slimmer! 

Aztec patterns and crop tops were combined on the runway at Mara Hoffman fashion show for a true 90's vibe.

One of the things I love most about the crop top trend is that there is so much variety; you can find crop tops that are very pretty and feminine and others that are cool and casual. So there is a crop top for everyone really, not matter what your style preferences! Vanessa Hudgens looks so beautiful and delicate in her girlish take on the crop top in this ensemble she is wearing by Katharine Kidd. This approach to wearing the crop top will look cute on those with hour-glass or pear-shaped figures.

Kristen Stewart screams successful power woman in her version of the crop top trend which was designed by Balenciaga. 

Queen of cool, Rihanna rocks a simple crop top from her own collection at River Island.

Slice my starry eye..

I am so in love with creepers right now. They have such a cool, uber 70s vibe! I already have two pairs but the ones I am wearing in these pictures were lent to me by Captainslocker. This pair are beautiful because they are so simple (and comfortable) yet look really edgy! Rita Ora and Rihanna have been spotted wearing creepers, and those two are the epitome of cool! The creepers I am wearing by Captainslocker are not on sale yet (as I have them hehe) but when they go on the website I am sure they will be much cheaper than the high street!

Check mate..

Afternoon beauties! I've just nipped to town to take some piccies of this retro jacket from Captainslocker. It's a really cool piece and it went so well with my red bag. I think this might be the sort of jacket a high-class Chelsea girl would wear! You can look at the jacket on the website here. It's currently £20.00 which is a really great price for a jacket!

Victorian secret..

Hello all! sorry it has been awhile: uni and placement have taken over my life at the moment! However, I wanted to take the time to share with you an amazing opportunity that I have encountered. 

A few weeks ago I was approached by a local vintage online clothing business about if I could do some work for them! Although I have always treated my blog as a hobby, I have always wanted to work with others enthusiastic about fashion and now this is my chance!!!

Captainslocker is a online vintage clothing business which was established in February 2012. While Captainslocker is fueled by a love for vintage clothing, 50% of the profits for the business go to charities such as the Air Ambulance service, the Arches Project and many, many more! It is such as good cause, as well as an excellent place for finding bargains! Your purchase will make a difference! So, now you may be seeing more of their items on my blog, including promotional codes and competitions! Exciting!! You can also visit their ASOS boutique here and the blog I will be managing here. This does not mean that I will be abandoning this blog as the ASOS blog will solely be about Captainslocker, whereas this blog will continue to be outfit posts, including items from the company. 

This dress is actually on sale on the ASOS boutique (£13.50) so if you adore it then I urge you to check it out as items are being snapped up fast! This dress is a must-have for vintage lovers as it is has a kitschy, victorian vibe. I paired it with socks, brogues and a bowler hat to make it even more charming. The material is lovely to wear with it being so soft and delicate. The dress originates from the 1970s but I genuinely thought it was from the early part of the 20th century. This shows that these kind of items do not go out of fashion, so they are definitely an investment. This can be said about most of the items featured on Captainslocker!
