Sequins and Animal Print

Happy Bank Holiday Peeps!

I was feeling very 70s summery on bank holiday easter Monday so I wore this original 70s sequin maxi dress for a day seeing family. I wore some animal print shoes to match my patent Dune bag and a vintage black bow in my hair :)

BRIGHT BLUE VERSACE & 80S RARA-ING!

This bright and punky outfit was a tad on the adventurous side for a leisurely Saturday around the shops, but nevermind hey, its always nice to be different! The outfit consists of this stunning vintage black rara dress, which can be worn as a long fishtail skirt or a dress- so versatile, and I paid only £2 for it! Anywho, I popped it over this sheer versace top, which was £18 in Elite dress agency in Manchester. I accessorised with this funky blue belt to match and some 80's style blue eyeshadow. Topping it all off with these A-Mazing vintage patent stilletos, which are from Paris! Considering I love this outfit and its bright and fun, I look tres miserable- again! doh. Leesa, you must remember to smile....

PRETTY DISTURBIA DIP DYE MINI DRESS & KNEE SOCKS!

I hope you all had a fine and dandy weekend! I had such a lovely restful one- except for getting addicted to season 1 of Dexter, which I nearly watch all of in one day!... Its mighty good, if you've not yet seen it!
Anywho, I wore this on Friday for relaxed day in the office. It consists of some grey marl leggings and my black cut out shoulder top, which I've had since I was about 12! I popped on over it this Pretty Disturbia dip dye stripe mini dress- £32.99, with some silver knee socks and comfy black wedge boots. I accessorised simply with my silver bangle, a black sequin ring ( £5 from the MFN sample sale) ad a studded, black leather belt- 50p on a car boot sale, with a touch of rouge on my lips and nails- so it was'nt all drab grey and black like the weather in Manchester that day!....doh.

MOODY MARE FACE, WITH A PERFUME TEE & TUTU!

Now, Don't I look a moody mare in this picture! Unfortunately, this is my normal expression- which constantly makes builders to "cheer up love" and "it might never happen!" So with this moody mush, I have worn this lovely pale pink perfume tee (which was 50p on a car booty!)  and teamed it with this black sequined tutu, which was £5 in the closing down sale at Bay Trading. My floral leggings were £8 from Primark and I wore my beige cheep-but-mucho-comfortable boots which were just £3 new and boxed- on a car boot sale!
I accessorised with a black watch, real silver bangle from Turkey, My marcasite, chunky silver ring and a lovely silver and black vintage necklace.... I'm definitely going to try and smile more on these post pics, as unhappy moody faces, are just not very "Manchester!" methinks.

BRIGHT BLUE, RELIGION & A BAG FROM THE POUNDSHOP!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend? Mine was great, if not a tad quirky too! I discovered a hidden face in a Bullitt poster of Steve McQueens hair which freaked me out...had motion sickness from going on a boat and yesterday I smashed some nail varnishes in my new corner bath which has ruined it! doh....
Other than that it was mucho fun!
I wore this on Saturday evening for my friends birthday do in Common, in Manchester. It consists of this great Religion dress which was £20 in a Manchester Fashion Network sample Sale, teamed with this vintage belt, a bag from the pound shop- (which is amazing!!) and my much loved Carvella boots which were £350...but I got them as a 30th birthday present! I opted for 80s style make up with rouge lips and bright blue eyeshadow to match my dress! ;) 

BROWN, LACE, TUTUS & A TOUCH OF VINTAGE!

Happy Weekend eve all! I hope your enjoy this fine, bright Thursday afternoon! 
I wore this lil outfit yesterday for a day of meetings, a night out at The Olive Press in Manchester and a quick drink in the Vine Pub to finish it off, then drinks back at mine until 1am!... And on a School night too! tut-tut. 
The outfit consists of this gorgeous lace polo top from Ebay, over a simple M&S brown strappy vest. I wore some soft brown leggings with this little designer tutu over the top, which was just £4 on a car boot sale. I wore my beige flat boots for comfort and popped on a vintage red belt, which was £1 in a charity shop to match my red lippy and break up the all in one brown look!....

VINTAGE CARDYS, PIGTAILS AND A BADLY LIT HALLWAY!

So.....What do you think of my new, badly lit hallway? Not great is it! The fact we don't even have carpet yet does'nt help, and the fact that when we do get it carpeted- its going to be black is even worse! 
I actually think it will work okay for taking the photos when we have good lighting and maybe a white rug to show of the footwear- I know how many of you hated the black rug I used to use! 
Anywho, The outfit consists of this amazing vintage cardigan, which I picked up from a Charity shop in Harrogate for just £4.05- (Why the 5p more- I'll never know!)


Anywho, I teamed it with some classic navy topshop leggings, some vintage denim hotpants and a classic low neck white tee. I popped on some comfy flat pumps to finish it off nicely! I actually wen't to a meeting dressed like this and was asked if had met them on my day off??! Mental note- dont wear denim shorts when meeting important accountancy people. ;)

TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW!

Well, its a new start in many ways for me this month. Not only have I moved house, but I have also moved office too! Which therefore means I have decided to freshen the look of the blog accordingly- as I have a new hallway to take pictures in, and a new office in which to write about them! The only problem is I'm a big fan of black walls and dim lighting which does'nt work too well for photographing outfits! doh...

O well, I will try a few variations of locations and see what you guys think! Be honest ;) 

Bye-Bye old Hallway and... Hello new fresh blog style! xx

BIKER JACKETS, COWBOY BOOTS & A HEADBAND!

Sadly, this is going to be one of my last blog posts on this layout, due to moving to a new fancy pants apartment- I now have a new hall way to take pics in!

So, anywho- I wore this last week when It rained down hard in Manchester!

It consists of a some classic grey marl leggings, teamed with this lovely backless dress which was £2 on ebay. It was quite a long length so I shortened the hem! The belt is also part of the dress. I accessorised with a vintage diamante brooch and a pink, animal print headscarf, with my much loved biker style jacket which I bought from Morgan, many moons ago when I used to work there. I finished off the look with my worn and tatty, leather cowboy boots and of course an umbrella! ;)

SEXY MONOCHROME LAYERS!

Thursday already huh! Well, I hope your weeks going well so far? I've had a fun time unpacking boxes of late (due to my recent house move), which seems an endless job and I still can't find my most loved possession which is my Armani bag! Arrrgggghhh. grrr and booo.

Anywho, I wore this the other day, which consists of a simple black hook and eye fastening pencil skirt which was 50p on a car boot sale, teamed with a bustier trompe l'oeil tee from Peacocks, with a black shrug from the market and a classic white short sleeve vintage jacket which was a present.

I popped on some classic black boots and red lippy to finish it off and add a hint of colour to the monochrome ensemble.

And... before you mention it, I know the rug looks crappy and hides my footwear! I'm changing my layout very soon so this little hallway won't be featured any longer, and nor will my hideous rug! ;)

ECLECTIC VINTAGE & BABY PINK!

I have only just finished work- crazy huh. So, this is officialy the latest blog post I've done to date- thus probably the worst!

Anywho, I wore this last Friday for a day of meetings and to meet friends for a drink late on. It ended with some sangria which made a pleasant change! I did however miss the last Johnathan Ross episode ( which is probably a good thing as I'm so sad its ended!)

So... the outfit consists of this Morgan baby pink pencil skirt I've had years, with a long vintage shirt from Rags to Bitches, which was £10. I teamed it with a chunky white leather belt and some tan cowboy boots to finish it off- eclectic style!

RELIGION, DIP DYE & SALE BARGAINS!

I hope your all having a fine and dandy day? I got up mucho early today to try and get ahead of my work load so I've not done too bad! I'm off to Lounge Ten tonight for tea, so wanted to make sure I caught up before swanning off when I do, ideally need to work late!....eek.

Anywho, I wore this yesterday and was still freezing cold! I'm not sure whether its because I'm tired or it did actually feel like Winter in good ol' Manchester?? Anyway, the outfit is made of some black tights and a long sleeve black top which I've had years. I popped on my dip dye striped Pretty Disturbia skirt £39.99 with my Ant dip dye matching top (which is now in the sale for just £12.99!) I added some vintage white beads, my vintage patent boots and my much loved Grey, Religion jacket- £80 from The General Store to finish it off! ....Have a lovely evening peeps! x

HATED JEANS & BOOB TUBES FOR CLEANING!

Okay, I'm tres naughty, not having blogged until last friday but I have just bought a new apartment which is in mucho need of work and TLC!

So, As a rule, I don't do jeans. 1. everyone wears them. 2. everyone wears them too much, 3. There just not comfy to wear and 4. I look weird in denim.

But, in order to clean my little flat on my hands and knees on Saturday I had to donn these Next ones which I've had about 10 years! I popped on a boob tube from ASOS, headscarf to match and some Primark pointy flats to add a touch of glamour, accessorising with some very heavy and unpractical drop earrings from Mikey and my classic gold and black Versace belt because, even when I'm cleaning I want to feel glamorous.

Safe to say after tip runs and a day of cleaning in the hot sunshine, I did not look at all glamorous at the end of the day and happily ditched the jeans for a pencil skirt as soon as I could!

DIP DYE, MARL & CROSSHATCH HALTER NECKS!

Happy Friday peeps! I hope you all have a nice weekend planned! Mine starts with a trip to the theatre tonight and then a Birthday night out and christening too! Another busy fun filled one!....

Anywho, I wore this yesterday for a day in the office and drinks with friends. It consists of a punky hatch cross top from Pilot- which I got from Ebay, teamed with a Pretty Disturbia (best seller) dip dye skirt £39.99, marl leggings and much loved Kurt Geiger boots!

Now, off to dash for a quick glass of vino with live music, to welcome in the weekend and watch a play at the Royal Exchange (not too shabby!).... ;0

20p DRESSES & HAND DYED SHRUGS!

Well, I was all up for Ballet last night but the class was cancelled so I was forced to go out in Manchester instead! Starting with drinks at La Mars, onto Thomas for Dinner and ending up in Apotheca! A great time was had, even though It was'nt whilst wearing ballet slippers!

I wore, my Pretty Disturbia floral print leggings- £21.99 with this amazing 80s vintage tassle dress which was just 20p (Yes- just 20p!!!!) on a car boot sale with a shrug that I dyed plum myself. I popped on some long black freedom earrings from Topshop and my tan leather boots to accessorize for an eclectic colour combo.

Now, what shall I wear to see Darren Brown tonight?...I go out far too much these days!...

RED BANDANA'S & POINTY SHOULDERS!

Well I've not blogged for quite some time as I've been tres busy on a hen do in Croatia, a week in Centre Parks and doing a London to Brighton Mini car run! I'm glad to finally be back home now and ready to work hard after far too many months partying and having fun!...

SOOOOOoooo, This is what I wore yesterday on my way back from Brighton which is all about layers and shape!

I started the outfit with a black polo neck from Ebay, and leggings from Primark with the Pretty Disturbia blue ribbons vest £24.99, a gathered black puff ball skirt from Primark, with a pointy unusual shoulder jacket from New Look which was £25. I added a bulesque style head scarf and some Tiffanys silver Jewellery to accessorise, with my comfy slip on shoes for comfort! Ta da.....

BACK TO BLACK & ANIMAL PRINT!

Last night I wore this little black outfit to my Dads 60th Birthday meal! You know your truly old when your dad gets a free bus pass... doh.

Anywho, I wore this gorgeous Pencil skirt which I've had years from Jane Norman, teamed with a black vest from Morgan (£19.99- bought back in the day!) with my fave, funky Morgan leather look jacket (which was £80.00)

I accessorised with a few touches of animal print- in the form of this vintage belt which was just 20p on a car boot sale- talk about cheap! I added this simple vintage brown neck scarf, some pointy animal print boots from Office and this DKNY bag which I heart... and of course a little touch of red on the lips and nails! ;)

CAMEO TEES, FUR TRIMS AND FLORALS!

I hope you all had a tres fabulous and restful Easter? Mine was indeed chocolatey and fun filled, starting with the Pretty Disturbia Launch night last Thursday and ending last night with 2 fun sessions at the Chill Factor! It's amazing what fun you can pack into just 4 days off...

It consists of the Pretty Disturbia cameo style t-shirt in marshmellow £27.99 with a cardigan from Warehouse which I bought for just £3 from a charity shop in Manchester, I teamed it with this little rouched skirt from Primark for £14.99 and some Pretty Disturbia blurred floral print leggings £21.99, accessorising with some high shine knee boots and a chunky silver necklace, red nail varnish and lippy to match a la 50's style!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND STYLE DRIPS & STRIPES!

I'm feeling a tad worse for wear today after going out with friends last night and drinking far too much vino... doh. We had a great night though in The Oyster bar and Corbieres. Its nice to go out mid week to feel totally young and naughty, Just not nice waking up the next morning with a killer hangover, looking ten years older....

Yesterday, I wore this black long sleeve top from Kookai years ago, (which makes me wonder if Kookai is still in business anymore, as I've not seen a shop in a while?)...

I teamed it with plain black leggings, some kitsch little boots which I was given, a Pretty Disturbia pre-production sample skirt, and this new Pretty Disturbia Drips logo ribbon t-shirt £25.99, with a simple black belt to accessorise and blue eyeshadow to match.

Now, I think its time for some fattening Macdonalds to help my little tum feel oh so better...

MATCHING BLURRED FLORALS & PIGTAILS!

Well, A happy weekend eve to you all! I'm so very glad it's Thursday and the end of the week is near, I swear this is an extra long week! Last night, I was supposed to go to Ballet but worked late again and missed it... How very dissapointing! O well, that's what you get for having your own business.

Anywho, I wore this little outfit yesterday, which consists of a blue polo neck, Pretty Disturbia, blurred floral crop top £27.99 with a black Tutu from Bay Trading- (just £10 in the closing down sale), and some matching Pretty Disturbia, blurred floral print leggings, £21.99. I popped on my over the knee black boots and my D&G Watch, and viola.

I am however, pondering, if at the age of 30, I can still get away with pigtails. Maybe if I have to ask, the answer should be no Leesa, you can't......
