August inspiration

(All photos gathered from Tumblr and Pinterest )

Pretty self explanatory, these are the images inspiring my daily fashion over this month!

The diamond trend will be big this Autumn and is already hitting the high street.

Out of sight, out of mind...

I was casually doing my weekly browse on Topshop's 'New in this week' and saw this dress on the first page. I was quite pleased when clearing out my wardrobe to come across my very similar version.

I wore it for a night out when i was about eighteen and its been shoved at the back of my wardrobe ever since.

Being a penniless student has made me really appreciate my old clothes,

It just shows that we shouldn't chuck and sell everything after wearing it once because a few years down the line it feels like a brand new dress ! Out of sight out of mind ;)

Another good tip for appreciating your old rags and creating space in your wardrobe, do a seasonal bin bag.

Sounds very strange but its something my mum has always made me do since i was young.

As soon as spring hits and it feels unacceptable to wear your thermals, store them in a bin bag in the loft, and grab your bag of bikinis, summer dresses and hot pants!

When you get your old things out and have a rummage you get that 'ahh i forgot i had this' moment and find a sincere appreciation for not chucking things away and buying a whole new wardrobe.

If you haven't been on Oasap's website yet then you defiantly need to. They have beautiful on trend clothes which are unique and different from the high street. They have free international shipping as well which is such a bonus! To go on their website click the link or the banner <.

I love this dress i got from there. It looks like a top and skirt but its a dress. Its easy to wear and looks cool. I'm in love with the strapless fold over neckline. I've never worn a garment with this and i love it. I think it shows off the collar bone beautifully and the long black sleeves are very slimming. The pink pleats bring a very cute feminine vibe to the outfit which fits my style perfectly.

I styled the black and pink dress with lots of gold. I know a lot of people have this necklace from H&M but you have to admit its pretty cool.

My hair and make-up follows the theme, my sister Lizzie did that. She loves trying things out on me.

I hope you've all been living it up in this BEAUT weather. As you know I'm very happy when the suns out :). Getting my tan on. Its also such a social buzz.

Lots of love,

Emily
