OOTD & Wait & Braid | Galaxy Tie Dye Dress and 90s/Grungy Side Pony

What I'm Wearing: DRESS, Urban Outfitters | DENIM JACKET, ASOS | BEST BITCHES BEST FRIENDS NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child | LIPSTICK, MAC Diva.

Is anyone else obsessed with the 90's style? because I know I am! Recently, I have been trying out more hairstyles and I had to look for some inspiration. Youtube is always amazing for hair tutorials and I found some really gorgeous and unique 90's hair styles. Some of them are classic 90's (think little cute buns and half up-half down hairstyles) but other hair styles are a little more modern. This hairstyle that I'm wearing in this post is the perfect balance of mordern and 90's. It's an easy but impressive side pony! Because it's not just a side pony, I've done two little plaits in the pony tail. I think the braids really thicken the ponytail up and it looks so grungy and messy. This hair style that is definitely going to become a favourite. Look how cute it is too!

I think this dress is nineties too. It's velvet and tye dye. I'm wearing my all time favourite jacket too. Denim jackets are always a winner! I literally haven't been able to take this jacket off since buying it!

Do you love the 90's style?

Denim Jacket & Feather Crop Top

What I'm Wearing: DENIM JACKET, asos | CROP TOP, asos | CULOTTES, asos | BOOTS, River Island.

I literally couldn't remember when I last bought new clothes. I've been saving up for a few weeks and as Spring is coming up, we decided to start buying more clothes for the new season. The first thing that was on my wish list was a denim jacket. I'm so obsessed with denim jackets and it was time for a new one. Demin jackets are great for all year round and this one is from asos and it was £45. I think I will own this jacket for life and I will be wearing it all of the time!
I recently bought this crop top too from asos. I love it as it has a boho vibe about it. The feathers are unusal colours and I quite like that as I do want to start adding more colour into my wardrobe as the warmer months start coming up. These culottes were also from asos and I think they go perfect with this outfit.
Found these boots in the River Island sale just after Christmas and I was so happy. I've wanted these boots for months but I just didn't want to part with my money but as soon as they were in the sale I just had to buy them.

What have you bought for your Spring wardrobe?

Our Necklace and Choker Collection

Topshop yin yang choker | Black spinel Azendi necklace | Topshop flower choker | ASOS moon and stars necklace | Dimond Swarovski necklace.

I don't know about you but I think accessories complete every outfit. Right now, we're obsessed with necklaces/chokers and the latest one to my collection is the gorgeous dimond Swarovski necklace that I got for my 18th birthday. The diamond just sparkles and sparkles! The oldest necklace I have is the Azendi necklace which is the black spinel gemstone. I've had this necklace for six years and I wear it every single day.

I've recently discovered Topshop accessories and to say that I'm obsessed is an understatement. I love the flower choker as the strap is so chunky and so 90's! I also think Topshop jewerly is long lasting and doesn't rust - definitely worth the money! I'm so obsessed with little moons and stars. I'm even thinking of getting a star or moon tattooed on me. When I first saw this necklace on the ASOS website I just needed to buy it. I love the fact that it looks rusted as it looks vintage and I'm a vintagegal at heart.

The vin vang choker is probably one of my favourites along with the tattoo choker. I had some trouble with the yin yang choker though as it snapped when I first got it! I was so upset but my amazing dad sorted it out for me (thanks dad!) I was suprised that it snapped though as it was from Topshop so I thought it would be better quality. This little yin yang choker goes with every outfit I own and I love wearing it.

Do you love wearing necklaces or do you like wearing chokers?

Flatform Sandles

I love flatforms. My creepers are my all time fave shoes nowadays! but is there really anything better than flatform sandles? I don't think so! I chose these shoes for my birthday and to say that I love them is an understatement.

I just love how amazing these shoes look with my fashion tights but I also think they will make amazing shoes for all year round. I love the suede finish of the shoes and the ankle strap fastening with the cute buckle. These shoes where in the ASOS sale at only £29! I will checking the ASOS sale more often if I can find more bargains like this!

What do you think of Flatform Sandles?

Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

YSL Black Opium perfume | Wearing Urban Decay ammo palette (yes, eyeshadows make me happy!) | Me & Leah taking pictures haha | Leah's Birthday shoes from Topshop | More nail art | Heidi cuddles | My ASOS shoes for my birthday!

Hey, everyone! We hope you all had a great week :) This week started with our older sister coming home from holiday. She gave me and Leah YSL's Black Opium perfume as a present and I can honestly say this is one of my favourite perfumes ever! We've got a review coming up later this week on it.

We've been shopping for our new birthday shoes and the minute we saw Leah's shoes in Topshop, she knew she had to have them and can you blame her?! They're gorgeous! My shoes are from ASOS and I think they're going to be great to wear during the summer.

We're both so excited for next Thursday (22nd January) because we're seeing Slipknot and Korn in concert. They're two of our all time favourite bands ever so if we don't blog from Friday onwards it means we've died from fangirling too hard, haha! 

So this week has included many cuddles from Heidi, new shoes, more nail art and me and Leah messing around taking pictures :) How has your week been?
Love Rachel & Leah, x
