DIY | Personalising My Denim Jacket

I've always wanted to do this! I bought all of the patches of Ebay and my mum sewed them on for me Thanks bae!) It was time consuming but it's turned out more than perfect I think.I was getting bored of my plain jacket and I don't even know where the idea came from but I just wanted to personalise it. Because I love music, I decided to just buy a load of band patches. So far I have a Korn, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Fear Factory, Slipknot, Pearl Jam and Marilyn Manson patch. I can just see myself doing this is almost all of my clothes, haha. Watch this space as I'll probably add alot more to this jacket!

Would you personalise your clothes with patches?

Disposable Teens | OOTD Post!

WHAT I'M WEARING: TOP, Ebay, SKIRT, River Island, CROCHET JACKET, New Look, BOOTS, Ebay.

I love this top as much as I love Marilyn Manson which is quite a lot! I love the back of the t-shirt too because of the way it has Marilyn's name on it. You can't beat a good band t-shirt and at the moment, they are all I've been buying. Ebay sell the best band merch but no doubt I'll be getting another Manson shirt when I see him in concert in November! I love this top though because it's so spooky, look at that eyeball of his. I love his lipstick too - it actually looks like my Cyber lipstick from MAC!

Boots, Boots, BOOTS. Look at them, They are just unreal and I am so in love with them. They are my dream boots because they are so goth. What do you think? I never want to take them off. I even wear them on the odd sunny day and my legs get so hot in them but you have to suffer for fashion, right?!

Do you love wearing band shirts?

Topshop Wishlist | Fringe

All items are from Topshop.

I still don't know if it's summer or not because we only get the odd day of sun, haha. It's really sunny today though and it inspired me to create another wishlist of dreamy clothes from Topshop. I just think Topshop is so amazing right now. There is a lot of fringing this summer and as you can see, I'm a fan. I think fringing adds so much to an outfit. The outfit that is on the wishlist today is one of my favourites! I just think the lace halterneck top is so beautiful and goes so well with the whole outfit. The star necklace is a really nice touch too. I'm loving the fringe purple backpack too as it's a nice bit of colour and who doesn't love cute little backpacks? I fell in love with these two pair of shoes! So cute and amazing and I think they'll look good with every outfit! I've actually got a skirt like the one above but you can never have too many skirts and look how cute the detail is!

Are any of these clothes on your Topshop wishlist this summer?

Don't Piss Me Off | Outfit of the Day

WHAT I'M WEARING: TOP vintage, SHORTS Missguided, SHOES New Look.

I had to do an outfit post on this top because I think it's so funny. My mum hates this top because she doesn't like me wearing swear words on my clothes but I love it! It says ''Don't piss me off. I'm running out of places to hide the bodies.'' Genius. I bought this from some shop that I don't know the name of. It's quite an alternative shop and there were a load of other t-shirts similar to this one. I bought this top and another one that said ''I am calm, now fuck off'' - my mum hates that top even more than she hates this one haha! Sorry if all this swearing offends you. 
These shorts are my fave pair at the moment! You can't see them all that much because I love wearing my tops in extra large and oversized. I used to feel dead uncomfortable wearing such short shorts but now I don't really care. I'm real shy but if I want to wear something, I will! My shoes are from New look and they are so lovely! I love wearing them when I'm not wearing my boots. They are quite chunky shoes - what's not to love? & of course, I'm wearing my fishnet tights because I just can't not wear them. 

Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

What's in my bag?

I bought this bag last week online in the sale from New Look after spotting it in the shop. The minute I saw it, I fell in love with it! It's so cute and I've always wanted a little backpack like this! I think this goes with almost all of my outfits too! The fact that this one is silver metallic is just so dreamy! Weird fact: I like to give my bags names and I've named this backpack spaceboy after one of my favourite Smashing Pumpkins songs ;)

So what exactly is in my bag? Let's find out...
I make sure that I always take my phone and my purse in my bag as they're essentials.This is one of my all time favourite purses and I got it a few years ago from River Island.
Next up, I have my Kindle and my Marilyn Monroe compact. I only bought the kindle last week as I'm such a book worm now! I can't believe I used to live life without a Kindle.
I always make sure I carry my lipsticks with me as I cannot live without lipstick. I always have a MAC lipstick with me. I don't usually wear lipgloss but I just bought this one today. Rimmel's lasting concealer is always in my bag. It's my favourite ever concealer and I recommend it to everyone!
The lastest addition to my bag is this Narciso Rodriquez perfume. This is my all time favourite perfume ever! I'm no good at describing perfumes so go give it a sniff! It stays on for hours and it just smells so beautiful!

What do you all have in your bags this summer?

Suede Lace Up Shorts

WHAT I'M WEARING - top, NEW LOOK, shorts, MISSGUIDED, Shoes & Choker, RIVER ISLAND.

Hello everyone! Both me and Leah have missed doing our blog so much. After a short break, we are both so happy to be posting again. Honestly, our lives felt empty without blogging! I thought I'd do a quick outfit post (in our blogging break, an excessive amount of clothes have been purchased). This outfit has got to be one of the coolest outfits I've ever worn. Look at those shorts! I think they were made for me, I love them so much! The detail on them is dreamy.

I absolutely love New Look at the moment. This top I'm wearing is just a classic black bardot top! It instantly makes me feel like I've got a good, fashionable outfit on if I'm wearing this top.

Here is to many more posts, I'm so happy to be back!
Love Rachel, x

Dreamy Topshop Outfit Wish List


Left to Right: Metallic Crop Top | Feather Heels | Cropped Lace Fringe Kimono | Necklace | Earrings | Fishnet Tights | Black Denim Skirt | Black Frilly Ankle Socks | Metallic Backpack.

It feels like I haven't done a wish list for agesss! I was on the Topshop website and managed to find my dream outfit. The weather in Liverpool is quite sunny which is a change (que rain for tomorrow ha) so I'm looking for new bits and pieces for my spring/summer wardrobe. I think fishnet tights are just perfect for warmer weather. I love wearing all of my fashion tights right now! I love pairing fishnets with boots but how cute are the feather heels?! I need these heels in my life. I think the have a clueless vibe to them. I also think the black denim skirt has a clueless feel to it too. I love denim, especially black denim so this skirt is a must-have for me. The metallic backpack is so cute and what I love about backpacks is that it feels like you're not carrying a bag, haha. The metallic crop top goes perfectly. One of my favourite pieces for spring/summer is kimonos! This short black kimono is just gorgeous. Lace + fringing = heaven.

The accessories just make this outfit. I'm obsessed with moons and anything mystic really so when I saw these earrings I just fell in love with them. I'm also obsessed with frilly black ankle socks. They're just the cutest things and the look gorgeous with boots. I needed to include the star necklace as I bought this necklace a few weeks back and I haven't stopped wearing it since! I know I wear a lot of black and as summer is getting nearer I do want to start wearing more colour but for now, I think I'll just stick to my trusty black clothes. Adding metallic is a start though right?

Have you thought of your spring/summer wardrobe yet? Are you dreaming after anything from Topshop at the moment?

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?

Grunge Gal At Heart

What I'm Wearing: DRESS & SLIP, Missguided | BOOTS, River Island | COSMIC CHOKER, Shop Moon Child | BEST BITCHES BEST FRIENDS NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child | LIPSTICK, MAC Diva.

Introducing the newest addition to my Summer wardrobe, the cutest floral dress from Missguided! I think this is going to be one of my most worn items of clothing in Summer because it's so light and comfortable to wear. Another reason I really love this dress is because I can really style it up with fishnets, black boots and loads of necklaces. Little dresses like these are perfect for the grunge style. I used to be obsessed with grunge music! I used to listen to Hole - Courtney Love's band - and used to dream of owning all the babydoll dresses in the world. Complete with boots, red lipstick and messy hair of course! I'm not into listening to Hole anymore and more into Slipknot, Alice in Chains (my fave), Korn and all that stuff. However, a girl can't forget her roots can she? Oh, that's another thing I have perfected for this style; my roots are really long now and I hate them but I suppose I can embrace my dark hair roots for this grunge style! I can't wait to get my hair dyed soon though.

My two of my necklaces are from the AMAZING Shop Moon Child. We've already done a review on their shop, which you can read here (x) . Me and Rachel recently bought the Best Bitches best friend necklaces! Oh my God, amazing. Rachel obviously has the other necklace because we're the bestest of friends. You know friendship is real when you have Best Bitches necklaces.

Do you love the Grunge style?

Hello April

WHAT I'M WEARING: Blouse, Forever 21 | SKIRT, Boohoo | SHOES, River Island | CHOKER, River Island | BRACELET, Shop Moon Child.

I've kind of missed ootd posts on our blog. It's been so hard to take pictures as the weather is awful right now but I just love this outfit and had to do a post on it despite the rain. I'm wearing one of my favourite blouses from Forever 21. It's my favourite colour and so different to everything else that I own. It's nice to start wearing a bit more colour as the summer is coming up. I decided to treat myself to some boots and found these beauties in the River Island sale along with the thick black choker. These boots are honestly the best boots ever and look so perfect with all of my outfits. River Island do the best sales ever as my boots and the choker only cost £18, can you believe it?! 

I tried to take some pictures of my hair as it's purple right now. It's kind of washed out but I'm still loving putting bright colours through my hair. I'm also obsessed wearing my hair in 90's inspired styles so stay tuned for some posts on them!

Love Leah, x

Black and Pink!

WHAT I'M WEARING - GILET, boo hoo, PLAYSUIT, river island, SHOES, river island.

This is my first ever outfit post with pink hair and doesn't the pink look so much nicer against the all black outfit? I love wearing black but sometimes it could look a bit boring with plain old blonde hair. I'm going to dye my hair lavender next time but I'm willing to try any colour! I'm quite daring with my hair now, haha! Anyway, I love wearing my gilet from Boo Hoo and it's literally been my comfort blanket through Winter! It helps that it looks really stylish and goes with all my clothes too. The playsuit is a sparkly number that I got from River Island and I really should wear it more! This outfit has good memories seeing as I wore it to see Slipknot and Korn in January!

As always, I paired my  all black outfit with some good old necklaces that I couldn't be without. Does anyone else feel weird without their jewellery on? I feel like my outfit is incomplete without my rings/necklaces. My shoes are my favourite creepers. The most comfortable shoes EVER? I think so!

Have a nice day everyone,

The Playsuit And The Gilet

What I'm Wearing: PLAYSUIT, River Island | FAUX FUR GILET, River Island | BOOTS, River Island

I've been pretty obsessed with wearing gilets since October last year. The minute I saw this gilet on the River Island website, I just needed to have it in my life! I love everything about this as I don't usually wear white but I love how the brown fur mixes in with the white. This gilet is also the warmest thing I own and it's actually pretty heavy to wear, haha. It was £65 but I can't complain as I can see myself wearing this for years!
My playsuit is from River Island too and I couldn't believe I found this in the sale! The playsuit is everything that I love in life, velvet and lace and it was only £15! The detail is just beautiful. The pearl buttons are a beautiful touch and the lace sleeve detail is just my style! I think this gilet and the playsuit make the perfect combination! I'm also wearing my favourite boots. You literally wouldn't think I had about 10,000 other shoes underneath my bed!

Do you love wearing playsuits?
Love, Rachel x

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?
