Sorry for being MIA over the last week, things have been a little busy & with Ollie away shooting festivals for most of the summer it’s been kinda awkward to get any outfit photos taken. I’m considering getting myself a smaller DSLR for times like this, so I can still get things up, especially now I’m starting to get to grips with the super old one I was leant to learn with & actually started to quite enjoy using!

The weather currently can’t make up it’s mind about whether it’s summer or not, I went out in the morning wearing this with tights & the jacket, and was actually cold, but come mid-afternoon it was so warm I had to take them both off! I’m not complaining though, it’s nice to be able to finally get a little wear out of this new version of my cropped jacket, as I was too scared to wear it out until we’d shot the product images of it for the store – I’m the clumsiest person in the world, so I knew it had to stay in storage until I’d done everything I needed it for first! This new version has been tweaked a little from the older one that you’ve seen here before, with softer more slouchy leather, a refined collar shape & super soft viscose lining.

A while ago I mentioned Kasun & their latest ‘God Loves Fangs’ collection in one of my coveted brand posts, I finally got to see the pieces up close at the Thor & Wistle store party a few weeks ago & I can honestly say the pieces are even more stunning in person. The vampire heart necklace was my favourite piece from the lookbook, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it! The little dagger set with onyx is removable & can be worn dangling down or pierced through the heart, I love pieces which can be worn multiple ways & of course, I’m a huge vampire fan and there’s a real appeal to subtly wearing these little nods to your interests for other to pick up on.

I’ve been trying hard to avoid the sales this last week. I still have saving up to do & I’m trying to be less impulsive with my buys too, no matter how cheap they are. I always find sale season & the urgency of it all makes me pounce on things which then sit in my wardrobe unworn, tags still attached, never to be touched again. Trying to dodge those coercive emails is another story though & a little window shopping never hurt anyone! These are a few of the things that have caught my eye, I’m telling myself that if I still want them after a week or so, and they’re still available, then I’m allowed to treat myself to a few.

Those perspex heel boots from Miista are at the top of the list at the moment, you guys know I have a thing for black ankle boots & I love how they’ve managed to make the perspex heel look elegant & luxe, instead of just a bit cheap like you’d usually expect. Plus, no one could tell me ‘they look just like all your other pairs!’ with these! The chiffon shirt is high up there too, though I don’t really like having my stomach on show, so I’m thinking of styling options to justify getting it. Maybe a high-waisted skirt layered underneath, with a sliver of skin peeking though?

One of my favourite ways to add a bit of ‘colour’ to my usual all black is subtly with a really great metallic piece, I love that they blend in but add a real punch at the same time too. These silver snake print trousers have already been ordered, they were just too cheap to pass up! I love snake print, I love metallics & I love that it looks like the kind of foil print that will gradually wear off & look even better. I’m just hoping they fit well when they arrive though, you know how tricky jeans can be & there’s nothing worse than a badly fitting pair.
