OOTD 085 | BLACK & GOLD

CROP TOP - RIVER ISLAND | NECKLACE - DOROTHY PERKINS | SKIRT - NEW LOOK | FLATFORMS - ASOS | HANDBAG - H&M | 


I've found my new favourite crop top. This one is from River Island and has this kind of textured feel to it. It's fitted which I really like and has a high neckline - perfect with short necklaces like the one I wore today (Dorothy Perkins). 

Black, gold and khaki just looks so classic and put together no matter what the season. I absolutely LOVE these sunglasses, they're a rip off of the Prada baroque sunglasses, but you can find dupes on ebay, amazon and other small shops online. 

In the next few days I'll be selling SO MUCH stuff on ebay - all clothing! I probably have over 200 pieces, I know.. it's terrible. Plus a lot of it is brand new, or has only been worn a couple of times! Ranging from H&M, New Look, Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Dorothy Perkins, ASOS and more. I'll make a blog post about it once everything (more or less) is uploaded, plus tweeting on my twitter @thelittleantler

OOTD: 084 | LEOPARD & COLLAR TIPS

TSHIRT - PRIMARK | LEATHER JACKET - DESIGNER OUTLET | SKIRT - NEW LOOK | BAG - H&M | BROGUES - H&M | WATCH - OASIS @ ASOS

I love wearing leopard print with red and khaki, something about the colours just looks so right. My top is suuuper cute with the little white collar and gold tips. It's from Primark - but really doesn't look it! I remember last year I made an OOTD in the same top, but wore it with a grey high waisted skirt which was quite a school girly look, it's a really versatile piece! 

P.S Here are some paper illustrations I've been working on for uni, they're commenting on GM food and the potential impacts that companies hide from consumers. Feedback would be much appreciated! The rest of my work can be found at www.littlelemondesigns.co.uk

OOTD 083: ROLLER SKATES & FLORALS

Roller skating seemed much easier when I was seven. It's SO hard now!! I need my pads asap to feel secure enough to practice properly! I'm joining my local roller derby group - well the training classes first! Really excited but the girls made it looks so easy! And for anyone who's interested I've got the Riedell R3 skates from  Skate Hut, they're size UK 4 and really comfy. I'm usually a size 4/5 but went for a 4 as it's better for it to be a good fit rather than slightly big and at risk of falling off during skating. 

Onto the rest of my outfit, my cardigan is from New Look, t-shirt and skirt from Primark and necklace from Dorothy Perkins. I saw this same top on Essie from EssieButton and specifically went into Primark to try and find it.... Along the way I found this pretty little skirt, I couldn't not pick it up. There is also a cute sundress version of it in store too, if you like the print. I like wearing whites, mint green, sky blues and corals in S/S and even more so with pretty gold necklaces and rose gold watches. 

P.S! Does anyone have any tips or tricks of how they save money or time? I'm making an interactive illustration that's made up of illustrated things around the home, things such as using cotton wool to pick up tiny shards of glass, or alternative natural cleaners, etcetc. Thank you! :)

OOTD 082: PASTELS AND LEATHER

LEATHER JACKET - DESIGNER OUTLET | CARDIGAN - NEW LOOK | SKIRT - NEW LOOK | TIGHTS - DOROTHY PERKINS | NECKLACE - NEW LOOK | BROGUES - H&M | WATCH - OASIS @ ASOS

  I felt Spring inspired today, I love wearing pastel colours especially paired with my leather jacket and patent brogues. My necklace is from New Look and it's just these cute 3D triangle shapes with little silver beads on a chain, plus it goes really nicely with light colours.

- I just love his cute dopey face in this!

By the way, do you know how hard it is to make a malamute move out the way! Cole was literally obsessed with my lip balm and kept nudging it with his nose. Strange boy!
