Style inspo- ripped

Ripped jeans are no longer a thing of the past and seems to be the spring/summer staple. Although, I have to admit spending £50+ on a pair of jeans which are barely there is a bit pricey but, you can rip your own jeans (I have found a method that works for me, when ripping jeans). 

 



 
I'm loving the rolled up jeans and converse as I have just rediscovered my not so white converse that are the most comfortable thing to wear in hot weather. Seeing everyone wearing ripped jeans at the moment with either pool slip ons or barely there heels, makes me feel they can be dressed up classy or very relaxed. It really does inspire me to rock my rips, a bit different to what I usually wear. Also feeling the need to buy myself a white pair of ripped jeans or to do another diy jeans but with a white pair. 

 

 
Lets not forget ripped shorts (or Kylie Jenner!)x I am guilty for owning a pair of these beauties from urban outfitters. Although, the topshop ones look extremely tempting also! I really like the casual loose barely cropped tees with these shorts, and since my mum has just purchased an over locker I might try my hand at making some! 

I'm hoping to warm up a bit to my camera so I can post a few outfit of the days in my ripped jeans! Hope this post has either inspired you to buy (sorry!) or to diy some of your own jeans or shorts!

Another little haul...

With a new job comes with new clothes, or is that just me? Or at least for me it comes with a little haul! At the moment I just can't help myself with spending, it's getting ridiculous. A few weeks a go I went to Nottingham on a day off from college and fell into American Apparel, and then the same happened after work, stumbling into H&M. So I thought if share with you, what I have bought; 
All of these were not supposed to happen... Although I haven't worn the blue mesh top it was only £9.00 and will look great thrown over a bralet when it's hot enough (it's warming up!). The black and white top, is the baby rib crop top in the print 'Winnie', this is from a collection with a designer who has collaborated with AA which is £19.00. Lastly, these very high waisted shorts were bought offline, I was a bit skeptical getting them as I had heard mixed reviews on the sizing, luckily they actually fit me! 

These very strapy sandal heels come from new look, I purchased them from the sale for £7.00 which I thought was a bargain although I haven't worn them yet for fear of uncomfy new shoe blisters.  

 
These two bralet a we're purchased after work, I bought the black one to do a little diy (which I have already done), as I went to topshop and bought a gorgeous lace bralet only to take it home and be disappointed as it was coming apart. The grey one is like the knitted bralet from American apparel although, it's a jersey material and not an excruciating £34.00! Both of these bralets are £1.99 which I couldn't resist them for! I also bought a black chiffon kimono which is quite oversized as I bought a Large so it draped nicely which I forgot to photograph, however I'll be sure to feature it in a post soon! Many thanks H&M! 

Hope you enjoyed another little haul and hopefully I will start doing some outfit of the days soon!
