Hi my name's Sara and I have a Minkpink addiction. I just cannot stop. I couldn't believe my luck though when I spotted this perfect white dress on ebay. It was everything I was looking for in a dress, the sleeves, the shape and the colour is perfect, so happy with it. Forget the LBD, it's all about the LWD, I want a wardrobe full this summer.

The lovely Kathryn sent over these super cute pieces from her jewellery brand Traditional Heart, (Thank you!) and I think they fit perfectly with this outfit. There's so many cute pieces on there and all at super affordable prices too, I've got my eye on THIS amazing cat bracelet next!

LIFE UPDATE: Internet is arriving...tomorrow! Thank goodness, I've been stealing internet left right and centre, and cannot cope with just my iphone to get online anymore.

THE EITHER OR DRESS AND A GIVEAWAY!

Dress: Charity Shop

Lace dress: ASOS

Boots: Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane

Bag: Present from Mum from Greece

This was an accidental outfit that turned out pretty well. I was having a panic about what to wear to the Ladybird Likes press day last week (more on that in another blog post later) and this just kind of happened, and I really like it! I pulled this out of the back of the wardrobe, having bought it in the depths of winter. And I had every intention of hacking it off into another too-short dress, then realised it had buttons all the way down, and this happened. It also looks great as a kimono type thing over some denim shorts and a crop top for festivals too. So glad I didn't cut it. What do you think? I might try this with more of my dresses now! It's now my 'either or dress' (yes I've just made that trend up) As it can be either long or short, obvs.

Anyway onto what you've all been waiting for from the clue in the blog title!
IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME. I've teamed up with the lovely Rebbeca from  Appliances Online to give you lovely readers the chance to win a massive £70 to spend at ASOS!

CROCHET AND KITTEN CUDDLES.

Crochet top: MinkPink c/o Out and About (buy HERE)

Floral dress: Vintage

Hat: H&M via Ebay.

Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

Kitten: Herschy

My little ball of fluff that goes by the name of Herschy is feeling MUCH better now, and is back to his normal naughty self. I literally cannot believe how fluffy and cute he looks in this picture! Not that he isn't always cute and fluffy of course. Anyway, how amazing is this crochet top that the absolute babes from Minkpink and Out and About sent me? Thank you so much! You all know how obsessed I am with Minkpink (and crochet) and I feel like this was made for me. 

When I got it I may, or may not have worn it three days in a row. It looks so awesome over all my vintage floral dresses, and is the perfect oversized boxy shape that I love. Definitely going to become a summer staple in my wardrobe. (Hey sun, where have you gone?) I'm still determined to wear no tights though, even though I have been getting some pretty funny looks up and down Kingsland road today! 

RAINBOW LACES

Crochet cardigan: Vintage

Backpack: Charity shop

Tartan skirt: Charity shop

Metallica tee: Vintage

Boot and rainbow laces: Ebay

Just a really quick one as I'm having to blog from my boyfriends office. Moving in is stressful, both boyfriend and cat are sick, sleeping on a mattress, no kettle, bin,sofas, room for clothes or internet. Fun times. I think I might be getting sick too, boo. Sorry for the moan. 

PATCHWORK AND LACE AND PLATFORMS.

Dress: Minkpink Sample sale

Shoes: ASOS

Lace top: Vintage

Just a quick post before I get the train back to London town and face reality again. I know the pattern on this dress and the lace are both quite busy I feel like they work well together. And I thought it looked quite cute with black socks and white sandals. These shoes are a dream so high yet so comfy and go with anything. 

Sorry for the Minkpink overload in these past few posts-I've been inbetween flats for two weeks now and my sample sale stuff was pretty much all I brought with me as I had to put all my clothes in storage (SOB).....However, the time has finally come to move into my new flat, and I'm so excited.  But I'll miss my family and home so much, since moving to London five years ago it's the longest I've spent at home since. A part of me just wants to stay at home forever sometimes, I don't know how I've got so old and grown up.  But I'm sure I'll be fine once I get back to London. I've got a ton of WAISTE related work to do anyway so the next few weeks will be super busy at least! Oh and not too mention all the unpacking....lot more fun than packing.

Annoyingly we have no internet at the new flat for two weeks so blogging will be...sporadic. 

MINKPINK/EVIL TWIN SAMPLE SALE HAUL

***SORRY PICTURE OVERLOAD***

 This is my room at home as I'm 'inbetween flats' at the moment so sorry for the makeshift rail!

 Hello Kitty umbrella not included-but how cute is it??

  Thanks mum for letting me use all your fancy coat hangers.

Amazing Rainbow lace bra <3 not sure if this made production as i've only seen the crop top and skirt version, but it's perfect!

 This was actually from the £5 box as it has a fault on it, I'm not sure where though, as I haven't found it yet. This dress I love A LOT. Total 60s vibe.

 Super cute printed trousers-I love these, perfect to just throw on with a crop top, and they are super high waisted which is great.

Just a cute crochet crop top, really simple (which hardly any of my clothes are) You can unbutton it at the back and it creates a lovely shape when it's on.

 Pink yin yang top with a cat on, I feel like this was made for me! <3

 My AMAZING matching set from the last post, one of my favourite buys.

 Awesome galaxy printed Evil Twin shirt dress-never seen this before? Been wearing it alot!

Super cute boho dress-there is a similar one on ASOS HERE which I very nearly bought, but glad I didn't now as I love the colours of this one more (and the price haha)

Usually I'm not really that a big fan of these sort of posts, I find them a bit...weird sometimes to be honest, I mean, I love seeing what people buy etc, and I love the sample sale/sale/carboot ones WAYYY more as it's always great to see what bargains you can get, etc. 

But I don't know....Some are a bit odd, I mean, I don't really want to watch a video of you unboxing some shoes? Thanks, but no thanks. Sorry. I just don't get that. 

Anyway, moving on... this will (probably) be my first and last type of post like this, unless there are more Sample sales! (PRAY FOR WILDFOX) And it was a little request from Sarah. Also because MinkPink is one of my favourite brands and I was so happy with what I got for the amount of money I paid.  Which was my train ticket money home. OOPS.

All these items are Minkpink, apart from one awesome Evil Twin dress from the Out and About showroom sample sale a few weeks ago. There were a few other amazing brands too such as Fairground, but my heart belongs to my fave rave Aussie brands Minkpink and Evil Twin. I'm now living in Minkpink and I love it. The lovely girls also gave me a great discount too so thank you so much! I'm SO SO HAPPY with everything I got, and can't wait for the next one. 

PS: I also got the white crochet bag in the pics, which I forgot to photograph on it's own. I now can't buy anything ever again, not that I need to at the moment.

MATCHY MATCHY.

 Top: MinkPink sample sale

Skirt: MinkPink sample sale

Crystal necklace: Tentative decisions

Hamsa Hand necklace: Primark (I changed the chain)

This is probably my favourite buy from the Minkpink sample sale at the Out and About showroom the other week!I was going to do my buys on this post, but I think it should have it's own! 

 I'm not sure if this is past season or current season, who cares, as the main thing is...it's matching! And...not only is it matching, it's a perfect fit! The worst is when trawling through vintage/charity shops to find any two piece sets and they are a size XXL and you have to spend ages tailoring it to fit (I never have time for my own DIY's there's a pile as big as me waiting to be sewn!)

Any excuse for the sun to come out for me to wear this. It did originally look awesome with my crescent moon necklace, but I lost it the other day (sob). This hand one is super cute though, can't believe it's Primark. And the sunglasss! Also, living in these cons at the mo, they go with everything. Can't wait to get my wardrobe back though, not long until I move now!
