Love our Love

The 21st Season has approached, so all my "1991" friends are throwing parties to celebrate, shame I missed it by a couple of months and have to wait till next year!! However what an excuse for plenty of party dresses to be bought. My friend Sarah had all the Girls round for a pre cocktail & champers party before heading to the most amazing location, known as the "caves" in Edinburgh!

I feel like I constantly go on about Topshop in this blog and should really divulge more into vintage and high street stores but I'm always drawn in!! The sale had been on for over a week, and I hate sales after the first few days as its normally dribs and drabs left and some companies continue bringing out old stock from years ago that you would have to be blind to buy! Never the less I had some time to kill before the train and spotted the "Love Fashion" Rail, I am in love with this little brand, and had to try a few of these on as they were dramatically reduced in Topshop. The outcome was two dresses:


Dress - Love @ Topshop, Belt - River Island, Shoes - Louboutin, Jewellery - H&M & Crystal Couture, Watch - Michael Kors


I picked the skater dress to wear to Sarah's 21st, originally £45 and reduced to £15 my mum would be proud of this steal!! The black mesh underskirt lifts the dress and gives it a more girly feel, I nipped in the waist with a black studded belt and team it with my Loubs, however they had to be swapped into my loyal JC's at around 11, as 5 hours in Louboutins is a killer, I salute Mrs Beckham for wearing them on a daily basis!!





Dress - Love @ Topshop, Belt - River Island, Jewelerry - Thomas Sabo, Pandora, H&M

Mint Green is my colour for summer, so at £15 I didn't even contemplate not buying it! As I know it a versatile piece and can be easily dressed up or down





The Gorgeous Birthday Girl, Serious Dress envy was going on, this amazing dress is from All Saints, Wedges - River Island, Yellow Bag - H&M
A trip to Edinburgh always means my fave hobby - shopping, although to be honest I do prefer Glasgow's shopping scene.. but Edinburgh's Maaaaassive Topshop beats any other Scottish store hands down!! My buy's in the Capital:


As you always get the best tan on your tummy, crop tops are a must to show off your sun kissed midriff and as It is only 1 week until I go on holiday I felt it was time to stock up!! meaning I did go about crop top shopper happy, but that is OK:

H&M Fashion Against Aid's Tribal Crop Top, I had to have.... makes me feel even better as 25% of all sales will go directly to a variety of international youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects!



Secondly I have already collected a few of the cute plain Topshop crops, as they are so easy to team with high waisted shorts and maxi's! This one was winking at me to purchase it...

As Rihanna and Rita Ora have been rockin Topshop's little bralet tops I foolishly bought the wrong size in the Peace one, these are tiny made so unless you are flat chested I would defo recommend going a size up ! So I went to exchange and the worst happened...they were all sold out :( Feeling sorry for myself I opted for two styles named the "All Over Skull" & "Belief" Cant wait to wear the skull with my pleated leather skirt, studded lita's and little bowler hat, love when an outfit comes together!!






H&M's Fashion against aid's shorts are the bestest, amazing designs and purse friendly prices, So I had to get both! Tie Dye - £15 and Aztec £20











I am so regretting not buying more from the Fashion Against Aid's range, as it's flying off the shelves and by the time I'm back to Glasgow or Edinburgh, bets are on that its all sold out and the website stock levels are on the low! I never learn....
