WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE YOU'RE MADE OF EVERYTHING I'M NOT IF YOU'RE 555 I'M 666



UNIF DAISY 666 CROPPED RAINBOW HALTERNECK: *DOLLS KILL - WHITE DENIM SHORTS: CHARITY SHOP - WHITE LACE KIMONO: *PRETTY LITTLE THING - PURPLE GLITTERY SOCKS: TOPSHOP - PLATFORM SANDALS: *DAISY STREET - POMPOM HEADBAND: *DIRTY DISCO - IRIDESCENT SUNGLASSES: *ACCESSORYO


When is it ever the correct time to title your blog post with lyrics from The Heretic Anthem by Slipknot? Well, probably when you're wearing a Unif daisy rainbow top with the numbers 666 emblazoned across it from the wonderful land of Dolls Kill. All of a sudden The Heretic Anthem instantly becomes extremely relevant! I'm so excited to be collaborating with Dolls Kill, they are literally my favourite online store. I love that 'normal' isn't a thing for them, or their 'normal' is actually completely crazy. Their clothes in-still confidence in me that I can still wear completely weird things and not feel bad about it!

I decided to pair the top with my pom pom head band from Dirty Disco which is now my new favourite headband, move over flower crowns!! And also my vintage denim shorts and PLT kimono which after this look is posted, is going into retirement as its too long for me (insert very sad face here) Its one of my favourite items of clothing and I've worn it many times, unlike a lot of the clothes I have which only emerge from my wardrobe once! Despite this I can only wear it with platforms and heels because of my mere 5ft 3 self, it always drags on the floor, so I figured its not entirely practical. I hope it shall go to a happier taller home where it will experience many outings where it doesn't drag on the floor!

THIS CAN'T BE REAL



KIMONO: AX PARIS - SUNFLOWER SHORTS: MOTEL ROCKS - SEQUIN EMBELLISHED VINTAGE WAISTCOAT: WEARECOW - ELECTRIC BLUE CREEPERS: REBEL CIRCUS - NECKLACE: LOST AT SEA JEWELLERY - VINTAGE SHIRT: WEARECOW - SUNGLASSES: WEARECOW
In a complete contrast to what I said in my previous wishlist post, here is an extremely autumn-y look with autumny colours! I wanted something that would go well with the kimono from AX Paris which is super pretty and the print is really vintagey, I thought it would go really well with my claw necklace from Lost At Sea which I've wanted for ages! Also with it being brown and everything that usually makes me think of vintage clothes so I decided to pair it with a few bits and bobs from WEARECOW who I am finally, after months of thinking 'Ahhh I need to go see COW' I am going to go to their head office to meet them all yay! I've only ever been to their Birmingham store so it will be super weird to go to a different shop as I'm used to the giant warehouse-shop in Digbeth. Hopefully I'll get to try on lots of amazing vintage clothes eheh I am very excited!!

Why is it suddenly so cold!! I have a feeling summer is officially over and now I'm struggling to leave the house without tights again, which would be ok if I hadn't gone off them slightly over the past year or so. I am determined to keep my wardrobe pretty and bright and summery during the autumn with all these rather out there non-brown clothes. I cant say that this year I'm enjoying the classic autumn colours, in the past I've loved wearing browns and muted reds during the autumn but all I want to wear right now is pastel, pink and white, with a little bit of black thrown in for good measure! Maybe in a few weeks I will reevaluate my autumn wardrobe decisions but right now I want to look look like a human rainbow!

SO TELL ME WHAT WOULD YOU SAY I'D SAY ITS TIME TOO LATE



RED GINGHAM TWO PIECE: PRETTY LITTLE THING TOP / SHORTS - PINK VINTAGE SHIRT - DIRTY DISCO - POMPOM HEADBAND: DIRTY DISCO - GLASSES: GLASSESSHOP.COM (use code GSKayla for 20% off) - PLATFORM SANDALS: VESSOS


Pretty Little Thing are definitely the place to go for gingham at the moment, I think its my favorite type of fabric at the moment, it reminds me of picnics and country kitchens and Cath Kidson. I now have two red gingham two pieces from PLT and if they brought out another, I would probably want that too! I never know what to wear it with because it stands out so much, in the other look I just paired it with some red socks and white shoes to tie it all together (you can see the look here). I didn't want this look to be the same as the last, so I thought I should add a few extra bits to jazz it up. To start with I really couldn't think of what I should pair it with, until the other day when I received this really cool package from Dirty Disco with this headband and vintage shirt and I thought they would both go super well with the two piece! Red and pink are one of my favourite colour combinations!! I think it makes it look super quirky!

AGENT PROVOCATEUR



SWIMSUIT: *AGENT PROVOCATEUR - VELVET RED TASSEL KIMONO: *PRETTY LITTLE THING - SUNGLASSES: VINTAGE/ CHARITY SHOP


Many months ago I attended the Agent Provocateur #APpoolside event at their Grosvenor Street boutique, it was so amazing and luxurious, I'd never been to a press day quite like it! We got to try on our favourite bikinis and swimsuits. Firstly I tried on the Berry Bikini (Top/ Bottoms) as I though it was really cute and quirky which I think suited me well, I really like quirky things, although that probably goes without saying! I almost ordered it, but the corseted swimsuit was continually at the back of my mind, so eventually I decided I should try it on. It was so difficult to get into because of how tiny it is, but when its on I think its sooo pretty! I love the way it feels because it pulls everything in and keeps it all in place! I hate feeling like any of my body parts are going on an adventure into the outside world. Even my boobs felt firmly in place despite the tiny little boob-boosting cups which makes them look like they're going to pop out. Ok I think thats wishful thinking, my boobs are too small to pop out of anything, but the model in the photo on the website has boobs which look like they could potentially pop out and having worn the swimsuit I can assume that she felt just as comfortable as I while wearing it!

I've been waiting for an excuse to wear the swimsuit for quite a while and finally, we went to the beach!! The sun was setting and it was still quite warm so I thought it would be the perfect time to take some photos! I also paired it with this super gorgeous velvet kimono from PLT. I wanted something a bit more luxurious than normal as velvet always gives me that feeling hence why I thought it would go really well with the swimsuit! I love how the photos turned out, it looks really pretty with the low sunlight, and I feel super special with this swimsuit on!!

DUMBO SOCKS



BLACK AND WHITE GRID PRINT COAT: *LILYLULU FASHION - LILAC/ PINK CRUSHED VELVET LEOTARD: CHARITY SHOP - PINK TROPICAL PRINT SHORTS: *ILWF - DISNEY DUMBO PRINT SOCKS: PRIMARK - WHITE PLATFORM SANDALS: *DAISY STREET


I was browsing in Primark on Wednesday and I spotted these Dumbo socks!! Dumbo was my favourite Disney film when I was little so I just had to get them. I'm not sure why Dumbo is one of my favourite films because its really sad and I probably wouldn't want to watch it now because I'd realise how sad it really is and then want to hide in bed all day, so the socks shall have to suffice. I felt very girly but clumpy yesterday so I decided to clumpify this rather girly outfit with my Daisy Street platforms and this duster coat from Lilylulu . I've been wearing it pretty much every day as it goes with everything, and its not too thick that I feel continually super warm and its not too thin that its freezing, as its been super cold over the past week! I've actually started making an autumn wishlist, I'm not used to this cold weather, I need warm clothes!!

JUST FIND A THING OF YOUR OWN AND STOP PRETENDING TO KNOW



FLORAL TOP: *LITTLE MISTRESS - VINTAGE LEVI SHORTS: WEARECOW - SILVER HOLOGRAPHIC PLATFORM SANDALS: *HEELBERRY

I'm still completely in love with this Little Mistress top! I wore it last in this look a while ago which includes the matching shorts! I think the top is my favourite piece as the shorts are a little big for me but I still think they look really cool together. The pattern is especially amazing! I thought I'd wear it with something quite simple as although normally I like to clash every pattern under the sun I feel like this top doesn't always need to have something extra with it.

Earlier today I went shopping with my Mom and we bought some makeup in Debenhams, I was going to write about it here but I've just moved it into a new post which I will post later with some photos as I've written a bit of an essay about my experience, who would think buying makeup would be such an experience haha! But its not something I usually do so I thought I would let you all know what it was like!

BETTER GET READY FOR ANOTHER SURPRISE AND IT MAY LEAVE A MARK



WHITE BODY/ SWIMSUIT: NICCE LONDON - BLUE TARTAN OVERSIZED JACKET: CHARITY SHOP - ACID WASH CUT OFF JEANS: PRETTY LITTLE THING - WHITE CLEATED SOLE PLATFORM SANDALS: PRETTY LITTLE THING - SUNGLASSES: WEARECOW


I just got back from VFest yesterday and I've slept but I still feel absolutely exhausted! I went with Amy Valentine and AX Paris and it was super fun but now I feel like I need to go back to sleep, but I have so much to do ahh!! This outfit is something I wore a few days ago, I'm so happy I finally found something to wear this giant tartan jacket with as its huge and makes most of my outfits look super unbalanced but I think it works really well here. I'm not usually the sort of person who wears things with logos on but I really liked this Nicce London body/ swimsuit, I think it reminded me a little bit of my vintage Morgan top, they both have a similar look and I really like how it looks on, despite the fact you can see my bra through it but I think thats part of the magic haha! I've never actually had a pair of acid wash jeans in my life and now I have these really cool almost-peddle pusher type acid wash jeans from Pretty Little Thing! I love that they're cut off just above the ankle, I need more jeans like this!!!
