Hey beautiful people!

I finally got my Minkpink elephant dress dupe in the post and it couldn't have come at a better time, been feeling really blue these past few days, so many things are happening at once (at home) and i think the stress is kind of draining me, so this little beauty cheered me up a little! It's still pretty humid so i tucked the 'cut-out' sleeved in the arm hole to make it a sleeveless dress so it took that extra fabric away that you really don't want when it's hot!

ELEPHANT LOVE <3

I hope you're all having a lovely day!

Oh Ebay...my sweet sweet Ebay! How much i love you! I would happily just shop on Ebay forever you can literally find anything! Some of these piece i can't purchase because the biggest size they have is a UK8, and that is just no good for the bigger breasted ladies of this world, but i thought i'd include them in this months Ebay finds incase it helps someone else! So here it is folks! Hope you like the pieces

Woke to the fog all around us, The boom of summer time| Outfit Post

Hey Lovelys!

My god, it's scorchio isn't it!? Things are a bit crazy at home at the minute, so i'm glad i got the time to do a little outfit post!

I do apologise for the amount of Primark in this outfit, i hate it when this happens, but sometimes it just turns out like that! I got this primark beauty of a dress a couple of days ago (bear in mind i'm wearing it backwards- I preferred the 'shirt button down' feel that it gives the dress) The Print and colours are gorgeous and perfect for summer!

Also just a note, if you notice a little fish on my wrist, it's a tribute to the beautiful Talia from taliajoy18, who sadly lost her battle with cancer this week. The fish is for 'a little fish project' which is little project to show our love and support by drawing a little fish on your wrist and posting it on instagram.

The world has lost and brave and beautiful girl who taught so many of us to just keep swimming and have a positive outlook on life! Thank you Talia, Rest in peace beautiful girl

Trends| The Elephant Print.

Considering elephants are one of my top favourite animals ever, i couldn't be more smitten with

this Elephant print trend that is circulating at the moment!

I think my love of elephants stemmed from a video me and my sister had that included Elma the Elephant! It was one of our favourites and we watched so much i think we wore the video out it also contained nelly the elephant <3

Here he is in all his glory!

My lovely papa used to go away a lot when i was little to different countries for work, two of them being thailand and africa. He always used to bring me and my sister back little presents mostly hand my jewellery from the markets. Most of the pieces i still have today seem to have elephants on them!

So, as so many beautiful 'elephant' pieces are making there way into the High street shops, i decided to have a little scan around and pick out some of my favourites!
