Urban Outfitters Sun + Sky Lookbook






 I think the letters that best describe the noise I made when I first stumbled across this lookbook was 'urrrhhhaaa.' Offically obsessed!!!
I´ve been looking for clothes like these for YEARS. Two years and eleven months to be exact, which was when I saw Vanessa Hudgens at the 2011 Coachella festival in that outfit. That crochet flower top and cut off shorts had me scouring the internet for days for similar tops and now, finally, nearly 3 months later, I´ve found not only the Vanessa top I´ve been dreaming about, but other incredible crochet and festival/beach inspired pieces. Take a look at my favourites...
Sorry the prices are in dollars, I´m doing this from Ecuador!

The crochet top similar to Vanessas ($39)

 
1. Bucket bag $68
2. Off the shoulder romper $69
3. Crochet tank top $69
4. Halter bikini $69
5. Loose white dress $89
6. Cuff bracelets $58 
7. Turquoise ring $18

beach beach beach

Sunglasses - Wildfox 
Dress - Thrift shop
Shoes - Ebay
Green ring - Costa Rican market
Other silver rings - H&M

Finally a chance to wear my jelly shoes! To the beach, bringing back memories of being a small child. Was so happy to find these on ebay really cheap and even happier when I found this dress the other day.
I was doing my usual round of the same old tourist tat shops by the beach, you know what I mean, the same things in every country. Beaded bracelets, wall hangings, standard homemade jewelery was everywhere when I decided to walk down a street away from the beach and I came accross a thrift shop! There were loads of lush bargains in there and I came away with some flared pattered trousers and this dress which is actually a night top! 
It's really silky and a size XL and I just about get away with it being an extra short dress! Very comfy silky fabric too. 
My ring is also something I got from a local Costa Rican market. Such. A. Sucker. For. Rings. Must stop buying...
