Vanessa Hudgens Coachella 2014

I´ve posted about Vanessa´s outfits at the Coachella festivals before and I have a feeling I won´t be stopping anytime soon as she continues to knock it out of the park in my opinion. Best. Festival. Dresser. Ever.

Here is my favourite look she wore this year.

The next few days will be spent finding a copy cat of this dress! 

Ecuador finds!

Ecuador was full of good quality leather goods and I knew I had to get a rucksack the second I arrived and saw them absolutely everywhere. Not only are they having a fashion moment in the UK, (Cara´s Mulberry bags are to die for!) I thought it would also be a great souvenir for me to remember Ecuador buy, as well as being practical!

Woven shoes are something else I had been seeing all over the UK high street stores websites and I felt they were a great alternative to flip flops! 

Here are some similar backpacks and woven shoes I´ve found.

Get the look - Ecuador!

It would be silly of me to be posting exactly the same as if I was still in England and not take advantage of all the culture and inspiration around me that I will most likely never experience again. So today my style crush is the country I´m currently in - Ecuador! 

The Ecuadorians womens traditional dress is closest to the Inca clothing than any other area of the Andes. Lashings of gold and beads are layered over loose blouses and shawls.

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

Is there anything wrong with printed trousers?

Is there anything wrong with printed trousers?

They can be worn casual or smart, in winter and in summer, to a special occasion or just shopping. They look good in any colour, material, print and on any body type, but most importantly, they´re so comfy!! 

Drool over these with me if you will...

A new kind of sandal

Spring/Summer has hit the stores and usually this would incur longing and whining about the long wait for summer and the summer clothes it brings with it. But luckily theres a summer trend that we can rock now. Thanks to the 90s revival currently happening, socks and sandals, the ultimate fashion sin, has now become a fashion WIN (please excuse me).

Socks and sandals go well with any outfit and can turn a blah look into a wow look. Plain dresses, shorts and a tee can instantly be transformed into a really cool outfit. Choose black fishnet socks if you really want to stand out! Here our some of my favourite picks of the highstreet currently available!

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...
