GUEST POST: The lovely Lo

Hi friends of Rachel! My name is Laura (or better known as Lo) from the style and life blog Deliciously Yours. My blog is my place to share about my love of vintage and vintage-inspired fashion, and a little bit of my every day life in Toronto Canada.

This outfit was something that I threw together for work. This tee and romper are probably two of my most worn summer items, as they are both comfy and versatile. Never in a million years did I think that I would own (or even love) something that had a camouflage print on it, but I seriously love this top. I can pair it with so many things, and it's actually a pretty neat pattern. This romper is from my first online shopping experience ever, AND my first Dear Creatures purchase (of which I am now addicted). This outfit could be pretty casual, but I threw on my Grandmother's pearls, a belt, and little wedge sandals to make it more office appropriate!

And if you're curious how I did my hair, check out my tutorial How To: Dairy Maid Braids

I hope that you will come and visit me over at Deliciously Yours! I have some exciting things in store for August, and you won't want to miss out! 

xoxo Lo

Mulling over Mullets

Hiya Lovelies

Well, thanks so much for all your kind words on my last post, that shall be named the disastrous week. But i have to tell you, all your lovely thoughts and positivity must have been sent my way as the shop called me today and told me they had found my phone under some of the fixtures and fittings!!! What are the odds of that???!! I feel so lucky.I went to the shop, got my phone and nearly kissed that lady!! i looked at all the photos (and started to take them all off to save!!) and realised what i had lost and how unbelievably lucky i am to have it back. There were lots of lessons learnt though, and i'm a firm believer of two things, 1. Law of attraction and 2. Everything happens for a reason! The world is a strange and marvellous place huh! 







Cardi,Skirt and Top: Clothing at Tesco on major sale!
Necklace: Half price at Boots
Shoes and bag: New Look

I have needed a nice comfy pair of black shoes for ages. I was delighted when i stumbled upon these when getting a Starbucks which is actually in New look!(lethal i tell ya) It was shoe heaven. They are really comfy! And in return for buying these babies i gave 4 pairs to charity. Good shoe karma i like to think!
And the mullet skirt, jurys still out on this one for me at the moment. It was only £5 so gave it ago, but just not sure, they seem a bit weird to me. It feels fancy pants and maybe im just not a fancy pants type girl ;)
Well thank you again lovelies for stopping by. Have yourselves a cracking day xxx

GUEST POST: The Lovely Sian





Hi there everyone! I'm Sian from Rebel Angel and I'm guest posting for the lovely Rachel today! I was super excited when she asked me to guest post for her as I adore her blog and colourful outfits, I just hope I can reach her outfit standards on here =) You can get a little of my usual style from this post – this is almost my typical type of outfit: pretty dress, cardigan, tights....but the shoes are something altogether different. I'm not exactly a 'trainers' type of girl – I of course owned the Converse typical of my generation and wore them with my skinny jeans, but my heart just wasn't in it, and I was glad when kitten heels came in to fashion so I could wear baby pink ones with bows on!
But I spotted these shoes when out shopping with my sister recently and just had to have them. I've seen a few bloggers sporting trainer-esque shoes with dresses and shorts recently and loved the change, so I had to try it out myself. Then how can you go wrong with the little extra height these provide?! Plus, they're super comfortable =D


ardigan: Zara (sale)
Dress: Zara (sale)
Shoes: River Island
Of course, when you're wearing shoes with that Creeper platform style you have to do that typical blogger pose – it's mandatory XD
Anyway, the dress is very typical me – lace, pretty shape, low back. It's also something I bought on that same day out shopping when I noticed that Zara had a sale on, and the cardigan is from Zara's sale nearly two years ago now!
I hope you've enjoyed my post and seeing a little bit of what goes on over at my . Don't forget to pop over and say hi, I don't bite!! Here's my Blog
