Wearing Navy and Black Together

 When i was kid there were a few dress rules my mum endorsed. Blue and green should never be seen unless a colour in-between (apparently) and Black and Navy must not be worn together.
These days i love to mix any colours together and you know what? black and navy (and a little blue and white thrown in) work well together. That's what i love about fashion and personal style...screw the rules, wear what you want. (nb, my mum is a true convert, the other day i saw her wear purple and red...together..she totes gets it;)

I have to say, i am having the worst hair days lately, not just one day, nope i'm talking weeks long bad hair periods. I'm kinda in that annoying phase of not long, not short, the no-man's land of hair lengths. Im at that point where it needs a cut but i don't know, i kinda want long hair again..what to do, what to do...ponder ponder.

 Any suggestions?

I found these little blue shoes in my underbed shoe storage... i had totally forgot all about them since waaayyy last year! Then i proceeded to wear them and muddied up the whole front, typical huh! 

Poor blue shoes. 

And i'm pleased to welcome a spotty blouse back in to my life again too,

They are just so perfect for some remixing. I had one previously and proceeded to ruin it with a big splodge of foundation right on the front! Ruined!No satin remover could even touch it. So when this spotty blouse turned up i was relieved to have it back in the remixing game. The amount of times i reached for my spotty blouse to wear under sweaters or dresses, only to remember it was ruined, well, this makes alllll that better now.  All is now obviously right with the world once again. Heehee! :)

Anyway folks, enjoy the rest of your weekend/have a great start to your week! me and my muddied blue shoes and little granny-esque bun are off to make Spaghetti Bolognese (or spag bol if you will). Yummers!!

A bit of bling

If i were a rich girl (are you singing that gwen stefani style?) i would have a big mansion house with beautiful cosy window seats and i would wear pretty floaty dresses and gorgeous sparkly jewellery every day and read books and float around the mansion , haha! But the reality is, i live in a teeny tiny house, work most days and don't get much dazzle and glitz.

But having a little sparkle like this enchanting beauty bangle adds pizazz to any girls day. I was overwhelmed when this beautiful bangle arrived in the post. it is so so pretty. Perfect for special occasions, weddings or just prancing around the house like a princess ;-) I fully intend to add more sparkle to 2014. Because, rich princess or not, you only live once, and quite frankly... why not add beautiful pretty pieces like this bangle to the daily doings.

Happy weekend folks, how are you adding some sparkle to your Saturday?

Ps if you know any one who is getting married and looking for some vintage-esque wonderful stunning hair/jewellery pieces be sure to check out Glitzy Secrets,

Passion For Fashion Is Back!! (Link up!!)

 Welcome back to passion for fashion!! Yay! I am ready to be fully inspired by you all and can't wait to see what you've all be wearing and loving lately.
This post (if it wasn't titled Passion For Fashion ) should have been named Yet another Floral dress.. what can i say i have a complete weakness for a floral dress. I just can't help myself.

 I have to admit, when i wore this (which was Monday for school run and coffee with my pal) i did not realise how short this dress was! When i looked down it seemed longer. Only looking at these photos did i realise how short it was. Not indecent, but shorter than i normally go. But heck, you only live once and with thick tights on its all good.

Dress: New look (Sale)

Scarf & Bag: Matalan

This actual jacket: co sheinside 

Boots : Naturalizer via Lotus 

(PS i have been wearing these boots allll a/w and they are amazing. from the moment they graced my feet they have been the most comfy boots ever, just to let you know they are on mega sale! from £79 to £47.99! if you're looking for boots i can not recommend these enough!)

Currently Craving #1

Even though i am at the very beginning of my #100dayshoppingban (97 days to go, already sounding better than the big 100!) It doesn't mean i have stopped window shopping and swooning over some pretties. I will say in regards to the 100 day shopping ban, i am yet to establish if window shopping is like a slow torture i'm cruelly inflicting on myself ,or if its a good healthy habbit that shows actual self-control and is just a nice way of me keeping my finger on the pulse of the the old "fashion world"...mmmm will keep you posted on that one.
But anyway, here are my current cravings:

Wish List by rachel-the-hat featuring a sweater dress

1.I'm not crazy folks, i know i love clothes but i don't need two of the same piece. I just wanted to let you know that This aztec cardi is on super sale at the moment at $22 (about £13!!) its well worth the spend if you are like so many of the like minded style bloggers who have nabbed this. Go buy it, then we can all form some cool aztec cardi bloggers club and wear them all together.. or not ;)

2. I remember when French Connection did a similar dress to this and i loved it, but didn't buy it. This black and white beauty is a classic timeless dress, someone want to buy that for me?

3. I have a weakness for knitwear. Hello My name is Rachel and im a sweater-aholic. send help, or just the sweater. thanks.

4. i totally dig florals all year round, but this funky floral dress is like nothing i have, great isnt it? Incorporating my favourite blue colour too.

5. I die... yep i just died. the blush pink coat of my dreams exists. this sweet number is  $48.85 (approx £29!!) making it the cheapest and nicest pink coat i ever did see.

6. Spring is in the air. Not really, but with this spring like print i cant help but feel a little excited for the next season to hit us.

What are you currently craving?
