Obsessed: CRAZY CAT LADY!

I admit it, I love cats. I've always grown up with the fuzzy creatures and it makes me happy to find all these kitschy cat print clothes everywhere at the moment :)

Here is a picture of my lilac Burmese kitty, Mimi, who took a shine to my cat bag that I got in a Matalan goody bag at the Carat blog event in Manchester, N'awww!
Are you a self-confessed crazy cat lady/man?

Outfit Of The Day: DYEING WITH DYLON

Me being a goon and splashing in the puddles!

Tee-DIY
Shorts-DIY
Sunglasses-Betsey Johnson via TKMaxx
Wellies-Hunter (stolen off mum!)

One thing I love about living back home is the gorgeous scenery around the village. So whilst the sun has been shining we decided to make the most of it and go for a long walk, complete with splashing in puddles and eating ice cream :)
 Previously me and my neighbour Stace had decided to have a DIY day and customise clothes that we no longer wore! First up was the levis jeans, my mum had bought them off eBay as full length jeans but they didn't fit her (they are apparently a size 16 which is LIES!) so I cut them off and decided to dip dye them in Dylon Flamingo Pink dye, they frayed really well in the wash and I'm so happy the way they have turned out!

The New York Yankees top was actually my brothers (he doesn't know I've stolen it shhh) but it had several holes so I decided to cut it into an oversized crop top and throw it in the left over dye, Its kinda patchy but I think it works!
So this outfit was essentially free :)
Stace made an amazing bleached jumper & the bright orange skinny jeans pictured below ...
Pretty woodland
Amazing ice cream, I got thunder & lightening which was yummy :)

DIY essentials 
Shorts in the dyeing process
Pretty pink and blue!
I really love dyeing my own clothes, it really can completely change a boring item of clothing into something more on trend and wearable.
Have you dyed any items of clothing before?
Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the day: BACK IN BLACK

So I finally got around to doing an outfit post for you guys! The weather in the Lake District has been shockingly bad, and whilst the rest of the country sizzles we've got yet more rain here-boo!
These photos were taken by my talented six year old sister! She wants to be a photographer/artist when she grows up (n'aww) When I was six I think my career choices were ballerina or princess!
Leather Jacket: River Island
Lightning Tee-ASOS
Snakeskin leggings-eBay
Boots-Clarks
Sunglasses-Betsey Johnson via TKmaxx

Most of this outfit is old, apart from the ASOS tee that I got last week in the sale. I *accidentally* ordered £254 worth of sale clothes but I ended up sending most of it back as they were all funny sizes or just didn't suit me, which tends to be the case with ASOS, it's very hit and miss. Anyway I love this t-shirt. It's a size 8 but its incredibly over-sized. I feel very Vince Noir with the lightning bolts and the chelsea boots!
I bought these leggings for a shoot and decided to keep them for myself. At first I thought they were super tacky but I'm actually in love with them now. I bought them from this seller and they have other designs too.

I don't really have anything too interesting to report, I've spent most of my time job searching & sorting through all my belongings-boriing!
I spent the Weekend in Sheffield at Tramlines festival which was brilliant but I'll save that for my next post :)

Did you get any sale bargains recently? Does anyone know of any fashiony jobs in Manchester? I swear I've exhausted the job search tools ha!
Thanks for reading :)
