Outfit Of The Day: Tribal Turquoise

This dress is one of my favourite summer buys and it was only £5 on sale from Primark! It matches perfectly with my Rebecca Minkoff MAC and I even did my nails to match it for the weekend!

I have been a fan of Rebecca Minkoff bags since 2008 when I saw a picture of Vanessa Hudgens carrying a gorgeous wine Matinee, which I  now have in my collection (see her here and here). My gorgeous turquoise MAC made her first blog appearance here and I can't get enough of her! I posted a picture to my Instagram (spark1988) on Sunday when I wore this outfit and woke up on Monday morning to see that Rebecca Minkoff herself had shared my picture with all her followers and that it had received over 3800 likes. I was shocked that my little picture had received that many likes normally 3 likes would be a big deal for me!

J Crew VS ILY Couture Pave Link Bracelet

This J Crew classic pave link bracelet has been on my lust list for a while and I'm sure you've seen it on all of your favourite bloggers time and time again! It retails for $125 so isn't in everyone's budget!

While this look for less certainly isn't cheap it still will save your wallet a few dollars. The ILY Couture pave bracelet retails at just $72 saving you $53 to save for something else on your lust list!

It's been a busy week at work, so I don't have many pictures t share from during the week but in 3 weeks time I am off to Disneyland Paris for a long weekend! I haven't been in 4 years so I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends again!

Recent Vintage Purchases

This past weekend was like a treasure hunt for adults! I went to a different  vintage fair on each day and both of them were filled to the brim with antiques, sparkle and clothing galore! I saw so many pieces I loved but I was very restrained and only purchased pieces I fell head over heels for!


This turquoise and cream crochet duchess set was one of the first things I found buried under  a lot of plain cream and white lace ones! I'm not sure where I am going to use these yet but I'll find them a home!



This pink coat was my favourite find of the weekend! I had been in love with a similar one from Zara and was waiting for it to go on sale but when it did it was no where to be found! This coat jumped out from the rails and looks almost new! It was from the 50's/60's and I can't help but feel a little bit like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde when I put this on! It's perfect for over dresses and when it gets colder I'll be throwing it on over jeans!


On Sunday there were even more rails, chests and stands to hunt throw but after finding my coat nothing seemed quite as fabulous to me! I did come home with some sparkles to add to the collection!
