Thrifty Outfit of The Day - Monday 7th June

This outfit was a rush job! I was super late for leaving the house and had tried on a ridiculous amount of outfits, have you ever had one of those days? 

Anyway I spotted this skirt, which I knew needed tights, looking out my window the early morning clouds suggested shit weather ahead, obviously you can see not so much by the time Nick came to meet me! 

Well I'm not mad, I  like this outfit, its kinda cute! Yay me! ha ha

So I found this skirt for 99p, Yup NINETY-NINE PENCE! There is a great Barnardos 

shop just by Meadow Bank retail park and all clothes are 99p! Its always good for for a rummage. I made the mistake last year of not buying a long fur coat for 99p because it was warm outside and I didn't have a bag, rookie mistake Emma, rookie mistake!

The jumper is from Oxfam in Stockbridge, it's Jaeger and it was only £4!

 My shoes I found in the sale whilst doing my grocery shop in Tesco hahaa picked them up for £6, not bad! I finished off with accessorising with my favourite hat , which I bought in a charity shop in Stockbridge for £12.99.

I then went on to overheat that day, but god damn I looked good doing it haha

Label Lusting - Lavish Alice

This month I'm label checking 'Lavish Alice'
Popping up more and more, you will find this brand on their own site as well as ASOS , Very and Studio and also stocking to a few select stores nationwide. This label is at the forefront of  fashion but without the high price tag. Lavish Alice is breath of fresh air from the usual online fashion stores. They work on the premise that they give back to there fans. If your not following them on instagram, you really should. They are big on social media and release a lot of their news through it, Exclusive invites and even sending out an occasional freebie to their followers as well as doing collaborations with bloggers. (Pick me, Pick me!!)
Not only are their designs pretty on point, their prices are too. Affordable fashion, this something that I can get on board with.

Dreamingless Magazine - Candy Boss

Well I could just pee my pants! 
We made it to Dreamingless Magazine.

Novembers theme was the 'Barbie - Oh So Pink Issue'
The location chosen was House of an Art lover in Glasgow, and what a gorgeous setting. I arrived very late! A little mixed up and a confused taxi cab man aside, I was in awe of the grounds as we pulled up. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend time looking around, but I am for sure going to go back.
The shot to the left was my ultimate favourite, but to be honest it was tough to choose out of all the amazing images (There was lots!) 
Collectively we whittled them down to 20 and submitted to Dreamingless and we were accepted!

Thanks for the opportunity to work with all the lovely talented people on this shoot and I hope to work with you all again very soon!
