Studded shoes, studded heaven

Zara £39.99 I have these MQueen lookalikes myself, skulls switch it up from the standard studs

River Island £35, layer studs and print for extra detailing

£135 studded Hunter wellies, swoon...

Daisy Street shoes have alot of studded styles are really cheap prices, this scarlet slipper is £19.99!

Here are a few of my favourite studded shoes I have seen, an easy way to add an edge to any outfit. I love studded flats to add a hard edge to soft daytime casual. I have looked for some more unusual ideas to keep the look fresh going into autumn/winter.


Burberry esque Zara studded boots £79.99

Handbag handy lip balms...

Thought it was time to blog about my all time favourite product, Rosebud Salve Strawberry lip balm. American brand Rosebud are an American traditional brand and all of the packaging has a cool vintage Americana feel which really appeals to me. I use the strawberry lip balm, which is also great on cuticles and honestly is the best smelling strawberry cosmetic I have ever had...its like strawberry shortcake in a tin and the smell lasts in your lips and conditions them brilliantly.

There are several great lip balms in the range, I use the strawberry one in the gold tin. Love the kitch packaging!



Smiths Rosebud cosmetics, classic all American brand

You can buy Rosebud products from House of Fraser or Ebay which is usually slightly cheaper. I paid around £7.50 for my last tin on Ebay, it lasts really well and is well worth the money.

Peplum tops, vintage waist nipping fashion...

Nothing I like more than a vintage trend, ultra femanine peplum tops and dresses are back in a big way. Perfect for nipping you in at the waist like a 50's beauty. Here are a few of my best picks...


Zara have a stunning selection of peplum styles right now, lush lace suits this trend to a T.


Zara studded collar for a modern twist

River Island Playsuit, I love this retro beach feel...




ASOS, 80's style peplum for summer vintage...


Look at this original 1980's peplum jacket, amazing colour and cut. There are some gorgous 80's peplum pieces to be found, adding even more edge to the trend so get searching...
