I wasn't actually planning on taking photos today so excuse my messy hair! Wearing two of my latest purchases, the floral Kimono and the wine jersey maxi skirt. I'm soo happy I bought them because I was a bit unsure at the time. Really loving maxi skirts at the moment for day & night wear, so easy to throw on & pretend like you've made an effort.

I'm a big fan of mixing prints & patterns together. For me stripes & leopard print go with almost anything. What do you think about mixing patterns?

Just had to share my happiness about finally winning the bidding on a Moschino belt today, I'm a very happy girl!

Kimono - Primark / Penneys
Stripe Top - H&M
Belt - Vintage
Maxi Skirt - River Island
Converse - Office
Watch - Turkish Market
Bracelet - Stolen from my boyfriend
