ModCloth - Poolside Babe.

In a small competition-type challenge I was sent an image from one of my all time favourite websites, Modcloth. I was then asked to complete a look to go with it using other items from their website. 

The image sent out was this gorgeous polka dot 2-piece (also available in plus sizes!), I love the halter neck and the hi-waist.

To complete the look I channeled a retro Hollywood starlet pool-side look and here are the rest of my picks:  

Lime Crime Lipstick in Retrofuturist.
A glamorous deep-red to pop-off the retro look.

Little Women Tote Bag.
You can fit in all your beach/pool needs into this tote whilst showing off one of the most classic vintage books!

Wedge Espadrilles.
These nautical beauties are perfect for the strut to and from a lounger.

Hollywood Sunglasses.
No paperazzi please ;)

Ink or Swim Towel.
Cute little tattoos for an ultimate pin-up sunbathing time.

Watermelon Pool FloatThis is amazing! Imagine hoping on this and floating about the pool or sea.
Still looking fabulous without getting soaked.

Watermelon FanThe sweetest accessory for keeping cool and remaining beautiful.

What do you think of my look? Can you see this gorgeous future pin-up basking in the sun?
Even if I don't win I had such a blast browsing and finding the best pieces!

Things I Loved This Week.

Hey!

So I was thinking maybe I'd make this "Things I Loved This Week" post a regular thing, like do it on a Sunday/Monday and kinda recap on the week past? What do you think? WELL anyway here is this weeks:

The first 3 minutes of True Blood season 4 are HERE. I can't even begin to explain my excitement to have True Blood (and that sexy werewolf) back on our screens! If you have never seen it I urge you to go watch season 1, I'm not into all that vampire junk but this is pure amazing!

Aw super cute clock from ModCloth! If anybody knows how to get hold of one of these in the UK hit me up!

Anchor Print chiffon tea-dress by Dahlia. It's too gorgeous and looks like it fits like a dream!

Animal print dress by Dahlia. I am in love with the contrasting hem poking out. Basically hit up ASOS and search Dahlia they have amazing dresses!

Jacquard Rug - Urban Outfitters. UO have had a bad week but I love this simple, rustic looking rug - I want it!

Mother of pearl necklace - Forever21. Super cute! I love long necklaces with something BIG at the end.

A few links I have loved this week:

• Justin Timberlake + Lady Gaga in a Lonley-Island 3-way on the SNL season finale (if you can try and watch all the JT episodes they are AMAZING!).
• Louise Parr - amazing illustrations and designs (I want them to be wallpaper!) 
• Shameless plug - I'm selling loads of stuff on ebay!
• And another one - Don't forget to enter my Sigma Brush giveaway!

I hope you all had a great bank holiday weekend!

Homeware Wishlist.

Super quick post as I'm off out for dinner! Been ill and/or working but tomorrow is my day off so will prep some outfit posts :)

I must have been living under a rock 'cus I had NEVER been on ModCloth.com until a few days ago, anyway I was checking out their 'Apartment' section and basically fell in love with everything! Shame shipping costs loads to the UK :(

As I've said before hopefully in the next couple of months (if I can EVER get a job) I will be moving out, so here is my little wishlist from ModCloth:

Vintage-style Telephone, Arrow Mug, Jaws Cup, Bunny Ear Salad Utensils, Kitty Salt n' Pepper Pots, Anchor Doormat, Bear Tea-towel, Bear Coasters.

So if anyone knows where I can get similar, cute homeware items from the UK please send me links and your fave places to look at cute homeware too! I could literally spend hours pining over it.

Hope everybody is well.
