Candy Cane

Skirt: American Apparel. 

Denim Bralet: TopShop (Try this studded version).

Bag: Coach. Sandals: TopShop.

I found this skirt languishing at the bottom of my closet. It's more "girlie" then the items that I usually reach for but the light weight cotton material made it perfect for a hot afternoon in Hollywood.

If you're in LA then swing by the Tory Burch store on Robertson tonight (Sept 6th, 7-8.30pm). I'm hosting a FNO party and I'd love to meet some Ring My Bell readers! If you can't make it, you can still join in with the FNO fun by entering my Tory Burch giveaway :)

Denim shorts: Vintage (get similar here). Top: TopShop. 

Sandals: TopShop. Bag: Chanel.

I splashed out on a new bag (instagramed here). I love that it's a modern take on an old calssic. The leather is matte and the hardware is tarnished so it gives what can be quite a preppy style a bit of edge. I like dressing it down with cut offs and flats but it will work great for cocktails too.... I am totally justifying a very expensive purchase! 

London Calling

Jeans: Current Elliott. Vest: American Apparel. 

Bag: Mulberry (get the look for less here).

Shoes: Zara. Sunglasses: ASOS.

Back in London and it feels good.... Well it does now that the sun is shining. It was freezing for the first week we were here- far too cold for May even by London's standards.

I'm rocking a bit of double leopard here. Too much of a good thing? Not to me!

Rainbow

Shorts: Vintage Market (alternatives here & here) 

Shirt: TopShop. Shoes: Steve Madden. 

Watch: Michael Kors. Bird Skull Ring: Courtesy of Bad Passion.

Bag: Courtesy of Coach. Cuff: DanniJo. Sunglasses: ASOS.

This is my hair untouched. It looks like this if I wash it and leave it alone. Sometimes it's nice to have a break from all the heat.

I picked these shorts up this weekend at The Melrose Trading Post market. There's a denim 'cut offs' stall there that is amazing. I get all my vintage levis from that market. For those of you not in LA I've found some equally as good rainbow shorts HERE & HERE. I think I'll be wearing mine a LOT this summer :)

I keep getting questions about my watch. As far as I can see the MK5055 and the MK5384 are basically the same watch. I've checked and double checked and THIS is definitely the watch I'm wearing.

Summer Knit

Shorts: TopShop. Jumper: Urban Outfitters. Shoes: Zara. 

Neon Bracelet: Courtesy of CC Skye. (check out the necklace version here)

There's something about a light weight knit that seems to balance out short shorts perfectly. I snagged this one from the Urban Outfitters sale.
