POTD... A Very British Summer


Well, if you're from the UK or just live here... you know where I'm going with this outfit at the moment... note the Wellington boots and darker colours. Mmmhmm. Rain.
BUT I love it. I love wearing Wellies and I love all things England and rainy so it's all good in the hood!
This is my ideal outfit from start to finish. Cute accessories. Gorgeous nails. My favourite colours/shades.
I'd wear this right now if I could! If only I was Sabrina the Teenage Witch. 90s TV reference. Awesome sauce.

1. Black Peplum top from River Island.
£25.00
2. Lock and Key belt from Romwe.
£ 10.06
3. Nail Rock Heart Nail Wraps from ASOS.
£6.70 usually but on sale for £4.50!
4. Gold-coloured Metal TaAccessorize.
£4.00
5. Rabbit Across Body Bag from ASOS.

£35.00
7. Gold Tone Diamanté Dragonfly Headband by River Island.

I'd wear it with this make up! Oh, how I want them now!
Enjoy your very British Summer!

Luella's Guide to English Style.

I obviously didn't need to buy this book because I did grow up and still live in England.
I know how diverse our fashion is and I know how quirky we can be.
I'm proud of this... I love how eclectic our style is.
When I see Helena Bonham Carter or Kate Middleton... I feel at home.
Nothing shocks me in British fashion.
I bought this Guide to celebrate that.
Alexa Chung is quoted on the cover... you just know that gives it 100 awesome points right there!
The queen of British eccentricity!
I've always been faccinated by Vivienne Westwood. Her designs, her scents, her advertising campaigns.
LOVE.
I love Helena so much! She just doesn't care what anyone thinks.
The best is when she dresses in Vivienne Westwood. Match made is heaven!


I love the drawing in this book and the detailed descriptions of the various categories of style.
There are A LOT of celebrities and fashionistas that you probably wouldn't recognise if you weren't British but it's all about the fun of educating yourself on our style!
Have fun!

Do you know what else I love on a side note... Tim Burton + Helena Bonham Carter + Vivienne Westwood = sexual beyond belief.
