Another outfit post of what I wore today. I was going to my local park with my mum to go up the clock tower that's situated there...but the tour was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances, boo.
Anyway, never mind... Here's what I wore.
Checkered flannel shirt with studded pockets from Zara.
Jersey dress from H&M.
Scarf from Dorothy Perkins.
Hat with bobble ears from Topshop.
Alexander Wang Rocco bag.
Ash Tundra boots.
I made a quick video too, featuring some lovely singing by a friend of mine! Please check out his band, Make Your Mark on youtube!
So today I went on a tour of Blackpool's Funny Girls. It used to be the ODEON many years ago...
It was then purchased by an entrepreneur and businessman called Basil Newby and made into the famous transvestite show bar, Funny Girls!
The building kept a lot of its original Art Deco features. We weren't allowed to film in the club but I took a picture in the main entrance hallway. If you look closely on the stage behind me there's one of the dancers warming up for the show this evening - doing a squat of some sort!
Info on what I wore is below.
You can view in HD, too!
Disco Pants from American Apparel
Hellraiser Spiked Loafers by UNIF
Fashion Will Eat Itself T-shirt from Yu&Me
Camo Jacket from the Charity Shop
Grey Hoodie from Topshop
Bobble Hat from Topshop

Classic 11" Satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Company
Hope you like it!
Ps. Think I may have made a decision on the colour of my Birthday Satchel! Eeeek!
Hi everyone! I need your help. It's my birthday in a couple of months and I've been perusing for birthday presents for myself, as you do. I think I want another Cambridge Satchel because I love the design and wear my others a lot, but I can't for the life of me choose a colour.
I've narrowed it down to 4 I think. Fluorescent Orange, Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Yellow or Deep Red. PLEASE HELP ME!
As you've probably seen in previous outfit posts of mine, I own the Zara Safari Jacket with Leather Sleeves which is now sold out.
HOWEVER! I've recently been seeing (much to my annoyance!) plenty of replicas on the Highstreet/online! So if you liked the Zara version but didn't quite manage to get your hands on it, fear not. Here are a few places you can get some dupes!
I'm very unimpressed as they're all cheaper than what I paid for my Zara one...buttttttt it always seems to happen! Now you can all get your hands on one for cheap as chips!
Just wanted to show you my two new t-shirts from Me&Yu!
Thank you so much, Angie and Gordon - I love them! <3
You can purchase this T-Shirt from Me&Yu HERE, or if you're local you can visit Me&Yu's shop in Afflecks Palace (3rd floor) in Manchester's Northern Quarter.
Hi guys! Since my last post went up, I received an email from the Marketing Manager at MaxStar shoes and he wanted to let me know that I'd been featured on the MaxStar website! How cool is that. I just wanted to share it with you guys cos I'm really excited haha!
I recently got in touch with a company called MaxStar shoes. I'd seen their shoes on a couple of youtube channels that I'm subscribed to and really liked the look of them, so I messaged the company and asked if I could review a pair of their shoes for you guys. Julian at MaxStar very kindly sent me a pair of my choice so I could try them out and let you know what I thought of them!
These are the shoes I picked out....wait for it...
Ta-daaaa!
Aren't they insane!?
They are the MaxStar C50 6 Hole Platform Low Sneaker in Black which you can find HERE. They look super like the Converse All Stars but sport a mega platform sole.
Here's what I decided to wear them with. I was just having a casual day with the boyfriend and needed to run a few errands in town.
And this is how they look close up...
I have to admit, at first sight of them I thought they were going to be hard to walk in and pretty clunky...but I couldn'tve been more wrong. These shoes rival the comfort of regular Converse trainers in my opinion. They are very lightweight because the sole seems to be made out a firm spongey material rather than the thick rubber that Converse are made from. This both makes the shoes super light and also makes them really, really comfy and squidgy beneath the feet. :)
I ordered a size 6.0 which is equal to a UK4 - which I am - and they fit me perfectly. I walked all day in them today and there was no rubbing what-so-ever. Ker-ching!
Comparing them to authentic Converse again, I'd say that the material is a little thinner - not quite the canvassy material that the Converse are made out of, but by no means are they bad quality.
The only issue I did have with these shoes when walking was that they seemed to be a bit loose round the heel area. To be honest, though, you can see how I've laced them up (to hide the shoelace bow) and I didn't really pull them that tight. If I would've tied them properly, this would most likely tighten them up a little, but I kind of like the loose, slouchy look, so why am I even complaining... I'm not.
Anyway, here's a video of my O.O.T.D so you can see me walking in these babies!
MaxStar have a whole range of platform/flatform sneaks - some are absolutely mental! You have to check them out. I went with quite a tame pair but you can get silver, stripy, acid wash - pretty much any colour. They also come in the Hi-Top style as well.

Hi guys. I've been really busy this week and loads of interesting things have been going on in Blackpool. Manchester based clothing company Me&Yu have teamed up with Blackpool's FYCreatives (a creative business centre which boasts a lovely gallery and hub space where people can network) to host Blackpool's first Pop Up Shop, aptly called Me&FYC.
The temporary shop is open from Friday 17th August until the 1st September and sells Sandgrown fashion, art and design from the Blackpool and Fylde Coast. All of the products in the shop are inspired by or made in and across Blackpool.
Angie (above), one half of fashion duo Me&Yu, kindly asked me to help out at the Pop Up Shop event "A Fashionable Evening" by doing manicures for all the lovely ladies who came along.
I had a great night and got to meet some lovely ladies. I took a few pictures of the nails I did that night.
Here's my gorgeous set up, thanks to Angie as I didn't have time to get round earlier and set up my table as I was at work right up until the event started - hence the frazzled makeup and hair on this next pic!
All of the nail varnishes above were for sale and I managed to diminish a fair bit of my excessive collection!
