My new obsession...

  These days the countdown to payday isn't filled with daydreams of Topshop and Zara, but instead of the bright aisles of Ikea and Home Sense. My name is Amy and I'm a homeware addict. 

I moved into a lovely flat with my best friend in January, and have had so much fun trying to make my bedroom look like something straight out of my pinterest boards. I'm not quite there yet, but thought I'd share with you some of my favourite finds so far.

Nike Air Max

I hope you're all well and truly back in the swing of work- that Easter break feels like a lifetime away now don't you think?! 

Thought I'd share my outfit from Bank Holiday Monday- as the sun FINALLY decided to show it's face and I took the opportunity to get a dress on! 

I'd been waiting for an opportunity to pair a black midi dress with my Nikes and this tassled jacket since I dreamed the outfit up while scrolling Pinterest (am I the only one that does that!?)

This jacket was an absolute steal from Depop where a very lovely seller was selling it brand new and unworn for just £18- I had my eye on it when it was £65 in River Island!

Excuse my light reflecting legs. Come. On. Summer. 

 

It feels like summer is well and truly on it's way, THANK THE LORD!! *hands in the air emoji* 

Love love

Crop it like it's hot...

Hey loves, I hope you've all had a lovely bank holiday. Four days always sounds like such a long time but somehow manages to go by so quickly!

I spent Good Friday with my boyfriend Will, who surprised me with brunch and whisked me to Brighton for the day- what a good egg. 

I'm so happy to dig out this vintage CK tee (bought on Depop last summer but I can only imagine it's from Beyond Retro).

Yes, I am shamefully showing off my tattoo in these photos. Guilty. 

Judging by these photos I need to put down the Easter eggs! Have you had a nice break? What have you been getting up to? 

Love love

Two Snakes Tattoo

Last Sunday I finally made a trip I had been excited about for months- to my brother and sister in law's new tattoo shop in Hastings- Two Snakes Tattoo. A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into this place, and I am so incredibly proud of them!

Alexis has done all of my tattoos (6 to date), and she is an amazingly talented artist- when tattoos are this good, a two hour car journey is nothing! 

I got a peony on my wrist- my biggest tattoo yet. I am in love. 

 To see what it looks like finished, head over to my Instagram (amy_c_c)
