Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts




Outfit:
Black felt fedora - From granddad (similar)
Quilted faux leather jacket - Zara (similar)
Tartan midi jersey dress - Boohoo
Black leather heeled ankle boots - Topshop (similar)

After having a sort through the cupboard looking for my Halloween outfit I came across this hat. It belonged to my granddad and when he passed away when I was 16 I nabbed it from my nans house. I still remember the day he bought it, we were up in Scotland and it started to rain so he walked into a shop in the village to buy something to keep the rain off his head. It's funny how certain memories stick in your head when you glance at something. I'd eyeing up a fedora lately for the winter months so this one has popped up at just the right time. Plus something with sentimental value is always more special isn't it? I saw this dress on Sarah's Wednesday Wants and as soon as payday rolled around last week I popped it in my basket and put my card details in before you could say tartan. WINTER20 helps you get 20% off your order.

I was hunting out a Halloween costume as  I'm off to Northern Ireland - Derry to be exact - on Wednesday to celebrate the holiday in style. We been told by my boyfriends family that it's kinda a big deal and we're in for a treat. It's only a flying visiting as we're visiting for just three days but I'm very much looking forward to it and it'll be nice to all catch up. I'm glad we fly back on a Friday so I have the weekend to recover  if the last trip was anything to go by. My liver is already weeping at the thought...
