Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear.

Navy blouse: 50p, charity shop. Waxed jacket: £22, Primark. Shorts: Fat Face (old). Sunglasses: £2, Primark. Socks: £2, asos. Hunter boots: won in Char's giveaway. Bag: gift from Jazmine.

As I'm sure you've read on Olivia and Jazmine's blogs, last week we all headed South to catch the ferry to the Isle of Wight Festival. After a (very) last minute email from the ladies at Hunter, I found myself organising transport for the next day, and chucking as many baby wipes into a rucksack as I could find. I do like a good few days sat festering in the middle of a field (it's a lot more fun than it sounds), so it's hardly surprising that I took up the offer, and I am so glad I did. Spending the weekend with my favourite blogging pals (Lyzi included!) and my parisian friend Sabby aside, I finally got to see Blondie after several plays of Parallel Lines, as well as Rizzle Kicks, Stone Roses, Sub Focus, Modestep, Paloma Faith, and a band who I think are called Bon Jovi? For me, festivals aren't about making yourself look good, which is handy after attempting to draw catflicks in a tent. Instead, I found myself relying on a couple of disposable cameras and borrowing Jazmine's (thank you!) to get a few shots of my outfit on day three. A few of our fellow festival-goers seemed bemused at the whole concept of taking outfit photos, but I've just got my disposables developed, so I'm sure they'll find their way into a future post! I may not be heading to Glasto (sob), but I hope you lucky folks who are have the best time, and have a year's supply of toilet rolls with you.

I felt you and I knew you loved me.

Blouse: £6, vintage via Ark. Denim circle skirt: £28.50, American Apparel. Denim jacket: £63, Hobbs. Scarf: £1, charity shop. Shoes: 50p, Russell and Bromley. Jewellery: gifts. Belt: 20p, charity shop. Bag: gift from Jazmine. Lips: Topshop Mischief.

Considering it had been on my must do list since I found out you could, it took me till my last week in Liverpool to go to the top of the Anglican cathedral and see the city from its blustery heights. Somehow managing to stay on our feet, Sita, Amy and I headed up there on a clear day and gave our fair city a farewell from above. It's so odd to see where you live (cue "I can see my house!!" shouts) from such a different angle, but it doesn't half make me miss it when I scroll through all my photos. Perhaps a beehive wasn't the best idea for going somewhere so exposed, but after a trip to the toilets, past an Emin, we managed to snap these outfit photos in the beautiful grounds. The graveyard there is quite different to Pรจre Lachaise which I visited last Wednesday, but the stone-lined passageways tell their own stories. I guess that's a bit of an odd (if perhaps relevant) last outfit post from Liverpool, but it shows how varied the city can be - from green Sefton Park to cool, steel shop fronts. Although I miss it and its perfect locations, I guess you'll have to make do with some Isle of Wight and Paris based posts for now!

Colour me your colour baby.

Tee: c/o COLLECTIVE. Tennis skirt: £2.50, Fred Perry via charity shop. Leather jacket: The Kooples. Anna boots: £76.50, Topshop. Jewellery: gift. Women's Glasses: c/o MyOptique.

And this is why I never say I'll post on a certain day. This was meant to be published on Friday, but I had a bit of a manic weekend (maybe you saw my tweets) so it got put on the backburner, and now I'm typing this up from Paris. I mean, who wants a boring life?

This is the final of my white tee looks, and I think it might be my favourite. I got this skirt as a set with a tee from my favourite charity shop a long time ago but never got round to wearing it as I always feel a bit nervous when combining white with my love of tomatoes, and I'll always prioritise puttanesca over sartorial sensibility! I always envy Camilla's all-white ensembles, so thought it was about time that I gave it a go myself.

You may also notice my new specs! I've been wearing glasses since I was twelve, but they've never really featured heavily on my blog as I tend to wear contact lenses most days. However, I was well due a new pair after putting it off for over two years, so I had a look through MyOptique's range of designer glasses and picked a pair of Soho London Retro Glasses. I'm not quite sure how they can sell frames and lenses for less than £80, but I'm bloody happy they do! They're a lot thicker than my last frames, but I feel much more comfortable wearing them outside after the paranoia I'd developed over the years. I'm pretty sure they'll become a regular feature of outfit posts to come!
