YO!
So as you’ve guessed i’m not the lovely Eve. She has very kindly let me take over her space to present to you my very first guest post.
So let me introduce myself, I’m Jess from
www.Iamfoxxtailz.co.uk . Alternative fashion is my thing, I go weak at the knees for anything Kawaii/grunge/90s/punk. I dress as if I rolled around in my wardrobe, I ain’t afraid of no clash.
This Friday myself and my closers girlfriend are going to a burlesque show in York. As my friends are both quite 50’s orientated with their fashions I wanted something loosely along those lines for the night out. I had seen this Sourpuss dress floating about the internet for a bit and I was sold as soon as I realised the patterns were bats because i’m all about the #GoffLyf.
I eagerly awaited the dress and practically camped out by my letter box waiting for my dress to come all the way from ‘Merica. I had envisioned a nice cotton kinda material the dress to be made out of. I was kinda disappointed it was a weird stretchy perhaps material that was kinda cheap. Not stoked. With that kinda material it does have a tendency to stick to my cake induced tummy and matching muffin tops. Regardless of the material issue I tried it on and loved it. The dress was a decent length, a strong contender for when i’m on the look out for a new one as being a tall girl I do tend to struggle finding dresses that actually cover my butt, sad face.
I really love the capped sleeves and that the waistband of the dress is slightly higher then you would usually find normally on dresses. Can we also acknowledge the adorable embroidered bats at the top of the dress? So freaking cute!To finish off the outfit I paired the dress with my fish net and creepers combo I seem to have a thing for at the moment and to dress it up I added my oh so lovely Vivienne Westwood bag my boyfriend very kindly gave me for my birthday ^_^

It's been a while since we had some bag lovin on this blog, so I'm bringing it back!
I got a new bag recently and am so happy with it I thought I would share it with you guys.
So the bag I got was a Michael Kors bag (I know, everyone has them now). I'll be honest I'd been eyeing the black version of this bag for a while. I really like quilted bags, but know I will never get my hands on a Chanel one, so I figured this was the next best thing!
Michael Kors make really good quality bags & they're soft leather ones are really nice.
So this bag is the Sloan Large quilted-leather should bag. You can get it in a few different colours, but I went for the grey. I went for this partly because it's something different as all my other bags are black & because I just really liked the grey. Grey still goes with everything, like black does.
So the bag itself is made of really nice quality soft leather. It has a shoulder strap with can either be used as two shorter handles or one cross body length handle. I prefer to use it with the two shorter, as it fits perfectly under your arm that way. This is great for anti-theft reasons.
Another thing I really like about this bag is the clasp, as it's not that easy to get into (again for anti-theft reasons this is great. PS can you tell I've had my purse stolen before!!)
My purse fits perfectly in this bag too, which is great as it's quite a large purse. The bag has two sections with a zip section in the middle, as well as the usual phone pockets & back zip. So there are plenty of places to put values, as well as essentials.
Overall it wasn't a cheap bag, but for me definitely worth the price.
I debated over this bag for a while, but the anti-theft features on it really sold me.
I still get super paranoid about my purse & phone getting stolen, but with this bag it's pretty much impossible.
What bag are you loving at the moment??
Love Eve xx

I love Spring! Finally the weather is starting to change.
However it's still a bit cold out, especially in the UK anyway!
So I thought I would create a 'wishlist' sort of post, so you guys can get some accessory ideas.
I love all the obvious accessories like jewellery etc. But if we're talking practically sunglasses & light scarves are the way forward!
I'm not really that fussy when it comes to sunglasses. Designer ones are always nice but sometimes high street do the job just as well.
Then there are scarves! Preferably ones that are made of a lighter material for this time of year.
Scarves are great accessories as they can add colour and layers to an outfit.
A great company that make scarves are
Powder!
They make some really cool bright scarves like this one below.

These colours just scream spring to me! I'd pair this with jeans, some Vans, plain tee and leather jacket for a daytime look. There's nothing to say you couldn't pair this with an evening outfit as well! I actually think some of their scarves would be perfect for weddings they're that nice.
They actually have a section on their website especially for their spring scarf collection.
I'm really considering purchasing one or two myself they look so nice!
Let me know below what's on your wishlist!
love Eve xx
When it comes to accessories I love a good designer treat!
I somehow feel it's more justifiable, as I'll use them more. ;)
So my current bag of choice is this beauty.
This is the Michael Kors Susannah quilted leather large tote.
I love Michael Kors bags as they're designer but not overly expensive. You can also grab a bargain if you catch them on sale or at discount designer outlets.
I was looking for a larger day to day bag but not something huge and this is just perfect!
The leather is also amazingly soft & good quality.
