“Tonight your mine completely,
You give your love so sweetly...”
This post’s TUNE comes from the late great Amy Winehouse. I would just like to say I could name of all Amy Winehouse’s songs for my posts as they are all as equally beautiful and brilliant as each other, but this just happens to be one I’m listening to now. This is a track from her newest album released after her death and it is just sung so beautifully that you can’t help but fall in love with the song and her.
Out of all my songs choices, Amy Winehouse’s ones are the most important to me, she was such a talent and I was absolutely devastated when I found out about her death, I’ve never had the chance to see her live and I never will;and to think that I once had tickets to her concert, so close yet so far...
Fortunately Amy Winehouse has left behind some of the most amazing songs ever created for everyone to enjoy for the rest of their lives, I know I will always love her and her music.
On a light note...
Dress: Primark (£13.00)
Tights: Primark (£2.50)
Shoes: ASOS (old)
Belt: New Look (old)
Necklace: Topshop (£3.50, sale)
Coat: Primark (£20.00, sale)
Faux Fur: HandM (old)
Bag: Peacocks (old)
Brooch: Primark (set of 3 for £1.00)
So the other day my sister and I (proper English) spent the day shopping in Bristol, and this is my friends is what I wore. I do love Bristol, there are so many interesting bits to it, it’s one of the few places I would like to live, although this would involve leaving south Wales, and I do love Wales (how very patriotic).
Anywho, so I bought this dress with this lovely coat the other day (see I told you I would be living in it, you can see my other post on this coat here). I love the old fashioned feel of this dress, it has a very vintage look and has such pretty little sleeves, and the belt around the middle ties in my shoes just lovely.
I have loved the whole faux fur trend recently, the giant fur collars just make everything look so cool, but I didn’t buy one of these coats (I know, of all the billions of coats I have I don’t have one of these, shocking). But I think this faux fur has been a much better investment and it looks especially good with my lovely new coat if I do say so myself!
Finally, I really love this little owl pin, I picked it up as a pack of 3 in Primark, it said £2.50 on the tag but when I took them to the till they were just a pound, what a bargain! I have been finding quite a lot recently that whenever I seem to take stuff up to the till in Primark the items are reduced from what they are on the ticket, hell, I’m not complaining.
Like the look, hate the look, let me know!

Ahh, I love Amy Winehouse! A unique talent, indeed. That really is a lovely song and her take on it is impeccable- the original version by the Shirelles is amazing as well. You can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbxxkwBQk_o

You look lovely, love your coat, i tried that dress on the other day and It made me look so short and I thought it was a horrible dress but it looks absolutely lovely on you so maybe it's just that I'm short aha :)
ReplyDeleteI love listening to Amy's music, she was so talented.

Yeah, go for it :) The dress is from Primark, it's only £13.00 so I mean for such little money it wouldn't really be breaking your shopping ban... (thats what you can tell yourself anyway haha) :)
