Outfit post: Oasap Shirt Dress

Hello! Hope you're having a lovely weekend wherever you are. The sun has been out today (which makes a change from all the rain this week), so I took the opportunity to take a few photos of my latest purchase from Oasap!

I've been looking for a while for a little dress to wear for something casual during the day. I chose this little number as it looked adorable on the Oasap website. I particularly liked the collared shirt as I knew it would look great with a woolly jumper over it. The dress came up quite large for a size Medium, and could have brought it in a small, but the thin brown belt that came with it helped to shape the dress. For this look I wanted to go minimalistic, so I covered up with a teal blue cardigan from New Look and wore my favourite Clark's brogues. My necklace was brought a few weeks ago from Primark, and I felt it added the finishing touches to the dress.

What I'm Wearing: Dress - Oasap, Cardigan - New Look, Bag - Charity Shop.

That's all from me today. I'm eagerly anticipating the season finale of Downton Abbey this evening - as you know my love of period drama's never changes, so I can't wait to see how it ends!

Lots of Love,

Call the Midwife is back! Let the 1950's return!

Vintage is a huge part of my life! And with the latest season of Call the Midwife starting on Sunday, it's all I've been thinking about recently!

 Vintage is a way for us 'modern girls and boys' to dream of the lovely 'old day's,' our grandparents speak of so much...

The day's of ball's and dancing, of music and laughter and the incredibly styled clothes, that were designed for comfort, rather than how much skin you can flash!

Call the Midwife, sets the reality of what the 1950's clothes were designed for - hard work and to last in all weathers?! - So, no Primark then?

I'm so excited about the return of Call the Midwife. In times of horrors and slaughtering programs, it's good to see a different sort of 'blood and guts,' with the main character creating  life, rather than destroying it! 

This season is due to be another heart throb, however, this time with gripping drama included! It addresses the issues looming in the 1950's, and this time will focus on the enforced prostitution in London and nursing technology, including 'gas and air'... 

Here are a few thing's vintage, that appear on the program, that you can still buy for yourself to Vintage up you life! 

I just love the Robert's radios. This Vintage style Robert's Radio, proves how Vintage still go on - just like Robert's Radios, which was founded in the 1930's and still lives on today! I wan't this radio in my Kitchen! Radio - £138. 

Another Vintage item, staring in Call the Midwife, which is still as popular today, is the Bicycle. I've always dreamed of riding my bike with my little basket on the front - only problem is, is my house is surrounded by fields  so I doubt it would be very practical... Still, I tell myself this will be my first 'investment' when I go to University!

Well that's all from me!
Anyone else excited for Call the Midwife? Hope you all enjoying the snow too!  

Lots of Love,

My Week...Birthday/Revision/and a big Thank you! #1

Okay, It's another quick post, as I'm being howled at by my mother about GETTING ON WITH REVISION! Anyone else got exams at the moment - it's killing me!
First I just wan't to say a big Thankyou!

Since starting off my little blog back in summer, I've enjoyed every second, of blogging, and thanks to you lovely readers I hate spending a second not ranting on about all my interests!
So last week, I hit 10,000 hits which for many of you is like 'yeah and what?' but I was so chuffed!
So thank you!!!

With celebrating my birthday last weekend, I haven't had chance to show you all my lovely present's off my friends and family.....

 This was a highlight of my birthday. I have always wanted a teddy bear from the 'build-a-bear workshop' since I've been about 6. So, when I opened my new teddy from my lovely friends, I was over the moon! Then I pressed the wrist, (and knowing I'm not the greatest fan of One Direction) my friends had kindly added 'that's what makes you beautiful' as the tune.... which keeps accidenty playing when I'm asleep!

 This was a present I kindly brought for myself from Ebay and got my momma to wrap it (best way to do it, if you ask me!). I just love how cute this satchel is - it even has little ears! I'm sure you'll be seeing more of this, in future posts!

Here's my reading list the last few weeks. As you know, I'm officially obsessed with Downton Abbey, so have enjoyed reading the latest series book! Did you know, that on set, it's so cold outside - the actors do all their rehearsals in coats with hot water bottles, so they don't freeze! I've finally got my 'Teen Vogue Hand Book', which I'm super excited about reading...when I get round to it.

 I always love adding new things to decorate my bedroom. This lovely 'LOVE' sign, looks great among my many books on my bookshelf, and I can't wait to add my own photo!

 I love doing my nails, and my lovely friend Lauren brought me this amazing nail set - that has everything you'll ever need to make your nails look gorgeous! I can't wait to do some demo's for you all, though I'll be waiting till after my exams, as my nails are currently bit down with nerves! Whoops!

My Auntie brought me this lovely bag to match my new Vintage Satchel I had for christmas: you can see it here. It's just the right size to put in your phone and purse in, and compliments any outfit!

Well that's all, Enjoy you Sunday - The Suns out, though I'm hoping it FINALLY snows in the next few days?!!?!?!
I'm off to learn about the origins of the Second World War. My own brain will be having a World War after all this revision... Still, let's hope it's worth it!

Lots of Love,

the heart is an unsolved mystery... What Blondie is wearing today X

The weekend's nearly over :(
Today's weather was rubbish, so I stayed inside for today's post!
My latest purchase is this Vintage Style Dress from TKMAXX. I can spend hours in TKMAXX, trailing through racks and racks of clothes - and trust me I always find something by the end of it!

It's fair to say I'm in love with this dress. There's so many ways to wear it, so you can wear it over and over! The collar lace detail is really cute and creates a lovely neck line too. The pattern of the dress is just gorgeous! It has dainty flowers that intertwine with polka dots. I've stolen my younger sisters cardigan (as I do rather a lot) to wear with the dress as it creates a more relaxed style, and keeps me warm! 

Will it be Trick Or Treat?

Well, Halloween is coming up and I've had plenty of inspiration for my Party outfit.
Unlike my 14 year old sister, who has decided to go as a 'Cow' to her Halloween Party?

If you are more like my sister, then this post is for you.
I've noised every online shop, for some great 'daily' outfits with a spooky twist and I've got a few simple ideas for you too, to make your costume ideas better than a 'farmyard animal'!

Before I bore you to death (excuse the pun there) I'm on a raid for new followers, so if your a newbie to Blondies Style Fix, please add me to your followers, and I'll be happy to return!

Here's some of my favourite picks from the High Street, which give that 'spooky' feel to your outfits!
Leggings: £15 New Look, Lace Top: £25 River Island, Collar Top: £32 Top Shop, Fur Gilet: £55 Dorothy Perkins, Skirt: £46 Top Shop.

As for some inspirational ideas, that beat the 'slutty bunny,' 'dead school girl,' or 'white sheet ghost'!

 It may be Autumn now, but that never stops me!
I've selected one of my favourite dresses today - simply for all the beautiful memories it keeps! I've got some gorgeous snaps from a friends birthday party wearing it. If you've never been to Queenies Cupcakery in Ironbridge, then you have never tasted heaven! Check the website out here and if your ever planning a trip to somewhere beautiful - Queenies is your destination! We had our very own vintage tea party, which has to be the cutest thing ever!!!!!!

I'm already a Vintage freak as it is, so if the 50's music and finger sandwiches wasn't enough, we had an selection of the most gorgeous Cupcakes I'd ever tasted! Obviously I went for the 'Snickerlicious' (Snicker and Chocolate) Cupcake - how I didn't get the entire cake down me, I will never know!
