you can take the girl out of england...

Skirt: Forever 21 ---> remember when I wore it this way? Top: Savage London. Boots: All Saints
Sometimes all you want is a bowl of cereal. The shirt has been with me for years. I sleep in it all the time and recently hacked off the sleeves and cropped the bottom.
I didn't grow up around Peckham but I love it.
ps. Will I meet any of you lot at the Chictopia blogger event this Sunday? If so, do say hello ;-)

  1. I love cereal for any meal. I love the skirt. I love that you keep your shirts around that long. I do as well, thus the exploding closet. It looks cute with sleeves hacked off. x

  38. I didn't grow up in London, but I am going there next month and I can't wait. I don't usually like touristy tees with locations etc, but as usually you added humor and a touch of grunge to it so it's cool :-)
