Duvet Days Clothing


  I discovered Duvet Days recently on Depop and Immediately fell in love with their brand. They create custom made pieces from upcyling  bed sheets that we had as children  leaving you feeling very nostalgic and look pretty damn cool. They constantly get new fabrics and have so many to choose from, from Barbie, Disney, Star Wars and many more. Being custom made you have a variety of options in the style you want from skirts, tailored trousers, two pieces and hair scrunchies and you will be guaranteed excellent quality in the garments you purchase.
With so many options I found it hard to decide what I wanted because I wanted It all! I remained strict on myself and went with a cropped jumper with vintage Little Mermaid fabric from the 90s. What I love about this jumper is that the fabric is on both sides of it and the colours and detail are just stunning. The jumper itself is soft inside and the grey and green colours go with the fabric perfectly.

 
 I also decided to get a Return of the Jedi high waisted skirt which is made out of fabric from the 1980's, It is safe to say they don't make duvet covers like this anymore. The detail again is just amazing and fits perfectly with absolutely no discomfort like some high waisted skirts that I have worn previously. This company has filled my Disney and Star Wars loving heart with some of the best pieces clothing I have every purchased. If you are heading to a Disney park or a festival  or if like me you want something cool and cute to wear day to day then get yourself some pieces.

Small Buisness's - Two Mini Reviews Of 'SillyGirlClub' and 'WilyFoxVintage'



I have always loved buying things from small business's because you can find some really unique things and recently I have discovered some new ones which have some really amazing  and creative things. These two business's sell very different items but both will take you back to your childhood.


1. WilyFoxVintage 

WilyFoxVintage Is a online shop run by a girl named Jen and she sells a variety of vintage items via Instagram,Etsy,Depop and Big Cartel many of these items are Disney, Harry Potter and other one of pieces. Her most popular Items are mystery boxes, she has a variety of different themed boxes which Include Disney, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Twin Peaks. The prices of the boxes are varied from £8-£25 and contain 3-4 Items with Duluxe boxes containing an extra 2. The items inside are a mixture of both vintage and handmade items

and are of really good quality and value for money as they are worth more than the price of the box. I decided to get a deluxe Disney box and It contained handmade Beauty And The Beast bunting, vintage Snow White Burger King cup, handmade Princess And The Frog brooch, Disneyland castle print and stickers designed by Kayley Mills. If you are interested In buying from WilyFoxVintage these are her pages;

When A British Girl Discovers Hot Topic.


During my trip to California I discovered Hot Topic which Is an alternative clothes shop and unfortunately we do not get It here In the UK unless we pay silly amounts for shipping. As soon as I stepped In I got really carried away because of just how much Disney stuff they had along with a few other things and the prices were really good also. When I got home I decided I would style all the pieces that I purchased.


"Everyone's Mad Here" - Cheshire Cat
1. Crazy Cat Lady

 Here I am wearing a "You've Cat To Be Kitten Me Right Meow" t-shirt from Hot Topic and I have styled It with a floral daisy skirt from Urban Outfitters and a pair of adorable cat Vans from the Vans store In downtown Santa Monica, but fear not British readers you can get these shoes here In the UK In the shoe shop Schuh for about 40-50 pounds.

                     
"Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty Little Ball Of Fur" 



   
                              
  Here I am wearing a vintage style cat t-shirt that says "i will end u." from Hot Topic and I styled it with a pair of black high waisted shorts from Primark which compliments the t-shirt as It Is quite long. I then added a vintage long denim shirt from the East End Thrift Store and a pair of adorable cat suspender tights which I found on Amazon and completed the outfit with a pair of Dr Martens.

This was one of my favourite finds In Hot Topic because you see It In the shop and think Its a cute cat top and you pick It up and see the slogan at the bottom It had me laughing so I had to get It.


                   




2. "It's A Pity And A Sin She Doesn't Quite Fit In"

 Here I am wearing a Belle from Walt Disney's Beauty And The Beast crop top and a pair of plimsoll style shoes with a stain glass movie design from the same film, both of these are from Hot Topic. I styled them with a pair of vintage mom jeans from RokIt and a pink over sized shirt from the East End Store. I completed this look by keeping with the Beauty And The Beast theme by adding a necklace that I created with Mrs Potts's on it.
There Maybe Something There That Wasn't There Before."








         

                                                           


3. "At Last I See The Light"

Here I am wearing a Tangled Jumper with Flynn Rider and Rapunzel on the front which Is from Hot Topic and styled It with vintage mom jeans from RokIt.



"When Will My Life Begin"


If you are a lover of alternative fashion and Disney then you will love Hot Topic and I for one fell In love with this store whilst I was In Hollywood, all we can do Is hope that Hot Topic comes to the UK.
