Five Things & Five Blogs I Love Friday #42!

It's been such a long time since I wrote one of these posts and I'm not sure why! Blogging every day in May is really encouraging me to share more again, like I used to a year or so ago and I'm really happy about that.

One. Blogging & Reading more blogs!

It was beginning to get to the point where I was starting to fall a little out of love with blogging which is something I don't want to happen because this is one of the only things I've ever really stuck at. I've had phases with drama clubs, ballet lessons & swimming clubs when I was younger and nothing ever stuck, but I adore blogging, it's become such a big part of my life and I hope it stays that way. Ever since starting to use Bloglovin' more over recent months I've been reading and discovering more new blogs which is something I've loved for years. I love the diversity and uniqueness of blogs, every blog is unique because every person is unique and hearing things from different perspectives is something that has the potential to help us all learn something new every day.

Two. Angelica Florence Accessories. 

Supporting indie businesses is something I think is incredibly important and it's really inspirational to see someone with an idea following their dreams. I have fallen completely in love with every single thing from Angelica Florence, especially this Navy Tassel bracelet which is just gorgeous! 

Three. Hell Bunny Dresses. 

Karen Dress // Sunrise 50s Dress // Lazy River Dress

If the sunshine ever appears in my little corner of the UK I'm dreaming of wearing one of these dresses for a little countryside adventure. I think they would all look super cute with a little cardigan and some sweet sandals.

Four. The A Beautiful Mess App. 

A Beautiful Mess is a blog I've followed for years and I was super excited when I heard they were releasing an app because I knew it would be gorgeous. I never ever pay for apps but I had to make an exception for this one because it's so adorable! Best 69p I've ever spent!

Five. Planning a trip to the seaside!

It has been far too long since I've seen the sea, it's the only thing I miss about where I used to live, so I'm super excited that my boyfriend and I are planning a little trip for the summer. He's getting a new car soon and it's tradition to go on a little trip, exciting!

Ralphie's Diary: The Hay Nest!

"Mama says that this would be really cute if sweeping up hay wasn't one of her least favourite things to do ever. I secretly know she thinks it's cute anyway so if she won't let me sit on her lap all the time (I just like to be close), then making a hay nest is the next best thing!"

P.S. I'll be replying to comments on your sweet blogs this evening! Sorry that I'm a little behind I'll catch up soon I promise! xoxo

New Purchases: Hell Bunny Anchored Skirt & Vintage Shirt Dress.

Last weekend I discovered the vintage/vintage inspired clothes section of eBay (I know, I'm totally late on this one!) and I fell in love with so many things! It makes a refreshing change from the high street for me where everything is super short or completely see though. I just don't have the figure for things like that and I also feel like my style is changing a little. Recently I've been really inspired by vintage fashion bloggers, specifically Esme and the Lane Way who is just stunning, and now I'm all about filling my wardrobe with pieces that really suit my body shape, not just things I love but will never wear.

I wasn't really looking for anything in particular so I just started looking through and one of the first things I saw was this striped shirt dress, it was love at first sight. I love the preppy feel, the short sleeves and it fits like a dream which I'm super happy about! It's about knee length on me which is perfect and I like how I can wear this in the summer on its own and with tights when it's a little cooler.

Also sticking with the nautical theme, as soon as I saw this Hell Bunny Anchored Skirt I knew I had to have it, it was the sweet anchor details that sealed the deal I think! Hell Bunny is now a brand I wish I had known about sooner and I have so many things on my wish list already, specifically this Adelaide skirt! I purchased from Attitude Clothing's eBay store but they also have their own website here. Shipping was super fast and I can't recommend them enough! I'm so so so excited to wear this, when it finally stops raining! 

Have you found your style has changed a lot over the past few years? 
Do you always buy clothes that suit your body shape or have you been guilty of buying something that has been hyped up in the bloggersphere too?
