Last night I went to see The Lion King at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool with Danielle & Gabby. Lion King is my whole childhood I was so obsessed everything I owned was Lion King & it was the only thing people would buy me for my birthday, Christmas. I think I probably watched it everyday & cried.

I think I've only ever seen the first Lion King in English once when I went to see it in 3D a couple of years ago. (I cried all the way through it, when the music started my eyes were streaming with tears) I watched on tape in Chinese! So it was a bit weird when I watched it in English to realise oh that's what that is in English even though I did understand it. On that same tap was Pinocchio & Snows White and the Seven Dwarfs also in Chinese. I've only ever seen them in Chinese.

Kelly went to see it last week & told me I might be a little disappointed since I've seen it in Disney World Florida which is slightly different as it's more aimed at children where as this one is more artistic more towards adults.

I'd say at first I was a little but it is a really good show. There's not much to give away if you've seen the film & know the story it's just shown slightly different with some of their own twists added to it. It's been getting great reviews in the newspapers, online etc.  

Our seats weren't great we were right at the top second to last row but you could see everything but there was NO leg room. My legs & knees were SO sore I just couldn't get comfortable & wore the wrong pants which didn't help! It was also really hot. Apart from that the show itself was really good & would so recommend you go & see it, they still have tickets left & is on till the 5th July. I only got mine 2 weeks ago so just check online or go to the box office!

It was acceptable in the 80's...

 It was acceptable at the time...

All things Vintage!

It turns out my mum had some really cool clothes in the past & that she was actually skinnier than what I am now! Which is hard to believe as I'm always asked how am I so skinny & that I need to eat more etc.

It's funny how fashion always repeats itself. You think something is new but it turns out it was in fashion like 20 years ago! I'm glad my mum is a bit of a hoarder & has saved all these beauties for me! I wouldn't be able to find all these in a vintage or charity shop! So if you have some old clothes now which are "out of fashion" I'd advise you to NOT throw them out as for all you know it'll be in again in like 10/20 years time!

Vintage black blazer with shoulder pads

Vintage Tapestry blazer with shoulder pads

High waisted vintage Lee Shorts. These were too big on the waist so I had them taken in on either side of the waist.

When my mum first showed me these I actually didn't want them & said they could go to the charity shop as they were too big & are quite baggy around the bum area but aren't that bad when they're folded up. I decided I did like them & want them, luckily my mum hadn't given them away & still had them & now they're my favourite pair or shorts I own  (own a lot of shorts, I'll save my shorts collection for another post) as they go with everything & anything! Bare legs or tights!

High waisted vintage shorts. I also had to get these taken in at the waist as they were too big!

I actually at first prefered these to the Lee shorts but I think I like them both equally as much but probably prefer the other!

High waisted vintage denim skirt. I actually haven't worn these out yet as I'm not a fan of how long it is so I've folded it up & quite like it. I want to cut it to this length but I'm too scared to as I change my mind a lot even though I really don't like how long it is! I might just sew it in case I ever do change my mind.

Vintage baggy dunagrees. These are massive around my waist as I have a tiny waist so I've not had a chance to wear them out & look a big strange when I put a belt to sinch it around the waist..

High waisted felt skirts. I've not worn either of these as I'm not a fan of them...

High waisted brown shorts. I think I've only worn these once or twice as I'm not really a fan of brown but I think I'll start wearing them more as I've found a good way to style them!

Vintage blouse with shoulder pads. I've worn this before in a previous post here

Vintage scarves

This a collection of all the vintage things my mum has given to me. As you can see I don't like all of the things & not had a chance to wear them all but I do love vintage things especially things with shoulder pads in! I love how fashion repeats it self so you don't always have to splash out & buy new things!

You should ask your mum/nan to see what they've managed to save from "back in their day" they might have some amazing gems which are fashionable now!

Hello! Sorry it's been a while since I've last posted! Just haven't really had anything to post about & been quite lazy just going to uni, not doing much!

I've been doing a lot of baking though! I've baked 10 things so far this year! I have tried to make the perfect cookies about 3 times though. I'll do a post about my baking tomorrow with some recipes that I used :-)

This was today's outfit... I wore my mum's tapestry jacket which I absolutely love but don't wear that much as I don't want to ruin it by getting it dirty as it's dry clean only & was a gift to my mum. It's a blazer with shoulder pads! I like shoulder pads as I have pretty small shoulders meaning bags ALWAYS fall off my shoulders which is really annoying but by having shoulder pads makes them broader which I love!

I wore it with just a plain black top under with my layered Pull & Bear necklace & leather look jeans & leather biker boots as the jacket is a statement piece that stands out as it is & didn't really want to pattern clash.

 I bought these jeans from the Zara sale yesterday. £7.99 reduced from £29.99 which I thought was really good! They had quite a few pairs left & had different patterned, cord, suede effect ones too. They're comfier jeans as they're not denim. I like the fit & pockets which are pretty big. They're super skinny & luckily have zips on the ankles so you can get your feet in!

I also bought these Vans as I might have a job working in a Chinese Restaurant that my mum is starting to work at too, & I'll be helping out for their opening this Sunday.

I actually don't own a black pair of flats so had to buy these! I don't even know why I don't own any! These are also my first pair of Vans & thick soled shoes! They're suede & are comfy, hopefully they don't give me blisters & don't hurt as I'll have to do a lot of walking in them. I got them from the Schuh sale which you can get from here 

I've never worked in a restaurant before & don't think I'll be very good! As I'll probably end up dropping food as I'll have to do it quite quick which I'm quite scared about! I think they might take me on as they're quite desperate for staff & I can do with the money!

I've just had a look at the Rihanna for River Island collection online now & can't say I'm a really a fan! I don't think there's anything really that stands out to me that I really want.. All the skirts/dresses are very Rihanna with the leg split which she's been sporting a lot lately!
You can have a look at the collection yourself here
Let me know what you think, do you like it? Anything you want?

I really need to get back into blogging properly, hopefully I'll be able to have some time to post about my baking with some recipes tomorrow & maybe about all my mum's amazing vintage clothes I've got at the weekend!
