Do the Hawaiian wave (well if it exists).

Note I tried to dye my hair blonde, and well it went ginger. Hawaiian Top: Vintage, Necklace: Topshop, Shirt: Asos, Skirt: Topshop, Tights: ?, Shoes: M &S
When times like these have inspired the likes of Vivienne Westwood, there's no harm in saying no. Yesterday, I had a little family trip to Hampton Court, as my Granddad hadn't been for 20 years or so. I must admit after visiting Hampton Cournt 3 times or so before, I wasn't exactly that open minded to it. Though once there, I was in awe of all the renessaince paintings, frames, and deer heads (and no I'm not an Animal killer, just lovin' the english Herretaige style). Full of blooming tress that caress the gardens, it was a beautiful and picturesque site. Not only that, but after reading books such as the 'Other Bolyn Girl', I always seem to feel a lurking sense of gossip and scandal. Well I did experience a bit of scandal, I decided to wear tights that were too small for me. So therefore we ended up going back to the car park, and somehow managed to carefully snip the bottom half of the tights and then change back, still keeping all my dignity.
As for the outfit, it was not inspired by the trip. I'd been lusting for a Hawaiin T-Shirt for yonks, and then suddenly BAM out comes a whole rack full of £5(!!) Hawaiin shirts in Brighton. So whilst there a few weeks a go, I bought one. It wasn't until after buying the shirt that I then realised how on trend it was, with similar themes showing in PRADA SS11 and Dior SS11- so much more styling to come for this shirt. So I paired it with my leopard print skirt and Topshop Bird necklace- taking a leaf out of PRADA. Hawaiian shirts are notoriously known for bad taste, so I made the outfit more kitsch by adding the little dog embellished bag that my Grandma gave to me when I was younger. I have gazillions of Hampton Court photos, but I'll wait for more of a similar themed outfit till I share them, makes more sense.
Plus with all the bloggers youtubing at the moment, such as the wonderful STUDMUFFIN blog, I was wondering if you guyzz would be interested- I have some DIY tutorials that are awaiting to be shared. So as ever, any thoughts just email me at izzy.dot@btinternet.com!
Hope you all had a fab Holiday, on a Royal note I bought a tiara at Hampton court!
