The Maxi



 Karen Cutaway Thigh Split Maxi Dress in stone Boohoo
  
Hello it has been a long time. My schedule has been crazy and although I have managed to attain a lot of content I was unable to blog- as there were not enough hour in my day.

So to cut along story short I went on holiday! Take a look at my instagram page petrinajadei for any holiday styles you may or may not incorporate for future holidays. 

So this was all about a lot of flesh. I wore the dress to a pool party held at our resort. The material was amazingly light weight and was not clinging to my skin in the Portuguese heat. As I had no intention of wetting my feet. In all it was a lovely family evening and I cannot wait until out next adventure. 

Until then obrigada Portugal.

The Cut




Jumper Playboy for Primark// Ripped Jeans Zara


Today was my customising day.....literally the day were I will throughly go through old clothing and place ones I no longer want in a charity bag for an amazing charity called Clothes for Charity. Today was my partners clothing clean out.....and low and behold did I see some amazing items. One being this Playboy jumper from Primark that he had never worn. After asking his permission to have and cut the jumper, I went to work.

As I was using kitchen scissors and not shearing scissors I had quite a job to do. Luckily I had a natutral guidline and was able to keep a steady hand. Now as many of you know Londons' summer has been truly unacceptable! The sun has hardly made its presence known. Due to constant changes in the temperature from high to low not high to high, this jumper is my go to. It keep me warm during the summer nights and cool throughou the day.

For anyone who is reading this and interested in customising clothes I would recommend you start of with a small project like this. It is low in costs and effective. Give it a try and dont forget to tag me in any custom designs via instagram.

Black Summers...


                           



                         
                                        Top Zara // Skirt H&M // Shoes Public Desire // Bowler Bag Zara

So today as per usual was a dinner night but, with the in laws!!! By chance my other halfs dad finally accepted the offer to take him out for a dining experience at Duck and Waffle. So I decided to go all glam for the occassion. I recently found this amazing stenciled crochet top from Zara during their sale and paired it with a long grey skirt which I have had for years and my Public Desire lace up shoes in Kalia as the lace up design contrasted amazingly well with the top.

Lipstick worn was Mac Smoked Purple and Nightmoth Liner.
