Hiya everyone! Hope your doing well & I'm glad that your back on Fashion&Tingz to see more fabulous fashion finds! These photo's were taken by talented photographer Niqolas who I work with for the Fashion&Tingz online store! We decided to get together one afternoon & take some streetstyle pictures! His work is absolutely incredible, you can check it out here: www.flickr.com/photos/Niqolas

Black & gold is such a fabulous combination & I'm totally in love with my over the knee boots! I think there just a timeless classic that will never really go out of style! I've been searching online EVERYWHERE to try & find some to include in the post & it's almost impossible which is very disappointing. I think it's because summers coming & they are more of a winter boot but oh well, I wear them all year round!

Oversized & Fabulous!

I've noticed the weather in the UK is getting slightly warmer! I don't want to get too excited though because us Brits know that whenever we get our cute little summer dresses out with excitement the weather plays a joke on us and we get soaked with rain! So I'm still sticking with my winter wardrobe for now! I decided to pull out this stunning vintage coat I bought years ago! It's actually a men's coat and it is ridiculously HUGE on me but I cant help but LOVE IT!!!! When I tried it on in 'Noahs Ark' charity shop I got a few strange stares! The first reason they were staring is because I walked over to the men's section & the second reason was because I put on this coat and I looked pretty hilarious in it! I was wearing converses and jeans at the time so the coat was basically dragging on the floor and the arms were hanging off my wrists!

HOWEVER, I do have a few tips on how to transform something huge & shapeless, I DO IT ALL THE TIME!

1. Roll up the sleeves! It immediately adds a very cool & relaxed approach to your outfit! & nobody will be able to tell its too big!

2. Add some killer heels! Heels spice up any outfit & usually gives us girls confidence! So put those heels on and stand tall ladies!

3. Add a statement broach! Broaches look incredible with a vintage coat! & they make your outfit look so expensive when really, it isn't!

So that's what I do when I find a coat in the men's section that I just cant live without! Vintage shopping is all about seeing the potential in an item. At first it may look drab but just be creative and see what you can transform it into! Don't be afraid to shop in the mens section, I'm always buying menswear... coats, shirts, jumpers... who actually cares! Fashion is for everyone and if I like something I will buy it regardless of who it was initially targeted for! So ladies, get in your boyfriend closets and see what you can take! Just see it as a gift to yourself for all those times he made you sit and watch football instead of your favourite reality show!

CREDIT CRUNCHERS!

I'm in such a good mood today, well I'm always in a good mood but today I just cant stop smiling! I went to my favourite vintage thrift shop and took part in a photoshoot for their website! I was just helping out with the models but I ended up getting thrown into the mix to do some modelling also! I've been posting quite a few vintage peices recently and I usually get lucky finding them from carboot sales, charity shops, markets and the odd vintage shop but 'CREDIT CRUNCHERS' is probably the best vintage shop ive ever been too. Why? I hear you ask. Well the variety is amazing! Theres denim, furs, army prints, flannel shirts, chunky knits & so much more. The second reason is because they have super unique peices that you wont find anywhere else!

CREDIT CRUNCHERS are based right outside the Birmingham Bullring! So if your from Birmingham or surrounding areas and your a vintage lover like me then you need to take a looksy! And if you need to drag someone with you, I'm your girl! I havent met any of my readers yet, I have on twitter and instagram but I would love to meet some of you face to face! Plus I'm the friendliest person you could ever meet. So if your taking a trip to credit crunchers then feel free to reach out to me so we can meet up, have a startbucks & chat about FASHION & OTHER TINGZ!

The scarf I'm wearing was a present from my best friend who travelled around Thailand and brought me lots of goodies! She brought me this beautiful detailed scarf that worked perfectly with this shoot. She also got me a few other bits and bobs that I will be featuring on the blog soon!
