Nail Varnish - Topshop "Venus Fly Trap"

So I realise that I've been a completely useless blogger recently...a thousand apologies...things have been absolutely crazy busy in my work, personal and home life over the last couple of weeks AND then I went to Valencia for a week so I haven't had time to breathe let alone blog, but now I'm back!

This is the outfit I wore for an all day birthday bbq last weekend and I love it! The cropped jumper is the first piece of clothing I've bought from Topshop in foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and, although I have no idea what possessed me to pair it with the least summery item in my wardrobe, I quite like the look of the soft minty knit with the structured pleather.

As it was a bbq heels definitely weren't an option so I threw on my New Look plimsolls. These have been glued to my feet since I picked them up for a bargain £9.99 last week and they're super comfy, perfect for dancing on the tables...but that's a whole other story!

I've got a couple of mega life changes coming up over the next month or so and may be pretty sporadic with my blogging but if you're at all interested to know what I'm up to, please check out my YouTube channel for update videos!

Hope you're all having a lovely week, fingers crossed for continued sunshine!

Tied Up Tight

Coat - Charity Shop

Cardigan - Primark 

T Shirt - Primark 

Trousers - COS 

Boots - Primark 

Bag - Mulberry (gift)

This is what I wore yesterday for a leisurely pub lunch in the sunshine. With the weather being so sunny but cold I really couldn't work out what to wear so decided to layer up with my favourite coat and snazzy new cardigan. 

This cardigan is a dream. I picked it up on a casual trip to Primark for a fiver...five little pounds...yes please!! It's a burgundy aztec print with fluffy texture, perfect for layering up in these colder months. I wore it round my waist Will.i.am. style for most of the day until the chills really did settle in. Be prepared to see a whole lot more of this bad boy as it's shot straight into my staples!

Paired with my breton stripe tee, waxed trousers and Primark chelsea boots this was the perfect outfit for bumming around in the sunshine. I actually filmed myself getting ready and will be posting it on my Youtube channel at some point this week so watch out for that!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It's 2014 and it's going to be amazing!

My main resolution for this year is to make myself happy. It sounds simple but with the impending doom of turning 25 fast approaching (August...still a little while...phew!) I'm not afraid to admit I've been going through a bit of a quarter life crisis. I've obsessed over how unhappy I am in my job, how empty my savings account is and how boring my eulogy would be if I got hit by a bus tomorrow...

Although it is a pretty depressing situation when all laid bare in front of you, it does also bring the realisation that YOU CAN do something about it and change all those things you're not totally satisfied with.

To cut to the relevant bit re blogging, this year I am 100% dressing for myself. Simples. I will no longer ignore that perfect kooky outfit that I've formed in my head for the same Primark skater dress and chunky boots that I wore 2 weeks ago, because I think my imaginary outfit might be a bit "out there"...bothered?

Coat - Charity Shop

 This casual outfit is something I would definitely have opted out of wearing a year or so ago.

There's a definite chance of a camel toe incident, my stomach is dangerously close to escaping through my jumper/jeans gap and frankly rolled trousers with converse make me feel like a boy...but I lurve it!

These Primark fluffy jumpers were the must-haves of last season and I got given this one for Christmas along with these amaaaaaaaaaaazing high waisted trousers from COS.

These trousers are the dream. They have a shine to them and almost look like leather but are made of a canvas style material coated with a waxy layer. I love the combination of the two textures together, one very girlie and soft and the other fitted and modern.

It's only baby steps outside of my comfort zone but it's a start.

What do you think of this boyish look?

Wear Flowers In Your Hair - OOTN

They say "less is more" but I don't consider that to always be the case. Sometimes more is more. Sometimes you need a little over indulgence in life, whether it's food, fashion or SATC reruns and that's a ok!

Today was one of those days and I wanted to wear denim, pleather, flowers and studs all at once! It's not to everyone's taste but so what?!

OOTN: Can't Touch This

Saturday night was the time to take my new Celine-style tee out for a spin! 

It's taken me a good month or so to get hold of one of these bad boys. They've been bombing round the blogisphere for a couple of months now and as a result have been sold out on Ebay but my bad luck stopped the other week and I'm now a proud owner of my very own version!

ALIEN IN A T SHIRT ALERT!

Trousers - H&M (sale)

Shoes - New Look (v old)

Collar - Morrocco

Spiked Necklace - ASOS (old)

Teardrop pendant - Xmas present

I teamed my tee with burgundy faux-leather trousers, courts and some serious neck armour. I've been seeing a lot of necklace stacking going on on Instagram and have been meaning to hunt down some cheap necklaces to connect together  when I have the time - it looks so freaking cool! Everyone loves a good arm party so why not let your neck have one too?

Just a quick heads up...whole body parties + vodka aren't such a good look...!

What do you think about of these t-shirts and stacked necklaces?
