All That Glitters

My love for t shirt dresses continues...

This glittery copper coloured one from COS was a Christmas present and already a definite staple in my wardrobe. 

Belted with a dark denim shirt for shape and topped off with my usual ankle boots/fedora combo this is the perfect outfit for a casual night out. When the weather turns bad I'll add thick tights and an oversized coat to keep warm...ready for anything!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

I Fell In Love At The Seaside

Tomorrow is my 24th birthday so I'm back at my parents house down south for the weekend. Our birthday tradition is to head to the beach during the day, take a dip, walk up and down the sand and then hurry home with fresh crab for supper...so that's what we did!

Shorts - H&M similar HERE

Scarf - gift

The weather was amazing so I threw on my beloved crochet shorts and a basic NL top for the day out.  It's such an easy outfit to throw together and can be easily layered with a cardigan and/or scarf if the sun goes in.

And yes...I wore wellies to the beach...don't knock it 'til you've tried it!

We go to the same beach every year but this year it earned it's own little celebrity status!

Anyone recognise it?

This is West Bay nestled next to the small fishing village of Bridport in Dorset. It's the location they used for the amazing series that was...Broadchurch! For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last couple of months Broadchurch was a murder mystery series on ITV featuring David Tennant and Olivia Coleman - like most of the country I was hooked and couldn't believe that our little beach had become a national celebrity! 

There aren't any signs of increased tourism or cashing in on the programme but they've still got the sign up at the "police station" and a window full of Broadchurch memorabilia

 in Jack's newsagents! 

Cardigan - Primark?

Loved this!

We worked up an appetite walking along the beach and taking a little dip in the sea *think of the calories, think of the calories* and then stuffed ourselves with scampi and chips on the harbour front with the seagulls! 

I'm not sure what our plans are for tomorrow but at the moment I'm curled up in my pjs watching "HP & The Goblet of Fire" with the fam and I couldn't be happier!

Hope you're all having a stonker of a weekend!

Coco Made Me Do It

Something came over me the other day and I found myself trawling Ebay for a snapback I could call my own! They're not my usual style at all but when I saw this little beauty I just couldn't resist.

Cap - Ebay similar HERE

Top - H&M

Shorts - DIY

Shoes - Primark

Snapbacks are so far out of my comfort zone it took me a while to press "buy now" and actually add one to my wardrobe. I wanted one that wasn' too edgy hipster or sk8ter boi and this one had me at first glance. Whoever Coco is, she's a legend and I'm tempted to invest in one of these matching tees too...maybe wear them at the same time...maybe not...

I took my new baby out for a spin at a BBQ and it went down a storm with my buddies. I'd like to try pairing it with little dresses and chunky boots but it's going to take a while to pluck up the courage!

Hope you all had a good weekend! I'd love to know how you would style this cap, tell meeeee!

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?! 

Headband - Primark 

Shirt - H&M

OOTD: Greek Beach Party

Top - New Look

Shorts - Primark 

Shoes - New Look

Sunglasses - H&M 

The final part of the wedding was the party on the beach on Sunday..errr...WOW! The happy couple had hired out a breathtaking bay for the party complete with bar and food stalls.

Having spent 3 days celebrating it was nice to relax with the friends we'd made throughout the wedding and we spent the sunny afternoon in and out of the sea, drinking cocktails and prancing round in our personalised wedding t shirts! 

So long Greece, it was a pleasure!

Now I'm back to England *sob* and work *sob*...meh. What did you all think of these posts? I hope they were interesting, back to normal English outfit posts against mediocre backgrounds very soon!

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!

T Shirt - Ebay 

Trousers - H&M (sale)

Shoes - New Look (v old)

Collar - Morrocco

Spiked Necklace - ASOS (old)

Name Necklace - mynamenecklace.com

Hamsa Hand - Morrocco

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?

OOTN: Flourescent Adolescent

On Saturday night I went out to a charity event with my boyfriend's family. The dress code was smart casual but I'm not one to pass up an opportunity to dress up to the nines!

I toyed with the idea of buying something new but then stumbled across this H&M beauty I bought last year. It's an amazing structured ombre dress covered with geometric shapes and patterns - a total show stopper! The fitted cap sleeves, tight waist and lantern style skirt make me feel a little bit as if I'm wearing a kimono but I love how the shape of the dress makes my waist look teeny weeny.

Dress - H&M

Shoes - Matalan

Clutch - H&M

I actually took the hem on the dress up 5cm as it was an odd length just above the knee and although I was worried it would change the shape of the skirt, it seems to have held it's form really well. 

The back has an interesting cut out with a single strap down the centre - it's different and the cut out isn't too big that you can't wear a bra with it.

Teamed with beautiful an super-cheap gold pointed courts and my RL patent clutch (freebie of course) I felt like a little fluoro fairy. Even the inevitable "drunken-aunt-at-a-wedding" dance moves I pulled out later in the evening couldn't make this dress look ugly!

Gawd, don't you just love it when you rediscover hidden treasures in your wardrobe?! These are the items that will keep reappearing in Facebook photos from time to time over the years but will continue to look fresh and exciting!

I hope you all had a good weekend. Don't want to jinx it but I have this sneaky suspicion that Spring is finally on it's way...

OOTD: A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing

Happy Thursday!

I know it's a little on the late side but here's another awkward outfit post to show what I wore to visit the "in-laws" on Sunday

Jumper - Charity Shop

Faux leather skirt - H&M

Tights - Marks and Spencer

Socks - Primark 

Boots - Ebay 

These boots are the absolute love of my life... 

A blatant copy of the Chloe studded boots or the Office Nighthawk versions but a mere fraction of the price at £25 inc p&p! I bought them back over Autums last year and can't remember which Ebay seller I got them from but there are links to similar pairs here, here and here.

 I know that everyone and their mum has a pair of these boots but honestly I've worn them religiously since last year and still love them to death. The soles have actually cracked due to serious over wear and I'm reluctant to show them to anyone for fear that the problem may be incurable and I will soon have to say goodbye to them *sob*

I picked up this enormous jumper from a local charity shop over the weekend - absolute bargain at £3.95 as it's made of angora-type wool and so snug for these chilly "spring"days. I'll do a post on my charity shop treasures soon as I managed to bag myself a selection of absolute beauties for next to nothing!

OOTD: Cross Your Fingers & Hope For Sunshine

Sooooo we had a glimmer of sunshine this weekend! Would it be totally unrealistic to hope think that Spring may finally be on it's way?

My Saturday was spent leisurely sipping Ginger Beer in a beer garden and catching up on all the girlie gossip. Perfect.

This my first outfit post and for some reason I look like an awkward hobbit - really not sure what's going on with the pointed finger either! A thousand apologies, sure I'll get the hang of this sooner or later...

T Shirt - H&M

Jeans - Primark

Belt - FCUK

Scarf - Thailand

Boots - Primark 

Rings - New Zealand and Thailand 

Nails - Topshop Gypsy Night 201

This is one of those simple but interesting outfits that can be thrown together at a moments notice and just the thing for a chilled out day in the sun. Pretty certain that none of it cost over £20 aswell!

I know it's Monday and you're probably all back to work too but hope you did manage to catch some rays and top up those Vitamin D levels over the weekend! When I'm sitting at work behind tinted windows the only way to get through it seems to be to dream about the summer sun, festivals and Pimms...mmmmm!
