Sunshine On My Window Makes Me Happy




Cropped Jumper - Primark
Anklet (worn as necklace) - The Bohemian Collective HERE
Dress- Primark
Converse - Office HERE

The weather in England has been absolutely amazing for the last week or so. Blue skies and sunshine pretty much every day! Annoyingly all my summer clothes are bagged up and hidden away for "summer" so I've been having to put together warm weather outfits out of my Autmn/Winter wardrobe.

This skater dress from Primark has already featured on my blog HERE and I was obsessed with this cropped jumper over the Christmas period (see HERE ) so I thought why not combine the two! I think the flouncy skater skirt of the dress mixed with the cream jumper really lends itself to spring/summer and of course a floral/cream colour palette is just perfect for this kind of weather. This kind of outfit could really easily be adapted for cold weather with ankle boots and black tights but I decided to tone down it's femininity with dirty ole converse!

Typically, having boasted about how amazing the weather is, whilst sitting here typing this up all I can see outside is grey sky and people putting up their umbrellas...

Laura Ralph





Two Piece - Laura Ralph 
Clutch - gift similar HERE
Shoes - Matalan similar HERE 

If you've seen my recent HAUL VIDEO you may have already seen this amazing two piece I got from Laura Ralph! I've been following her on Facebook for a while, biding my time and waiting for the perfect fabric to appear so as soon as I saw this beautiful grey oriental style print I jumped on it! The price for a trouser set is £35 inc p&p and as they're made to order there's an estimated ten day delivery time...but it's soooo worth the wait!

I ordered my set in a 10 - 12 and the only gripe I have is that the top is a little teeny for my 34DD chest so I would definitely advise sizing up if possible if you're on the busty side. The trousers are perfection and can easily be worn by themselves. They're high waisted, elasticated and suprisingly there's not even an inkling of camel toe! 

Originally I was planning to save this outfit for the perfect occasion but I've had it for nearly 2 months now and I just couldn't wait to wear it any longer! Ideally I'd be toned and tanned...I'm definitely not yet but I still love it and can only look forward to how much better it will look when I am in shape! In summer I want to style it with coloured accessories and a flower crown so you'll definitely be seeing this again. 

Do go check out Laura's Facebook page HERE to see if anything tickles your fancy! I'm already on the look out for a summer short set...

Country Girl Take My Hand

Dress - Zara (sale)
Boots - New Look (sale) HERE

Necklace - Bohemian Collective HERE (DIYed to be a necklace)

The weather was so amazing the other weekend when I was at my parents house that Hector and I couldn't resist heading out to the fields to take some outfit photos of my favourite new pieces. 

This dress was something I'd had my eye on for a while when I saw it on the Zara website a couple of months ago. Although it's not at all my usual style it really caught my eye. The price tag was pretty hefty so I put it to the back of my mind...until...I saw it crop up on Instagram for the sale price of £12.99... Cue frantic phone calls to friends who could pop to Zara as it had totally sold out online!! My amazing friend Lydia came up with the goods and managed to find me a size M (I'd say a 10-12) whch is a perfect fit! It's just as beautiful in the flesh as it was online and I'm so happy that I managed to get my paws on it. 

My boots are another sale bargain from New Look and I'll be putting up a haul video very soon which features these bits and other beauties so take a leaf out of our book and keep an eye out for that...!


I hope you're all having a beautiful weekend!

The Big Pink


Coat - "vintage"
Trousers - COS (gift)
Boots - New Look sale HERE 
T Shirt - COS (gift)
Necklace - Zara 



If 2014 was the year for stepping outside of my comfort zone this coat is one of the biggest leaps I'll probably take! 

Unless you've lived under a rock for the last couple of months you can't have failed to notice that pink coats have been THE trend for AW2014. Although I love the look of them I am reluctant to buy something that I may only wear for a season or so but then this little beauty came into my life...for free!
I'm going to call it "vintage" but it's a hand-me-down from my Granny. Having admired it over Xmas I was only too pleased when she casually passed it onto me!

It's bright pink and fleecy...really not my cup of tea but there's something about it that I was instantly drawn to. What do you think? 

Teamed with messy hair and a simple outfit I think it's the perfect nod towards the current neon trend for SS14 and yes I've finally jumped on that bandwaggon. Pink Ladies together.
