Funny Looking Angels

Jacket - vintage 

Dress- Topshop

Converse - Office

Lipstick - Revlon Black Cherry 

You may or may not remember me...it's been a while...

This is not only my first post of 2015 but also my first post for the last 6 months or so, whoop! If you're interested to know what I've been up to, check out my Youtube channel for a little update video which will be coming shortly!

But you've not come to hear about life and general mundane waffle...let's cut to the chase and get down to the clothes...

Now stop me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure I do say this about 99% of the outfits I blog, but I really mean it this time...this outfit is my ABSOLUTE DREAM. It's grungy, girlie, practical and a little bit sassy all at once! 

The dress was a bargain in the Topshop sale a couple of years ago. It's an absolute fairytale of lace and chiffon with a high neck, but for someone with a reasonable bosom and gut, it's definitely got the potential to turn you from floaty fairy to bundled up pudding...! 

To err on the side of caution and avoid any pudding-style scenarios I paired it with this oversized denim jacket, converse and gothic lip. The whole look just seems to pull together into a satisfying eclectic mash that would be perfect for pretty much any occasion from work to play!

p.s. I've missed y'all, hope you had the most amazing Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2015 is going to be good, promise! xx

Peppermint Penny

Jumper - Topshop

Pleather Skirt - H&M

Plimsolls - New Look

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!

1,500 Pennies

Fedora - Topman sale similar HERE

Cardigan - Charity Shop

T shirt - COS

Leggings - H&M (old)

Converse - Office

This cardigan might be my best EVER charity shop find! 

I spied it whilst browsing through the Bristol charity shops with my sister over the Easter weekend and was instantly smitten! From the colours to the oversized shape and the fluffy texture of the knit, it's perfect and only cost me a measly £15!!

I like to think I don't own many "marmite" love/hate items...but turns out this definitely is one. Although I couldn't think of anything more beautiful it has actually made some people gag!

Are you a lover or a hater?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I know it's a bit late but I hope you all had an amazing festive period and are getting ready for your New Year celebrations!

I've spent the last week at my parents house in Wiltshire celebrating Christmas with my family. It's been lovely but I've eaten far too much cheese and chocolate and am now getting ready to get back to work and reality. With my return to real life comes my return to blogging! 

I bought myself a beautiful xmas present which will hopefully improve the quality and frequency of my blogs and you tube videos so watch this space! In the meantime please do check out my relatively festive video on my current favourite bits of drugstore make up HERE

Happy New Year and I'll see you in 2014!

Dance To The Beat Of My Heart

Dress - Primark

Coat - Charity Shop

Boots - Topshop Attitude Boots ( v old)

Thanks Gawd it's Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday! This is exactly the kind of outfit I would wear for drinks or dinner with friends on an evening such as this. The dress is another beaut from my most recent Primark haul (video HERE).
Yes it's another Primark skater dress but I love it! This one has slightly longer sleever and a Burberry esque monochromatic heart print and it's such an easy piece to dress up for a night out or dress down for work.

Necklace - Zara HERE

Such a simple dress,coat, boots combination has to be pulled together somehow and this Zara necklace does the trick and brings a little festive spirit. I'm not going to lie...I hate myself for it... but I did end up taking it back...it's beauty is undeniable but I just couldn't justify £30 for a necklace. Pretty sure it will end up on my Xmas list so fingers crossed for a future reunion!

Have an amazing weekend!

Stitch and Bitch

Fedora - Miss Selfridge HERE (black sold out online)

Cropped Jumper - Primark

Trousers - Primark

Heeled Brogues - Topshop (sale)

Necklace - Zara HERE

Ohhhhhh yes, more tartan!

I picked up this beaut cropped knit from Primark the other day and perfectly with my high waisted trousers. My midriff is a whole lot chunkier than I would like but I guess flashing the flesh won't be appropriate for much longer at this rate, so I'd better make the most of it!

On another note...this necklace makes me dieeeeeeeee. I spotted it on the Zara website the other day and decided to head to Oxford Circus to view it in the flesh in the hopes that I wouldn't like it and might save myself the money! But I just couldn't resist it... In real life it's a lot chunkier than on the website and the silver is a lot more dull and antique looking...it's amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. I'm left £20 lighter but I couldn't give a damn!

This outfit is one of my all time favourites for Autumn and I'd wear it with flat ankle boots or pumps during the day time or with courts in the evening.

What's your favourite piece of statement jewellery?

TARTAN 3 Ways: Day

Fedora - Miss Selfridge

Jumper - Topman (bfs)

Dress - Primark

Socks - Topshop

Pumps - Topshop

For this daytime look I used my Primark dress as a base layered with a classic burgundy knit and topped with a fedora. Knee high socks with tartan can be a little risky but paired with flats they are a cool alternative to tights before the weather turns arctic and flashing some flesh is totally out of the question! This isn't the most flattering of outfits but it's ridiculously warm and comfy, perfect for running errands or a lazy day at home.

Autumn is all about layering and a little flash of tartan makes any outfit a little more festive and in my opinion you can never have enough of it. I've got my beady eye on a couple more pieces to add to my collection : this skirt from Missguided, this dress from Boohoo and this suit (blazer & trousers) from ASOS. A girl can dream...*sigh*...

Hope you've all had a beaut of a weekend! D and I have just returned from our weekend in Blackpool so keep a lookout for a vlog on my YouTube channel later this week!

TARTAN 3 Ways: Night Out

My photographer/boyfriend has finally returned from his Thai travels just in time to take a few snaps of my current favourite trend...tartan! 

If you watched my September Favourites video (HERE) you may have seen me waffle on about my love of tartan and a couple of my favourite Primark pieces for Autumn. This trend can be a little hit or miss and has the potential to turn you into a Scottish reprobate so I thought I'd show how I would style my two current faves for different occasions.

Dress - Primark

Clutch - Primark (last year)

Tights - M&S

Boots - Topshop (last year's Attitude boots - check Ebay)

 I picked up this dress waaaaaaaaay back in August (video HERE) and fell head over heels as soon as I spied it's little capped sleeves, Peter Pan collar and bold tartan print. For £15 it's an absolute steal and the word on the grapevine is that a green and black version should be hitting stores soon...!

Styled in the wrong way this dress could get you a one way ticket to St Trinians so I wore it with my trusty studded clutch and super high, super chunky black boots to try and "grunge" the whole look down. From the little research I've done, any kind of tartan dress is bound to get you cat calls and schoolgirl references on a night out, so ignore any pisstakers, wear your tartan with pride and let your inner William Wallace shine through.

How would you style this dress?

p.s. Keep your eyes peeled...eww...for this little number making a reappearance later in the week as a daytime look!

London Fashion Week #1 WIWHW

This post is a little deceiving. If you've clicked on it to check out all the London Fashion Week street style snaps and usual outfit spotting antics of other bloggers...you're in the wrong place.

WIWHW stands for "what I would have worn"...

Sunglasses - Ebay HERE

Coat - Charity Shop

Dress - Charity Shop

Boots - "Attitude" boots from Topshop HERE

Body chain - Primark 

So this is WIWHW for a daytime session at LFW! 

A coat was a necessity. This year the weather was awful and I noticed that although plenty of fashionistas started Day 1 in bralets and cutouts, by Day 3 they were all wrapped up in fedoras and knitwear!

Pastel colours are all the rage for outerwear this season apparently, so my staple cocoon coat would be both a practical and fashion conscious choice especially when paired with my paisley maxi dress which practically screams "Russian folklore/hippy chic". Sunglasses are an obvious must have daaaaahling (these bug-eyed beauts were an absolute Ebay bargain) and of course statement shoes are a must. These boots aren't the most comfortable and I wouldn't want to spend hours traipsing the streets in them, but for a couple of hours they would definitely be bearable enough! 

Finally a LFW outfit wouldn't be ready without the addition of some kindy of "quirky" accessory, I decided to play it safe and go with my Primark bodychain. What do you think of my daytime look?

Fingers crossed that maybe one day I'll actually get to go! In the meantime stalking everyone's blog posts will have to do.

Here Comes The Clash

Top - Topshop sale

Shorts - Primark

Shoes - -Primark 

Sunglasses - Primark 

It's my belief that this top/short combination was always meant to be together in a beautiful patterned matrimony. They travelled from two opposing fashion brands to find each other in my wardrobe and create a faux playsuit of my dreams. 

You can't help but to notice the navy colour and checked print reflected through each piece that led me to bind them together in an eternal union of clashing happiness. Hurrah for pairing prints with prints, long may this relationship last!

OOTD: Baby Batman

Now don't hate me...I own the most amazing crop top in the wooooooorld!!

I picked it up from Primarni the other day and I'm in lurve - I'm sure you can see why...

Batman Croptop - Primark

High waisted Jeans - Topshop

Studded pumps - Topshop

Sunglasses - Primark

This was what I wore on Saturday for running errands and doing DIY in the sunshine. Jeans were definitely a bad choice though as it was hellishly hot! 

This week has been horrendously busy at work hence why I've been totally useless with blogging recently. Poor excuse I know but meh. 

Speaking of superheroes, I went to see Superman/Man of Steel the other night - errrrr hello there Henry Cavill! Fit as a fiddle with the most incredible teeth I've ever seen, this boy is hawt to trot. I didn't think I could love him anymore until I saw who he was dating, only Penny from the Big Bang Theory (most favourite programme everrrrr)! Watch out Kimye there's a new power couple in town. 

What have you all been upto?

Bloggers Lookbook: May 2013

The Little Magpie - Getting On ABit 

Photo belongs to Amy - http://amybell-thelittlemagpie.blogspot.co.uk

Amy's blog is one of my absolute favourite reads. The outfits she wears on a daily basis are always totally unique and eclectic pulled together with statement jewellery and amaaaaaazing hair but this post really stood out for me. 

A DIY safety pin dress that Liz Hurley would be jealous of, cut out boots and a fedora for an all-black beaut of a look in themselves but mixed with cowboy jewellery and a to-die-for kimono...top of the class Amy! 

Sara Luxe - Choies Choice

Photo belongs to Sara - http://www.saraluxe.com When I was younger I wanted to be a witch. Sadly this was not to be, but if it had been, this is exactly the kind of stylish all black outfit I would wear! 

Sara's looks are always effortlessly cool and she mixes slightly "out-there" pieces with high street staples in a way which turns me green with envy. This little dress with cobwebby type shoulder detail paired with chunky lace up boots and quirky glasses is still making me dribble a month later!

LLYMLRS - Celia Birtwell x Uniqlo 

Photo belongs to Lily - http://www.llymlrs.com

Anyone who follows Lily's blog will be aware of her undying love for monochrome outfits. I'm not a massive fan of the look on myself but Lily pulls it off with aplomb by choosing unusual pieces and accessories to add to otherwise simple outfits. 

This look is my all time favourite posts of hers. Those incredible trousers are paired with a plain cold shoulder t shirt to keep all the focus on their print and vibrant colour - love love loveeeeee Lily! 

What do you think of the bloggers looks I've chosen?

OOTD: 21st Birthday!

It was my little sister's 21st birthday on Saturday, where has the time gone? Swear she only turned 18 last year!

We all went down to take her out for a grown up lunch in Bristol. She's bang in the middle of exams at the moment so the mega birthday blow out will have to be postponed 'til June sadly!

Coat - Ebay 

Top - New Look (previous post)

High waisted jeans - Topshop

Boots - Ebay

Bag - Matalan (only got the white ones left online but I'm pretty sure that the black ones are still available in stores)

Nail Varnish - Barry M Gelly in "Satsuma"

Rings - Forever 21, my shop, New Zealand, birthday gift

Totally in love with my NL breton tops that I featured in a previous post, they're so comfy and versatile! 

My coat is a Zara wannabe from Ebay - it is a pretty good replica and I'm happy with the way it looks but the materials used are very plasticky (definitely prone to sweating if it's a little warm) and the delivery time from China was over month...but for a fraction of the price of the real thing I guess I can't really complain!

Had a lovely three course meal down at the harbour side and had a little wander round Bristol to help our food digest! It's such a wicked city and definitely worth a visit if you haven't been before. Groups of students in fancy dress getting rattered at 2pm...my kind of place!

Can't believe she's 21!!

Do check out my Primark Haul video I made the other day and let me know what you think, if you haven't already - click here for link

I got some proper pictures done for this outfit post. What do you think?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend
