What's New Pussycat?

ASOS Sunglasses - HERE

I find it impossible to find sunglasses that suit my face shape and when these little beauties caught my eye on the ASOS website I thought it was worth a try (free return delivery and all that!) I prefer tortoise shell over black glasses for Summer and the cat eye detail makes them feel a little vintage - for £12 you can't ask more than that!

They arrived a week or so ago and haven't left my face since. Even though they're now a little wonky from being sat on...I couldn't care less...this is true love!

If you're not subscribed to my YouTube channel  you may have missed the hefty Primark haul I did a couple of weeks ago. I picked up some absolutely amazing pieces to bulk up my Spring wardrobe and  if you haven't been to your local store in a while I definitely would recommend it!

All That Glitters

Fedora - Miss Selfridge similar HERE

T Shirt Dress - COS (gift)

Shirt - H&M similar HERE

Boots - Matalan similar HERE

Nails - Barry M Matte Black HERE

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!

As The Crow Flies

Cropped Jumper - Primark similar HERE and

Belt- Primark

Dipped Hem Skirt - New Look similar HERE

Boots - Matalan

I wore this outfit to a late "Christmas" party the other weekend. Paired with a slash of dark lipstick and messy hair it's suddenly become one of my favourite outfits of late.

Yes I know it's similar to my previous outfit post - monochrome ft a white, cropped Primark jumper - but I just love how simple and effective it is with the contasting colours, textures and lengths between the jumper and skirt.

You could pair this basic combination with converse and a messy bun or a fedora and fishtail plait to style it up or down.

Rings - Ebay HERE

Of course no outfit is complete without accessories and for this I matched my belt buckle to my rings for gold accents.

These rings. There are no words.

I saw Kavita from She Wears Fashion wearing a similar set and managed to get my paws on these ones from trusty old Ebay! FYI the "one size fits all sizing" is liessssssssssssssssssssssssssss...half of them are too big for me, so to avoid them flying off my fingers mid-twerk I squeezed some of them tighter with pliers. Sorted!

TARTAN 3 Ways: Date/Drinks/Work

Let's talk tartan trousers.

It was love at first sight but as soon as we were home together I questioned my decision to embark on a relationship with something I wasn't totally comfortable with.Normal statement trousers are a daunting prospect enough, let alone a bright red, slightly fluffy pair. I took them on test run dinners and drinks paired with t shirt,jumpers and crop tops but it wasn't until I spotted this silky, boyfriend style t-shirt in New Look that I knew I'd made the right decision. And we lived happily ever after...(not that you can tell from my miserable expression)!

T shirt - New Look HERE

Trousers - Primark

Shoes - Matalan

Necklace - Primark

Bag  - gift

The plain colour and boxy fit of this t shirt really contrast with the bold print and heavy texture of these trousers and the whole look is pulled together with a statement gold necklace to match the accents on my bag and shoes.

In my opinion this outfit is pretty versatile and could easily be worn out for date night, drinks or a works do. To wear it during the day I'd switch the necklace for rings and the metallic courts for smart pumps all pulled together with a chunky cardigan or scarf. I've already considered pairing the trousers with sequins, clashing prints and tailored shirts so be prepared to see a lot more posts featuring these in the next couple of months!

How would you style these statement trousers?

Twenty Four

Dress - Missguided HERE

Boots - Matalan (v v v v v old)

Cardigan - New Look (last year)

On Sunday I turned 24. As I'm getting on a bit I decided not to have a heavy night out clubbing 'til the early hours but instead to spend the day mooching in the sunshine with my family and our little bundle of scruff Hector!

If you're going to spend the day mooching, you need to be comfortable and this Missguided T shirt dress is made for just that! I ordered both the black and the white the other day and I know that they'll become a staple for the rest of the summer. They're really good quality, made of thick cotton with roll sleeves and a ribbed neck and cost less than £16! Mine are 10s and the length is the only thing that I'm not totally sold on as there's no shape to these dresses at all, the mid length could lead to a serious case of frumpery if I'm not careful. I think the white one will eventually be turned up a couple of inches...eventually... 

These dresses are made to throw on and they hide bellies full of birthday cake - it's a double thumbs up from me! I'm also lusting after this one from MG and this one from Never Fully Dressed. 

The pendant necklace I'm wearing was a gift from my parents, a little bunny looking at the moon, fitting eh?!

Rings - the usuall/DIY post HERE

Nail Varnish - Bourjois So Laque "04 Amande"

Hope you all had a beautiful weekend and thank you for my birthday wishes! 

What do you think about t shirt dresses? Love 'em or hate 'em?

DIY: Above Knuckle Rings

The plain, silver above knuckle rings that I was wearing in my latest Primark haul video got  lotta loving and I thought I'd be good citizen and share their sneaky secret! 

5 Plain Silver Above Knuckle Rings - DIY

Others - Gifts/Primark/River Island

Nail Varnish - Barry M Gelly "Greenberry"

Above knuckle rings seem to be ridiculously overpriced in the shops at the moment and as someone who loses rings on a daily basis I refuse to pay £8 - £15 for a ring that will go missing next Saturday night. But I needed to get me paws on some of these rings, so I had a little think and ... BINGO!!

And now for the secret...these dupes are simply large jump rings, normally used for jewellery making! 

Would you have guessed?!

The only thing that gives them away is the join in the ring but that sits on the underside of my fingers anyway so no one is any the wiser! 

To decide which ones to order I measured the rough circumference of my middle finger and ordered these 18mm ones off Ebay. They fit perfectly on my second and middle fingers but are a little looser on my ring finger...meh. If you're worried about the sizing I would opt for a mm or so smaller than you think you need but make sure the rings are "open" so you can open or close them as you wish to fit each finger. I've lost a couple but at less than £2 for 20, that's hardly a problem!

So there we go! The secret is out and now you can all get some of these DIY beauties for yourselves...no one will ever know...

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

Shorts - H&M 

Boots - Ebay similar HERE and HERE

Love Will Tear Us Apart - OOTN

This dress is flying round the blogisphere at the moment! Every single blogger and You Tuber in their right mind has got their hands on one of these badboys and I for one can completely understand the hype. They cost £12, fit like a dream and have a Topshop worthy print that flatters every complexion!

My dress had it's first formal outing the other night when we headed out for my boyfriend's birthday supper, and it passed the food baby test with flying colours!

Dress - Primark

Boots - Matalan HERE

Lipstick - Kate Moss for Rimmel no 107 HERE

I've seen it worn with heels, hats and collars but I decided to wear mine with my current favourite stompy boots. They were a bargain buy from Matalan and I've been living in them for the last month or so. They have cut outs at the heels which I'm not a fan of but if I wear them with plain black socks only the eagle eyed would notice!

Do any of you have one of these dresses? I'd love to know how you'd style it!

OOTN: Watch The Sun Come Up

We walked along the beach to get to the evening reception venue atop a cliff over looking the sea. It was going to be a long night full of food, dancing and celebrations so I needed an outfit that would last me until the sun came up!

Those of you who watch my you tube videos may recognise the shoes and dress from two different Primark hauls and the Primark obsessives amongst you may have an inkling...but I can confirm...this whole outfit is from Primark!

Dress - Primark £12

Clutch - Primark £2 

Cuff - Primark £3

Shoes - Primark £12

Check out my Youtube Primark hauls -  HERE and HERE

Partying with members of the Italian and Greek elite and fashionistas in head-to-toe Primark is a risky move as it may not be a "dirty little secret" but it's not really classed as a revered fashion house! But no one rumbled me and a couple of guests even commented on how much they liked my outfit...*smug smirk*...mwahahahaaaa if only you knew!

One of my favourite outfits EVERRRRRRRRRRRR I know this dress will be a staple for this summer! It's one of the most beautiful printed items I own and the shape is divine, Primarni I salute you!

  

Daddy S rocked a traditional dapper English gent look in a linen suit and blue shirt.

The party was incredible! Elegant, glamorous and stylish complete with personalised cocktails, suprise fireworks, an amazing soundtrack and mouth wateringly good food...nom nom lobster risotto...nommmmm. We had a whale of a time and didn't get home until breakfast time!
