Company Style Blogger Awards 2014

On Wednesday I had the privilege of attending the Company #StyleBlogger Awards at the Oval Space in East London! 

It was an amazing evening spent in the company of all those incredible bloggers I've been following for years, #fangirling all over the place! 

MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my blog - I was shortlisted for an award and although I didn't win even being nominated was such an achievement for my teeny little blog and I honestly couldn't have got this far without the support from my readers & viewers. It honestly still baffles me that people are actually interested in what I have to say so thank you so so much for your support - means the world to me! *sob*

As unorganised as I am I totally forgot to charge my slr and hardly took any pictures, but did manage to bring along my point & shoot to capture some "vlog" footage - cue much shaky camera work and blurry film - so if you're interested to see what we got up to, do check out the below vid! 

Over the next month or so I'm having a complete life overhaul and so many things are changing. I will be doing a video on it asap so please keep an eye out on my YouTube Channel for that but for a heads up I will be absent from my blog for a month or so until everything settles down again..but I'll still be on my Instagram(abritishbunny) so check that out if you fancy keeping up with me!

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...

Ghost Stories

Cardigan - Primark 

Dress - Primark 

Bowler Hat - Primark 

Knee Socks - Primark 

Boots - Matalan

The other weekend Dan and I headed up to London for a little date night. We went for a drink then headed over to the Arts Theatre to watch "Ghost Stories" (website link HERE). If you haven't heard of it it's pretty much a horror film on stage...I don't want to give anything away but it's completely different to anything I've ever seen and both Dan and I loved it! Tickets aren't too expensive at all and we'd both highly recommend it if you're stuck for date night plans!

My outfit is pretty much head to toe Primark but that's nothing new! It's a  simple outfit based around my new denim skater dress and cardigan, but I think swapping tights for knee highs and topping it off with my bowler hat make it just that little bit more interesting.

What do you think?

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!

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.

Urban Mermaid

Skeleton T Shirt - Primark similar HERE 

Checked Shirt - Primark (mens)

Sequin Skirt - Motel Rocks (last year) 

Boots - Matalan 

Sequins, skeletons and lumberjack plaid...doesn't sound like a winning combination but I kind of love it!

This really was a last minute "thrown together" outfit for a night out in Brixton. I wore it when we headed to Hootenanny's for a night of dancing to celebrate one of my best friends birthdays the other weekend. It was an amazing night and this outfit was the most perfect combination of party/gig wear!

What do you think of this mashed up outfit?

3 Years and Counting...

Sequin T Shirt - Matalan

Jeans - New Look similar HERE

Boots - Primark similar HERE

Fedora - Miss Selfridge similar HERE

Scarf - ASOS similar HERE

This is what I wore to celebrate mine and Dan's 3 year anniversary. I don't think either of us can honestly believe that it's been that long!!

We decided to go out for a low key curry HERE and it was totally amazing! Apparently the Beckham clan ate there a couple of weeks ago (there was plenty of photo evidence) so if you're ever in the area do check it out as it comes very highly recommended.

Date night is a chance to dress up so I popped on this sequin t shirt (from the Matalan sale last year) and my ripped New Look jeans. Paired with my faux suede chelsea boots from Primark this is the most perfect outfit for a celebratory curry evening!

Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday evening! I'm spending the weekend at my parents house in the country and am currently wrapped up in my onesie, in front of the fire, waiting for The Voice and Take Me Out...#perfectsaturdaynight
