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!

The Archtops

 

 

Dress - H&M

Boots - New Look (sale)

Socks - Primark 

Nails - Rita Ora for Rimmel "Oragasam"

Last weekend Dan and I took a little trip to Southend to watch our friends band "The Archtops" play. The weather was glorious and balmy when we left so tights and a coat weren't even considered...but at the seaside it was frigging ARCTIC and super windy so in hindsight it might have been a wise idea to wrap up!

If I'm honest, H&M may have been partly to blame for my lack of common sense and warm clothing. I picked up this little jem of a dress for £14.99 the other day and with it's chunky stripe print, shift shape and high neck it was too beaut to hide...

The gig was amaaaaaazing and we had the best night ever. There are no words for how musically talented those boys are, they had everyone up dancing and singing along in no time! They're playing a couple of wicked dates over the Summer so if you're at all interested, do check them out HERE.

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?

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...

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!
