What I've been up to...

Woohoo it's the weekend...boohoo to the weather though, See I don't mind the cold it's just the hair ruining rain, seriously how is my hair meant to look even half acceptable in this?! I am currently writing this post from the comfort of Josh's bed whilst he has gone to the gym, leaving me all snug, a cup of tea on the bedside cabinet and a 'Dairy box' next to me, now that is what I call breakfast in bed.

 

So here's a bit of what I've been up to over on Instagram, which I'm becoming obsessed with, I could literally spend hours getting lost on Instagram, lusting over outfit posts, new in trends, décor inspo...all sorts really.

 
I really do try not to use filters on my photos, I much prefer to just take pics in good lighting, I'll only brighten the picture up if you can't see detailing or the lighting hasn't caught what I'm trying to take a picture of properly.

So in the top left hand corner is my new hair do, the extensions are out and I'm going cold turkey... for as long as poss, it's hard and I have to keep telling myself 'natural is better natural is better' and I really want to take good care of my own hair.

I am so in love with this unicorn money box from New Look, not that I'd use it as a money box (I'm awful at saving) I'm so gutted I didn't buy it, but I seriously don't have anywhere to put it, I've got so many candles and pretty things, I'm trying to work out where I could put more shelves and as soon as they are up this unicorn will have a saved space for sure.



Anyways, I'm off to Fratton park, to 'have a beer and do some crowd chanting' haha and then for a TGI's catch up with the girly's tonight...yumyum.

Have a lovely weekend...

Mixing it up

Ok, so I'm not complaining about the sunshine we've had today but is the weather going to make it's mind up some point soon?! does it not realise the stress it causes me when getting ready in the morning, don't know whether to wrap up or go easy on the layers and I get changed at least 3 times before leaving the house.

 

Who says you can't wear summer pieces/prints in the colder months?! I actually bought this Boohoo Jumpsuit back in summer and unfortunately never got a chance to wear it, I wasn't going to let it just sit in my wardrobe with a tag on until next summer so I thought I'd team it with a little sleeveless black top from Topshop and some chunky Primark boots to give it more of an autumn/wintery feel. I've also already decided when it gets really chilly I'm going to put a black polo neck underneath and add a chunky scarf and jacket, the summery pattern and colours of the jumpsuit will really add to my winter wardrobe and work well with all the black I'll wear with it.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and maybe given you some ideas about re -wearing summer bits with added layers.

 

would love to hear your ideas.

Sister Sister

No no, this isn't me this is my beautiful little sister Lucy. A lot of people actually think we are twins, especially on holiday in our bikini's as we have exactly the same sort of body shape, long legs and not much in the boob department lol. There's actually 3 years and 1 week between us. Lucy is fashion mad like me and is constantly texting pictures of stuff she's buying in town or pictures of her OOTD for the big sister approval. So handy that we are both the same size, this means what's hers is mine and vice versa and if a parcel arrives and she happens to be at home whilst I'm at work, I'll get her to try the outfit on and send me pics... if it fits Lucy it fits me!

 

Lucy is wearing the bargain Primark denim skirt featured in one of my recent posts, she's teamed it with a plain cropped sleeve black top from Topshop and this beautiful light weight beige jacket from Boohoo. The tassel Primark bag she has gone for really adds to the outfit and is a good match with the top, tights, belt and shoes. The shoes are so on trend right now and were bought from Missguided.

 

I thought I'd feature Lucy today just to mix things up a bit! hope you enjoyed.

Leapord print love

I'd like to introduce today's stars of the show... my lovely leopard print wedges, Florence and Fred strikes again, I only go into Tesco for a meal deal but 9 times out of 10 some sort of item of clothing or shoes accidentally fall into my basket and then I just feel obliged to give them a loving new home in my wardrobe. Also these were £6, how could I leave them on the shelf?!

 

The beige jacket is a little H&M in Las Vegas find, its suede and is definitely going to come in handy when the colder weather comes our way..eek, there's something about the cold weather that gets me feeling all festive and cosy, not to mention craving hot chocolate.

 

Everyone needs a denim skirt in they're wardrobe surely?! I know they do a version in Topshop but I came across this Primark bargain and I really don't think it looks all that different. Can't wait to wear it with tights and a chunky jumper. My top is a golden oldie from Topshop and I can not wear it without feeling the need to wear a red or purple lippy.

 Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday, I'm currently at the boyfs with a roast on the way later!!

Pretty in pink

Pink on pink....my kind of heavennn, not to mention the different fabrics going on, faux fur and Faux leather. The cropped sleeve jumper from Primark is about 2 years old now but still going strong, although I have probably only worn this a handful of times as I don't think the colour suits me as well as I'd like it too. Now I'm not really one for skater skirts due to my long skinny legs, as I feel it can sometimes look like two bits of string dangling which can look rather un-flattering, but I could not leave Primark with out this little gem. The beauty of it completely distracted me from the image of 'two bits of string' and I do not regret it. Thank you Primark probably the only skater skirt I will ever own... unless anyone knows where I can get any other colours?! lol.

 

River Island take a bow... I am head over heels in LOVE with these knee high boots, I loved them last year but having moved out of my parents home and entering the big wide world of bills and budgeting £75 was rather a lot of money to be spending on a pair of boots. That's all changed now though! I'm back home with Daddy and in possession of these beauty's. They're not as tight as I'd like them to be (can you notice the skinny leg situation is a re- occurring problem?!) but they are the tightest I've found yet and I would sleep in these if I could. There is something about them that any outfit you put them with instantly makes you feel 'grown up' and sophisticated. Best £75 I've spent in a long time.

 

It would be rude to leave the quilted chain strap bag out because it basically lives on my shoulder outside of work. This was a charity shop find for £3 but originally from Knight and Lee.

Hippy vibes...

So I'm totally unleashing my inner hippy today man, and what perf weather for it! I am so so in love with these trousers from H&M in Paris. Flares are back...yesss! I have always been a flare lover, it's just something about the way they fit I think they can be so flattering, especially this sort of material, the only problem I find being a Daddy long legs, is I have to be careful I don't end up with the 'ankle swinger' look, nothing worse. The pattern on these flares is just beaut, such perfect colours for sunny days but I love the fact black goes well which will allow me to embrace the hippy vibes through the colder months too with jumpers and long sleeves, for now though whilst the sun is still around I have opted for this spaghetti strap crop from Missguided.

 

Now come on, no hippy outfit is 100% complete without some sort of head wear! I've gone for this plain black head band from Peacocks, simple but totally adds to the look, I love the way it gathers in the middle and with it being plain it allows me to add this Primark necklace without looking like I've got too much going on! My sunnys are an absolute EBay bargain, I think they we're like £3 including postage.. bingo!

Lunching and leather

First of all can we all just have a moment to take in the fact it is OCTOBER already?! like seriously, where is 2015 going?! although it's officially autumn I feel the weather is slightly confusing as you expect it to be a little chilly but the sun is definitely out to play meaning we don't need to reach for the knitwear just yet. Seeing as I never know how the weather is going to pan out from one min to the next, it makes getting ready in the morning a lot more tricky, a fine example being today... you'll notice a slight outfit change, I got outside and realised it was far too warm to wear long sleeve and boots.

 

So todays outfit started off with my all time fave leather look skinny jeans from Boohoo. (you'll see ALOT of these) As they can be a bit boring and well...black, I decided to jazz them up whilst still going for the casual look with a long sleeve stripy top from good old Primark and then throw another pattern into the works with this sleeveless jacket, which is in actual fact a button up dress from Tesco!! which I happened to come across whilst purchasing a BLT on my lunch break, I love that you can wear this 'dress' in a few different ways, and like the keeno I am I already have in mind how I'm going to style it when it gets all chilly and wintery.

 

 

 

 

Me and my Little sis went for Tea and cake to a lovely little place on the seafront called The Tenth Hole.. mm mm mm! there is so much to pick from and seeing as I eat just about everything, it made choosing from the menu even harder, but I went for the bacon and brie on bloom bread and of course I had to take home TWO slices of cake (Piggy, I know) berry cheesecake and honeycomb pie.

 

I hope you enjoyed todays post!
