Winter Blues

Hat | Primark

Top & Skirt | H&M

Necklace | Lost At Sea Jewellery

Boots | Unif

This weekend's weather has officially been miserable, wet and just generally crap! It can be so easy to get into a routine of wearing jeans, boots and jumpers when the weather is constantly like this; don't get me wrong it is extremely comfortable and looks nice, but can be a bit repetitive and boring after a while.

 So I have been trying to jazz up my every day outfits and found this long maxi skirt a winner for replacing my trusty skinny jeans! It obviously isn't as warm as jeans, but is a great alternative when going shopping indoors or out for lunch. Teamed with a sparkly high neck crop top and my trusty platform boots and i'm good to go.

With the weather turning and already having suffered from a nasty cold, I have noticed my skin isn't looking too great lately. I love a good highlighter and felt this is what my skin needed to bring it back to life! (As well as a face mask from Lush) So after rummaging through my make-up box for some inspiration I came across my Benefit Rockateur blush powder. I haven't used it in a while so thought i'd give it a whirl! I'm so glad I did as I forgot how great this highlighter powder is. Just one sweep over each cheek is all that's required to get an instant natural glow.

Coachella Dreaming

Necklaces | Blackmoon Shop

Left Hand Rings | Primark & Norbu

Right Hand Rings | Primarks & Blackmoon Shop

I don't know about everyone else but seeing all the lovely pictures from Coachella last weekend has got me dreaming of holidays and festivals! I've acquired some amazing jewellery in the last couple of weeks which goes perfectly with all my summer outfits.

Blackmoon shop have kindly sent me some amazing jewellery, including all the necklaces i'm wearing in this post. If you're looking for bohemian/grungy jewellery then Blackmoon Shop is the place to look! I've layered my necklaces and jewellery up to really get that festival/boho vibe.

Now let's talk about my amazing trousers. They are the comfiest things in the world! At first i wasn't sure i would be able to pull off the wide palazzo trouser look, as i feel it can make you look dumpy if you are short like myself. However, worn with a fitted crop top to balance the loose fit trousers out has surprised me, and i feel like this is a perfect outfit for my holidays, with the added bonus of it being super comfy. I'm definitely going to invest in a few pairs of these!

Last but not least, i have been thinking about trying burgundy eye shadow for quite a while after seeing lots of amazing pins on Pinterest. I'm not the most adventurous person when it comes to eye shadows, however i'm a pro at winged eyeliner! With my eye shadow i normally stick to browns, and i'm definitely no pro when it comes to blending. However with this eye shadow i literally just swept the one colour over my eyelids and that was it; so much easier than i thought! As my eye shadow was quite dark i wore Limecrime's Cashmere on my lips, my favourite nudey lipstick at the moment.

Do I dare say that summer is officially here in the UK? A bold statement but I think it's safe to say the weather is looking pretty sweet for the foreseeable future! So as the weather was so gorgeous this Easter bank holiday I slapped some tan on and got my pins out in this beauty of a dress; yes it isn't the most summery of colours but the tassels and suede material made me feel like a bohemian princess! The tassel details are right up my street and is going to be a perfect outfit for my jollys in 5 weeks time too.

I wore it with my chunky white heels and dark red lipstick to give it my staple grungy look, along with stacks of silver rings of course. One item that i intend to add to this outfit though is this amazing little vintage style bag from Asos; this is going to be a perfect accessory for my holiday wardrobe too!

November O.O.T.D

I have to say winter is my favourite fashion season of the year. So i was rather happy when the weather took a winterly turn this last week or so! Thick wooly knits are everywhere and i can't get enough of them (i've already bought 3) but my favourite winter outfit so far this month involves the comfiest, snuggliest, warmest, thickest, wooliest jumper EVER. I literally haven't stopped wearing it since i got it...

Jumper - Missguided

Jeans - Topshop

Boots - Unif
Hat - Boohoo

Necklace - Topshop

Rings - H&M, Regal Rose, Topshop

I wore this knit on Bonfire night and it was fab! I felt toasty warm and stylish at the same time, which i think is sometimes hard to achieve. I've been wearing it with my new Unif Choke boots to add a bit of grunge to my outfit. If i had to design a boot these literally would be it! They took a while to wear in (as my work colleagues know all about!) but we got there eventually and now they are actually quite comfy. I do love a good black ankle boot or two!

I Was Just Totally Clueless

                                     

  Tartan Two-Piece - Love Too True

Boots - Office

Necklaces - eBay/Etsy

Rings - Shop Dixi/H&M/Topshop

Metal Hair Cuff - H&M

Nail Polish - Topshop

As a mahoosive fan of the classic 90's chick flick "Clueless" I was more than excited when the girls at Love Too True sent me this amazing Clueless inspired hand made tartan two-piece, I am so in love with it!

I wore it in London last week and received so many compliments. I believe there is nothing on the high street quite like it, which is why people took such an interest! I wore it with black knee high socks true Clueless style, and grunged it up with buckled ankle boots, dark lipstick, lots of jewellery and my trusty leather jacket.

The founders of Love Too True Laura and Gemma, started their own clothing range when they realised there wasn't many jobs around once they left uni. Taking inspiration from famous fashion trends throughout the 90's such as Clueless, Madonna, grunge, tartan and velvet, the girls behind Love Too True have created some truely unique and one off designs. As well as striving to be a unique clothing brand, they also believe that fashion should be accessible to every girl, which is why their clothing is priced realistically.

Their A/W range will be launching in the next few weeks so make sure you have a nosey! I've already got my eye on this gorgeous black fur handbag...

Autumn Love

 

Top & Trousers | Topshop

Shoes | Jeffrey Campbell

Necklace | Primark

Rings | Primark, eBay, H&M 

Autumn is finally here and i'm so happy about it! I love A/W clothes and i have been pretty excited to be putting my winter wardrobe together.

 

The first edition to said wardrobe are my BEAUTIFUL Jeffrey Campbell shoes, which my lovely boyfriend bought me for my birthday. Jeffrey Campbell haven't had much out recently that has got me super excited, until i saw these. As well as making me about 6 inches taller i love the fact that they will literally go with everything in my wardobe. They are also super duper comfy (honest!).

 

My other exciting buy is the leather trousers. I have been after a pair since last winter, and have failed miserably to find a pair that fit me right. So ofcourse Topshop finally came to my rescue! There isn't much give in them but it's not like i'm going to be doing the splits in them any time soon.

 

Finally i am extremely impressed with Primarks' Limited Edition jewellery range, which is where my necklace is from. I do have to be in the right mood to shop in Primark, but it's so worth it when i come out with gorgeous bargains! It goes perfectly with my velvet top and looks way more expensive that it was(It was only £8!).

So i have been off my blogging a lot recently; starting my new job has took a lot of getting used to but hopefully i shall be blogging a lot more from now on!

 

Hope everyone's having a good week :)

I really love how my new shoes go with pretty much everything I own. They give me a much needed height boost and are EXTREMELY comfortable too. The cardigan is also a recent purchase and is great for this time of year when it's just starting to get warm enough to leave the house without a jacket! It's super comfy and again, goes with pretty much anything.

I added the neon vest top to brighten up this outfit and jazzed it up with a nice big chunky necklace. I have had my leather-look leggings foreverrrrrr, and they never fail to add a bit of texture to day time outfits! I have however been on the hunt for leather trousers so I can actually wear short tops and t-shirts without having to worry about covering my derriere up like I do in my leggings. I can't find any that fit me right and for a reasonable price, so if you know of any skinny leather-look trousers then please let me know!

I know I have been mostly blogging outfit posts lately, so if you would like me to blog about something different then your suggestions are most welcome. I find that personally I am most attracted to outfit posts when I browse other blogs, but if you want to read something different then I am more than happy to vary it up a bit :)

Today I am blogging from Gotherburg in Sweden, so here is my first outfit post abroad! I'm visiting my boyfriend on tour and this is my last full day with him.

I have to say I really love this city, all the guys look like Zara models, the streets are clean, the sun is shining and everyone sits outside drinking wine, what more could you want?

I am gonna keep this post short and sweet as I am now off to have another drink in the sun :)
