Pretty in pink.

Sunday, 19 June 2016








Pink has never really been my colour, at all. 

My outfit colour palette usually consists of black, white, grey, navy, khaki, burgundy and then maybe a little bit of camel or mustard to change it up a bit. However, recently I cannot stop myself gravitating towards all things pink. My wardrobe is now peppered with a variety of blush pink items, from shoes to bags, to tops to skirts and now this delightful satin tuxedo style jacket.

I saw it online and simply had to have it. 

It's a lovely lightweight longline jacket, which can also be worn as a dress or how i've styled it as a light summer jacket. I can't wait to wear it for after work drinks or it would be perfect for a wedding.

Unfortunately this jacket has now sold out online, but you can still get it in orange and sky blue.

Teddy.

Sunday, 17 January 2016











Teddy coat - Missguided. Neoprene top - Misguided.  
Flare trouser - New Look concession sale (similar). 
Trainers - Adidas Stan Smith. Fur scarf - New Look.    

How is it mid-January already? How? How?
I seriously feel like Christmas came, I blinked and now we're mid way into January.
And it sure is cold. Probably a good thing i've been stocking up on all kinds of coats.

I absolutely adore this camel shearling coat from Missguided. It's super cosy and surprisingly pairs so well with a multitude of different outfits. It's a modern item with a vintage feel.

Now, i'm not really one for New Years Resolutions, as I tend to stick to them for about 5 minutes (Oops, may bad!). But what I am trying to do this year is focus more on my blog. My posting schedule, or lack thereof, is pretty non-existent. I find working full time and learning to drive on weekends, it can be quite hard to find time to put in the effort this space deserves.

So..

With that being said. Going forward, I am hoping to post 2/3 times a week. And also give this space a little make over too.

Watch this space.

What are your plans for twenty-sixteen?

NYE.

Tuesday, 29 December 2015








Dress and boots: Both Zara (Sold out online, but currently on sale in stores).  Black Lipstick: Barry M.

Well hello there, my lovelies.

Did you all have a good Christmas? I'm hoping that you did. Mine was rather delightful, if you were wondering.

The only downside.. I now feel the size of a house (and a mansion at that!), due to the amount of food that I decided to consume. Not that I regret it one bit, but I am feeling the need to wear something loose fitting for New Year's Eve.

In general, I'm not one to venture into the city on NYE, it's usual a nice night in with the girls, a few bottles of wine and more food (The diet can start in January). And just because i'm not hitting the town, that does not mean I'll be lounging around in my pjs.

This dress is a perfect spin on an LBD. The white panelling and keyhole detail on the back, give it that little extra touch to make it something special.

What will you be wearing and what are your plans?

Pleather.

Thursday, 26 November 2015










 Dress: Zara. Clutch bag: Zara.

So, we are just on the fringe of December 2015.. How on earth did that little beauty roll around so quickly?

With December just on the horizon (next week in fact), this means the season of Christmas parties, festive meetings and indulgence.

It's safe to say, I truly can't contain my excitement.

When looking for that ultimate party dress, i'm a big fan of the delightfully classic LBD and
 on one of my many (daily) walks through Zara, I clocked this lovely pleather shift dress.

For me, simplicity is key. 
I love an outfit where there isn't a lot going on, so I can spend the majority of my time socialising, drinking and eating.. Cheese, olives, guacamole, bread (all types), cake, pasta.. Ok, I think i'll stop there.

Gig attire.

Wednesday, 18 November 2015








Dress: Zara.  Boots: Office (Old)(Similar).

Live music.
I adore it.

The atmosphere, the people, the music.. I love it all.

Tomorrow night i'm going to go and see The Fratellis in Nottingham and I can't wait. 

The perfect gig attire is something that enables you to jump around like lunatic when the moment takes you and this may be the perfect dress.

Stocked in Zara in shades of dark green, red and classic black. A delightful paisley bohemian number which looks dandy paired with over the knee boots in winter and sandals in summer.

Winner!

Knit.

Sunday, 8 November 2015












Dress: Asos (Daisy Street).  Mules - Zara (Old)(Similar).

There's a chill in air and i'm a wimp.

Solution = Coverage from head to toe.

This little number has been in my ASOS wish list for quite some time and when I saw it slip into the sale.. Joy filled my little heart. 

Perfect time too!

Another thing that is perfect for this chilly season.. The hair tuck. 
Very chic and more importantly.. Effortless.

Moto.

Saturday, 19 September 2015












Dress: Topshop (similar).

I do believe that you shouldn't use the term love, loosely. But when you know, you know..
I love this dress.

It makes me happy when I put it on.

I feel like it was made for me.

Do you ever feel like that about clothes? As soon as you see something, you just know?

I've worn it many a time since I purchased it (since sold out online unfortunately) and I can't wait to carry on wearing it through autumn/winter. 

So readers, you have been warned.. You'll be seeing this delight again!
