Firmoo

Thursday, 11 February 2016








Dress: Mango.  Boots: ASOS.  Sunglasses: Firmoo*.

A little bit of sunshine has me doing crazy things.. Like going bare legged. 
I shan't lie to you, I totally put on a pair of jeans after these pictures were taken (SorryNotSorry).

I adore denim, whether it be a delightful pair of jeans or in this case a dress. Denim is a classic staple to any wardrobe and something that everyone loves. I found this lovely number when perusing in Mango whilst waiting for a friend. I sized up when buying this because I can wear it as shown here, or I can wear it as a lightweight jacket.

Now, when it comes to sunglasses I'm such a sucker for a mirrored lens. 
This pair were kindly gifted to me by a company called Firmoo, which is a online optical specialist who offer prescription and non-prescription lenses to their customers. With a wide range of products at a competitive price point, there really do offer something for everyone. I found their website easy to use, the customer service was brilliant and even better.. After placing my order, they arrived within the week! 

So, now that I have a new pair of sunnies, it's totally ok to use them as an excuse to book a holiday right?!

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?

Moto.

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!

Goodbye Summer.

Tuesday, 15 September 2015








Dress: Asos (Similar).  Sandals: Public Desire.

As I invariably cling onto the remnants of summer, I find myself gravitating towards sandals and dresses.
Not quite weather appropriate, as it unfortunately gets colder and colder. 
But fine for those no-make-up-and-top-knot-days.

Although it's getting colder, I must confess that I am quite excited for autumn-winter.
Autumn is my favourite season, as the colours are simply exquisite.
I already find myself lusting after mustard toned coats, charcoal boots and cream polo necks.

Layering is an all year round favourite trend of mine.. And now I can't wait to go all out!

Whose with me?

Metallic.

Wednesday, 26 August 2015








Lipstick: Maybelline Colour Drama. Dress: Asos (Sold out).

Material. I adore it. If i'm not layering item after item, then I usually chose one piece that has swathes of fabric.

I saw this dress and knew it was so 'me'.

Whenever I put it on, I feel like I could've stepped out of a nightclub in the 80s. All I need now is bigger hair and even bigger accessories.

*P.s. Standing on wood bark with bare feet... Not the most comfortable experience*

Mules.

Thursday, 23 July 2015










Top: Daisy Street via ASOS. Tube skirt: Topshop (old). Clutch: New Look (Old)(Similar). Mules: ASOS.

When I was younger, I never ever understood mules. I just didn't 'get' how they would stay on and why you would want half a shoe.

Oh how things change!

I love a mule now. I do.
In fact, I have several (or more) pairs in my collection.

What items have you grown to love?
