Outfit of the day from today; excuse my face I'm exhausted. I've been in London for the last 4 days commuting up from Bournemouth every day (4 hours altogether on the train, blah!). It's knackered me out. I should have really taken outfit pictures from the last few days but I've literally been too tired to do anything, I'm also slightly poorly with a cold, boo! 

This is my first time wearing this neon mint jumper from H&M it's such a good price at around £7 (couldn't remember exactly!) I've always been a fan of this colour and I think it compliments my hair colour nicely. I've teamed this with my leather-look skirt from River Island at £20 which was the best priced pleather skirt I found as others from Topshop and Oasis were around £50. The skirt is also a flattering shape on my body and not too poofy which I'm not a fan of. My tartan scarf is a go-to piece at the moment it's so thick and cosy and literally goes with everything... Hope you're all enjoying your week.x

 Hello hello my lovelies, not the most exciting of outfit posts today as it was a pretty lazy day for me. I went for a walk with the boyfriend by a River which was just delightful but super chilly, so in 'real life' I was actually wearing a beast of a parka, not-so-glamourous. This is the first time I've taken outfit shots with my new camera (Samsung Galaxy Ek GC-100) and they turned out alright actually. I can't complain, my only issue was lighting but I'll probably just take pictures earlier in the day! I may eventually change location as the background is rather dull, but for now this spot'll do! Excuse the random hair over the face in the first picture, I literally just noticed it and can't be ar*ed to change it.

I'm in love with my new Dripping CC Chanel dupe tee, it's from a company called Studded Petals who I recently discovered after browsing online. They have some awesome designs and for £11.99 you can't really go wrong! I also bought the Topshop Maddox biker jacket in the SALE (I couldn't believe it, it was a best seller for literally months!), so I nabbed that up at such a great price it would be rude not to, right? I'm also wearing my spanking new Leather converse which are just sexual, at £60 they bloody best be hah. Let me know what you think. x

I can't seem to get into the Spring Summer vibe just yet, I wonder why? I hear you asking... because it's so freakin' freezing in the UK. All I want to wear is monochrome. Here are a few of my favourites from River Island at the moment. A couple of the items are quite old but have been on my wishlist for a while, they are the waterfall jacket and the aztec fur trim cardigan. Sometimes I wish I didn't go through these websites because I always manage to find things I really want. This time round it's the flatform wedges, I think they are awesome. They'd toughen up any girly oufit which is a look I don't think I'll ever get over. The chain vest is also awesome, I think I saw one on Lydia at Fashion Influx a while ago and it looked sick! Also I've been lusting and needing a pair of long dungarees, they'd be perfect all year round, they're so 90's and you can't go wrong with that!

What are your favourite pieces?

From left to right: Mono Morrocan crop jumper: £38, Crop Tee: £10, Ragged Beanie: £15, Joni Jeans: £38, Bright blue textured grunge jumper: £38, Check denim leggings: £25, Nail varnish in Pool Party: £5, Premium Pini Tweed jumpsuit: £65, Aztec boucle shorts: £35, Aztec boucle jacket: £68.

I haven't done one of these in a while, so here are a few of my favourite items in store and online at Topshop at the moment. Topshop have recently launched a new style of jean called the Joni jeans. I've heard good reviews about these, they are super high waisted and don't have the dreaded double button at the top which the Kristen jeans have, bleurgh! (personal taste but I'm just not a fan!). I am going to be purchasing these on payday for sure. They have a vintage look and I think they would look awesome teamed with a plain crop tee. I also love the boucle co-ord jacket and shorts, I saw this combo when I was working in the Putney store and it's just stunning! It's a shame it's so pricey otherwise I'd be all over that. Another favourite is the Tweed jumpsuit, this would look so cute with a roll sleeve top, white socks and black boots. boom. What are you loving at the moment? 

Pay day here we come!x

Birthday Weekend.

Sadly, I turned 24 on the 18th January. My boyfriend Joe and I decided to go away for a long weekend in Cornwall. Pretty crazy timing as most people would probably choose to go in the Summer, but hey, we needed a break. It was a lovely lovely weekend away, we went to the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay, Lands End, Seal Sanctuary and The Eden Project. It was a jam packed few days, but it was awesome. We stayed in the lovely Nanpusker Lodges where the owners were really friendly, the cabin itself was delightful. It was all kitted out with everything you need, and were actually super warm. The hot tub was eventful, lots of fun (but not so getting out!). It's always nice to have a break from the norm and this was a holiday I won't forget. I have concluded that when I grow up, I'd like to live in a log cabin in the country by a lake, own a pony and work in the Seal Sanctuary,
cool? Thanks! x

In my shoes.

My first pair Angst from Topshop are an absolute steal at £35 in the sale.

 Topshop Adonis boots, £75 (on uniform they were around £27, too good).

Topshop Mighty boot, the most comfortable shoes ever £45.

Topshop Adios boots £50 (They have been reduced even further now, think they may even be £30).

 In the previous post I mentioned I had invested in some new shoes, well here they are... All Topshop yes. I work there and get 25% discount so it would seem silly not to right?  Also the cut out pair were on uniform so actually got 60% off which is just insane, I couldn't say no. I've posted the picture of my new socks too as they will look super cute peeping out of the cut out Adonis boots (second pair). I have yet to wear any of these beauts (apart from Mighty), I think they are almost too nice to be wearing to work everyday, so I'm waiting mainly for when I work up in London for a little bit over the period of the shop being shut. I've never been a big shoe person before, but I think I'm a late bloomer, I'm addicted already.

Check Matte.

Rimmel Pro Matte Top Coat- £4.59 from Boots.

I literally purchased this bad boy earlier today and couldn't wait to show you the effects. I saw the matte finish top coat by American Apparel and wanted to purchase it, but I think it's completely sold through and it was no longer available when I went on their website, so instead I found this cheaper alternative. You use it in exactly the same way as any other top coat and within seconds it turns any glossy/shiny nail varnish into a velvety matte finished one, which is just insane. It's the first time I've tried it, so I've only tried it with this one colour, but I'm excited to experiment. I think it works really well with the black, it would also look hot with some bling such as nail gems or studs added to it for an extra dimension. All in all I'm chuffed with this buy, and for £4.59 you can't really go wrong. I love all these cheap ways to spice up nails, they seem to be coming out thick and fast. Any other recommendations of cheap nail arty type bits?x
