You're like an Indian Summer in the middle of Winter.






















White Top - H&M
Burgundy Skirt - River Island
Earrings & Bag - Vintage
Watch - Marks&Spencer
Bracelet - Pandora
Shoes - New Look


Hello everyone! 


The sun finally decided to pop it’s head out one day last week, so I grabbed the opportunity and snapped my outfit. I absolutely love this top from H+M, as the subtle peplum shape is so flattering and comfortable to wear. The detailed stitching immediately caught my eye in the shop and with it being part of a 'conscious collection', I’ve only gone and done my bit to help the environment and what not… go me! 

I found this burgundy skirt from River Island that I bought years ago, and was amazed that I could still fit into… Nevertheless, the pair provide a stylish yet comfy outfit to wear out, especially to dinner, where peplums very kindly help hide bloated bellies…

Speaking of bloated bellies, I've started to go out jogging recently and although the initial thought is absolutely horrible, once I've finally convinced myself to go, I really enjoy it. Who knew a beetroot red face and wheezy chest would make me feel so great?! Definitely going to keep at it and build up my stamina. Currently I can only make it round my local park 3 times without collapsing in a heap, so will see how far I can run in a few weeks time! :) 

More soon!

Casual Tartan.












Black Top and Skinny Jeans - H&M
Check Shirt - Topshop
Black Patent Shoes - Topshop
Watch - Marks and Spencer
Bracelet - Pandora
Neckalce - Gina Tricot
Leather Bag - Vintage



Hey everyone!

I'm sticking to my comfy clothes this week, as British Summertime seems to have officially finished. It has rained almost everyday this week, so to cure my boredom, I've dug out the old Playstation and have been playing a mixture of old school games such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and Tony Hawk Pro Skater... three of the greatest playstation games ever if you ask me, so many childhood memories! Take me back to the days when it was more important to complete the next level, or collect all the hidden crystals, rather than completing several reports for uni or meeting coursework deadlines... Blehhhhh.  

I love my tartan shirt from Topshop that I picked up in a charity shop a few years back. It's always been a great piece to throw over a basic outfit to add some colour and slight grunge edge. I'm also wearing my new shiny shoes from Topshop. I usually hate it when people wear fancy shoes and no socks (minus ballet pumps) , but I was tempted to give it a go for this outfit, and I think it works quite nicely, also allowing you guys to see all shoe detail - pretty!

Anyways, must go, Crash Bandicoot calls...

More soon,

Plain and Simple.








Top + Black Jeans - H+M
Leather Bag - Vintage 
Daisy Necklace - eBay
Glitter Shoes - Zara 
Silver Bracelet - Pandora
Watch - Marks+Spencer



Hello Lovelies. 

Quick outfit post today! 

This is pretty much my go-to outfit when I'm super lazy and need to get ready fast! I'm so used to wearing black tights and dresses, that I forget how comfy it is to wear jeans, definitely something I'll be doing more often. I won this vintage 1950's style necklace on eBay a few weeks ago. The necklace has little white flowers, making it a perfect Summer accessory. Another vintage find is my black leather bag, which is the perfect size for all my belongings and a classic style that I can wear with everything. A nice plain and simple outfit, for a plain and simple day. 

More soon,

Ghosts.


 

















Skull Dress - H+M 
Glitter Jumper - H+M
Glitter Shoes - Zara
Belt + Bag- Vintage
Necklace - Oasis



Hello lovelies! 

It's a known fact that I love all things to do with skulls, so when I saw this dress in H+M, I knew I had to have it. And quite conveniently, this glitter crop jumper just happened to be hanging side by side, providing me with a perfect outfit. H+M, you so sneaky. Paired with my new glitter pumps from Zara, it becomes quite the colour co-ordinated outfit! 

My lovely friend Rachel gave me this necklace for my birthday this year. I absolutely love it as it's quite a modern twist on classic pearls, and the beads make me think I'm wearing Imperial Mints round my neck! 

The bag and belt are both from charity shops in Denmark. There was so many great little places with cheap goodies, it was an absolute wonder how I managed to get everything into my suitcase when it was time to leave - Thank god for suction bags! 

I like to think I'm getting back into the blogging swing of things so please check out my bloglovin' page, would be brilliant if you could follow! And of course the usual Twitter and Instagram follows would also be appreciated... Go on... Have a stalk ;)

Back for Good.














Dress-  Primark, Shoes - Topshop, Bag- Nica, Belt - Vintage, Necklace - Gift.

Hello everyone! 


Soooo… I know I said I’d start blogging regularly a few months ago but life got in the way. I’ve been working practically full time at a local restaurant, and now that I have some extra time on my hands, I thought I’d get back to this blogging malarkey.

Anyways, again, thanks for sticking around and let’s get back on it! So happy to be back to blogging, forgot how much fun it was! What y’all think of this outfit then?


More posts coming soon - I pinky promise this time!
