London Sun

Blazer - H&M; Necklace - Zara; Jeans - Topshop; Shoes - Primark; Bag - Zara

First outfit post in foreverrrrr! My mum came to visit me in London for the weekend and kindly took lots of photos for me (love having a photographer, sooo much easier than a tripod!). On Sunday, we took a little walk around Sloane Square and down the New King's Road, popping in Zara on the walk down (oops!). I bought this little H&M jacket just before Christmas after seeing a few of the girls at work sporting it. I love it! I did think it was a bit too jazzy at first but I've got used to it now! I've teamed it with a black woven cami, black highwaisted jeans and a little pink and gold Zara necklace :) let's hope we get a few more weekends with this kind of weather soon so I can post more outfits!

Weekly Want No. 10

Finally I'm writing a blog post! I've had a long break over the winter, working full time means I have so little time to put into my blogging, & just as I was writing this post my flat decided it would blow all the fuses and not let me write it! The world is against me!!

Anyway, as little time as I have spent blogging, I have still been spending! I'm going to buy a pair of coated jeans next weekend and these skinny highwaisted ones from Topshop will be first on my hit list. I also really want to buy the H&M white and navy blouse, I love a blouse with a V-neck so this will be perfect! The Warehouse printed cropped blouse is also one of my favourites at the moment, it would look so nice with blue skinny jeans and patent nude heels for work in the summer. & Other Stories is fast becoming one of my go to shops, and the amount of times I've stood in there and debated buying this sheer jumper and black pouch is ridiculous! I'm also going a bit stud earring crazy, and these two pairs are my latest faves from Accessorize. The blue ones are amazing!

Hi guys! It's been a while since I did a wish list (and trust me, it's not through lack of wishing) so here's a little peek at what I'm loving at the moment.

I really want a roll neck jumper (this is without seeing what my neck looks like in one yet!) so I'm going to see if I can find this Zara one at the weekend, it has a gold zip all the way down the back too which jazzes it up a little! Also tempted to buy these false nails, they have a really pretty gold tip and I ammmm going out next weekend so maybe I'll treat myself, not like I need to!! These Accessorize earrings will be perfect for Christmas and New Year for yourself or maybe a little pressie for somebody :). I love this Missguided Swing Dress, it's made from a fabric with a slight sheen and would look amazing with black tights, black boots, a fur stole and perhaps this black bag from Mango. Selling it to myself already oops! Let's see how many shopping bags I return home with this weekend!

Cat in the Hat

 Blouse - Monsoon; Leggings - H&M; Bag - Zara; Shoes - Topshop; Hat - Miss Selfridge

Since I started full time work I've found that I never have time to take blog photos which makes me really sad :(! I also managed to pick a flat to move into with awful natural light, hence my fuzzy pics (ARGH! I have such bad luck with places I move into and lighting!). Hopefully you can forgive me on this occasion! It's so dark outside because it's absolutely teeeeeming it down with rain, yuk! So onto my not entirely weather appropriate outfit! My blouse is a little Monsoon number. I bought it for my mum and I've seen soooo many of the girls at work wearing it that I just couldn't resist. It's a crepe material with a lovely red and black all over print. I've belted it at the waist as being so short it comes down to my knees when loose! I teamed it with black leggings, black slipper shoes and my new Miss Selfridge floppy hat which I loveeeee! It makes me feel a million times posher (I am not posh in the slightest!). Feel a bit like I'm a Made In Chelsea girl. I can only dream!

Hope you're all well and thank you for continuing to read my blog despite my MIA-ness. Lots of love! :)

Kimono Love

Kimono - Missguided; Jeans - Topshop; Top - Glamorous; Shoes - Primark; Hat - Missguided

Sorry, I was definitely trying to be Millie Mackintosh in the first picture with my bowler hat! This Missguided kimono is absolutely beautiful! I love it sooo much! The fringe detail at the bottom adds so much, I can imagine wearing this with little black denim shorts and sunglasses as well when it's sunny on holiday near the beach (dreaming!). I paired it here with my Glamorous black cami, black Topshop Joni jeans and black flatforms. A little dark maybe, but the sun isn't shining at the time I'm writing this so it doesn't matter about being totally summery ;). The kimono also has a little wrap belt in the same fabric so it can be tied around the waist.

Giving You the Cold Shoulder

 Blouse - Forever 21; Disco Pants - Glamorous; Necklace - Accessorize; Shoes - Primark

I totally forgot that I had bought this blouse! I bought it mid-exams and obviously while chucking on any old jumper/top and jeans for the library everyday, put it in the back of my wardrobe and have only just found it now! It's from Forever 21 and has cut-out detailing. I know I called it a cold shoulder blouse in the title but it's not really, it shows the more flattering part of my collarbone (I have quite broad shoulders so I don't think cut outs suit me there!). It's fitted without being too tight and is fab for dressing down disco pants for going out for dinner or something :) I added my favourite Accessorize teardrop necklace for a bit of sparkle.

Return of the Disco Pant

 Blazer - H&M; Top - Miss Selfridge; Disco Pants - Glamorous; Shoes - Primark

Agh! So I hadn't worn my disco pants in forever until taking these photos, I forgot how tight they were but how much I LOVE THEM! For a boyish figure like mine, the high waist and clingy-ness is so flattering! I wanted to tone them down a bit to how I usually wear them on a night out, so opted for a Miss Selfridge peachy-coral cami top tucked in and a white tailored blazer over the top. I can't really bear wearing flatties with disco pants so I teamed with these black flatforms for a bit of extra lift but a helllll of a lot of extra comfort over stiletto type shoes! I wouldn't wear the blazer if I was going out to a club though, imagine the carnage, tears and dry cleaning bill....
