  • Cocktails & Cake

    Cocktails & Cake

    The bliss of days off… On Friday the boyfriend and I had the day off together and so we spent it sipping cocktails and eating cake (perfect if you ask me). We started with lunch and cake at one of my favourite places, Richmond Tea Rooms, before heading to Whim Wham Gin Saloon for some delicious early afternoon cocktails. Carrying our way on into the early evening, we went from bar to bar sampling an array of tasty cocktails until we headed back for a little festive gathering at home.

  • Girl In The Red Coat

    Girl In The Red Coat

    It’s only eight days until Christmas Day and I can certainly say that I am finally feeling ‘Christmassy’. My presents are wrapped (bar a couple that I’m still waiting to arrive) and I’ve even been getting crafty by creating a few hand made cards. With more festive outings and gatherings ahead, I’m looking forward to getting even more into the spirit of things over the weekend.

    At the moment I’ve been living in this coat I bought from Asos. Not only is it a bold yet festive red, which I love, but it also keeps me super warm and the faux fur detachable collar is great at keeping me snug, especially on cold winter mornings. Unfortunately I didn’t do a very good job at neatening myself up for these shot and so the coat looks a bit creased and twisted but at least I was warm.

  • Whisky Cocktails

    Whisky Cocktails

    Last Saturday I spent the evening with the boyfriend and we went out for Thai food and cocktails at Chaoyophraya. I opted for a tailored look and went for an outfit I hadn’t worn before; Choosing, tailored trousers, a sleeveless shirt and a pair of black, gold studded heels. The only thing my outfit was missing was a black blazer, which is something I really need to invest in!
    I put on my favourite Illamasqua lipstick (shade Growl) and I was good to go.

    What I wore:
    Trousers: Mango
    Shirt: Lavish Alice
    Collar pin: eBay
    Heels: Kitsch Couture

  • Not My Boyfriend’s Jeans

    For someone who never used to wear jeans, you could say I’ve gone a little jean crazy as of late. For a long time it was strictly skirts and dresses for me but now I’m beginning to embrace the casual look and love wearing jeans.

    I’ve been buying lots of skinny jeans so it was an unlikely choice for me to opt for a pair of boyfriend jeans, but when I spotted these in Zara I was curious as to how they’d look on. When I tried them on I surprised myself and actually really liked them and as they were like nothing else I already owned I decided to add them to my wardrobe. I’ve had them since June now and worn them twice. They aren’t my go to jeans but I think they are great for when I’m in the mood for a slouchy casual look but still want to look stylish at the same time.

    Last night I went out for a meal at my favourite Indian restaurant with Damien. Because I knew I’d be overindulging on some of my favourite dishes, I was bound to feel bloated after it, so this seemed like the perfect outfit to opt for.

    What I wore:

    Boyfriend Jeans – Zara / T-shirt – H&M / Heels – Urban Outfitters / Necklace – EBay

  • Lavish Alice Sample Sale

    On Friday daytime I met up with LBD and we went to the Lavish Alice Sample Sale. I picked up a few items, including a tropical print blazer which I’d had my eye on ever since I saw LBD in it when she modelled their S/S 13 collection. I also got the shorts to match the blazer (it would have been rude not to). The shorts are a little big as they didn’t have my size left but as LBD suggested, I can take them up on my sewing machine to fit me perfectly. The 3rd item I got was a white jumper with snake skin print sleeves. Somehow I managed to try the jumper on in the roasting heat and although I was melting inside it looked great on! That will be an item that won’t be coming out of my wardrobe until the weather cools a bit though.

  • Summertime Sunday

    Last Sunday was another scorcher of a day. I went for food and cocktails with friends and thought it would be the perfect day to wear my funky print LuLu & Red dress. I’ve had this two piece dress and jacket for quite a while but rarely get chance to wear it. Originally the dress was much longer but I took it up on my sewing machine not long after buying it. I now regret doing that a little, as I now prefer my skirt lengths longer and as you can see on the photos this dress is very short! Nevertheless, I still love this dress and the print has cocktail recipes on it, how appropriate. It was a really hot day again last Sunday, when I wore this dress but it got a little breezy later on, so I was able to wear my little matching jacket too.

    What I wore:

    Dress & matching jacket – LuLu & Red / Boots – Urban Outfitters / Bag – Zara / Hair bow – leftover fabric / Hoop earrings – H&M
