    Monochrome Monday

    A couple of weeks ago I was sent a package from Premium fashion boutique, Black White Denim. They sent me one of their round neck long sleeved white tees. It’s a great staple piece for your wardrobe and I was happy to have received it as it was something that my wardrobe had been missing. It can often be hard to find good quality basic pieces like this. In the past when buying pieces like this, I’ve often shied away from white when the fabric has been too thin it ends up being near transparent. This Black White Denim tee however is very good quality, plus it’s super soft. It may be a little pricier than your average basic clothing purchase but like their slogan goes ‘Buy now, keep forever’ and this is definitely a good quality piece that will last.

    Another new addition to my wardrobe has been this faux leather black quilted backpack I bought from River Island last week. It feels like forever since I last shopped in River Island but at the moment they seem to have so many cute pieces in store, I may find myself popping in a lot more!

    I’d been looking for a new backpack for a while. Since getting back to the gym I got my first backpack to make it easier to carry my gym kit around. Since then I’ve been using my girly floral print Cath Kidston backpack, which is great but as I’ve been going to the gym more often, I decided it was time to get a leather look backpack that I could dress up a little more. When I spotted this black quilted one from River Island, it was perfect and so I had to have it.

    Yesterday’s look ended up very monochrome. I teamed my Black White Denim L/S tee with a polka dot mini skirt from H&M (similar here), some black tights (because it was sunny but not boiling), my trusty Underground wedges and a gold chain anchor necklace also from H&M (similar here). My River Island quilted backpack finished off the look and I was ready to meet my friend who also had a day off. We went for pizza and wine and then headed to Richmond Tea Rooms for more wine and a large slice of carrot cake each. I managed to survive the day without spilling one pizza slop or wine drop on my white tee, hurrah!

  • 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.

    It seems that the festive season is upon us and so queue the Christmas dos and holiday gatherings. With so many outings to attend and so little time for planning and outfit shopping, I think this month accessories will become my new best friend!

    On Tuesday evening I went out for a festive meal and drinks with LBD. I opted for a little black dress (which has been my go to piece as of late). I didn’t have much time to plan an outfit, so it was the easy ‘it will do’ option.

    As I feel I have been living in black lately, I decided to dress my outfit up with a bright turquoise necklace. I feel it made all the difference by adding a pop of colour to the look. I finished off my outfit with a pair of 80’s looking sheer black tights and a pair of black Jeffrey Campbell wedges. Not forgetting my Pearls & Lipstick clutch bag, a quirky eye ring and super cute star friendship bracelet off LBD.

    What I wore:
    Dress – Asos
    Tights – Primark
    Heels – Jeffrey Campbell
    Clutch Bag – Pearls & Lipstick
    Ring – eBay
    Friendship bracelet – H&M
    Necklace – H&M

  • 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
