  • 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.

    What I bought:

  • 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

  • What A Fabulous Day For Sunshine

    Friday seemed to be the start of this fantastic heatwave we appear to be encountering. I took advantage of the heat by going out during the day for the first time (in what seemed like forever in England) with no jacket on! However I was travelling from one stop to the next lugging a mini suitcase and my weekend bag around, so needless to say I was still boiling in my choice of outfit but at least I felt fabulous.

  • ‘A Little Party Never Killed Nobody…’

    After a nice relaxing weekend away in the Lake District with my boyfriend, there was only one way to begin my week, with a party! Our friend was turning a year older, so of course we had to go out and celebrate with a meal and a couple of cocktails. Unsurprisingly a couple of cocktails turned into several and after going back to my friend’s apartment for more drinks at hers, we found ourselves making our way back out to party the night away.

  • Something New

    Today’s outfit made me realise I have been purchasing one too many items from H&M as of late, especially as all the items I wore today were bought on separate occasions. Recently I seem to find myself going into H&M at least once a week and never seem to come out empty handed. They must have really great subliminal advertising or something because I seem to be unable to walk past without going inside…. Everything in today’s outfit was bought on sale and I hadn’t planned this when I got dressed this morning, nor had I planned to be a walking advertisement for H&M. Anyway the cost of today’s look came to a grand total of £19. Not bad hey, not bad.

  • Barcelona

    This weekend I went to Barcelona. One of my best friends, Lydia, who I have known most of my life, recently moved over there. It was her birthday on Friday and so I thought what better excuse to take a trip there for the weekend.

    Although I’ve visited Spain many times it was my first time in Barcelona and I couldn’t wait to get out there and see the sights and enjoy some great food and wine with a dear friend.

    For the trip I had to pack strategically, as I was only taking hand luggage (I know how brave am I). Something, which many will know, is a hard task for me as I’m the girl who takes a suitcase to stop somewhere for one night. Luckily enough though, I managed to fit everything I needed in my small black case and to below the hand luggage max weight of 10 kgs… Most of the stuff I had in there was black, as the colour seems to have invaded my wardrobe as of late, something which I am in the process of changing! Having mostly black clothing in my case helped though, because I knew with little room, at least everything I was taking should work together as outfits. It gave me the opportunity to mix and match if need be. I managed to limit myself to three pairs of footwear (An arduous task for myself); I packed a pair of plane black wedge shoes for the evenings, my funky zebra print vans for the day and I wore my Underground wedges to travel in.

    Although I was only there for two nights we managed to fit a lot in and Lydia was every so kind enough to make an itinerary of the weekends events. She sent it to me before I went so I was able to pack appropriately.

    On the Friday I was up at 4am and in a taxi to the airport by 5am. I wanted to be comfy and warm for my journey so I travelled over in my black Underground wedges, black leggings, baggy long sleeved skull top, a black hoodie (previously my boyfriend’s, now mine!) and my leather bomber jacket. The day before I had also made a new black clutch bag for my travels, from my brand Pearls & Lipstick (Website is opening soon). I put an extra pocket in this design, which perfectly fits my passport. I also wanted something that I could use throughout my trip, as I needed to travel light. The size and design of the bag meant I was able to use it throughout the weekend and with it being black it also went with everything. I made it to fit my mini Ipad, coin purse, travel documents, passport and also a book and any other small bits if need be. This is the first bag I’ve made in this particular design, and as I’m happy with the result I shall be making more to sell ready for when the site is open.
