Weekday Jeans

Hello! I have to start by saying, it’s been a while. Yes I have very much neglected my little space on the internet over these past few weeks, which is something that has frustrated me at times but I think my reasons have been somewhat justifiable, as work has been really busy at the moment and when I’ve not been shooting, there’s been lots of long days and late evening spent at our house doing D.I.Y and finally we’re starting to see things take shape and it’s slowly starting to come together. Although we still have a lot to do (it’s definitely been the biggest project of our lives so far), we hope to finally be getting in our house very soon and I cannot wait!

Anyway, onto the outfit post and I finally made a couple of summery(ish) additions to my wardrobe. I absolutely love these Weekday jeans that I got from Asos. I tend to struggle finding the right fit with jeans and usually just live in the same couple of pairs on repeat. Not only do I love the fit and style of these jeans but I also love the fact that they are made from leftover materials…I also decided it was finally time to purchase a pair of sandals after spending the majority of my summer so far in Converse. I’m not usually much of a sandal person but I actually really like these and I’m pleased to say that they are pretty comfortable too. Let’s just hope the good weather continues so that I can get plenty of wear out of them.

The Blue Floral Print Coat & Dinner at Solita

I think I need another month of not eating meat as since going back to my carnivorous ways, I’ve not stopped eating burgers. With so many great burger joints in Manchester though, it’s often rather hard to resist. On Friday I met up with the boyfriend after work and after going for a few drinks around The Northern Quarter, we ended up in Solita for a meal.

It was my first time at Solita, so I wanted to try as much as I could by getting starters and mains (any excuse). To start we went for the Buffalo Wings and the Deep Fried Mac ‘n’ Cheese Balls to share. The wings of course were splendid and the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Balls were delicious, I only wished there were more of them.

For the main, Damien went for the Catalan burger; Consisting of grilled chorizo, roasted red peppers, pepperjack cheese, roasted tomato aioli, nicely presented with a padron pepper skewer. I went for the Manc-Hattan burger; Consisting of pastrami, melted Lancashire cheese, fried black pudding, Lancashire sauce and Coney Island mustard. Both were served with skinny fries and we went halfs on our burgers (because I really wanted to try Damien’s Cajun burger). I loved both burgers but my favourite was the Manc-Hattan burger. I would rate it high up there on the burger scale in terms of creativeness and taste. We washed our meals down, with red wine for me and a beer for Damien. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious, so I’m sure I will be back again soon.

What I wore:
Coat/Jacket – Lavish Alice (Last Season)
Tank Top – Primark – In Store Now
Bracelets & Necklace – Primark – In Store Now
Earrings – Topshop
Black Skinny Jans – ASOS
Bag – Zara (old)
Shoes – Urban Outfitters (old)

Hotel Bustle Ootd

Finally, a glimpse of sunnier days. Although I think I spoke too soon, as today it is actually raining but this weekend however, we finally saw some blue skies in Manchester. Although it may have still been rather nippy, I still saw the brighter looking weather as an excuse to wear my new sandals which I got to pick out from Clarks recently. I went for the Hotel Bustle sandals in navy leather. I was instantly drawn to them, I love the colour and when they arrived I loved them even more.

On Saturday it was of course Valentine’s Day and I spent it with my boyfriend doing what we do best… Eating! We took an impromptu journey to the Northern Quater and found ourselves in Almost Famous (the best burger joint), chowing down on some delicious burgers. I went for something a little different this time and opted for the burger consisting of two burger patties, a sausage pattie, poached egg, potato waffle and maple syrup. It was actually amazing! Then for sides we went for our usual portions of bacon bacon fries and suicide wings. How romantic are we. In the evening we enjoyed champagne and cocktails and I received a Hockney coffee table book which I was thrilled with (David Hockney is my favourite artist in case you didn’t know). It was rather fitting as last Valentine’s Day we took a trip to the Tate in Liverpool to see Hockney’s exhibition there. So keeping with the theme, maybe next year I’ll receive a genuine Hockney painting… Yeah right.

What I wore:
Faux fur jacket – Forever 21 (Last season)
Necklace – Ebay
Bag – Zara (Last summer)
Belt – Primark (currently available in store)
Polka dot shirt – H&M
Navy high waisted trousers – H&M
Shoes – Clarks
