I started out my blog as a hater of jeans. We’re now reaching two posts in a row with denim features. How times have changed. These days I’m a jeans lover – I actually ordered two pairs from ASOS this week, with this pair a being a new treat from River Island. I was so chuffed to see this style in the parcel… I’d been after some cute crops for weeks! They’re also extra soft -   I was sure I wouldn’t be able to fit into my regular size, but these fit really comfortably. There’s nothing like not being able to fit into a pair of jeans to put a whopping downer on your day! With today being the 1st of September I’m also starting to think about digging out my turtlenecks. Me and the high neck are always going to be A/W best buds. This little knit is the first I’ll be wearing as we head into the in-between season – it’s not that heavy to cause me to melt. The only thing is it has shrunk a little… I have seen this one in the Topshop sale, so maybe I sh...

Hat - H&M, Sunglasses - H&M, Top - Missguided, Skirt - River Island, Boots - Topshop, Rings - Pandora I'm once again  b ack indoors. This was mainly do to a small sitch which involved me taking blog pictures & my neighbour pegging out the washing. Awkward doesn't even cut it.. I mean, what was I supposed to do?! Continue posing away to my tripod whilst she pegs out her undies or scuttle off camera in hand trying to pretend she didn't just catch me. I did the latter, and instead ended up pulling a bit of a duck face in my room. We all accidentally do the duck face sometimes right..?!  Anyway, today's post is me wanting to wear my new hat. Would you call this a fedora?! I have so many hats but I'm never actually sure what's called what. This one is kind of like the Boohoo one that I've worn to death, except this one has a larger brim & is flat topped so I don't feel like as much of a cone head when I wear it. I love it.. it...

Silk Mini Skirt - Topshop (£55) Now, this post is in no way a realistic representation of my birthday lust list. I definitely won’t be expecting my ma to go out & spend mega bucks on me, nor would I want her to.. but it’s always nice to have a ‘dream’ list don’t you think? You know, the sort of birthday presents you’d buy yourself if money was no object. Most of the things on my lust list are the things I’m currently trying to ...

Strappy Swing Dress -  Missguided (£19.99) I’m probably a bit early with a A/W lust list, it is only August after all. If you’re like me & you’re not a massive fan of the colder season, then I’m sure you’ll also feel that the thought of a new winter wardrobe is about the only thing that’ll make it slightly more bearable. Hello woolly hats, faux fur & cosy socks! Eeek now that is excit...

Rihanna for River Island Crochet Top (£35) & Skirt (£45) Co-ordinates are the things I'm lusting after way too much right now. Clothing websites adding a 'Co-ords' section just isn't helping! This trend is probably my favourite in a long time.. so much so that I spent the day looking for the perfect matching set to wear to an interview. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything that fit my teeny budget, but had I had pennies to spend I would have been treating myself. BOO, I hate being skint! I ...

I like to plan outfits sometimes, because I can be tempted to just grab the same old things that I always go for. These outfits have shown me what a high waisted lover I am. To me, summer is all about fetching the high waisted shorts out of retirement. Time to dare bare the pins & slap on a bit of instant tan.. Whilst trying to not look like a Wotsit. The cream pair o...

Knee High Pastel Socks (£4), 15. Metallic Belt (£4) I was a bit bored of seeing my face on here so thought I’d do a lust list. I got a bit carried away getting all excited about summer, so it’s kind of ended up being a summer holiday wish list. I never normally even think about bikinis or warm weather gear, but seen as this year for the first in 10 I should (hopefully!) be going away I allowed myself a bit of online window shopping. Summer clothes are so exciting aren’t they?! They’re just more bright and lively.. that neon green could perk up any sulky day!  The p...

Hat - River Island, Hoody - Missguided, Choker - DIY, Crop Top - Primark, Belt - Primark, Skirt - H&M, Stockings - Primark, Creepers - Underground Today, the sun comes out & naturally, so do my legs. I’m at the point where I refuse to wear tights! I’m sick of feeling all wrapped up & having to have my feet tucked up in boots.. gimme the sandals because my body is suffocating! Is anyone else feeling that way?! I am still wearing my snuggly kitty beanie, but that was more of a bad hair day necessity than because it was freezing! I’m wearing a few of my wardrobe favourites today.. which means there's probably things you could well be sick of seeing! Creepers, a crop top & that tartan skirt that has been in many a post. It might be a bit naughty school girl (whoops) but oh well.. that’s another outfit that can be added to my list of options for Halloween! I popped on my Missguided hoody & added a leather jacket when I went out.. hoodi...

Hat - H&M, Cream Jacket - H&M, Top - Rihanna for River Island, Belt - Primark, Skirt - Primark, Shoes - c/o Missguided Ugh I had a big fail with the lighting again, even on the cloudiest of days I still manage to get the sun to beam through the minute I don’t want it there. Please don’t laugh at my silly squinty face! There’s a reason I wear sunglasses a lot.. this is not a good look for me! I couldn’t wait any longer to show you my new top so I thought I’d pop these pictures up anyway. My mamma (now style babe of the year) went & got me this as a cheeky Easter treat as I she knows how much I’ve been drooling over the Rihanna for River Island collection. What do you guys think of it?! I pretty much loved everything, not that I could pull most of the stuff off! Yeah, Rihanna looks another level of amazing in a pair of double top denim jeans, but I’m not sure this small fry from Sheffield would look quite so cool. Ha!  I popped my jacket aroun...

Hat - H&M, Sunglasses - Primark, Jumper - c/o Daisy Street , Lace Skirt - River Island, Platform Trainers - Charity Shop Lipstick - Illamasqua (Ignite),  Nails - Sinful Colours (Bikini) & Rimmel Matte Top Coat I’m sure I’ll have probably posted an outfit just like this in the past.. I guess it’s just my sort of thing isn’t it? I have just about managed to get out of my all black obsession, but I just thought the jumper went well the the gothy little lace number. The skirt was purchased in the River Island sale many moons ago (hehe worst joke ever Lydia) and has been paired with lots of baggy over sized tops to cover up a bit. I’m actually wearing gym shorts under it.. dead trendy. Not. Ha. On to my big news! A few of you will have already seen me getting all giddy on Twitter/Instagram, but I wanted to let the rest of you know that I only went & won the Boohoo #globalstyler competition! How insane is that?! Especially when so many amazingly styli...

So I thought I’d do a little post on my current wish list. Yes, it’s a big un & completely unrealistic.. A girl can dream though eh?! I think it’s nice to have a few things that you can think ‘if I won the...
