I'd been wanting to add a pinafore dress to my life for A/W, so when I this one in H&M I knew it'd be a worthy investment. To me, they're a real classic for the season... I probably feel like that because they're the sort of thing I wore way back in the 90s when my mum still picked my outfits! She loved a pinafore and patterned tights combo. This one feels like a grown up version with the V neck and mid thigh skimming length.  The other reason I love a pinafore dress is because they're faaab for layering. I know this will be my favourite choice for pairing with turtle necks (and we all know how I feel about a turtle neck!). For now, I've been baring my legs in this, but I think it'll still be cute with thick, opaque tights. Yes, two-pair-of-tights-season may well be coming, but I'm not ready to embrace it quite yet!  Shirt, Pinafore Dress & Bag - H&M / Boots - ZARA SHOP THE POST JavaScript is currently disabled i...

I got this skirt a good couple of months ago now. It was one of those on a whim purchases that I wasn’t really sure if I’d ever get round to wearing. I’d seen a similar one on a girl who looked fabulously glamorous, so when I saw this version in the H&M sale for £15 I thought I’d give it a go. I completely love the silky style of it… I guess it’s cause it’s got some sort of gothic vibe to it. I’m definitely into that. Actually, I’m really looking forward to wearing this skirt in the winter. I do like it with this cute cropped shirt, but I think it’ll be extra lovely with a super oversized knit… Something that’s a real contrast to the silky fabric. I’m thinking in navy, just so I don’t look like I’m off to a Halloween party. I’ve already bought a couple of A/W jumpers, but I’ll still stick a navy knit on my wishlist!

So this little tea dress quickly became the blogger's fave, didn't it?! I can definitely see why. It's a really flattering fit that seems to work well on loads of different shapes. As quite a petite person, I love something girly like this. The tie waist works well for me too - I'm always about something that pulls in my waist and skims over my hips... Anything to distract from my rather ample bottom half! I actually got this for a night out and wore it with these boots - I've no time for wibbly-wobbly heels these days. While I've seen this dress plenty in the blogosphere, I've not seen as much of it up in Sheffield. Flouncy little numbers like this are my favourite for evenings out, so it felt like a good purchase for girls night... I managed to justify the spend anyway, as I know I can wear it during the daytime too. Right, slobby Sunday awaits. I've spent the day stripping the house, so Netflix, chocolate & a duvet it is!

You know when you find something in your wardrobe that you’d completely forgot about, then proceed to wear it every other day for the next month? This little bralet has become that item. I loved it way back when I got it (we’re talking at least a year ago), but somewhere along the way it was consumed by an overflowing top drawer. I took these pictures before I went away, but it did end up coming on holiday with me too. It’s a good layering piece for pairing with girly options. Here I just went basic, with black jeans and that ZARA shirt I’ve always loved… And yup, I’m keeping it monochrome as ever. Here I was just heading to get coffee (currently classed as my hobby), so jeans and a slouchy shirt was good enough for me. Right, time for me to head out for some grub. With all the house stuff going on at the minute I’m ready for an evening that doesn’t involve ringing the bank, talking to solicitors and looking at sofas. Sunglasses - Celine / Shirt -...

I love that little victorious moment when something super cheap turns out to be really nice. So often it’s the opposite, but with this Boohoo dress I wasn’t let down. It’s not like it’s mega fancy material, but it’s simple and a flattering fit. There’s just something nice about swooshing about in anything with a thigh split! Angelina Jolie I ain’t. The boots and sunglasses I’m wearing with this are the ones I’ve worn religiously over summer. I love me a good pointy boot, and I can’t cope without bug shaped gigs. My only holiday purchase was actually another pair of Céline sunglasses at duty free. It’s a brand that us Sheffield folk can only really get online, so I thought I might as well go for it. I know I get my wear out of sunnies, so I’m happy to justify spending a little more.   Sunglasses - Céline / Dress - Boohoo / Boots - Zara SHOP THE LOOK youtube  /  bloglovin  /  twitter  /  facebook ...
