LOUNGEWEAR LOOKBOOK

Image
Loungewear being a trend has made my life a happier place for the foreseeable future. Essentially, I can now live my life in pyjama like clothing. Brilliant. I probably spent the start of winter dressing quite smart (the shirt and skinny jeans combo has been my go-to), so it's nice to now turn to more casual clothing. I do think you can dress this sort of thing up too - I went with that choker/neckerchief for the first outfit, and a turtle neck for the third just to smarten up those fleecy jumpsuits. They're another level of comfy so I'm going to get as much wear out of them as possible! I've got all the product info in the video description - there is a lot of Boohoo involved, but I've just been loving their casual sets recently! youtube  /  bloglovin  /  twitter  /  facebook  /  pinterest  /  tumblr  /  instagram x

CO-ORDS... A TREND FOR 2016?

Image
Sunglasses - Céline / Jacket - Topshop / Two Piece - Forever 21 / Bag - eBay / Pandora Charms - Gift and Wrap I know the co-ord has been doing the rounds for a good while, but I still like a good two piece. This set was probably the last one I picked up, just a really casual one from Forever 21. I've worn it a few times, but this crap rainy weather is still spoiling all my flared trouser hopes for this season. Just look at the bottoms of these. Crying. I'd been out in the morning to do a bit of shopping, but in-between that & taking pictures we had a downpour. Needless to say, after this mini photo shoot they were straight in the wash.  For 2016 I know I'll end up buying more matching sets - I know I've probably said this before, but I always find they're easy outfits. I do think there's something smart about co-ords too... Maybe it's because it makes me think of the cute little twin sets my Nanna wears. Ha. Even though thi...

BLACK TWO PIECE

Image
Two Piece - ZARA , Heels - New Look You know when you just find that outfit that's pretty much everything you like about clothing and you want to wear it forever? That's this outfit. It's bringing me back to being a little more feminine, is typically monochrome and shows off the bits I want to show off (whilst covering up my curvier bottom half). Plus it was pretty cheap - I think it came to just over £20 for the two piece. The shoes are the ones I mentioned in my last post.. I did worry they could look a little bit like I was wearing an out on probation tag, but I love them on. Glam without being OTT? I needed something simple like this as my go-to heel so I'm glad I got them. For once that's all stuff that should still be in stores/online! I feel a bit useless sometimes when I'm blogging about clothes I've had for years, not something that you can just head into Topshop & pick up. I guess I don't buy clothing very often and my favour...

LACE CO-ORD

Image
Sunglasses - Skiathos Town, Two Piece - c/o Ukulele , Shoes - Office So this was my party piece of the holiday. Y'know the sort, that one you've saved for the last night, when your tan is the best it's ever going to look & you're wanting to get a bit dolled up. I had planned to wear this on my last evening out in Skiathos, mainly because I was hoping the cream would make me look less Phil Mitchell after a day on the sunbed and more bronze goddess. I'm not sure we quite achieved the goddess tanning status (to be fair, I was finding peely-parts by this stage), but I do love this two piece on - it's just such a girly outfit! I'm not really wearing it any different to the first time I featured it on my blog, but I still think it's the sort of outfit that doesn't require much with it. This time I'm just wearing another pair of cheapo sunglasses I picked up in Skiathos town. Think I've gone from being a round sunnies to aviators kin...

FLORAL CO-ORD

Hat - H&M, Necklace - Delilah Dust, Co-Ord - Miss Selfridge , Rings - c/o La Moda After a month or so of doing pretty well on the zero spending front, this was my treat to myself. I tried it on while I was having a window shopping moment.. I just wanted to see what I'd look like in something a little bit fancy, and this did look completely beautiful on the mannequin.  So off I popped to the changing room for my little dressing up sesh.. The next thing I knew I'd spent nearly £60 on one outfit. I know for some people that's probably not a lot for a good quality set, but as a girl who needs a lie down when I spend over £30 in Topshop it was a biggie. I think I'm just getting to the stage where I want quality, not quantity. As much as I love getting a bag full of goodies from Primark, I think these days I'm probably better to buy one thing I really love than loads of bits & bobs I don't really need.  Annnnd I'm so glad I decided to buy ...

THAT PRIMARK TWO PIECE

Image
 Two Piece - Primark, Top - Topshop, Boots - c/o La Moda I think this little two piece has gained a bit of notoriety in the blogosphere.. we've all seen it, we've all lusted after it then we've all searched through our local Primarks to try and hunt it down. Generalising just a little bit there, but I do think this is a good call on Primarks part.. I mean it's a two piece (everyone loves a co-ord right now), it's monochrome (hands down winner with me) and it was only £25 (the Gods of bargain hunting rejoice!). So yep, I'm blaming Primark's design team for my bank balance's woes right now. Anyway, I kept everything monochrome today with one of my favourite Topshop shirts. Nothing too flouncy, just a smart, simple fit. I bought this way back in October for the Cosmo Blog Awards and I was adamant that I'd wear it to death, mainly because for me, spending £30 on a simple top seems like quite a lot! Forgive me, I'm still in the student min...
