Shirting around...

Heyy you guysss! Well now.. the sun was out today.. so I had to get out there and show the world some nicer items from my wardrobe didn't I!! Yes, had a lovely day today, it was my day off and the beautiful sun decided to show it's face. Me and my friend George.. (she loves it when I mention her on here) had a little mooch around town today, went for a cheeky coffee at Frank's Bar. I've mentioned Frank's Bar on here before.. if you haven't been there yet you need to go! So I thought I would share with you my outfit of choice for today.. watch out guys.. I haven't got a coat on.. it was that warm!!

So I am wearing one of my favourite vintage shirts, it is an absolute beaut. I really like it because the colours are quite vibrant and it's a good abstract print. Underneath my shirt is the white long vest, it's not your typical vest material it's almost a jumper material, that is from Primark. My leggings are from Topshop. Absolutely love these, I got them quite a while ago but they always bring out something similar and they are so comfortable.

So here are some of the details from my outfit. My cream Converse, they go with most outfits and great for when you are having a mooching around kind of day. My Casio watch wear this everyday. Classic gold swirl earrings fairly new purchase from Topshop. My necklace also from Topshop, quite an old school piece though so no longer in the shops sorry guys! Last but not least my mustard Zara scarf. I know you must think I always wear this, but I do wear others it just so happens I always forget to do an outfit post whilst wearing another scarf....

One last thing, I just wanted to share with you this cherry blossom tree I walk past everyday.. no real relevance but I think it's beautiful... Enjoy <3

Housey House House

Hey everyone.... busy once again.. I moved in to my new house!! Exciting times. I am starting to feel like it's all coming together now.. lots more homely. I thought I would share a few snaps with you to show you how it's getting along. I am intending to do lots of DIY crafty bits for the house, (once I have money again.. moving house is a bit pricey! Haha). Candles I love candles.. I really want to make some teacup candles. I shall keep you guys updated on my DIY gems.

Here are a few little details.. top left is my duvet cover. I love it my friend George gave it to me as a house warming present isn't she a lovely little cherub! It's from Primark, I think their home section is really good I want to go to a large store and having a massive Home accessories spending spree.

Top right is my little fireplace in my room. I absolutely love fireplaces I think they add so much character to a room. The only thing that annoys me is that it isn't central on the wall, so I think I will have to be careful if I hang anything on the wall over it.

Bottom left is my very sexy chest of drawers.. By far my favourite item of furniture I have bought. I got it from a charity shop, apart from it being really good value it's a stunning piece of vintage furniture. I was initially thinking about varnishing it or staining it but actually, now it's in my room I think it works really well.

Bottom right, I thought I would just show you guys how I have decided to store my scarves. as you can see I have a fair few and I have never really had a good way to hang them. I saw one of these over the door hangers which I think is meant to be used for coats etc. and thought that would be perfect to put my scarves on. I can actually see what I have got now as well which is amazing.

This is my en-suite.. Isn't it a beaut! I bought a new mirror at the weekend from The Range. I think its stunning, it wouldn't fit in my room so I put it in my bathroom. Obviously there were some angling issues.. don't want it pointing towards you whilst you are on the loo!! But I think it works really well in there and there is always good lighting.

One last pic... Outfit posts are my priority.. I had to have a massive clear out when I moved, (something which my friends are always happy about) and as you can see there are still quite a few items left in my wardrobe. So worry not followers.. many more outfit posts to come <3

NYC and Vegas baby....

Hey everyone.. how are we all? So I have just come back from an amazing trip to celebrate one of my best friend's birthday.. (her 30th *cough cough*). It was amazing, if any of you get the chance to go to New York do it- without hesitation.. perhaps a bit later on in the year though as it was a little bit nippy at -2 degrees. Vegas was... well it was Vegas. Pretty much does what it says on the tin it was crazy. I feel about ten stone heavier and have come back craving fruit and vegetables!! I thought I would share a few snaps and a couple of outfits with you guys... be warned you will want to go there after seeing these!

I told you.. you want to go now don't you !! :-)  My favourite item from my suitcase that I packed were my yellow wedge sandals.. not so good for New York but I loved them in Vegas. They are from Topshop, not current stock sorry guys but these wedges they bring out a variation of them every year. So comfortable and they don't show too much toe! I have long toes so I don't like a large amount of toe showing. You long toed beauties out there will know where I am coming from with this! My other wardrobe essential is my tasselled studded bag. I love this bag, I got it from a shop called Ark, not really sure if the shop was a casualty of the recession but there isn't one in my town any more. This bag goes with everything and is the perfect size. It will be a sad day when I have worn it out.

My skirt from the first outfit picture, the one with my bestie in tow, is from Primark. Primark have some stunning summer pieces and this one was £8. What I like about Primark is you can get some pieces which look much more expensive than they actually are. In the lower picture the little pink number I am wearing is actually a pair of shorts. I love a bold colour and this cerise pink I think is stunning. These shorts are also from Topshop.

Back to reality now though, and back on with the jeans and jumpers. Hopefully I can crack out my cerise shorts again sometime soon though... wishful thinking...

Until next time.. much love <3

Tattoo update..

Hey Everyone.. so a while a go I blogged about one of my sketches and how I intended to turn it in to a tattoo. Well I finally bit the bullet and got it done.. and couldn't be happier I love it.. However now I need to find new items of clothing to show it off... what a shame :)

So here is is all healed.. from sketch to tattoo. I love it so pleased! The tattooist that did it for me is Thomas Bates, amazing job. He works in London and Norwich. If you like his style give him a little email: tombatesart@gmail.com

Ooh the sun is out!!

Hey everybody!! Well thank goodness the sun has decided to make an appearance. It is at this point when I realise that I have a distinct lack of summer clothing in my ever expanding wardrobe... any excuse to go shopping!! Also I find when the weather is dull.. my colour choices mirror that and I always fall in to the pattern of wearing.. black black black. So I thought it is time to reintroduce colour in to the old OOTD. Here is the outfit I wore out at the weekend... 

This outfit was an absolute bargain... all current stock. My top is from H&M £14.99.. I think this top will be really versatile, think will look really cute with any form of denim.. jeans/shorts/skirt. I will definitely be taking it on holiday with me, which is 5 days away!!!!! The skirt is from Primark... £3. I just loved the teal colour. My boots I absolutely love. They are from H&M and were £29.99. They are so comfy and add that bit of height for little shorties like me without crippling your feet! I should probably clean them though...

Come on guys... get your butts out to get some spring pieces <3

Flowers in Feb...

Hey Guys.... hope all is well in the world of web. I have been slacking again.. this time not due to low funds.. but due to my forever breaking car... so kind of low funds.. also I now frequent the gym a fair bit so I am wearing a lot of lounge wear... nobody wants to see that!! I thought I would share with you a bit of floral goodness. This floral skater dress is a vintage Topshop number. I like to get this one out every now and again because it is so comfy and flattering. Also I find it is quite a versatile dress and can be worn throughout the seasons. I have worn it here with a vintage Grandad cardigan, but I have worn it in the summer with just a necklace and some sandals.

Now my scarf... I often get asked where this one is from... perhaps I also need a new scarf.. but it is from Zara. They have a mighty fine scarf selection might I add and I could quite easily spend most of my wages on them. Unfortunately they no longer have the mustard one.. but they have some new colours and the blue I think is gorgeous so I have attached a little link... so have a little peek (blue scarf beauty).


Have a lovely weekend... I promise to go to the gym less so I can wear more normal clothes to show you :-)

Finally February!!

Hello everyone!! Don't know about you but I am so glad January is over... it is not my favourite month of the year.. Long and Poor!! So I was a hermit all January and lived in my pyjamas.. as you do. So now February has arrived and I have decided to venture out in real clothes. I thought I would share with you my outfit from a lovely girly evening at a well known steakhouse.. Middletons.. other steakhouses are available.

I am absolutely in love with this dress. It's from Zara, it's really comfortable and flattering. I am not one for a tight fitting dress which is one of the reasons I love this dress as it hides a multitude of sins.. food babies included. Really good price point too I think it was £24.99. A classic black fluffy cardi to go with it from New Look.

Detailing; I love my boots they are from Office. They have a really small heel (every little helps when your legs are a bit shorter than you wish them to be), and are really comfortable. Thought I would give you a little close up of my rings.. while I may sometimes forget to put a necklace or earrings on I always remember to put this on.. one Silver and Amber and the other Silver and Labradorite both are from Nova Silver.

Oooh and coming soon to a computer screen near you... my new February purchases.....

Leather trousers <3
