OOTD: casual

top - dvo signature

coat - new look (old)

leggings - asos

converse - asos

This is what I wore today, a casual outfit for an extremely casual day.  I am trying to steer away from wearing leggings as although they are comfortable they're not very attractive. I just feel like I look lazy when I wear them. This is my favourite item of clothing for slouching and chillaxing to the max. I purchased this top from a discount store, where they receive stock from large stores such as Very and sell it at discount prices. I tried searching for it on the internet incase any one was interested in purchasing one and was in fits of giggles when I realised this is actually a maternity top! pah! So thats why its so comfy... Ah well, its my i'm feeling rubbish and lazy but I can fit into size 6 clothing yay for me top.

I went for a nosey round town with my mum and little sister and purchased Carys some Olympic souvenirs to remind her of this mammouth event. I also treated myself to a team GB bracelet. I went on the sun bed for the first time. 

WHAT?!?! Y U USE SUN BED!? THERE BAD FOR YOU? yessss, i know sun beds are terrible for your skin but I don't want to spend my holiday sulking in the sun because my skin is burnt, lets call these sun bed sessions skin training. So, stripping down to my pants then asking how to use it hasn't been one of my best ideas but hey ho! Although the final destination scene did flash through my head as I entered the sun bed, it went fine and I got out alive.

oooh, p.s i am a glasses wearer now, thanks for deteriorating right eye!

i'm back!

I have been a terrible blogger and have neglected my little spec on the world wide web for almost a month. The truth is, I just haven't been motivated to write any posts.. I have been kinda busy with work and other commitments but when I had time at home I have been seriously unmotivated to take any pictures - blogwise - or write any posts. In the time I haven't been posting I have finally passed my driving test and have a gleaming corsa that I can drive around in, mega achievement for me! p.s driving is super expensive, i have zilch pounds and zero pence in my bank right now..

I have also collected lots of lovely things to show you over the next couple of posts. I won a giveaway for a gorgeous pair of Zalando shoes, andddddd my amazing mumma bought me the enrapture totem curlers, she just gets me!

lots of exciting things coming your way to read, hope you didn't miss me too much!

jubilee OOTD

cardigan - h&m

dress - tk maxx

belt - peacocks

say hello to my six year old sister Carys. But we rarely call her that. Since the day she was born we have always called her boo, so say hello to boo everyone! She is practically pushing me out of this OOTD post, but I couldn't help but share photographs of her beautiful dress with you. She is so excitable, and has had a jubilee filled weekend. She is in love with the Royal family and was very upset when we told her the Queen wouldn't be in our town today. We have not long come back from the Jubilee Party our local council hosted, where we waved our mini flags and watched acts sing, the weather ruined it though. I think there may be a street party on our street tonight,  how are you celebrating the Jubilee?

my very favourite sun dress

- sorry about image quality for the first two images camera didn't want to play today -

soul cal deluxe floral dress - republic

I ventured into my attic Friday morning to pick a few summer items out of my suitcase to wear whilst the sun has come out! I'm not brave enough to bring the whole suitcase down as I feel its to early, I mean it is March after all.. I can guarantee as soon as I bring the whole hefty thing down, queue rain and my sorry ass will be dragging it right back up again. I brought down my coral jeans, a few printed vests and this beautiful little sun dress! I didn't have time to fake tan my legs and didn't want to scare the people of my town with my milk bottle legs so teamed it with leggings. Of course a top knot and aviators was necessary for today. Whenever its warm I grace a top knot, to get all of my locks of my neck and let it breathe. The aviators are just ultimate cool. I love this dress so much, I bought it to go away to Turkey last year with my boyfriend. I paid around £20 which is an awesome price, it is half price now so get yourself to your nearest Republic and get this dress! - I think there was only a size 12 left online when I checked - I have a nasty headache right now, don't think my cornea are used to so much intake of day light. so I have come indoors to chill out and listen to the Beach Boys.

the only pale person in all of Turkey!

ladies, how would you feel about me posting a blog sale, 

got lots of lovely clothes & shoes that don't get worn and need to go to new loving owners?

my new blazer!

blazer - river island via eBay

I have been after a more sturdy blazer for a while to replace my jersey one. My boyfriend got me this one for my birthday from River Island, he paid the full price for it and I wasn't sure how much use I would get out of it considering the price tag. The River Island ones went down to half price which was so annoying, and they aren't able to refund the difference which is understandable, they also don't offer an exchange so sending this one back to re buy it at the reduced price would result in us paying another delivery charge. But me being the eBay whizz, I found the exact same blazer on eBay for £21 - the price has gone up since - it is the exact same blazer, the labels are a bit odd and not River Island official looking, but hey the blazer looks the exact same. Its a very luxurious blazer, soft to touch and the lining inside is super comfy. My lovely Vallvik dresser was collected from Ikea by some family friends yesterday, so that shall be assembled later on! Now the task of taking out my clothes from my current one and storing them downstairs. Oh well at least I can have a good sort through my clothes this way, killing two birds with one stone.

remember 50 followers marks a give away!

I'm your little harlot, scarlet

So here it is, you voted for more outfit's of the day and you got them! 

top - h&m

leggings - river island 

everything else is old, sorry!

This is my current go to outfit for ultimate comfort, I have grown a love for leggings. They are so much more comfortable than wearing stiff skinny jeans but, I've seen so many people wear them wrong in the past and it just put me off. Then there is the whole can you wear leggings as trousers debate, no. I myself can't gracefully wear leggings as trousers especially my new leggings which are see through on the butt area. I am always conscious of certain areas not being covered, haha. I have had this leather jacket for years, it was from New Look its done very well although I have noticed a hole on the elbow area. I've also had this scarf for yonks, it was originally from River Island, I think it was about £10 which is an amaze balls price because its a luxurious fabric and feels silky to touch. Had a quiet day today I just popped out for lunch with my boyfriend and discovered a new found love for quesadillas, yum. Today I was sporting a middle parting, I'm getting bored of my overgrown side fringe. But there is no this is no chance in hell I could pull of a bulky fringe, so currently having a hair dilemma. white girl problems!

where are you on the leggings as trousers debate? yay or nay?

I would just like to add.. thank you so much to everyone who viewed my blog yesterday. I know its not cool to talk about blog stats and all that, but yesterday my blog experienced extremely high views, which is so so wonderful after me struggling to think of posts to write and worrying if readers are enjoying my content it really gave me the boost I needed, what a wonderful blogging world I am now part of! Thank you beauties!

chelsea girl for the birthday girl

oh hai face!

This is one of the beautiful gifts my boyfriend got me for my birthday. The lace dress is part of the Chelsea Girl range at River Island. The design is a paisley lace, the dress has a beautiful cut on it. I just love everything about this dress, the neck line, the shoulder details... I teamed it with my trusty leather jacket which I dug out due to boredom of my winter coats. Also my pocket watch necklace and my pearly Topshop flats for a roast dinner on Sunday. I also had the set of bangles I'm wearing in the pictures and a pair of flatforms for my birthday. I can't tell you enough how awesome they are, was a bit weird to walk in at first. But they did me well, I survived a night out on Saturday which saw me getting in at 5am. Bye bye killer heels, hello pain free flatforms.

polka dots & pocket watch

             

        

         

dress - h&m

cardigan - h&m

coat - new look

necklace - dorothy perkins

I wore this outfit to a christening on a Sunday, I first spotted it in a h&m catalogue I was sent and fell in love with it! I forgot about it for a while and tried it on in a h&m store and fell in love with it even more, but didn't purchase as I had a £5 discount code to use online. When it arrived of course I loved it, but it hit me how short this dress actually is, I was planning on teaming it with heels but decided to opt for my flat moccassions. This outfit is great for any occasion, day time, family meetings, work. The best thing about it is the simplicity, as you can just throw on the dress and some jewellery and it looks like you've made an effort, when really its just the print. I bought this coat from New Look, everyone needs a mac in their wadrobe. It's a timeless piece, that you can just throw on, just my style. What more could you want? Well I should find my get up and go, as I have a meeting at 1.30 at a venue for an event I'm organising, it's a hard life.
