Jumper: Criminal Damage via Tk Maxx | Jeans: Zara | Shoes: Nike

------------------------------------------------

Is marble print soooo last year? I probably didn't get the memo, but oh well, I just couldn't resist anyway! I've seen this Criminal Damage brand floating around for the past couple of years, but none of their pieces had ever called to me like this one did, especially at just £19.99 - gotta love a good TK Maxx bargain! I decided to switch it up a little bit and dug out some old Zara jeans for a nice contrast, finishing it all off with my grey Roshe Runs to balance out the colour palette!

PRIMARK KINDA FESTIVE JUMPER

Jumper: Primark | Jeans: Topshop | Coat: Primark | Shoes: Reebok via Size?

----------------------------------------------

I actually saw this jumper featured in an editorial spread in some magazine a couple of months back, and expected it, as usual, to be some designer piece way out of my budget. So I was really pleasantly surprised to see it was from Primark, and priced at only £18! I kept it pretty minimal for a chilly walk along the river, pairing it with my ripped jeans, super longline coat (also from Primark), and my little pink Reebok clouds - seriously, so comfortable,

DIY FRAYED MOM JEANS

Jumper & Gilet: Pimkie | Jeans: Levis via Motel Vintage | Shoes: Reebok via Size?

------------------------------------------------------

I'm aware that I've featured all of these items in my blog very recently, but let's face it: this gal repeats outfits constantly! If I love something, I tend to just live in it - no shame! The main purpose of this post is to show how I cut the bottom cuffs of my jeans off; literally the best thing I've ever done! I did like my Levis before, but I always thought the cuffs looked a bit too neat and even awkward at times. So I went a bit scissor crazy and chopped them off, and then started tugging on the ends like a madwoman until I was happy with the fraying. I love the length of them now, and the uneven fraying is a subtle way to take any outfit to the next level and help it all look effortless yet stylish.

ADIDAS LUXE CREW

Sweatshirt: Adidas | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Puma via Offspring (Selfridges)

----------------------------------------------

Here's another cheeky purchase I made in Madrid upon my return to London from my holiday last month. I casually strolled into the Adidas store looking for some all white Stan Smiths (no colour anywhere, not even the back). So after months of searching, I realised that I'd actually been wasting my time, because there are no such things as all white Stan Smiths unless we're talking about the perforated/mesh/skater-look version. I know I'm picky, right? But anyway, not all was lost, because I swiftly moved along to the clothing section, spotted this beauty, and quickly forgot about my trainers. The colours, as described on the Adidas website, are St Fade Ocean & Ash Purple - don't you just love that? Anyway, whatever colours they may be, all I know is that they're probably my two absolute favourites ever! It really is like Adidas made a jumper for me, so when I saw it, I was like, "that shall be mine, thanks". Here, I teamed it up with my ever trusty ripped skinnies and my new RiRi creepers for the ultimate comfort-fest!
