THE BIGGER THE HOOP...

Jumper: Motel Rocks (sample) | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: similar here | Bag: Pimkie 

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

I love pairing traditionally feminine pieces like skirts and dresses, with trainers. It's such a good way to keep things casual while moving away from the standard everyday jeans look. This look is one of my recent favourites, especially because there's a really good balance between a girly and grungy aesthetic. The cropped jumper, skirt and hooped earrings make for a really cool contrast with the dark colour palette and silver trainers - such a simple everyday look.

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.

CREEPING INTO AUTUMN

Crop: Motel Rocks | Dress: Bershka | Bomber: H&M | Bag: H&M | Shoes: Adidas 

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

This H&M bomber - which I picked up in the sale for only £15 a couple of months ago - is a perfect transition piece for the forthcoming colder weather. I'm really not much of a winter dresser, but as this bomber is actually quite thick and warm, it's perfect to create a funky look and also to combat the chill. I also recently dug up these Adidas high-top sneakers from my wardrobe, which are also helping me transition from Summer to Autumn. Trainers and sneakers, generally, allow for a seamless adjustment between the seasons, and while I'm able to ditch all my old sandals and other summery shoes, they're still not the warm winter boot that I'm sure I'll be sporting in the next couple of months!

WEATHER, WHY?

Jumper: H&M | Jeans: Levis via Motel Rocks (Vintage) | Shoes: Vans | Nails: Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in 'Plum' 

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

I'm just not feelin' this weather right now; I've had enough of jumpers and jeans! I'm so looking forward to going back home in a couple of weeks time for some well-earned beach and tanning time, and hopefully my blog posts will feature some actual summery looks! 

But anyway, for now, I'm just trying to make the most of my current situation, so I decided to whip out my mom jeans, which I hadn't worn for a good while, and paired them with a brown jumper and purple Vans! It's a quick and simple outfit, but I really love the pretty detailing on the jumper, and the contrast between all the colours! Here's hoping for some warmth and sunshine soooon!

MOTEL MOHAIR

I'm pretty sure I featured this cropped jumper in one of my early blog posts at the beginning of this year, but the weather has started calling for it again! I picked it up at one of Motel Rocks' sample sales, where I always discover gems for a bargain. I usually find cropped jumpers quite uncomfortable but this one is perfect for pairing with my high-waisted mom jeans! (also from Motel) 

I teamed them with my new studded monk shoes, of course, which I've been wearing to death as of late! I doubt they'll be going anywhere soon, because I just purchased some high-waisted cigarette trousers from ASOS, which I hope to wear these babies with for an equally minimal but more chic look. 

Also, I'm loving this Nails Inc varnish! I honestly get some of my favourite things as freebees in magazines!

LESS IS MORE

Here's a simple outfit I wore on the weekend; comfortable and simple for a long day of mooching around Camden! I love that it's getting chilly enough to wear chunky knits and jumpers! I've never really worn these mom jeans with anything other than crop tops or simple t-shirts, but I think they look so cute paired with this slightly cropped jumper. Silly me, I forgot my belt, which would have cinched my waist in, and completed the entire look just that bit better, but oh well! 

I definitely think that less is more sometimes, and comfort is definitely key when you're walking around the streets of London for a whole day!

I finally got some sandals!

YAAAAY! I hunted and I found! 

I finally got myself a pair of sandals! The days of only ever wearing boots are over :D I got these babies from Schuh, and after seeing many similar to these in loads of different shops, I finally came to a decision, and loved the way these fit.

(Apologies in advance for my manky toe-nail polish - or lack there of it)

Also, check out this funky earring I found in the Urban Outfitters' sale; thought it was quite different and quirky and not something that I'd usually think of buying!

I also found this crop/t-shirt in the UO sale - I love the way it sits loosely on the shoulders, plus I really needed more simple-but-pretty tops that I could just thrown on to go with pretty much anything.

Blue Jeans -

Recently, I received great feedback from somebody regarding my blog, and was advised to post more of my everyday looks as opposed to occasional outfits - which usually tend to be what I wear on the weekends. The reason why I was only posting weekend outfits up until now is because I tend to spend a little more time on them, and my joy at the prospect of finally reaching these two freedom-filled days is somewhat reflected in my outfits, whereas on a day to day basis, I fear they'll be kinda blah and boring. But I've now decided to post my outfits more regularly, in order to showcase my style as effectively as possible! =]

If you're a follower of my blog, you'll know that I swear by my black (or striped) jeans - and now, of course, my beloved mom jeans - but I realised that I haven't really worn these navy blue Topshop jeans in yonks and pulled 'em out for a bit of attention. They go so nicely with my Docs - totally love the colour contrast - and, most importantly, they're super stretchy and SO comfy. 

This cute necklace was given to me by my mum after a nice jewellery spring cleaning session last year. I dunno about you guys, but I'm someone who goes through phases with jewellery. For some time, I'll be obsessed and be draped in necklaces, bracelets and rings, and then there are other periods of time where I just don't wear anything. I'm currently going through the latter, so I think a simple & understated gold necklace like this is perfect to spice up an outfit slightly, and can add a touch of girlyness to an otherwise ungirly outfit. 

So when I first got this top from the Motel Rocks sample sale, I had envisioned it as a crop top, as I was obsessed with the colours on the top half, and wasn't too sure about the horses. But the truth is that I simply haven't got around to cutting it up yet, and frankly, I'm kinda scared that I'm gonna ruin it. So I just wore the whole shabang and actually quite liked it, but I'm not too sure what its ultimate fate should be! What do you guys think?
