PANDA HAT



Magazines offer the best freebies and offers sometimes; a couple of weeks ago being no different when I got a cheeky voucher for 20% off H&M in Glamour. Hallelujaaaaah! H&M is one of my absolute faves, and it's already so decently priced, that the prospect of a further 20% off made me a happy bunny! 



I picked up this super snug maxi cardigan, which I am currently wearing to death! I also found this cute panda hat lying around on its lonesome, so decided to take him home with me! I just couldn't pass up those two bobbles :)

ZHILOH & GINGHAM


You gotta love H&M: I picked up this cute dress for just £12! Before this piece, I had never really jumped on the gingham bandwagon, but with my beautiful new heels forever on my mind, I thought the two would look so cute styled together to create a girly/grunge outfit. That's the best thing about a statement item like badass boots or a leather jacket: you can wear them in so many different ways, anything from making them look super grunge and rock-chic to styling them with pretty dresses for a more girly vibe.





Considering how high these heels are, they're actually extremely comfortable and easy to walk in, which tends to be the case when they have a chunky platform! I thought they looked cool with these fishnet socks, which I pretty much wear with all my boots these days!

LONG CARDY KINDA WEATHER


My stripy top and long cardigan from SheInside arrived in the post the other day - yay! They go together so perfectly, so I thought I'd pair them with my white jeans and chunky black heels to go out for a nice meal. Looking through my wardrobe, I realised that I was really lacking in casual tops for the colder weather, and pieces like this long cardigan are so versatile and easy to wear. 


I expected the cardigan to be grey - which it kind of is - but it really has blue undertones! I was definitely pleasantly surprised, though, because I think that it makes an outfit slightly more interesting, as opposed to the standard grey I would have usually gone for! 


Also, I finally had an opportunity to wear the gorgeous necklace my boyfriend got me for Christmas, which I usually have a hard time pairing with outfits! It's so pretty!

Wrap Dress from the Zara Sale



So the other day, I randomly checked my PayPal balance (expecting to see a big fat 0) and to my pleasant surprise, I had a lovely £12.00 just sitting there, waiting to be used. I picked up this gorge dusty pink wrap dress from the Zara sale, which actually has some amazing items right now that I did not expect to see there! I bagged it for only £9.99 - not only a great bargain, but it's also my birthday in a few days, so I justified it as a well deserved pressie from me to me :)


It is so so comfortable and soft, and I really love the nudey pink colour, especially the fact that it's kinda speckled, which gives it a lovely effect. I don't think I've ever owned a wrap dress either - but they're gorgeous, and super flattering to absolutely any body shape, especially if you're larger on the hip and bum area like I am. The low neckline and wrap detail on the bust enhances this area nicely, and I just find them generally so elegant and easy to dress down or up! Perfect :)








On another note, my hair is ridiculously long and verging on out-of-control-level, so I've been trying new hairstyles to keep it neat and tame. I've never been particularly great at doing my hair :( but an Asos tutorial popped up on my YouTube dashboard, and I tried it out - this being the result! Not badddd I guess; and I think it goes really nicely with the dress.

 (Stole this photo off another post I did recently, because I forgot to take a photo of them this time round, but these are the sandals I wore with my outfit) 



I tried to pair the dress with both a chunky black button-less knit cardigan, and a lighter nude cardigan. I'm not really sure which one I prefer! I guess they both work well, depending on the accessories you choose to wear! 



 Check out the Zara sale HERE. They have some great pieces up for grabs!

Gingham Mini


Hey guys! So my parents came to visit me last week for a few days! It was great fun, and I'll be updating regularly on the outfits I wore in that time.  Thought I'd write a short 'n' sweet post about one of the outfits I wore this weekend whilst we visited my boyfriend's family for a good ol' bbq in the sun! 

I bought this cute gingham skirt some time ago from New Look, and other than on a couple of nights out, I've never worn it as a daytime outfit. 


I took advantage of the sunny weather and paired it up with my teal sheer-back top from All Saints! Again, I desperately need some sandals. I'm on the hunt! 


Okay, so I know that this is really short on the booty area, but I was walking by the river for agesssss and it kept riding up to the point that I lost the energy to keep pulling it down - probably not the best option for a sunny hike looking back on it.

- Playsuit & Docs -

Here's my latest laid-back look that I wore to watch the London marathon on Sunday, which luckily passed right outside my flat. I really needed a casual summery playsuit that I could just throw on without too much thought, and I found this cute little number in New Look for an amazing bargain. I also found an adorable gingham pencil mini skirt, which I'll hopefully feature in another post soon! 


 I think that girly items like this look amazing with a slight edge, so I paired my playsuit with an oversized cardigan and my trusty Doc Martens, which can literally shake up any outfit and look super cute!
