ASOS 90s STYLE DUNGAREES

T-shirt: Topshop | Dungarees: ASOS | Bomber: H&M | Necklace: Topshop | Shoes: Rihanna x Puma

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

I featured these ASOS dungarees in my December wishlist, so my best friend had a peek & ever so sneakily bought them for me for Christmas! Yay! They're denim but they don't really feel like it - on ASOS they're actually described as 'stretch cotton denim' which really is how I would explain the feel of the material. This makes them so much easier to move in, & they don't have the restrictive feeling that the more old-school tough denim dungarees have. Apart from being super comfy, the thing I like most about them is that they can double up as both dungarees and as trousers if you wear something over the top of them. Sometimes I find myself getting into a monotonous cycle of just wearing black skinny jeans everyday, and feeling quite uninspired, but this is such a fantastic alternative, while still allowing you to remain weather-appropriate.

NIKE AIR TRAINER 1 // SUBDUED ISLAND COLLECTION

Jumper: Weekday | Jeans: Topshop | Coat: M&S | Trainers: Nike via Offspring

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

Am I the only one who receives those relentless what-feels-like-daily e-mails from brands about their current offers or new in products? 99% of the time, my bank account dictates that I delete those e-mails without so much as a peep, but every so often, I can't resist a cheeky look.

This happened nearly a year ago with one of Footlocker's emails, advertising Nike's new range of Air Premiums from their "Subdued Island" collection; inspired by island landscapes, which apparently meant the coolest shades ever! As soon as I saw the 'Light Redwood' ones, they were mine! (emotionally)

At a painful £105, I couldn't justify the purchase, but I waited out loyally, and found them again several months later, reduced to just £45. By the way, they're now at £35, people! Anyway, I was really excited about these because I was anticipating some cool new outfits. They're the perfect pop of colour - not too bright, though - while also adding a chilled/street/androgynous vibe to any look. Oh and they're also SO comfy. I'm really starting to appreciate comfort in my old age...

PARTY LOOK: LEATHER SKIRT & SPARKLY TOP

Top: Peacocks | Skirt: H&M | Coat: Primark | Bag: Pimkie | Flats: Zara

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

I've been after a faux leather skirt for ages, but due to my pear-shaped figure, I've never tried one on that didn't risk showing my bits after about 10 minutes into wearing it - why do they make them so short? Of course, this H&M one is still very short, there's no avoiding that fact, really, but I like how the slight A-line shape makes it more appropriate while also skimming over the hips to flatter my shape nicely.

I paired it with this sparkly high-neck top from Peacocks, which I have to say, sheds glitter like there's no tomorrow! Still, I absolutely love this look - it's one of those fantastic transitional outfits that's great for anything from a dinner, right to a party or club.

CHRISTMAS DAY OUTFIT

Dress: H&M | Belt: H&M | Pumps: Zara | Scarf: Avon

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

Better late than never I suppose! Even though our Christmas fever has long subsided by now, I figured I would still post this look, purely because it's so wearable and appropriate for so many different occasions - and at only £19.99 for this cute lace dress, where can you go wrong? At some point last year, I completely gave up on everything lace; I felt like it had been so over-done and it failed to draw me in, but when I saw this dress in H&M, the colour and general aesthetic had me immediately. It's so simple, but at the same time, I have nothing like it, and it's so easy to dress up for a nice dinner, or alternatively pair with chunky boots or even trainers, for a more casual vibe. The belt, also from H&M, was one of the most exciting purchases I'd made in a while, not only because it's incredibly versatile, but because I've finally found one that fits my little waist.

WHITE ASOS FLATS

Jumper: H&M | Jeans: M&S | Bag: Pimkie | Shoes: ASOS | Coat: Primark

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

I've been forever hunting for some snazzy day time shoes, which are also appropriate for a smart/casual night time outfit, and I think I finally found them with these ASOS 'Miami Flats'. Not only are they really easy to style, but the eyelet detailing make them slightly different while still being super adaptable!

DO YOU THINK I LIKE GREY?

Jumper: Primark (mens) | Jeans: Levis via Motel Vintage | Hat: H&M | Coat: Primark | Shoes: Adidas

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

Honestly, 50% of the time, I have no energy to really put much thought into my outfits, so this is pretty much my go to look these days. I dunno if anyone agrees with me, but I'm not one of those people who believes in "suffering for fashion". I hate being cold; it really ruins my day. So these days, when I roll out of bed and just can't be bothered, I make a beeline for my grey woolly hat, any old knit, my Primark coat, some jeans, and my Adidas superstars, which have been so worn in over the years, they're pretty much the comfiest things I own. I do have new pairs of shoes and clothes, which I probably should be making use of, especially with the incentive of creating new content for my blog. But sometimes a gal just wants to stick to what she knows best, you feel me?

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,

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!
