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.

MEN'S JUMPERS > EVERYTHING


I'm such a sucker for comfy knits and jumpers; it's pretty much the best thing about the Autumn and Winter months! I don't know if it's just me, but I always tend to gravitate towards men's jumpers before women's ones! In this case, I decided to give Primark a cheeky browse last weekend, but the women's sections were so unbelievably packed that I could only bear facing the men's, which is where I picked up this little number! Serendipity, I guess! 



I haven't worn my black skinnies and Doc Martens for quite a while, so I embraced the cooler weather to pair them with my new jumper! So simple but I love it!

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.

| A New Combination |



Sooo... this look is definitely different and more girly than what I tend to go for. But this weekend, I thought I'd ditch my usually slouchy and monochrome getup, and dress up a little for a dinner date with my boyfriend. 

I must say that I wasn't too sure about these jeans when I first bought them. I really really wanted some white ones so that I could gradually stray away from my insistent black/grey choices, but being white, they just didn't have the same slimming effect as all my other pairs, and as I'm fairly well endowed in the hip and bottom area, I wasn't sure as to how they would look. But I decided to give them a go, and teamed them up with this gorgeous beaded crop and my coral-y blazer, as well as my cute beaded sandals, which I usually have a hard time pairing outfits with.




I was also so happy to wear my beaded Topshop crop, which, having been quite expensive, is an item that I probably haven't made as much use of as I should have. A recurring problem regarding this top is that I've never really had much to wear it with, and usually only wear it with skirts, which would always then make the blazer situation more difficult, so I was glad to be able to put all these lovely items to good use in one outfit.
