MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I took these photos about a week or so ago, but considering that they feature my super festive jumper, I thought what better time to post them than on Christmas Day? The Christmas jumper trend has blown up more than ever this year, the crazier and uglier the jumper, the better. I found this simple one in Spitalfields Market, and was fundamentally drawn to the olive green colour - my fave! I thought it would look cute with my new tapered cropped trousers - yay for Zara for actually having a pair that accommodate my tiny waist and large...rear. Now I'm on the lookout for some high-waisted ones, but hey, you can't have it all at once. Baby steps.

Please excuse the awkward faces in these photos - I was kinda struggling with a very uncomfortable cold sore :(

Also, I'm loving this choker I picked up in Topshop a couple of weeks back! Such a versatile and interesting piece, and I've received so many compliments about it already! 

Thanks for reading! 

Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas! 

BRICK LANE VINTAGE

I ventured into Brick Lane Market for the first time only a couple of weeks ago. I literally can't believe that I've left it until now to go; it's my new favourite place in London, for sure. It's absolutely buzzing with people, incredible food, creative stalls and amazing vintage pieces. I found the cutest little stall teeming with these oversized vintage shirts, and it took me ages to pick one because I loved most of them. Finally, I decided to go for a safer option that I felt was more wearable and versatile. Even though it's black, grey and white, the crazy pattern can spice up any outfit, and I added a pop of colour with my oxblood Dr. Martens.

STUDDED MONK SHOES

After publishing my previous blog post (here), I really couldn't get these studded monk shoes out of my head, and finally caved. Considering that they were on sale, reduced from £35 to just £19, it was an offer I couldn't really pass up, especially since I've been after a simple pair of black brogues/loafers for ages. I needed some shoes that went with pretty much anything, especially my white jeans and mom jeans, which I usually find quite hard pairing with any of the shoes I already own. These babies are super comfortable but are also versatile and quite unique due to the studs and monk strap; a detail that I've been seeing all over the place recently.

I also picked up this grey jumper from H&M; like I don't have enough grey in my wardrobe - doh! In all seriousness, though, many of the grey jumpers I do own, I find quite restricting, either in size or fit, but this one is just perfect! It's slightly over-sized, but still feminine, extremely soft and also stretchy, which allows for more movement. 

I teamed the jeans and shoes with a simple V-neck tee from Primark (the boys' section of course) and added a hint of girliness (but not too much) with the Chanel dupe bag. It was given to me by my boyfriend's mum after a spring clean of her wardrobe. She told me it was a fake, so I'll take her word for it, but it honestly looks and feels as real as can be - such great quality, and such an awesome touch to a simple outfit!

I'm also loving the cute bracelets in Urban Outfitters recently! 

Next, I'm going to try and experiment with my monk shoes for a slightly more edgy and out-there look! Watch this space!
