182. Blue Suede Shoes (boots)

 



Hat:  New Look
Blazer:  Charity Shop
Necklace:  H&M
Top:  New Look
Disco Pants:  River Island
Boots:  New Look
 
Ah, second post of today! I did have another but thought I'd better leave that one for tomorrow, don't want to overload you all! Anyway, this is today's outfit. I couldn't, and still sort of can't, decide whether or not the blue blazer and blue boots was a bit much especially with the hat but I thought I'd go with the flow and just wear it anyway! I'm off out with a couple of friends in mo for a much needed catch up so if I get any funny looks I'll know what they're thinking, ha!
 
I wasn't actually going to blog or Lookbook this look because my best images came out really grainy, but I thought the two at the top weren't so bad, plus it has been a century since I uploaded an outfit!! So anyway, what do you think? I bought the boots and the hat yesterday when I went shopping (which will be mentioned in tomorrow's post) so I was eager to wear them both today. I know it may not be to some people's taste, but hey ho! I'm going with the flow! ....And rhyming apparently?!
 
Enjoy your weekend!

172. Do you believe in life after love?



Jacket:  Topshop
Blouse:  Romwe
Necklace:  Forever 21 (similar)
Disco Pants:  River Island
Boots:  New Look

Evening all! This is today's look - sorry about the photo's, they didn't turn out so great. Due to the awful weather I had to be quick, so I doubt it will get much response on Lookbook but hey ho! I really like this biker look with my bright blue blouse to brighten up the outfit. I am also wearing my new studded boots from New Look and I absolutely LOVE them! I cannot wait to style them some more.
 
I went to see my lovely friend Victoria today for a catch up before we go back to uni, which was really lovely as I haven't seen her in weeks!! We just browsed the shops today and bought a few bits of make-up. We always seem to buy make-up when we're together - no wonder I have so many lipsticks!
 
Lastly I have to appologise as my review for the shape underwear will not be up now until the end of the week. I did wear them on Saturday however I was ill so I could not give a full review. Now that I am better I will be testing them out again this week so that I can give a full and honest review.
 
I hope you're all ok and loving this fantastic weather we're having...

164. Fire In Your Eyes




Blazer:  Charity Shop
Top:  Topshop/Charity Shop
Disco Pants:  River Island
Shoes:  New Look
 
Hello lovelies! How is your bank holiday weekend going? This is what I'm wearing today as the weather is rather gloomy outside. I tell you what, I am getting pretty fed up with this weather! I wish it would just make it's mind up already! Rant over. Ha.
 
Anyway, today I am wearing my almighty comfy disco pants from River Island paired with my orange Topshop crop top for a pop of colour. I am also wearing my velvet blazer which I found in a charity shop in Farnham. I thought I had lost it for ages but luckily I found it this morning and I am so glad as I love it! Lastly I am wearing these cute lace-up wedge shoes from New Look to finish the look. What do you think? I don't usually wear outfits with my tummy out but I thought I would today :) Hope you like it!

160. When did we all get so fearful?




Bag:  DIY
Blazer:  H&M
Necklace:  Corfu
Top:  New Look (Very old)
Disco Pants:  River Island
Shoes:  New Look

Hello! This is today's look as the weather isn't too great today. It started out sunny and now it's gloomy and raining *sigh*. Anyway, I based this outfit around my disco pants today as it's the first proper day that I am wearing them, so I went for spots and stripes for a contrasting look. I seriously cannot express how comfortable these pants are!! What do you think of the tro prints together?

158. Under the Sun




Sunglasses:  Dublin
Dress:  Urban Outfitters
Belt:  New Look
Bag:  Charity Shop
Shoes:  New Look
 
 
Hey sweeties! Isn't the weather gorgeous today?! I was having trouble thinking of a title for this post and then I started to watch Cheryl Cole's new song, just randomly, and the lyrics 'under the sun' just seemed to fit perfectly! So thank you, Cheryl Cole, for inspiring the post title :)
 
 
Anyway, on to the outfit! I went shopping with my lovely friend Victoria today and as the sun was shinning I didn't want to wear anything too layered or chuncky so I went for this dress. At first I thought it was a bit silly, thinking I would be way too hot in a dark green dress, but I was suprisingly cool! Haha. I've nipped in the dress at the waist with a belt and decided to use my beautiful new bag which I bought last week from a charity shop in Farnham. Finishing with a pair of small wedge, lace-up shoes to complete the outfit and I am wearing my hair up for a change too! What do you think?
 
 
I have been hearing the hype about these River Island disco pants and I have always wanted a pair but just couldn't bring myself to spend £70 on a pair of American Apparel ones. So, seeing as I was shopping I thought I would try out the River Island ones and Oh My! I looove them! They fit perfectly and are so comfortable! And for £30, well, what more need I say?! If you have been uming and ahing like me then I would definitely recommend trying the River Island ones. They fit great and the material is thick - not thin like leggings which is what I have heard about a few pairs of AA replicas, and they are high-waisted too! I cannot stop praising them!


Anyway, enough of my rambling! Happy Friday!

135. Or so they say..






Jacket:  River Island
Dress:  From a friend
Shoes:  Platforms

Hello, hello! How are you all today? Wearing this really lovely daisy dress today which Paige found in a charity shop and adjusted and then kindly let me have :) I've paired it with this blazer which I bought from River Island last year and I honestly wasn't sure if it would go with the daisy print on the dress, but personally I think it works. What do you think? I really love the clashing prints but somehow the colours all go together. I have then kept it simple with thick black tights and my brown platform shoes which I cannot stop wearing lately!! They are just so comfortable!

Hope you lovelies like it! :)

128. You are my one true love



 



Necklace:  Primark
Dress:  New Look (Old)
Socks:  Topshop
Sandals:  River Island (Old)
Nail Varnish:  NYC 221 Spring Street
Bag:  Present

Hello lovely people! How are you all? As you can see I have been under going some changes on my blog, only slight changes mind because I get too scared that I will lose everything and have to start all over again! But what do you think? I am still finding out how to do certain things so it isn't perfect yet but I'm liking the change :)

Today's outfit is rather simple but also quite lady-like to celebrate the Jubilee. I wanted to wear this denim dress, mainly for comfort, but also for a 50's feel matching it with the pearl necklace, white lace pop socks and white sandals. I also added in my Vogue shoe bag for the photo's to give it that vintage feel. Hope you like it!

114. It's times like these







Flower:  New Look
Top:  DIY/Self Made
Belt:  Vintage
Skirt:  Borrowed from Paige Calvert
Shoes:  Primark
Rings:  River Island, Aldo, Urban Outfitters


Evening all! This was one of the looks from yesterdays shoot with Paige. In this outfit I have borrowed her mint green skirt, which I love! If you're wondering where it's from then visit her blog here and you can contact her :)

I quite like this outfit as it's quite feminine and spring-like, plus I am really into mint green garments at the moment (although I don't own any in this colour as of yet!). The lace top I made two years ago and managed to dig it out of my wardrobe for this outfit.

Hope you've all had a good Thursday!

108. I've seen it in the flights of birds






Flower:  New Look
Belt:  Vintage
Shoes:  River Island

I feel like I have just stepped out of the 1950's today - which I love! I would have loved to have been born back then to wear pretty floral dresses every day, but alass I wasn't. Fortunately, thanks to Sugarhill Boutique sending me this gorgeous navy and white swallow and polka dot dress, I can dream for the day. I have accessorized the dress with a chunky white belt, a white flower in my hair and white sandals inkeeping with the navy and white theme of the dress. It also has a lace-up back which you can see in the image below.




There is just something about this dress that would make anyone feel girly! And looking on the Sugarhill Boutique website I can imagine feeling pretty and feminine in any of their clothes! I came across the website a few weeks ago, after seeing their Facebook page I just had to look at the website and I literally fell in love! If you haven't already heard of Sugarhill Boutique I urge you to click on the link to their website and take a look as there is bound to be something you'll love! Here are a few of my favourites from the site:
