203. My 'go to' lazy day outfit

Necklace:  H&M

Jumper:  Vintage

Jeans:  New Look (Parisian range)

Boots:  New Look

 

Hey lovers,

 

Friday is here and as I went out last night with some friends I was feeling a lazy day was needed, however I did need to pop into uni to get my results. Therefore I opted for my 'go to' outfit when I am feeling lazy but still want to look stylish and I thought I would show you. I don't often wear jeans but they are the ultimate lazy-day bottoms (not before pj bottoms, of course!) for a day like today and these jeans are super comfy! I also chucked on my slightly oversized jumper and was good to go! I then added my gold chain necklace for a little detail and my ankle boots from New Look, which as you can see are well worn as they are so easy to walk in and give me a little extra height!

 

I also put together a little video for you guys, feeling creative today!

 

 



 

202. It's a funny sort of day

Coat:  Vintage Collar Clips:  Home made - DIY Shirt:  Vintage Jeans:  New Look (Extremely old!) Shoes:  New Look/Charity Shop  

Hey there beauties!

 

Today I went for a little shopping spree with my Mum and my Nan and Grandad. We popped to B&M as we had never been before and I had seen the perfect bedside tables for my new room (more news on that soon!), so we thought we would explore! It is absolutely amazing in there, like The Range but cheaper! And I do love The Range. If you haven't been or heard of it already then check out the website here. The only downside is that you cannot order online which is a little annoying, so use the search bar to see if there is a store near you :)

 

Anyway, I was feeling rather casual but classic today and this is what I came up with. I usually always tuck in shirts or blouses into my bottoms as I think I look bigger than I am if I leave them hanging out (which is not good mixed with my short 5 foot height!), but I felt it kind of worked today. I have had these jeans for absolute jeans! Since I started working at New Look, which is over 5 years ago, so they are extremely old but I still love them! I thought I would add a little detail with my gold collar clips that I made using a pair of vintage earrings and a gold chain to attach. I still have plenty of earring left over so I will be selling them very soon on my Etsy store :) Lastly I finished with my white pointed shoes which have a low heel to give my outfit a classic, sophisticated look, and of course my vintage coat which I can not stop wearing!!

 

I don't know about you guys and where you live but the weather is really horrible at the moment! It's so muggy at hot, it's a job to know weather to even bother with a coat or not! I jolly hope the sun makes an appearance soon, I'm getting fed up of not knowing what to wear! ;)

201. That Fairy Feeling

Headband:  Crown and Glory

Jumper:  Charity Shop

Belt:  New Look

Shorts:  Charity Shop

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello lovelies,

 

Today I felt rather girly and fairy-like when I opted for this outfit. I bought these shorts from a charity shop last summer and had yet to wear them so I decided today would be the day! I have since come to the conclusion that these shorts are supposed to be pj bottoms but I'll still wear them as I think they look really sweet all the same and work nicely with this lilac jumper which I also thrifted. I also think they would look really cute with a little cami top too. 

 

As I was feeling 'fairy-like' it only seemed right that I wear my first and only Crown and Glory headband, which my chummie Paige gifted to me. I absolutely love the Crown and Glory range. Everything is so pretty and girly, I wish I could just buy it all! I'm going to have to add to my collection very soon, I cannot resist any longer! Especially the headbands as they are just perfect for the summer days (which we are yet to see!). If you haven't checked out their website then please do, it is full of such wonderful pieces from headbands to bows and much, much more! http://crownandglory.bigcartel.com/

Hello, hello!

 

I feel it's pretty ironic that my first 'ootd' since I have been away is number 200...Haha! A nice round number to come back on I think :) So here is my first outfit of the day post in a while, as promised. I have to say it was pretty tricky taking the photo's today as I have been gone for so long I literally felt like I didn't know how to do it anymore. That's kind of scary for me, because as I said yesterday I would hate this to be like I am starting from the beginning again and learning everything all over again seeing as I've worked so hard to get to this point. Ah well, whatever will be will be I guess!

 

Anyway, today is the first day in a long time where I have actually been happy with my outfit and how I look, the first day I have actually made an effort in a very long time! I love this paisley print skirt from Urban Outfitters as you don't need anything to fussy to style it up so I've just gone for a simple black t-shirt and gold chain necklace. I thought I would add the pop socks for fun too.

 

Ah, enough ramblings from me! Time to sort out my new bedroom! (More news on this very soon!!) Have a lovely evening all!

Hello beauties,

 

Another outfit post for you this week, you lucky so and so's ;) I have been getting up half an hour earlier than I usually would to take outfit photos so hopefully I can keep this up and keep you posted more regularly on what I'm wearing.

 

I went for a pretty casual but still chic outfit today as I was off to London again and had a very busy day ahead of me so I wanted to wear something comfortable but still stylish. I also wore my fur coat with this as it was absolutely freezing today!!

 

Have you all had a good week? I had my first toile review yesterday for my finaly collection in uni and my feedback was so positive it really built up my confidence knowing that I am on the right track :) I was absolutely beaming afterwards and pretty much my whole group was after their tutorials too which was awesome!

 

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Evening beauties!

 

As promiced I have an outfit for you! Sorry, again, for it being so long but I hope the wait was worth it. I bought these trousers from Zara on Tuesday. They were infact in the sale for £9.99 down from £35.99 so I was very impressed and thought I'd better bag them quick! I've gone for quite a casual look with a plain black top, black jacket and black wedge boots but adding a bit of detail and interest with my gold chain necklace from Forever 21.

 

It turns out my friend Victoria was wearing an extremely similar outfit today (twinnies!), and considering we are always together in uni it did look a little funny, haha! I think we may be spending too much time together... My other friend's RT and Charlotte were also wearing printed trousers, my oh my it should be national printed trousers day! Were any of you lovelies wearing printed trousers today too?

 

 

190. Hold the one you love

Necklace:  H&M

Top:  New Look

Skirt:  New Look (kids) 

 

Hello beauties,

Above is today's outfit. I bought the top and the skirt yesterday from work, luckily there was one more of these skirts left and although it was a bit big I bought it anyway and just took it in this morning for a better fit. I just love it so much. The floral print is gorgeous and the colours just work so well together. To show it off I just paired it with a plain black t-shirt, a gold chain necklace and my lovely new earrings which you can see below.
 

I also filmed a little video this morning of my outfit which you can watch below so please take a look! And I want to say a special big thank you to my friend's cousin, Hanna West for letting me use her music. She has such a beautiful voice so please check out her Sound Cloud page and show your support!

 

188. Geek Chic

Bag: Charity Shop

Everything else:  New Look

 

Good morning beauties!

 

I am up bright and early today as I have work, yet again...But hey ho, I thought I would get outside and take my outfit photos as it will be dark by the time I get home. I'm going for a sort of 'Geek Chic' look today with the geek glasses but I quite like it. I have had these geek glasses for a while now but haven't actually worn them because I think they make me look too geeky, but I'm going with it today and embracing the geek look! We'll see what people think, I don't know why I care but I do. Horrible trait to have. Does anyone else care what other people think about what they wear etc even when you know you shouldn't?

 

Anyway, Merry Christmas Eve, Eve! I hope you all have a lovely day and please check out my YouTube video if you haven't already. Another will be coming very soon!!

 

187. It's us against the world

Jumper:  Charming Magpie's

Skirt:  In love with fashion

Socks:  Peacocks

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello everyone!

 

Here is today's look, all warm and snug in my vintage jumper and lace socks! I bought these socks yesterday from Peacocks and they're actually age 7-10 but still fit so I'm happy haha! I've gone a bit monochrome today without that intention, but I still really like this outfit dispite the lack of colour. Infact I mainly wanted to wear the pleated skirt as I mentioned it in my YouTube video yesterday as it's one of my new favourites. If you haven't already seen my first video click here and please give a thumbs up or subscribe if you want to see more! I did do another video this afternoon on the charity items that I bought today, however it was all out of focus so I'll shoot it again tomorrow hopefully. Stay tuned!!

 

Hope you're all getting in the festive mood, I'll be doing a Christmas post on Christmas Eve :) Have a lovely weekend!

 



186. Everything at once

Blazer:  Charity Shop

Blouse:  New Look (old)

Shorts:  Greece

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello lovelies!

 

This is my outfit for today, feeling very festive with the red. I bought this blazer in Farnham on Wednesday when I was visiting my boyfriend. I saw it on the rail and instantly fell in love with the colour and pattern but it looked massive! I couldn't resist trying it on anyway and then I fell into an even deeper love! Ha! Sooo I bought it, and with a bit taken in at the sides and arms and the shoulders raised here it is! It is still over-sized but I really like that with vintage clothes so I'm happy with the way it looks :) What do you think?

 

Also, I will be posting about my latest giveaway tomorrow evening, as promiced, to celebrate Silent Sweetheart reaching over 300 followers so keep an eye out for that!

Evening all!

 

Sorry for the late post, my internet has been playing up over the last few days but I finally managed to upload a post! I went charity shopping in Farnham yesterday with my boyfriend and bought this lovely blouse with the gorgeous embroidered collar. Now, anyone who knows me, especially you Paige, will know that I have many, many blouses in all different colours and collar styles and I said I wouldn't buy any more, but this one just stole my heart (Ha!) and for a large it's actually not too oversized and baggy which I love. Plus I figured I could wear it underneath jumpers and dresses as it's quite thin so it's easy to layer. So that is what I did today and layered it with my floral dress from Urban Outfitters alongside my trusty chelsea boots.

 

As you may know from my last post I haven't had the best of weeks, however seeing my boyfriend yesterday really cheered me up and made me relax and de-stress - plus the retail therapy which always helps! I also saw my lovely friend, Charlie, who helped me out a huge amount with my uni work and just generally getting me excited and motivated about my work. I don't know what it is about her but she just has a way of inspiring you and pulls out all of these fantastic ideas! She has recently started working at a place called Grand Cafe in Southampton, where I live, and it is gorgeous inside! We have made a few plans to benefit both of us which I will share with you tomorrow along with some images of the gorgeous interior so look out for that!

 

I hope you've all had a lovely day!
