Hi all!! Hope you had a lovely weekend!

As you may be able to tell from the outfit pictures, the sun is just not making an appearance. It seems to rain 5 minutes, the next it's windy to the extent you feel like your going to get thrown over! It's a real challenge trying to figure out what to wear, and so I just went with this number today...

Still in the essence of the sport-luxe trend, I threw on something a little more casual/laidback. I love the whole boyfriend jean with sandals look that's popping around everywhere, I really need to grab a pair of those Zara strappy heels that are on everyone's feet, I've been lusting over some simular one's on eBay, my watch list is overloaded with variations of them lol I think it's time I just got a pair :D

I wanted to try and jazz the outfit up a little rather than a bog standard sweatshirt and jeans so I thought I'd pop some funky socks on and show them off a bit to give the outfit a bit more detail, and I quiet like the idea to be honest!!

Look: Monochrome Fishnet...


Fishnet Dress: eBay £24.99
Tshirt: (Old)
Pleather Trousers: H&M £24.99
Wedge Hi-Tops: Primark £18
Watch: Michael Kors* 

Hello my lovlies!!!

Hope you all had a fab bank holiday!! The weather is just gorj at the moment, my whole wardrobe is finally transformed with much more exciting clothing, hoorah!! :DD

I thought I'd show you all what I've been up to recently within today's outfit. I've been a little busy bee making and creating a few pieces of clothing and one of them being this fishnet dress. I'm currently in love with the whole sport-luxe trend with the addition of pairing different transparent-y (if that's even a word! ha!) layers. I love the look of mesh layers and net layers with over-sized tees and tops, I think it looks really minimal and laid-back at the same time, but in a way looks like you've made a real effort with your outfit if that makes sense... The dress is up on eBay if any of you like it, to order!!

I'm also finally busting out my MK watch!! I had a recent trip to London and went shopping and had the watch on me so I managed to get it re-sized and I can't get it off my wrist since, I'm so in love with it!!

I also wanted to say thank you to all of you for the response on my 'How I Style' post previously, I'm so glad that you all liked it and I'm deffo going to have some more coming up along the way :D But it was extremely satisfying being out and shooting today's outfit for you all, it seemed like AGES since I'd done a usual outfit post, and I truly had missed it even though I got attacked by about 4 bees today :( Don't you just hate the little buzzers lol I really dislike the fact that they try and get stuck in my hair and I end up dancing around like a fool trying to get them out!! I did have to run like a road runner back into the house at least 4 times but it was quiet funny :P

Hi all!! I hope your all doing well and enjoying the lovely sun we've been having! (finally)

I thought I'd do something a little different for all of you today rather than a outfit post or any of the others. It is my first 'How I Style' posts. I'm not sure how your all going to like it, but I hope you do find it somewhat helpful if any of you have 'Mom Jeans'...

If you follow me on Instagram, you will have noticed that I finally got my hands on Topshop's 'Mom Jeans' a few days back. I've been lusting over them for SO long I just had to finally get them. I love the whole 90's feel to them but also being able to pair so many gorj crops with them for the summer, they are just perfect :)

I decided to put together four super quick looks, nothing to hard to find, most of them are quiet of the 'basics' like a cropped spring knit, checkered shirt and cropped tees, so anyone can pair something up quiet easily with them. The jeans do come turned up at the bottom so they look super cute with ankle boots, or even the whole jelly sandals and frilly socks (which is another purchase on my mind haha!). The denim is a tad bit lightweight so perfect for the summer and taking them into winter you can always pop a pair of leggings on underneath!

Anyhow, let me know if you would like me to do any more 'How I Style' posts or if there's anything in particular you would like to styled differently...!

Mini Haul: Primark, Topshop & Michael Kors...

Monochrome Stripe Shirt: Primark £12
Mickey Tshirt: Primark £6
Socks: Topshop £8 for 3 pairs
All Primark: Foundation/Concealer Brush £1.50, Nail file/buffer £1, Over the knee socks £2

Hi girlies!! I hope your all well and had a lovely weekend and good start of the week!

As promised here is my mini haul from when I was in London, it isn't much but I just wanted to share with you all :)

I don't know if this sounds silly but I'm SO excited to try out this foundation/concealer brush from Primark lol I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw they had make up brushes, I would've been silly if I didn't pick it up at £1.50!! Plus it's a gorj hot pink colour which looked so pretty to my eyes I thought "I'd love to apply my make up with that pretty brush!' haha! I have MAC brushes that my fiance got me last year as a gift but I still haven't used any of them purely down to not wanting to ruin them as they are so expensive... I've got no idea how this one is going to be, have any of you tried it yet? Let me know how it works for you!

I think it's safe to say that I may have unknown sock obsession :S I don't know where it's come from but I think it's all due down to my faux Doc's. I've noticed that ever since I bought them I've been getting endless amount of socks to pair with them. I love the whole trend of cute socks with Docs. I was so happy to see Topshop had a offer for 3 pairs for £8, I bagged some more frilly socks and these gorj monochrome block socks, I seriously cannot wait to sport them with my Doc's!

And as you all may have noticed the stripey shirt was seen in my previous outfit post, I just had to wear it I couldn't wait any longer lol but yeah I love that little number! I also bagged this Mickey tee just to lounge around in, I love the whole slogan tee trend and I thought this one looked a little sporty-luxe with the Adidas stripe take on it.

Last but not least, my gorgeous Michael Kors watch!! This was my 25th Birthday present from the fiance, so I didn't physically buy it lol I'm so in love with it, but sadly still haven't been able to wear it yet as the bracelets too big for me. I need to get some links taken out for my iddy biddy wrist lol I wasn't too sure at first if I liked rose gold or normal gold, but I love the rose gold now, it's different to a standard gold watch :) The Hugo Boss sunnies are also a birthday gift from my parents, I am actually hoping to get these done as normal specs as I've wanted some geek-chic specs for ages, and my glasses at the moment are totally battered, so I'm due an eye test for those and then i'll be rocking those soon too :p

Look: Striped Skulls...

Monochrome Shirt: Primark £12
Pleather Trousers: H&M £24.99
Faux Dr Marten's: Parmars £30
Necklace: Topshop 
Knuckle Duster Bag: eBay £27.99

Hi all!! I hope you all had a lovely Easter with tons of chocolate eggs as well as bank holiday!!

I'm SO glad the weather is picking up slowly, we've had some real random snowfalls which has made my wardrobe ever so confused, but it's nice to see that the sun's making it's way finally!

I recently bought this monochrome shirt from good old Primark on my stay in London for my birthday, I was sooo excited to show it you all, I'm in love with it! It's a bargain at £12 but at the same time it's got the perfect asymmetrical hem line to give it that extra bit of edge. It is a little sheer so a cami is needed underneath but it's the staple piece at a bargain price for the summer :)

I was in such a rush this morning so please don't mind my ever so messy up-do, however I do really like my hair like this personally? I just whooped it with one hair bobble and it literally took 2 minutes! Might just sport it more now!

Another little jem I wanted to add to this outfit is this knuckle duster clutch, it's embellished with diamante's and little gold skulls, and I am actually selling them on eBay here so if any of you like it, be sure to grab one from eBay, it also comes in white and they all have a shoulder chain too, so you can wear it on your shoulder if you like as well. 

I did want to share this shirt in my haul that I said I was going to do, but it's been sitting on my bedroom floor looking so pretty I just had to throw it on, but I will be doing a haul next as I've got a few little goodies that I want to share, so I will be doing that next! Anyhoww, I hope your all having a good start to the week as well as being back at work!! Speak soon!

Wednesday Wishes #8


1. Tragus Cuff Earring: Fresh Trends - As some of you may now from my previous posts I recently got my tragus pierced. It's almost coming to 4 weeks which means I can remove the stud that it was pierced with and start wearing some cool funky studs!! I've been looking around for something a little different rather than the standard stud and came across Fresh Trends, who have a new style of tragus studs that are in a cuff shape, I just fell in love with this skeleton hand cuff stud!!

2 and 4. Lion Head Ring: Etsy £8.46 Lion Head Necklace: Etsy  £16.20 - I'm still loving the whole Lion head trend with accessories, I was browsing on Etsy and was amazed at the amount of different styles that are up for sale, rings, bracelets, necklaces and even the earrings!! I think I'm going to end up with a whole set of lion head pieces lol.

3. Black Leather Look Perforated Shorts: River Island (On Sale) £10.00 - I could not believe my eyes when I saw these gorj shorts for only a tenner!! River Island have currently got their 50% sale on and there's a lot of nice things, these shorts was one that I think I'm just going to have to grab asap before they get sold out, they are the perfect piece for summer to put under tees and baggy tops!

5. Black and White Colour Block Cardigan: River Island (On Sale) £15.00 - Another piece from River Island on sale is this beaut of a cardigan, I'm loving the whole sport chic trend at the moment with it being monochrome at the same time and this cardi is just perfect for that. With minimal sporty stripes and monochrome contrast it's the go to, to throw on top of any tee to give it a layer of sporty-ness!!

6. Black Rihanna Boots: Rihanna for River Island £95.00 - Final item from River Island! lol. Soon as Rihanna's collection launched at River Island, these boots have been on my wishlist, for me they are the perfect summer boot, being edgy rough and tough all at the same time they can toughen up any look and make an outfit look super edgy, just a little bit of a hole in the pocket though but they are SO worth it!!

7. Homies Beanie: eBay £7.98 - I've been lusting over everything that;s got a spin on designer names. I've already got the Celine tee arriving in the post anytime soon, but I originally saw this beanie on Cara Delevingne in a magazine and I immediately thought "I need that on my head!" So I instantly searched on eBay and found one which went straight in my watch list, which soon will be bought! :p

Why Have You Been M.I.A?! - Update...


A mahoosive HIII and SORRY to you all!! Yes, I've been away from my blog for god knows how long! I'm really sorry for being a bad blogger and not letting you all know that you may not get posts :( But I didn't really want to mention that my Birthday was coming up, as I'm getting terribly old :( which was the reason of my absence...

Yep I turned 25 on the 11th of March, a whole quarter century!! Gosh it sounds ever so scary and frightening... I've lived a whole 25 years!! However, I did have an awesome day :DD I hadn't thought that my blog wouldn't hear from me at all, as I hadn't planned nothing for my birthday but to just spend it with family, but my sweetheart of a Fiance had a little birthday surprise up his sleeve, he only went and booked tickets to PARIS!!! :O And if that wasn't enough he also got me a Rose Gold Michael Kors watch!! I was in two minds whether I like gold or rose gold, but I think rose gold looks a little more classy...But yeah, I've been wanting to go Paris for ever so long but never actually thought about it seriously, and so he booked tickets as a birthday gift, which is the reason for me leaving you all in the lurch :( I went London on the night of my Birthday as we where supposed to be going on the 13th, so we kept the day after (12th) to get things sorted like exchange money into Euro's etc However, things didn't turn out as we hoped, unfortunately with all the snow we had the past week, Eurostar trains got cancelled!! :(:(:( We was SOOO disappointed but it's all good as we get to exchange the date, so we are now hoping to go during June time when the weather should be summery too *fingers crossed* lol. So yeah I just stayed over in London for a week and a half to spend time with my fiance and his family.

I can't not mention my delicious cake!! I had a cake that was in the shape of '25' with 2 being a chocolate sponge and 5 being a vanilla sponge mmmmmmm it had chocolate cigarettes all the way around the numbers, it was TOO yummy, thanks to mum and dad!! They also spoiled me with some Hugo Boss glasses that are like the 'geek' shape so I can't wait to wear those :D 

Putting this collage together of my stay in London, I've only just realized HOW much junk I've ate! lol. We've just been living on pizza's, latte's, chocolate waffles and cake :| Serious healthy greens now me thinks!! Usually I come back from London with bags full of spendings, but this time I've been good and not bought toooo much lol but instead ate like a right pig!! I will be doing a small haul of what I picked up whilst in London, it's not much but I'm super excited about one of my purchases that I want to share with you all so I'll do it anyway even though there's not much :P

It honestly feels so good to be back tapping away at my keyboard keys writing for you all, I really missed it!! It's only when you're away from blogging that you realize that you have a special attachment with people you've not even met before :S sounds weird and ever SO cheesy lol but I'm really excited and happy to be back in routine :D
