WINTER WHITE



Let's be be real for moment, it ain't legs out weather right now in the UK. You won't even catch me up in the clurrrb without a pair of 60 deniers on. Brave against the cold, i am not, but I am also not a complete psychopath that would put a pair of black tights with a white two-piece that was made for the summer. Time to fess up, a fashion blogger i am not, I'm just a mere gal with a love of clothes who occasionally likes to blog about it, who also may get side-tracked with things like real life.
When i agreed to pop this sweet little set upon my blog it was way back when the sun actually came out. A little out of time this may be, also because I don't think this is even in stock anymore, HOWEVER, it's from an up and coming company called luxemme, over here, who have many, many other lovely things that combine manchester cool with paris chic.

The two-piece itself has little eyelet detailing on the top half, along with tie up sides and scallop cutting around the edge. The material is just right, and I mean this as you have to be careful with white, too thick and well, not ideal for summer. Too thin and everyone knows what colour you knickers are wearing. I paired it with ankle boots and fuex suede jacket, I felt too exposed without it. But also because it felt a little too girlie on it's own.

COLONEL MUSTARD


I am fully embracing the seventies vibes going on in the high street lately, as you can see. I've never had quite so many compliments on a jacket, as I have on this missguided beauty! I sized down for this, and it fits perfectly. Being short, the cropped arms are a dreaaaam. I splurged on the jumper and these boots from ASOS last pay day, and boy, have they served me well. I adore the bright colours of the jumper, it's something my wardrobe has been severely lacking lately, and although we are technically coming into summer now, who are we kidding, it's still fairly chilly in cheery ol' England, so yes.. colours for summer dreams.. knits for reality. 

I have no idea what's going on with blogger lately, but my images just look awful after uploading them, so I apologise for the quality :/

SHE'S A WATERFALL

Dress - Missguided
Hat - Topshop (similar)
Boots - ASOS
Coat - Topshop (old)

Just a quick one today, as most the photo's I took for this were turning out blurred and out of focus, so I'll keep it short.
This is my latest go-to dress. If I'm going out and cannot be bothered to style a new outfit, I've literally just been throwing this paisley shirt-dress on. It's very loose fitting, It just feels like a super oversized mens shirt, I love it. 
On this occasion I threw on my fave coat, this mint green number I bought from Topshop about two years ago, it made me feel slightly less lazy.

LOST SOULS FOREVER | OOTD

Kasabian Jumper - Official Merch
Jeans - Primark
Shirt - Missguided
Scarf - Primark
Shoes - River Island (similar)
Watch - Vivienne Westwood

Today's outfit is a super comfy get up, that is completely dedicated to probably my favourite band, Kasabian. 
Last night was spent at the LG Arena in Birmz, at the Kasabian gig (they were completely unbelievable as usual and I may post a separate blog about it) So as you can imagine, today is spent nursing a slightly sore head, whilst being incredibly tired, so I've thrown this together to get me by. 

I bought the jumper from a Kasabian gig a few years ago, and I don't think they sell it anymore :( 
I found the jeans in primark for about a fiver in the sale, so naturally can no problem cutting them up, although I have made a deadly error in cutting the length too short (even for me) Paired with everyones favourite scarf this season, the faux fur one (£10 from Primark!) I am quite content spending my sunday lounging about in this.

What are your perfect "hangover" ensembles? I find it's very hard to part with pj's on days like this, but unavoidable if you're happen to have a super busy weekend.

PENNY LANE | OOTD

Coat (NastyGal - Ebay win)
Dress (Missguided)
High neck jumper (Primark)
Bag (Asos)
Boots (Missguided)

I've been terribly naughty and neglected my little ol' blog for the past however many months, I've been caught up in all boring stuff like real life. I haven't even had a chance to indulge in some new threads, so this post is largely made up of relatively old-ish stuff. The coat was a recent purchase, I won it on Ebay for thirty squid, it's absolutely gorgeous but already has mulled wine stains on it (whoops - festive accidents) 

I recently wore this outfit, minus the high neck jumper underneath and thick black tights to a Paolo Nutini gig (which I was supposed to blog about..) and I've been wearing the ensemble at least once a week since, a little bit because I adore the look and makes me feel like a throwback queen but mostly because I'm too lazy to come up with new outfit ideas.

I have admittedly been stuck in a bit of rut when it comes to blogging lately, and I've never been the most scheduled blogger that stuck to a routine of any sort, but I've definitely struggled a lot with thinking of new and exciting things to put on here, however I am trying, you'll just have to bear with me.
In the mean time however, I'd really appreciate any sort of advice you guys have for this sort of thing, or any opinions on what kind of posts you like to see, let me know in the comments :)

IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE | OOTD


Kimono (topshop)
Cropped Shirt (Missguided)
Trousers (ASOS)
Fluffy Bag (River Island)
Shoes (topshop)
Hat (River Island/asos - similar, kind of (not really))



So very sorry about being back to taking my outfit posts inside, this is due to a mix of bad weather and my go-to photographer is on holiday and it's waaaay easier to do it myself inside (even if the quality of these images are well, crap)  I've spoilt myself last payday, and as a holiday to mexico is fast approaching, it's something I'm almost regretting, however, look how great all these things look!! 
I've wanted a feather bag for so so long, and everytime (EV.ER.Y.TIME) I see one I like, I never have the money to buy and then it's sold out by the time I have. So, I indulged on this coral babe. It looks very perfect, but it's even smaller than it looks :(
I've been wearing this kimono loads lately, probably because it's so versatile, but mostly because I feel like an Olsen twin wearing it. I've had to talk myself out of taking it on holiday with me, sob. 
I also nabbed this hat in the Asos sale for £13, It fits my childishly small head just fine, it truly is the hat of dreams.

COACHELLA SHMOACHELLA // OOTD

(hat - asos. cami - topshop. lace shorts - topshop. jacket - river island. boots - missguided. necklace - river island)


If I had either a magic lamp that contained a genie to grant my wildest wishes, or even just a spare couple of grand, I would be in California this weekend (or even next, I'm not picky) to attend Coachella music festival. But since I don't have either of those things, I've had to make do with channelling my inner festi-queen spirit through my clothes and make do with spotify to fulfil my musical needs. 

This is definitely something I would take with me to a festival this summer, although I'll probably have to trade these boots for a pair of wellies instead. The shorts were something I found last summer in Topshop, and haven't even worn since! (no judgement here please, we ALLLL do this) 
I picked up the necklace yesterday, it was a bit of an impulse buy, but thought it would jazz up some of my day-time, summer outfits - and who can say no to daisies, really?

I definitely think I'll be doing a festival special on this blog - outfits, essentials, ect. But I'll wait until June time (just before I head off to Glastonbury) so watch this space...

Which festivals (if any) are you attending this year? or which would be your dream to go to? let me know in comments :)
