Outfit: Playful Summer!

Hey! I'm not sure playful summer is the correct title as we haven't had much of a summer this year in the UK although the weather is picking up now (yay!). The weather in Manchester at the moment is just so cloudy - so it's hot but with no sun so it's really humid. However, when the sun comes out it's gorgeous!

On Thursday i went out for my friends birthday we had a lovely meal and i finished it off with some caramel cookie and malteaser icecream ;) yummy but so filling! I wore my new playsuit which i shown you in my london haul. It's the first time i wore it out and got a few compliments which is nice, i definitely can't wait to wear it more and more!

I'd like to take this moment to explain the bright pink doors. My mum thought it'd be nice to bring some colour to the garden and i couldn't agree more! At first i wasn't keen on bright pink doors but it actually looks pretty funky in those outfit shots. The garden looks much more cheerful and summery now, no more boring brown - i do really like it!  What do you think?

Outfit: Leather & Studs.

Hi everyone! I have a fashion post for you today it feels like ages since i last posted an outfit.

Judging by the title you can probably tell two of my obsessions at the moment! I've wanted my mitts on a decent leather jacket for a long while now and i'm so delighted with this one i got from Zara whilst in London (see my haul here). In fact everything i'm wearing is from my London haul apart from the shoes which were a birthday present. Because, i'm sure i'm not the only one but as soon as i get new clothes i wear them constantly and cast everything else aside. I must of worn these jeans every other day since i got them and my leather jacket every time i've been out - it just seems to go with everything!

I'm loving dark colours at the moment - blacks, greys and more black! I don't know when i became so anti-colour but it happened! The most colour i wear these days is on my nails or lips. Hopefully now the weather is starting to pick up i might bring out some florals or maybe even my coral shorts ;) you never know! 

Is it just me who loves dark clothing? Or do you love a pop of colour?

London Trip - Three days, three outfits!

I realise i haven't posted any fashion/outfit posts in a while. I always run out of time, forget to take the pictures or have slopped food down me before i have chance! This really is story of my life. I have so many outfits i want to share with you so hopefully you will be bombarded with those soon...

You'll all probably know from my haul but, the boyfriend and i took a three day trip to London -shopping, a little sight-seeing and lots of eating out. I decided to put all three outfits in one post like a little 'look book'.


DAY 1.
The first day was our 'sight seeing' day - we went on the London Eye, did the London Dungeons had a wonder down the Thames and basically wandered everywhere!

Dress - H&M
Parka - New Look
Necklace - Primark

DAY 2
This day was our 'shopping day' - we had a huge walk down Oxford Street then to Harrods (talk about tiring) and had to get a cab back to the hotel in fear of our legs collapsing aha! We then went to see 'We Will Rock You' at the theatre which was amazing - by far the best show i've ever seen. Here is what i wore to the theatre, in the day i wore my Topshop Leigh jeans instead.

Peplum Top - H&M (also worn here)
Blazer - Primark 
Leather Jacket - Zara
Disco Pants Dupe - Very - Love Label 
Heeled Chelsea Boots - River Island
Necklace - Primark

DAY 3 
Unfortunately this was our last day in London which meant we had a quick run around Covent Garden and Oxford Street to get a final few bits before checking out of our hotel and making our way to Camden. Suitcases in hand. Oh god, it was awful - rain, suitcases & markets = disaster. It wasn't fun atall :( We ended up sat in Costa Coffee for hours with a huge latte and brownies to pass time.

Tights, Umbrella and Shoes - Primark


Well there we are, three days, three outfits! I must admit those Primark dollies are the most uncomfiest shoes i have ever wore in my entire life. They are now safely thrown into the bin.
We had a great time in London - despite getting lost a few times but, we got the hang of it by the time we were going home ;)

Sheer shirts, denim shorts and sunny days!


If you live in the UK you'll probably know we've had a bit of a heat wave (compared to the usual British weather anyway) and it's rather hot and sunny! I'm not complaining it's just how i like it - why can't it be like this all year?! So making the most of this beautiful weather, me and my boyfriend just sat cosily on a field chatting and cuddling and this is what i wore...  casual yet perfect for the sunny weather...



I have to take a cardigan or jacket out - always! It's my safety blanket, just in case, you never know with the British weather! A good cardigan always comes in handy ;)


I also wore a LOT less makeup (just a tiny bit of concealer and foundation and mascara of course) in the hope my face would get a bit of a tan - no luck so far though unfortunately!

Excuse my poorly finger :( It's look horrid but i need it out to heal asap!

Shirt - Primark
Cardigan - Newlook
