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.

Dress - Topshop (also worn here)
Necklace - Topman
Parka - New Look
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 ;)

Outfit: Disco Pant Dupes.

Hello everyone! My posts have been lacking recently, i've just been busy (and lazy) so haven't been posting as much as usual although i do promise to get back to my regular blogging again from now on.

Today I wanted to share an outfit with you (one i've been dying to show). I love it so much and i hope you do too as it features two dupes of items which are lusted after in the blogging community - disco pants and Jeffrey Campbell Lita's. I'm always looking for cheaper alternatives to items like these as i'm not particular bothered about 'designers' or 'brands' as long as they look the same and fit nice i couldn't care less. Also a smaller price tag is nice too.

Top - H&M
Pants - Very (here)
Blazer - Primark
Shoes - Soyoushoes (here)


The pants are not showing up 'shiny' in the pictures, but they are! I think they're a brilliant dupe for the American Apparel Disco Pants for half the price. I'm so happy with my purchase and just want to wear them all the time. I wore this outfit to the pub, so i looked dressed up but not too much, we then decided to go out clubbing so this outfit carried me through both!

Now, this top has a very weird bottom (to put it frankly) it's hard to explain, but i'll try. It goes long on one side at the front then goes long at the opposite side at the back. So it's asymmetric but on the opposite side at the back and front. It's pretty strange but looks great left out or tucked it. It also has a details on the shoulders which you can't see because of my hair, sorry ;)

Hope you like the outfit - if your lusting after disco pants or lita's but don't want to fork out that amount of money then these are great (cheap) alternatives. The shoes do tend to hurt my toes after a few hours, but all heels do that so it's nothing new!          


What do you prefer the 'real thing' or  cheaper alternatives?
