Outfit: We're all going on a Summer holiday..

Hello! So incase i didn't already go on about it enough, yesterday i flew out of England and i'm now relaxing in the sun with my feet up and a drink in hand enjoying the Bulgarian weather! I absolutely love going to Bulgaria on holiday we always have the best time and i'm sure this time will be no different.

I've been really rubbish with outfit posts recently even though they're one of my favourites to do! So, i thought i'd share with you what i wore to the airport yesterday. I get so cold on the aeroplane for some reason and always end up shivering so i needed something that would keep me warm on the plane but not be too warm when we got to Bulgaria! Gosh it's tricky isn't it..

Top - Topshop
Pants - Zara
Blazer - Primark
Collar - Primark
Shoes - Topshop

I decided to wear these lovely pants from Zara as i've only wore them once since i got them in London. I just don't get the wear out of them and they weren't cheap either. But they're really comfy, warm but not too warm and look pretty good too! Comfort and style in one - yessss! And obviously i wore my Topshop Vectra's because i wear them every single day and they're the comfiest things i own. Sore feet is a no go. 

So what do you think? Will i do? What is your airpot style - comfort or glamour?

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.

Dress - Topshop (also worn here)
Necklace - Topman

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 ;)

London Haul!

So, considering i went to London for 3 days you probably think i bought loads, right? Wrong. I didn't buy masses of stuff i didn't need. On our main shopping day where we had a wonder all the way down Oxford Street, my boyfriend did the most shopping - he loved it! Whereas i didn't see too much that i liked and didn't see the point in spending all my money on rubbish i didn't really want or need.

I'd really wanted a leather jacket for absolutely ages so i knew that was definitely on my 'to by list'. Also on my list was the Real Techniques Core Collection, 17 Miracle Matte Primer and Body Shop Hand Cream. All of which made it's way to my basket! But, here is what i got...

Photobucket
Here are my beauty purchases (not much i'm impressed). I've already been loving the Real Techniques brushes and 17 primer with my Laura Mercier Mineral Powder and Nars bronzer (which you can see here).

Photobucket
Here are the jewellery purchases. The collar is from H&M - i can't take it off! Nor can i take off the silver bangle from Monki, it was a mere £3 and it slides on the wrist to look like two thin metal bangles! The other bits are from Camden Markets.

Photobucket
Now here are two purchases from my favourite shops in London, it was the first time i've been to either or these shops and i loved them! The lace peplum top was another Monki item, £8 in the sale which i thought was amazing as it looks great on a night out or in the day with a black vest top underneath. The grey top is from Bershka - another £8 sale item! I love the studs on the shoulders.

Photobucket
The playsuit is from New Look (another sale item). I was surprised this playsuit suited me as they normally don't but this looks great and i can imagine me wearing it a lot - day, night, holiday!! Jeans - boring huh? These are from New Look, similar to ones i liked from Topshop but with a cheaper price tag so i couldn't resist. I also couldn't resist these floral pants from Zara again, pants don't normally suit me (i'm more of a jean, tights and leggins girl) but these looks amazing and definitely make a statement!

Photobucket
Last but not least, two more Zara purchases. Zara really impressed me, i'm sure the ones in Manchester aren't as good :( I literally squealed with excitement when i found this leather jacket, it feels so soft (like real leather apparently) and the best part is.. it was only £40! Cheaper than the ones in Topshop/Miss Selfridge which don't feel as nice and cost more. I also picked up this bag for £10, i'm unsure whether to keep this as i wanted a handbag as opposed to a shoulder bag. But i do like this as it's pretty big.


So yes, that is everything i bought. I wouldn't say it was a lot but it's not exactly little either ahaa (and i did by gifts too!) I don't know, shopping wise i loved the shops we don't get in Manchester like Monki, Bershka, Liberty. I weren't that impressed with though Forever 21 unfortunately.


What do you think of shopping in London? And what are your favourite shops (i like being nosey)?
