Outfit: I Deeply Adore..

Hello!

So i realised i haven't done an outfit post in so long! Outfit posts are one my favourite to share so i have a few coming up ;) This is something i wore on holiday a few weeks ago (boo take me back). It wasn't too warm at nights but definitely a whole lot warmer than England. Right now i'm snuggled up in a huge fleecy blanket and a hoody on the couch. I definitely love the christmas season which is coming very soon but winter weather is something i will always hate. Always. I need somewhere to migrate for winter..

Top - Primark

Shorts - Topshop 

Shoes (not seen) - Vans

Necklace - H&M

Watch - Michael Kors

Lipstick - MAC 'Deeply Adored' (Marilyn Monroe Collection)

I absolutely adore this top from Primark. The back detail is, dare i say it, so sexy! When worn with a jacket you'd never know it wasn't a plain t-shirt. I also adore this lipstick from the Marilyn Monroe collection by MAC, i had to get something and this deep red lipstick is so perfect for winter. 

What are you loving this winter?  

Holiday pictures: Brighten up your day! & OOTD.

Hello my lovelies! How are you all on this horrible, rainy day? Typical England. I've only just got around to putting the pictures of my laptop from my holiday. This year i surprising didn't take many (i'm usually snap happy!) I just have a few from the day we went of a shopping trip. Obviously as a blogger, a shopping trip was right up my street. We were took to a lovely little Bulgarian market in a little town then onto the biggest mall in the area, Bourgas Mall then finally onto Bourgas's high-street.

It was such a lovely day, albeit really hot and walking around all day was the last thing you wanted to do but it was so nice to get out of the resort (Sunny Beach) and explore more of what Bulgaria had to offer. Bourgas is such a beautiful city, definitely somewhere i could see myself living, it had the perfect mix of city/shopping but also had a lovely park right by the sea. 

Market.

The AMAZING Bulgaria Zara (wish i could of bought it all).

The gorgeous view from the 'Sea Park' in Bourgas!

Bandeu Top - Primark
Shorts - Primark
Shoes - Topshop

Lovely Sunglasses from Bulgaria's H&M (1 lev - 50p!!!)

Anyhow, hope your liking me throwing a lifestyle post in there as i hardly do. 

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: Different shades of grey..

Hello all! So i realised i haven't posted an outfit in quite a long while - which is unlike me. Now the sun has finally decided to come in England (temporarily, of course) and we have some sort of 'Summer'. I did what most Brits do and got me legs out!!

Vest Top - H&M

Skirt - Primark

Collar Necklace - H&M

Shoes - Topshop Vectra's

I love wearing outfits like this - simple and comfy! These skater style skirts are just heaven in my eyes as you can wear them all year round, day and night. I got this one from Primark about a week ago and they had a few other colours (which i need to get my hands on!). In my eyes you can't  have too many plain, loose skirts - they just go with everything, and for £6 they are a bargain! 

I've also been loving my H&M collar even though members of my family tell me it looks like a dog collar, charmin'. What do you think?

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!

Playsuit - New Look

Shoes - Topshop Vectra's

Leather Jacket - Zara

Bag - Zara

Cross Ring - Chelsea Doll    Pastel Stackable Rings - Primark

Braclet - Monki

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! 

Top - Bershka

Leather Jacket - Zara

Jeans - New Look

Shoes - Topshop Vectra's

Bag - Zara

Bangle - Monki

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?

Outfit: Carat Media Event.

Hi all! Today i have another outfit for you (getting pretty good at these). Obviously being a fashion (and beauty) blogger i have to share what i wore to a fashion event - it'd be rude not too!

If you've seen my previous post (here) all about the event then you'll know it was a chilled evening, nibbling, drinking and getting lots of useful blogging tips which i aim to put into action asap!

Top - H&M

Jeans - Topshop 'Leigh' jeans.

 Boots - River Island

Blazer - Primark

So, i feel like i wear these jeans in every single outfit i do aha, but that's just because i literally do love them - and wear them - to death! They're by far my comfiest pair of jeans i own and want to get some more colours in this style.

Also, i am succumbing to a trend i never thought i would! Literally a week before i bought this top i was shouting 'I HATE PEPLUM, WHO WOULD WEAR IT?!' to the television. Then, here i am wearing a peplum top and lusting after a few more peplum style items! I don't know how i can change from hating the style to loving it so much in a matter of days. I love the lace detail in this top and the fact it isn't as structured as some peplum tops. My only complaint is, it blows up in the wind (revealing my belly) not attractive and not ideal whilst waiting for a bus on a main road!

Anyhow, let me know what you think of the outfit? Don't you just love 'trusty' items (like my leigh jeans and my black blazer) that you can shove on anytime, anywhere and still feel glamorous?!

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?

Outfit: Next Supporters Scarf!

I have another fashion post for you today (getting good at these aren't i), this time it's something a little different! Today is all about one specific item... The Next Supporters Scarf! 

In the words of Next: "The scarves have been designed by Next as part of their support for London 2012 and are the must have item of the summer! (All profits from the sale of the scarves will be donated to the British Olympic Association - helping British Olympic and Paralympic athletes deliver 

their best performance at London 2012 and beyond.)"

I think this is such a great way of supporting our nation in the Olympics. Not only does it look good, everyone can get one and the money is going to good a cause too - what more could you ask for? 

There are two scarves - a 'Team GB' scarf and a 'Paralympic GB Team' scarf both available in large or small - along with a selection of other things available here.

I have the Paralympic scarf and this is how i wore it...

Scarf - Next*

Blazer - Primark

Top - Topshop

Jeans - Topshop

Shoes - Soyoushoes

I really do love this look and i will be rocking it when i come down to London just before the olympics in July with a slick of red lippy - nothing wrong with getting into the the Team GB Spirit! ;)

Don't you just love it? It's so wearable and i think it looks great with the maroon jeans (sticking with the red, white and blue theme) but, it also kept me very warm! Winter must have, maybe. There are soo many ways of using/wearing this scarf e.g. blanket, flag/banner, headband, top, sarong, cover up! So many ways, it's really up to you, can you think of any more?  I know i've already had it wrapped round my head and tied it round my bag too. 

Bag - Primark 

Anyway what do you think of this scarf? Will you be purchasing your self one? I can't wait to wear it with more things!

Outfit: Business & Pleasure.

Another outfit post for you all today! 

I wanted to share this lovely new dress i purchased from Topshop last week. I'm really into basics at the moment, i want things that will go with everything rather than fancy dresses that aren't versatile! This dress was £20 and is available in black and cream too - it's so flattering and looks so smart - i love it!

I'm also wearing my primark blazer (again). I seriously can't take it off :|

Excuse the indoor pictures - i was not standing outside in the pouring rain!! The weather was horrid.

Dress - Topshop

Blazer - Primark

Boots - River Island

Chain - Topman

Lipstick - MAC Viva Glam Nicki

Hope you like, i feel so smart in this outfit, especially with the sounds of the heels clicking when i walk.  The dress reminds me of something Kim Kardashian or Kate Middleton would wear - or is that just me? What do you think?

Oh and my boyfriend came up with the name 'Business & Pleasure' because he thinks i look 'business-y' when really i was going to friends for a few drinks haahaa. There's nothing wrong with looking smart is there? ;)

Outfit & Makeup: Jubilee Spirit!

Hello everyone, hope you are all enjoying this jubilee weekend! I tweeted yesterday that i weren't really feeling the jubilee spirit, atall, but i thought i'd make a bit of an effort today! Perfect excuse for a slick of red lippy and my lovely blue dress that i have been neglecting (meaning i have only wore it once here). 

I went out for another indian today (hence the outfit) - it is by far my favourite restaurant ever. I have been tonight, wednesday just been and the wednesday before that, how bad is that! Best shed the extra pounds i have added to my waistline, oopsy!  

Free flag from The Sun newspaper ;) nice little prop!

Oh and i also have another outfit on the way - please excuse the fact i am wearing this blazer again, i love it so much and haven't took it off since i bought it! Ahaa my newest obession, aside from the watch, of course! 

Outfit: Mint & Lace!

Hello, i have another outfit for you today and another one lined up! I hope you're enjoying the mix of fashion & beauty -  i'm really trying to take more outfit photo's when i have the time (and when i look half decent!).

We've had a bit of a heatwave in England recently which i have been LOVING, absolutely loving! It's sort of made up for the fact i'm not going on a summer holiday this year, so i've been making the most of it and sunbathing. And i even used suncream which is unusual for me as i very rarely use it, but i'd rather protect my skin whilst i can!

Anyway, i wore this to my final exam - woohoo - so expect more regular posts again! Then i went on a small shopping spree in Manchester but expect that in future posts...

I'll start off by confessing this whole outfit (apart from the watch) is all from PRIMARK! Yes, good ol' Primark has blessed me with this cheap and cheerful summer outfit! And please excuse the scuffs on my dollies, this was the first time i wore them too!

Anyway i hope you like my cute, girlie summer outfit, with a mix of lace and mint (a favourite colour of mine and the moment). The dress is so comfortable and is the perfect almost knee-length with a little underdress so you can't see my nickers - always helpful! The belts come in a pack of two with a coral colour too, perfect for summer and i can't wait to mix this dress up with different coloured accessories.

OOTN: Dipped Hems & Florals!

Hello all, thought i'd share an outfit with you today as i don't do that very often - mainly because of time and space. I am forever late/rushing everywhere so trying to take pictures never works and i also have no plain backdrops in my house to take a decent picture! Such a dilemma and setting up my tripod is a pain :( Anyway, enough moaning, onto the outfit..

Here's a nice little outake for you - not all pictures look like the onces above hahaa. God knows what i was saying!

Skirt - Primark

Top - Miss Selfridge (few seasons old)

Dolly Shoes - Primark

Necklace - Topman

I wore this to a house party on saturday so dolly shoes we're definitely needed to stay comfortable and not look overdressed although i think a nice pair of heels would have looked amazing too! 

Anyway, hope you like the outfit, i love this skirt from Primark it's so affordable! They also do it in black - which my friend was actually wearing. The dipped hem adds a nice twist to a rather plain skirt which is so versatile by the way. I think it was something like £8 which is much cheaper than like the likes of Topshop or River Island and the material is actually such good quality - it does not crease!!

So i hope you all had a lovely weekend, did you get up to anything much? And i'll also be sharing my makeup for this night next in case you're interested!
