Oxblood.

Sunday 29 March 2015




Coat: H&M.  Shirt: Sue Ryder Vintage & Retro.  Trousers: New Look.  Bag: New Look.  Trainers: Converse.

Personal style is something that I love and have loved for an incredibly long time. For myself, I believe that my style covers so many different trends and eras, that it's quite hard to put an official stamp on it (not that one is ever needed). 
More recently, I feel that I have started to lean towards a smarter and more sophisticated style of dressing. And I LOVE it!
This is a current 'go to' outfit. I bought these delightful oxblood-ish trousers in the New Look sale around 3 years ago.. and never wore them. Clearly I've been missing out, but totally making up for it now!

Anyone else found any hidden gems in their wardrobes recently?

Oh, and don't forget, you can keep up to date with all my latest posts via bloglovin' but only if you really want to :)

Camel & Snake.

Tuesday 24 March 2015



Camel coat: Vintage.  Jumper: eBay.  Jeans: New Look Petite.  Boots: Irregular Choice.

'Well now then marry bum, I see your face and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun'. I clearly don't look like a happy chappy in these photos, but I'm still new to the posing game, so please bare with me.

My love for all things camel will never die. Whenever i'm in a shop (technically my second home), I seem to immediately gravitate towards this colour. This lovely coat was an absolute steal for £6.. Bargain!

I have also been lusting after various snake print boots such as thesethese and of course these. But then I remembered these gorgeous snake print boots hiding at the back of my wardrobe.. Sorted!

Black & Yellow.

Wednesday 18 March 2015






Jumper - eBay.  Pencil Skirt - Vintage.  Trainers - Adidas.

Is that a bare leg you see.. Yes, yes it is. 

I have never loved trainers so much since my converse days, circa 2007. Who would've thought that they could be paired with so many different outfits: 

-Dresses,
-Jeans,
-Suits,
-Skirts..

They go with everything!

Wishlist for spring #1

Monday 16 March 2015


Fear not, you are not alone.. I have already virtually spent my future wages on summer picks!

These are my fashion rules for summer:
-Camel is here to stay,
-Black is classic,
-Nautical never fails.

But of course, rules were meant to be broken..

Florals for spring.. Groundbreaking!

Tuesday 10 March 2015





Coat: H&M.  Dress: H&M.  Boots: New Look.  Bag: Topshop.
Chihuahua called Ralph Oakley Emerson James.

What is that big glowing orb in the sky? 
It's been so long that I kinda forgot what the sun looked like. 
Although my heart skips a beat knowing that warmer weather is on it's way. I know that I shall miss my chunky knit scarves and multiple layers. 

I picked up this delightful floral number from the H&M sale and I thought it was the perfect floral dress for all seasons. 

I'm not the biggest fan of overly fussy floral numbers, but sometimes a dress just speaks to you. Know what I mean?

Patchwork.

Tuesday 3 March 2015

Coat: Dorothy Perkins. Skirt: River Island. Boots: eBay.

Hands up who loves the seventies trend? Yep,  me to.

I found those totally delightful boots on eBay, for a mere £15 brand new. Hello bargain! 

Now all I need is a pair of a flares, and I think this outfit would be complete.
