Summer knit and round frames.

Thursday 30 April 2015










Sunglasses: New Look.  White knit vest: New Look. 

Who would've thought that a knitted item would be perfect for hot weather?

New Look's fashion game status: Strong. 
Every time I enter the store, I cannot keep my from picking up item, after item, after item, after item.. You get the message.

I saw this delightful white knitted vest and knew it had to be mine. I have since wore it on a night out paired with a pencil skirt and heels, but also in the day with jeans and sandals. This little cracker is highly versatile and a firm favourite of mine, so much so that I also have it back (you shall no doubt see it soon). 

I also picked up these round sunnies, i've been look for a pair since I was probably 16. Most other pairs I have seen, did not suit my face shape, but the thick frame with silver detailing is just.. Oh so wonderful!

Stripes and Bell Sleeves.

Monday 27 April 2015






Top: H&M.  Midi Swing Skirt: Topshop (Similar).  Boots: Zara.

You may have seen this little striped peplum number is this recent post, and i'm sure I don't have to tell you how it goes, but I will anyways - I'm nice like that:

Girl sees item of clothing online, girl exercises constraint, girl dreams about item of clothing, girl realises she doesn't need that particular item of clothing, girl buys item of clothing.

Mustard.

Saturday 25 April 2015






So, i'm slightly obsessed with the colour mustard. By obsessed, I mean totally mesmerised. Just look at it!

Yellow in general can be a troublesome colour to pull off, but the warm tone of mustard is incredibly versatile. It compliments so many other colours and I personally think it is quite flattering on pretty much everyone.

I can pretty much guarantee that I will be wearing this colour, not only through Spring, but most likely Summer, Autumn and Winter (then repeat).

Bradgate Park.

Wednesday 22 April 2015























Sorry about the incredible amount of pictures here, but I get a little snap happy sometimes.. And when there's wild life, well there's no stopping me!
 I took these on a recent dog walk around Bradgate Park, which is one of the most stunning locations in Leicester.

As you can probably see, the park is rugged and natural. Acres upon acres, upon acres of gorgeous landscape to explore, complete with ruins, river, bridle paths and deer!

With the movement into spring and the warmer weather coming (and going!), it's safe to say i'll be spending many a warm day here.

Any one else from Leicester? If not, let me know where you're from!

Coachella.

Sunday 19 April 2015


Red or Dead - Mustard Yellow Sandals (old) Similar and Similar

Now, i'm sure everyone has seen the recent street style posts from Coachella. Which means festival season is officially upon us!

I would've adored to go Coachella, and if I did, this is the type of outfit that I would've gone for. 

All I would need to do, is throw on a pair of sunnies and i'd be good to dance the night away.

What festivals have you got lined up for this summer, lovelies?

Current skincare routine.

Sunday 12 April 2015




So, let's talk skin care shall we?
I won't lie to you, it took a good long time for me to get any sort of skin care routine together. But when I did, I can't express how much of a difference it made to my skin.

For a little bit of background, I'll tell you that my skin has always been blemish and acne prone. As a teenager my skin was bad, and I mean baaaaaad. A complete knock to my confidence and something I  struggled to get on top of. The amount of different products/medicines/treatments I have tried are endless.

However, I was introduced to the 'Anti-Blemish' solutions range by Clinique and the difference is incredible. Truly.
Buying all of the products together, including the cleansing brush in one fell swoop, was quite expensive, but seeing the results.. I can't put a price on that.

Although this is my current routine, I feel like my skin is now pretty much blemish free and I will be moving onto a new routine and it'll probably be Clinique products.

I would like to stress, that not only do I believe these products have played there part in changing my skin, but focusing on what I put into my body is key. More on that later!

Lusting after: H&M Trend.

Sunday 5 April 2015




This week, was pay day week, but also bank holiday weekend to boot, and if you're like me, then you don't need an excuse to shop. However, any new purchases made.. "Well, I need something new for the bank holiday, and Easter, and just in general!".  

I have been lusting after various items from the H&M Trend section and it is about time I give a few of them a happy home with me. I can just feel the various ootd's coming together in my mind and it's beautiful, so very beautiful.

What have you been lusting after?
