White Lace

Top: Choies* Jeans: New Look Shoes: New Look: Scarf: Asos

 Show me something pretty and girly and I’m all over it but I love to try and add a bit of edge to an outfit so it’s not so sweet and innocent.

My jumper from Choies is so beautiful and so soft! Do you ever have clothes that you just love to touch, is that weird? Well sometimes I can’t help it and you know you have something that’s good quality when you stroke it all the time haha.

The lace detailing on the arm is super pretty, the first time I wore this people were literally throwing compliments at me and for someone that is as self conscious as me it was really up lifting.

I added a red scarf to give my outfit that extra pop.

I think the little furry photo bomber is a fan of this outfit, what do you think?

Miss Monochrome

Jacket: Choies* Cami: New Look Jeans: New Look Boots: New Look Bag: Zara Necklace: Dorothey Perkins

Friday night was date night, and I always like to make an effort when we get a rare night out together but now the weather is starting to get colder it’s getting a bit harder to find that perfect balance between style and warmth.

I am in love with this jacket from Choies it adds a bit of sophistication and doesn't leave me worrying that I will get cold during the night. I’m also such a sucker for monochrome; black and white is flattering on the majority of people as its simple and classy.

I opted to pair my jacket with a plain cami, skinny jeans, boots (and a cheeky glass of red!) perfect date night material.

You like? Winter doesn't seem so bad when you can make it as stylish as this!

Charlie Says...

Dress: H&M Sunglasses: Rayban Beverage: Strongow Dark Fruits :p

♥ How nice has the weather been this week! I grabbed this pretty sun dress from H&M last week and thank goodness I did, it’s the most perfect dress for summer and a steal at only £12.99.

♥ My holiday countdown is on, 2 weeks today and I will be in Disney Land Florida aaahh I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am!

♥ My healthy eating and gym routine is going well, although I will say I have indulged in a few fruity alcoholic beverages this weekend, my will power isn't quite strong enough to resist the sunshine yet.

♥ My birthday is almost here too and I’m really hoping the sun will stick around, I’m hoping to get all my friends together for a picnic and then find a bar to dance the night away in the evening. I need to get on the hunt for a pretty outfit.

♥ I've had a productive blog photography weekend and I've got some lovely things I can’t wait to show you. I find it so much easier to photograph things in bulk, it’s good to be organised.

♥ Back to work tomorrow, why is it the weekend is just never long enough? What have you been up to this weekend?

Outfit Post: Wedding Blessing

Dress: Red Herring at Debenhams Necklace: Dorothy Perkins Bag: Suzy Smith (borrowed from my sister!)

On Saturday I attended a wedding blessing for my friends that came all the way over from Australia. As soon as I received my invite the first thing I thought about of course was, what do I wear!

With the weather being so temperamental at the moment I tried on so many different styles but as soon as I saw this beauty in Debenams it was love at first sight, sod the weather I want to look pretty!

This shift dress is from Red Herring is just the perfect dress for a wedding, it’s simple, elegant and also very flattering. I added a statement necklace to for a bit extra glamour and I have to thank my sister for letting me borrow this beautiful bag, I really don’t want to give it back!

I went for a natural make up look with Revlon Lip Butter in cotton candy on my lips as a nice contrast and Essie’s Penny Talk on my nails.

We were so lucky with the weather, after leaving the church it completely chucked it down with rain but luckily it cleared up just as we were pulling up to the reception location. I will admit I did have a few to many glasses of prosecco and the next morning my boyfriend had a bit of a state to look after but never the less it was a fantastic day and I wish the happy couple all the best for the future.

Outfit Post: Pearly Queen

Top: MinaUK* Shorts: New Look Bag: Primark

You know when you get new clothes and you just want to wear them as soon as you get it? Well that’s what I did this weekend.

I found out this week that I had gotten a job promotion at work (yay!) which of course meant a celebration meal out with the girls and an excuse to wear my beautiful new top from Mina. I love this blouse because it’s so gorgeous and girly and the front pleating makes it very flattering. The lace collar with pearl detailing just adds that last bit of sophistication.

Because the sun made an appearance this weekend I teamed the blouse with some black fitted shorts and sandals, but it will also look great with jeans and even some smart trousers when I start my new job! I do love versatile items.

New job, new clothes and a delicious meal out with friends, life is pretty good at the moment. How was your weekend?

Outfit Post: Loving the Trousers

Top: New Look Trousers: New Look Necklace: Dorothy Perkins Bag: Primark

These trousers are a big fashion leap for me, I'm always a bit self conscious when it comes to my outfits but trousers have really grabbed my attention after seeing them in so may lovely outfit posts.

These bad boys were only £8 in the New Look sale so I just couldn't turn them down. They are so versatile and look great for day time and also in the evenings. I teamed them with a peplum top and statement necklace for a meal out and considering they are not really 'me' I really love them and plan on buying a few more styles.

What do you think? Are you into the patterned trousers look?

Outfit Post: Tie Dye & Studs

Dress: Missguided Belt and Boots: New Look Bag: Select

A birthday party is always an excuse for a new dress and after browsing through countless websites, I knew I’d hit the jackpot when I stumbled across this beaut from Missguided.

Prints seem to be everywhere at the moment and I love the tie dye effect on this dress.  The turn up sleeves make it more casual so it’s also a great dress to wear in the day time and the skater skirt is really flattering. The best part about it is that it’s only £14.99 which I think is an absolute bargain considering how nice and soft it feels

I gave it a bit more edge with a studded belt and clutch and a biker jacket, as let’s face it it’s still not warm enough out there for bare arms!

The night out itself included one too many jager bombs (I still don’t know why I do these) and a very sore head in the morning, well it’s a birthday you've got to go hard haven’t you!?

I can't believe it's Monday morning already, the weekend will never be long enough but a least the sun is starting to make an appearance! How was your weekend?
