Pretending to be Posh

It's not often I get to dress up all smart but I don't half get excited when I do! I went along to a charity ball in my town which was all about raising money and picking a carnival queen in the process. This was the perfect excuse for me to treat myself to a new posh dress.

Dress: AX Paris Bag: New Look Shoes: Primark

I usually find AX Paris are good for dresses for this type of occasion and they didn't let me down. Sometimes tight dresses can easily show curves in all the wrong places however the fit, length and material of this dress is all spot on.

The evening was so much fun, filled with competitions a lot of prosecco and a fashion show showcasing the most beautiful wedding dresses. To top it off I even ended up winning £1000 for the charity of my choice! I was pretty blown away as I never win anything, and after much deliberation with myself I decided to donate it to Mind so I feel pretty good right now.

Outfit: Cute little Elephants

So the weather here in the UK is finally starting to pick up and last week my friend hosted a little get together over the bank holiday. This was the perfect opportunity to whip off the jeans that my legs have been hiding under for the last 10 months or so and show them a bit of sunlight.

I know I’m going to sound like a New Look ambassador here, but honestly just by coincidence it is where my whole outfit if from.

I fell in love with this little skirt as soon as I saw it; I am loving elephant ‘trend’ at the minute. I usually get sucked into whatever animal print is popular, over winter I had so many little things with owls on!

I would have usually opted for a black or white top to complete the monochrome look but as it was a nice day I thought this coral t shirt would be much more appropriate.

I used my trusty Enrapture Totem Styler to create these soft waves using setting 1-1-1 which gives you soft waves suitable for the beach without looking too done.

What do you think? Have you braved going bare legged this year yet?

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!

HAUL: Primark, H&M, New Look

I've been shopping! Just a few little bargains I picked up the other day, I've never bought so many different sizes for clothes and thinking about it I didn't by one item in my actual size! Some are smaller some are way bigger so no wonder people get issues with how big they are. O well as long as they look good! 

Primark Trousers £12 Cami £6

H&M Trousers £12.99 New Look Cami £10 Primak skirt £4

Primark shoes: Cream £8 Black £12

Pyjamas £8

Necklace £4 Rings £2

Patterned trousers are my weakness at the moment they seem to be taking over my wardrobe, I can't wait to do outfit posts for these.

Cami's are everywhere at the moment and I think they are so flattering but I Just cannot justify the Topshop £18 price tag, good job there are cheaper versions around for me!

Surprise, Surprise I picked up the Disney pyjamas I'm missing Florida so much! I love that these have old school Mickey on they are so cute!

Cheap and cheerful jewellery you cant go wrong.

Rose Dress £12.99 Top: £12.99

H&M is usually one of those shops where I either find nothing or want absolutely everything, this time they didn't fail me. I love their basics range they are such good prices and fab quality. I saw this skirt on the persianbabe and knew I needed it!

Topshop

Trousers £15

These bad boys were down from something ridiculous like £40, what an absolute steal!

And last but not least is this little bag which is the perfect size for all my travel bits.

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?

My Favourite Evening Bag

Studded Clutch: New Look 

You may have noticed that studs are pretty popular at the moment and I for one am a huge fan of the rocky/ grunge look that's all over the shops.

After lusting over the Topshop black studded clutch for what seemed like forever, I finally realised that my bank balance could not justify the £40 or so that it was retailed at. I then saw online people getting a very similar bag from Primark but did my local Primark ever have it in stock? no, no they did not.

I found this little beauty in New Look for £12.99 and it was love. I know its not exactly the same as the Topshop version but it's still gorgeous and less than half the price!

I have been reaching for this bag nearly every time I have been on a night out and its perfect for rocking up a girlie outfit. The inside is huge, I can fit all of my night out essentials inside without struggling to do the zip up, a bit like a 'Mary Poppins' handbag my friends are always amazed at the amount of things I manage to take out with me!

I think this is a great bag which will give any outfit that bit of edge. What do you think? 

Haul! Primark, New Look, Asda, Glamorous

PRIMARK

Scarf £3 Shoes £10

Bag £3

Jeans £11

Tops £8

Skirt £10

 ASDA Cross top £6 New Look Skull Top £12

 Glamorous Dress £31.99

Hello lovelies, today's post is a clothing haul! These are are a couple of my fave bits that I have acquired over the last few weeks. If you havn't already guessed I am loving the Berry/wine colour at moment, I will buy anything in that colour. Also the rocky skull and studd look is one of my faves, its just so easy to liven up an outfit.

I am off to Egypt next week so I treated myself to a new beach bag. I have been lusting over the Cath Kidston bags for a while now but this similar one from Primark for just £3 is perfect.

Last of all the LBD. Simple and classic with a stand out gold belt is perfect for any occasion.

After my holiday I really need to buy some more big snuggly jumpers and hoodies, my boyfriend is getting a bit fed up of me wearing his all the time haha.

Hopefully I will be doing some outfit posts soon.
