WADSWORTH AND WELLS

If you are a regular reader of my blog or an active follower of my instagram page and knew me this time last year, you know my love of beanies. It is all I wear and I have been extremely eager to start up a new collection this Winter time. Once Wadsworth and Wells contacted me, I was so excited to get the beanie game going strong again and what better way to kick it off than with an awesome brand and even more awesome colour...?

I wanted to go for something completely different to my normal colour choice.. black (cough**) I went with this amazing bright blue colour and I love the contrast with their sand coloured brand badges.

To check out their collection guys and view more colours of this beanie, head over to their site here!

CARHARTT / MADE AN APPEARANCE

Carhartt Beanie - Carhartt,

 Denim Jacket - Bite Me Clothing,

Suede Jersey Jumper - Primark,

Black Leggings - Primark,

 Black Shoes - Levis

This beanie is actually my boyfriends but its new home is my head at the moment. I have always looked on Carhartt and wanted to get my own beanie but just never got round to it. I really want a camel coloured one for the Summer.. and yes I wear beanies in the Summer time :)

I love how casual this outfit is, this is the type of outfit I would wear on a simple four hour shift in work when I just want to be comfortable. It also has a tweak of vintage which I'm slowly getting back into.

My new style crush is Louise Allen Rose, also known as Foxes. I love her music at the moment but most of all her style, I have never quite found anyone before that I will admittedly try sourcing all their clothing online and slightly stalk shall we say.. I really just love her whole persona and she gives me great fashion inspo. You should check her out!

This denim jacket was a gift off an incredibly talented person, owner and director of Bite Me Clothing. Lauren's designs are sick, and after blogging a few of her pieces last year, she kindly gave me this jacket after expressing my love for it. Who doesn't like pizza?

Lastly my rad shoes!!!! I went vintage and charity shopping with my mum last Friday and came across these amazing Levi shoes, the only pair, in my size and they cost me just £2.50. Purchase of the week!

FINDING MY BALANCE

Burgandy Top - Primark,

Leather High Waisted Trousers - H&M,

 Black Stretch Choker - eBay,

Black & White New Balance 574 Trainers - Footasylum

Hi guys, completely shocked and overwhelmed at the response about my blog this week. It's really exciting getting that exposure through instagram and people really appreciating your own person style and creativity.

Please head over to my instagram using Velvet Writer and give me a follow if you prefer more visual updates of my posts, rather than have me ramble on here.

I really enjoyed shooting this outfit post, I had a really successful shopping trip at H&M the other day when my mum came up to visit me in Liverpool. As most mother and daughter get-togethers, the plan was to head straight to the shops till we become overly stressed and then need the excuse to relax and natter over a 'large' glass of wine at lunch. 

Finally I managed to pick up some leather high waisted trousers for about £24.99. H&M really do have an amazing range of leather pants to suit all shapes and sizes, so if you are still looking for that hint of leather in your wardrobe.. then this high street store is my recommendation.

I also picked up this gorgeous long grey cardigan in the sale for just £7. I'm a sucker for all types of cloaks and cover ups, as I'm quite a lazy fashionista in the day time and during work. I liked the idea of grey, as I already have a nice silk black one from Topshop. My mum bought these gorgeous 'me and you' beanies, also from H&M for me at Christmas time, I hadn't planned on doing the cliche photo with my boyfriend but as he's my photographer, he couldn't help himself wanting to get in on the action.

Whether I wear these hats most days.. I don't know, but Jack loves the 'You' one :)

Now I'm going to harp on about just how amazing my new trainers are!!!!!! I was originally supposed to have these raring to go on Christmas day but unfortunately the size 5 didn't fit. (I'm a size 5 by the way). I was really disappointed, as I hadn't tried any on before and just fell in love with this style and colour after seeing so many people walking round the city delighfully in them... and understandably I needed my own pair.

I waited till January to finally get round to changing them for a size 6 as they are really neat fitting, and even the 6 is calling it close but god were they worth the wait. New Balance 574's are the most comfortable trainer I have every owed. The moment they are on my feet, I can't help but bounce around full of life. There is also nothing better than going to work, knowing you are going to be on your feet for the next 9 hours and not going to hear a peep out of your heels or toes.

I chose black, white and grey, purely because I only had to see them on someone once, and I immediately needed them in my possession, but now it has become such a practical idea, as they go with everything. Win win!

CHICKS IN KICKS

Grey Beanie - Stag (Stand Tall Amongst Giants),

 Chicks in Kicks Tee - Connoisseur,

 Black Leather Leggings - Beloved,

White Converse - Online,

Vans Backpack - Vans

I really enjoyed shooting this outfit post. I always feel most comfortable in a beanie and a tee, especially a great beanie and tee. This beanie is from a new favourite brand of mine... STAG! (Stand Tall Amongst Giants) Lets just take a minute to appreciate what an amazing brand name this is.

3...2....1.

When I came across their site, I fell in love with the beanie and the sand leather look badge at the front with their logo in it. The beanies are awesome and so are the t-shirts. I ended up getting one for my boyfriend for Christmas with their logo on. The pricing is really great too. 

I have teamed up my Stag beanie with a Connoisseur tee. My boyfriend discovered this brand and bought me this t-shirt as he thought it looked like me and resembled everything I love. I fell in love with it at Christmas and needed to find out what more this brand had to offer. Their t-shirt collection is dope, they also have a tee dedicated to Breaking Bad, and if any of you were fortunate enough to watch that series, then you will appreciate just how great their tshirt version is.

The girl on the front is really unique and you are sure to wear one of their tshirts and get people talking and begin asking where it's from. I completed the outfit with some leather look leggings, white converse and my new grey Vans backpack.

I really needed a new backpack to take me through the New Year. My old leather one is tearing away at the seams and it is in need of a break. I needed one with stronger arms and had the idea for grey one for quite some time. I had done much research online and had fallen in love with a sand coloured Carhartt one but it was too expensive. In the end I found this grey Vans backpack for just £40 and knew this would be my new companion.
