SPORT PLEAT MINI SKIRT | TOPSHOP

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased this amazing Sport Waistband Pleat Mini Skirt from Topshop and even though I have worn this Wasted Heroes white Eye Tee to death, it was still my first option for this new outfit idea I had in mind. 

This skirt is so comfortable and I am still lusting over the Sports Luxe trend this Spring. I laos wanted my very own throw back to my school days with the look of this skirt. It has a great monochrome waist band and perfect to show off the detailing with a cute cropped tee in the Summer time.

I have on my aqua and pink glitter socks from Topshop and my new leopard black trainers which I managed to bag in the closing down sale at Internacionale. These trainers cost me just £12 and worth all the change in my purse. For the look and quality of these trainers, they are a perfect bargain deal. Links to all the items in this post are below.

There will be a YouTube video up soon on this outfit guys!! I recently got the hang of iMovie, so I will be well away on developing my channel and uploading lots more interesting videos each week.

Time to blog some of my amazing Christmas goodies... 

My mum knows how much I love my beanie collection and that a new style or design is always welcome. Something I didn't have, was a nice quality detailed beanie like this. I had no input and it was an pleasant surprise opening this on Christmas day and receiving a fashion gift off my mum that I exactly loved. Normally we have quite different tastes, but it was great that she thought of me and picked this. The fitting it great considering there is a large chain neatly fitted to the front and also I really like how high the beanie is but structured well. The beanie is from River Island and is also sold on ASOS.

I figured this beanie deserved a great outfit, so out came my amazing purchase this new year, this beautiful Topshop Premium satin black cloak. Originally £75, I managed to nab this beauty for just £26 in the sale and the staff dissy thrown on top. It is an absolute steal. I regard this as my new key piece of January. Every girl needs that statement piece to throw on over an outfit, especially with how cold it is still. This is great for the day time as shown here, but also great to throw on for a night out too.

I decided to throw on a small crop top, some pale mom jeans and buckled boots to complete the look. I have always loved pale denim against black, not sure why. Anyways, really hope you love the outfit and Happy New Year everyone.

CHRISTMAS VIBES

Black Buckled Boots - New Look

 Hi everyone, I have been very busy at the moment with the mad rush at work and all the stress and goings on of Christmas time. It has always been my favourite time of year but it is balancing everything and the blog has naturally fallen on the back burner... but I'm back with some new, exciting things in my wardrobe, ready to share my recent purchases with you and how I will be dressing over this festive period. 

I also have some new inspiration for the new year and some fantastic looks I am eager to try out for 2014. I went dark not long ago, and even though I like the rich warmth of my hair, it is becoming rather too harsh for me to handle and making me look paler than I need to be in this cold weather. So I'm off to the hairdressers this Friday as a Christmas treat to myself to get some warm lighter tones back into my main. I think it will be the new and long lasting look for next year, as I am determined to grow my hair to a very healthy and satisfying length.

This outfit is my version of the Christmas vibes, with an old faux fur coat and Christmas colours. Lace is a massive must this month and if you can fit it in somewhere.. then do! I also have on one of my new accessories from the wonderful Topshop, my wine glitter sock. These are a great Christmas present for a friend or stocking filler.

Happy December guys.. watch out for new posts this week.
