Ripped Jeans & Birkenstocks










It has been mega long since I blogged because back in July I was burgled and my laptop was stolen, woo! All my pictures from the last couple of years were on there and, like an idiot, I had never gotten round to backing them up on Dropbox (do it, people!) As you can imagine I was pretty gutted and it meant finding the money for a replacement laptop as well, hence the huge blogging gap. Anyway, I am back now so you can call of the search, heh heh.

Despite not having blogged in two months, I'm still heavily into monochrome style, particularly when it involves ripped jeans. I bought about a thousand pairs of ripped jeans from ASOS but couldn't find any that fit right, so I decided to rip some old Primark skinnies instead. You know how it is, skinny jeans from Primark gradually get a little loose, especially round the knees so it just made good sense.

I've also jumped on the Birkenstock bandwagon in the last month. I was sold on the comfort-factor everyone bangs on about as I'm off to Greece in a couple of weeks and wanted a pair of sandals that won't leave my feet hurting. They are pretty ugly and I have to be careful what I wear them with to avoid looking like a German granny but overall, I'm pleased with them.

Day to Night Outfit










I like day to night outfits. There's something very pleasing about how just changing your shoes and shedding a jacket can transform your look.

I'm not really a jeans and top girl for going out out, instead I wore this for a nice meal but I am of the opinion that adding heels pretty much makes any outfit out out worthy. As far as heels go, these boots are the comfiest ever. I feel kind of bad actually because all my other (high and uncomfortable) shoes are continually shunned. Sorry shoes.

I'm still loving monochrome, it's definitely an all year round trend. The brown leather jacket breaks it up a bit and is a bit different to the usual black. Plus I don't have a black leather jacket so the brown had no choice.

Since the weather turned Arctic I have been wearing beanies every day. I'm currently on the hunt for a pair of ear muffs that don't stick out ten inches from my head for hair-up days. My ears get cold!
