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!

Get Yer Coat Out

This year I am OBSESSED with coats. I've already dropped £40 on a fur number I found in a charity shop and this weekend added a H&M shearling biker jacket to my overflowing wardrobe.

There's nothing quite like rediscovering one of your old favourites though and this camel coat is most definitely a major favourite. It was a measly £29.99 in H&M last year..? Maybe the year before and it's one of the best bargains I've ever found.

Under the coat of dreams is my new fave t-shirt dress from River Island and with the cold weather comes the Kevin McCallister hat collection back in circulation. Thrown all together with my boyish brogues and red lipstick I really love this outfit. I do not love my slightly demonic gaze in the first picture, so sorry about that.

Layering a Dress

I got stupidly excited at the fact this very summery halter neck dress layered so well over my white sheer shirt and I'm not afraid to say that I will be wearing it again. I needed a jumper for warmth so I added this bottle green number, inadvertently making myself look like I was wearing my old school uniform.

My new (old) favourite necklace came out to play again along with my fave studded boots I bought last year. I'm on the hunt for another great pair of leather boots but when I'm wearing these babies it's like I'd never need another pair.

I really do love Autumn fashion. No massive coat hiding your outfit and it's still just about warm enough not to need tights. Bravo!

Ethnic Summer

I bought this high neck top a while back since it seemed to be the top of the season but I made a fatal error. In my poor state at the time of buying I sent back the ASOS version in favour for the cheaper eBay one and now I am blighted with see through top. 

Schoolboy.

I do really love the style but next time, I won't be scrimping then maybe I'll keep my dignity.

Loving the maxi skirts when the weather is hot and these mirrored sunglasses are one of my favourite recent Primark finds. The ethnic necklace is from a souk in Marrakech. It took my very best haggling to get it to come home with me but how annoying is it when some of the little doo-dahs flip underneath? Very annoying.

Team GB

 

This is my homage to the Olympics that we are oh so proudly holding in London currently. Note the Team GB colours. I probably should have gone for a red bag to really pack that St George punch but I am lacking on the red bag front. Note also that I am fully going for gold.

I am thoroughly enjoying the Olympics. Team GB are doing astonishingly well and as cheesy as it sounds, it really is hugely inspiring. It's certainly helped me when it's come to gym time.

The day I wore this it was incredibly hot. Yet again, I have a back-log of pictures that I need to get up here, so some of these outfits won't be matching the weather, which is, unsurprisingly, rain. Again. In August. Sigh.

Monochrome & Metallics

 I only realised this Summer that I was not in posession of a black maxi dress, which, I'm pretty sure, is against the law. So on my pre-holiday essentials shopping I had a little mosey around the likes of H&M and New Look to find one. I triumphed in New Look with this one which now happens to be on sale here. What I liked most was the detailed, yet unfussy neckline which I probably should have photographed (take a look on their website.) It's a really staple piece that is perfect for hot days but can be used all year round too (I'm envisaging it with my parka and some military boots).

The tuxedo style blazer is a new find from Primark. I think it will go with loads of different things to sharpen up a look. It reminds me of something Fearne Cotton would wear and I think it could look awesome as part of an androgynous look.
