WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE













TROUSERS- TOPSHOP
BAND TEE - VINTAGE
SHIRT - ORIGINALLY MY DAD'S
SHOES - TOPSHOP
CLUTCH- TOPSHOP
SOCKS- TOPSHOP
NECKLACE - TOPSHOP


OMG OMG OMG I FREAKING LOVE HOLOGRAPHIC ACCESSORIES! I am genuinely so in love with how much they jazzed up this little outfit. There is a lot of holographic items around at the moment and, as wisely said by a customer I served the other day. buying the clutch, "life's too short to be boring and this is fabulous" haha. So I would definitely suggest grabbing something holographic and spicing up your wardrobe this winter because it will look FABULOUS!
I'm afraid the rest of my outfit is a little plain. The trousers are new and I am super happy with them. I got them from Topshop online as my store did have my size but I needed a size bigger because the fit was just not baggy enough for me but now I have them and I am over the moon. They are comfy, wearable and stylish which makes me very happy! 
I finished off the outfit with my classic G&R band tee and too keep me a little warm I chucked on my Dad's old baggy shirt (which he probably hasn't seen in years). I love these two pieces because I think they'll always be essentials to my wardrobe. You can pick up similar items from charity and vintage shops for really decent prices so it's definitely worth the investment I feel.
So that's today's little look, I hope it makes you happy. I was evidently quite happy when taking these pictures; I was in fact dancing around to The Black Keys and had to refrain my self from singing at the top of my voice and get these pictures done haha! Will post up on LOOKBOOK in a bit. Enjoy :)

MAD SOUNDS IN YOUR EARS















PLAYSUIT - TOPSHOP
TIGHTS - PRIMARK
TOP (WORN UNDERNEATH) - NEW LOOK
BAG - H&M
BOOTS - TOPSHOP
JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
NECKLACE - TOPSHOP

My playsuit is basically my new favourite thing in the world. I LOVE clean structuring and I love it even more in white so this playsuit was an absolute must from me. I was looking for it online for an age but it was a return to my store in my size so I had to snap it up when I could! I reckon it will be something that will get a hell of a lot of wear out of me and for years to come because it's one of those amazing pieces which can be worn in both seasons. So yeah I'm dead happy!

I don't usually do bags in my outfit post because I pretty much use this one everyday! It's so big and just ideal for everyday but I thought it particularly made this outfit. The styling of this outfit, I guess, is kept very to a minimum and I simply just chucked on a necklace, my boots and my leather jacket to complete it all. Hope you all enjoy, will post on LOOKBOOK in a bit!

TOP - TOPSHOP
TROUSERS - TOPSHOP
BOOTS -TOPSHOP
SOCKS - TOPSHOP
OVERSIZED SHIRT JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
NECKLACE - HOLIDAY


SHOCKER I'M WEARING TROUSERS!!!! and even better I loved it. Yeah so this is what I wore for a day at work with shopping before and during (it was payday) followed by cocktails. For once at work I was wearing pretty much a fully topshop outfit, the trousers are last year however they have some similar ones this year as well. I do love my leather trousers considering I am by no means a trouser person but I've had soooo much wear out of them and they are really versatile. I like to roll up the ends as well just for a bit of extra detail and to show off my boots of course. These boots are also topshop last year, they are the ANT ones and may still be available on Ebay. They've been good to me for a while now as well but they are definitely not the most comfortable of boot though but hey any shoe lover knows they've got to deal with that! 
The top is just a simple structured tee; for a curvy girl, I strangely am really in to structuring and I find it really flattering too. Hat is a vintage family hand me down as I stated in the last outfit post I wore it in also and this necklace, which I do completely adore, was a find at Turkish market on holiday a few years ago. Love a find like that. Finished off the outfit with my long oversized shirt cover up/jacket. It was a little chilly not going to lie but think it tied together the outfit.
So that's it from a very sleepy girly tonight. Also just a warning that my blogging may be a little slow up until christmas as working in retail right now is hectic and trying to juggle that with a social life and a boyfriend also is getting rather manic but I will do as much as I possibly can I promise! Anyway enjoy :) will post on LOOKBOOK in a bit.

SOME THINGS TO BE PROUD OF SOME STUFF TO REGRET









COATIGAN- EBAY
SHIRT- H&M
SKIRT-TOPSHOP
BOOTS TOPSHOP
TIGHTS - PRIMARK
NECKLACE- EBAY
HEADPIECE- HOMEMADE


Hello again! very miserable day in the UK and I think my face matches that in these photo's but oh well! This outfit I wore to work the other day, I like to dress up but keep things casual. 
The cardigan/coat is new and I love it! It's so warm and cosy and I was definitely needing to add a bit of mohair into my wardrobe. I got it on a one off listing on Ebay and won it for around £2.50!!! I literally take such pride in getting little bargains like this; you get those people who brag about how expensive their clothes are but I'm a person who will shove it in your face for how cheap I got it! I guess that makes me annoying but who cares about that haha.
PVC skirt is another one of my favourites at the moment, as I've probably previously mentioned, I tend to keep whatever I'm wearing top wise simple when I wear it and this shirt is just easy peasy to wear. I tucked it in also during the day just to mix things up! Only thing I'd say about the shirt is that I wish it had just a little bit of a baggier fit. 
Headpiece I just wore as I wanted to jazz up my boring ass hair a little and matched it with the gold chain necklace and my outfit would not be complete with out my favourite pair of boots :)
So that's today's look! Will post up on LOOKBOOK in abit, Enjoy!

WINTER HAS BROKEN AND I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO LOSE MY HEAD




 





DRESS - H&M
BOOTS -TOPSHOP
HAT - TOPSHOP
SCARF - VINTAGE
JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
TIGHTS - PRIMARK
CHOKER - TOPSHOP
BELT ( NOT VERY VISIBLE) - H&M
HAND OF FATMA NECKLACE - HOLIDAY

Hello again, first of all massive apologies for the poor quality of the photo's (my boyfriend clearly has no clue how to work a camera). Anyway I had an interview this day so went for something smart but stylish. The jacket I recently found in a charity shop for £10 and it's real freaking leather!!! Probably one of my best charity shop finds I've discovered in a while and it fits perfect.
I teamed it with this dress which is definitely a win for me. I don't usually have time to go proper shopping but I popped into H&M with my friend and saw it and that was love there and then. I've been searching for a simple black slip for a while, I really was after a Zara one but this little lovely was another steal instead at £19.99 and I am super impressed. It fits soooooo nice but initially I chose a medium. I always tend to go for bigger rather than small but it was ridiculously big. So I'd definitely suggest getting a size smaller. Just to finish of the dress I put a belt with it for an extra fitted look. I love H&M's winter range at the moment, it has some really nice basic but beautiful pieces for this season, definitely will be making a trip back on payday!
This outfit, as a whole, I chose to really accessorise which was really fun. The scarf is so on trend. I always get so many nice comments on it. I went for silver jewellery again; the choker and my mum's lucky hand of Fatma, we got on holiday in September. I pulled that all together with my little bowler hat and obviously my favourite shoes (topshop ARGO boots) and red lipstick, another MAC one of course.
So that's it for today! Really hope you all liked it, thank you!

TEAR ME APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT














ARGO BOOTS- TOPSHOP
PU LEATHER SKIRT - TOPSHOP
CROPPED T-SHIRT- MISSGUIDED
COAT - URBAN OUTFITTERS
HAT - VINTAGE
SOCKS -TOPSHOP
NECKLACE - FREEDOM @ TOPSHOP












Hello again! This is another work outfit I wore the other day and I stupidly did that without tights *MASSIVE FACE PALM* but other than that I loved it! I'm so lucky with where I work that I am able to wear almost what I like and therefore get the chance to express my personal style. Also I am surprisingly loving this cold weather, it's given me the opportunity to wear all my coats and jackets I obsessively collect in the winter and forget about over the summer. This jacket here is an oldie but definitely a goodie and a steal at that! I got it in the UO sale a couple of Christmas Eve's ago (when I wasn't a retail bitch and had that day off) and it has served me well. Fur never goes out of winter trends, even if it's pink, it also goes with a lot and is cosy as hell. 
The rest of the outfit is relatively new- I think I may have mentioned a few posts ago how very into skirts I am at the moment and this one is a definite fave. They are massive sellers in Topshop at the moment and they also have it in black and grey, I personally opted for the white as I thought considering I have hundreds of black leather items a white one may just mix things up a little bit! I teamed it with my plain black crop tee just because I feel the skirt is quite a statement piece and i want the outfit to still look clean.
The boots are quite possibly my most beloved possession at this point, I got them about three weeks ago and they have barely left my feet since, I wanted them for ages and found the one pair in my size! FATE I'M TELLING YA! And the best thing about them is that for an ankle boot they are relatively comfy and I can wear them with pretty much anything... they're just amaaazing. I'm pretty annoyed I couldn't get a decent enough photo of them though but I'll link them here . They also come in tonnes of different colours/styles and if I could own them all I'd be a very happy lady.
Accessories for this outfit l I have kept reasonably to a minimum. The hat is a vintage family hand me down which my mother recently discovered, I love that it's not just your're average fedora or bowler hat; it's a lot bolder than that but still simple and chic. Glittery socks had to be done because black would just be boring (tights next time though) and the necklace is an old one and actually a bit beaten up but hey i'm still wearing it!
So that's it. Will also post it LOOKBOOK on a bit later! Enjoy...
