Silver Kicks

Coat - Primark

Top - H&M

Jeans - H&M

Trainers - Nike (similar here)

Sunglasses - Quay Australia

The sun is still sticking around despite it getting rather chilly as of late and I'm desperately willing the colder weather so I can fully commit to wear coats. That being said, I do love being able to wear sunglasses and not feel like a fool and this just so happens to be the debut of my Quay Australia 'My Girl' sunnies - you know the ones, the ones that literally everyone owns!

I've also added to my ever-expanding trainers collection with these metallic silver Nike's that are not my usual style but I love how they look with this cooled toned outfit; I'm not imagining them with an all black look too. I picked these up at a local Nike Outlet and they were a bargain, I'd definitely recommend giving outlets a go as you can get some great buys for a fraction of the price. The rest of the outfit is press casual with these slouch fitting Mom jeans, a basic white tee and my favourite neoprene coat. 

Huge Fashion Haul

I've been buying quite a bit during September and so I thought I'd return to Youtube with a huge fashion haul! There's pieces from Next, River Island, Primark and more - including a few splurges that I'd been saving for. 

I hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe to see my future videos!

Tie It Up

I've finally had chance to shoot some new outfit photos and my blogging mojo is officially back! I'm really trying to work on my blog photography and editing skills and I'm quite pleased with how my shots have come out for these upcoming outfits. I plan on uploading two outfits a week (Monday and Thursday) among my other beauty and fashion posts. 

I'm currently in the process of adding some new pieces to my wardrobe and this Primark jumper is one of my favourite new additions (It also comes in grey!) - the tie up detail just makes it slightly more interesting, which I like and keeping it casual with slip ons and an oversized coat makes it perfect for the weekend.

Coat: Topshop (similar)

Jumper: Primark

Jeans: Dorothy Perkins

Shoes: New Look

Sunglasses: Whistles

Pom Pom Keychains | Details

I've well and truly been sucked in to the fluffy pom pom keyring 'trend'; I own about five of them now! I first picked up the most impractical pink version from River Island, downsizing slightly to my current car keyring of choice from Asos. The two pictured though are in fact my newest additions from Primark and also come in black, red and pink. these look fab as an accessory on most handbags and just add a little bit of personality. 

Black on Black

It was a complete nightmare trying to get these photos. The weather outside was beautifully sunny but it was still cold/windy hence the all-black outfit, so practically every photos came out over exposed or blurred. These were the best of a really band bunch so apologies for the rather short post, but I wanted to stick to my 'transitional dressing' this week so I thought I'd put it up anyway. 

An Outfit of Go-To Pieces

Enter, my favourite coat of the moment. Once again I'm bringing out my £2 Primark bargain, I still can't quite get over how reduced this coat was in the sale. I've also seen that they do a pink version and I've decided that I need that one too! I like how this coat can be worn with a super casual outfit like this one or over a dress or smarter trousers for a more dress up look. Versatile pieces are my favourite and I suppose you could say this outfit is made up of a lot of them, these are all pretty much my go-to items...

Business Attire

When it comes to dressing smarter, as in work/meeting appropriate, I find it really difficult to find an appropriate outfit that is both stylish and business-like. My go-to option is usually a. A dress and blazer combination or b. Patterned trousers and a smarter jacket. Both work really well but as I'm more comfortable in trousers, I like to opt for the latter and this is one of the outfits I came up with and actually wore a few weeks ago. 

Neoprene Outerwear

Have you ever put together an outfit, looked in the mirror and thought to yourself, I did good with this one. That was me after putting together this look. I very rarely wear an outfit without any black but I managed to accomplish that with this and I also never wear blue and this whole outfit is basically several different shades of blue. New favourite outfit alert!

Primark Haul | Video

I really enjoy watching Primark hauls and so I thought seeing as I've taken a few trips there recently, I'd show you the things I've picked up. There's a real mix of everything, including my bargain of the century, a coat for £2!

Inspector Gadget Trench

Better late than never I suppose? This outfit post should have been up on Monday and then this morning but due to the terrible weather mixed with my non-existent home internet, it was near impossible to get this post up before now. At least it's here now and it's a good'un as I finally found my perfect trench coat. Light weight, knee length and highly resembling that worn by Inspector Gadget. Check, check and check. 

Spring Florals

This has to be one of my all time favourite outfits of mine - and it contains not even a sliver of black! I'm clearly getting in the spring mood with this one what with the serious influx of whitened light-wash denim! I'm actually on the hunt for a denim shirt that will work with these jeans so any suggestions would be very much welcomed...

QuayxShay Aviators

I never used to be a sunglasses person. I used to laugh at people wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day or even indoors but now it seems I have become that person. I adore my baroque-style Prada pair and while they are my favourites, they are very big and sometimes I maybe want to blend in more. Introducing my new Quay Australia 'Vivienne' aviator sunglasses from the 'quayxshay' collection (that's Shay Mitchell, from Pretty Little Liars), which I picked up just over a week ago and haven't worn any others since. I never thought this style would suit me, usually opting for larger, rounder shapes but I actually really like how these look, despite the Top Gun song popping into my head every time I wear them! 

The Knitted Dress

It was an absolutely beautiful day while taking these photos and I love how it's starting to really feel and look like Spring with daffodils in the background of my photos! I took it as an opportunity to bring out this knitted dress I picked up from Primark last year as I didn't really get the chance to wear it that much. It is rather on the short side but with tights it's fine and layered under my gilet gives a great transitional outfit. 

Details | Primark Rings

I'm not normally a ring person because the rings I usually find are either obnoxiously big or gold and neither of those are my style so I've just gone without. That is until I spotted these gems in Primark a few weeks ago, the perfect silver ring pack for me. Now they were only £2 so you do get what you pay for; slightly green fingers, but that's a small price to pay for what are essentially costume jewellery to just add something a bit extra to an outfit. 

For a non-ring wearer like myself, these are perfect!

** On a side now, I'm starting daily blogging and so I thought the best thing to do would be to put together a schedule. Now this may vary some weeks, it isn't set in stone but I'll try to stick to this where I can. Monday and Thursday will be a new outfit, Tuesday will be a video, Wednesday will be beauty or tips, Friday will be beauty or a wishlist, Saturday will be my new weekly round-up feature and Sundays will be either a little details post like todays or another outfit. 

As I said, this isn't set in stone and it may vary but at least nope you have some idea of what to expect day-by-day. 

PINK Tres en Vogue

Another windy day here in the UK! I actually got rather a surprise when I uploaded these photos to my computer only to find that there were more usable images than I thought. Please just excuse my rather serious face in most of them; the torrential winds combined with passing people left me less than impressed... 

Windswept?!

RIVER ISLAND jacket, H&M jumper, NEW LOOK shoes, WHISTLES bag, PRIMARK hat

Let me welcome you to the world’s shortest outfit post, complete with my smiling face on each photo! These were the best of a really bad bunch of images; let’s just say many involved me shivering, chasing my hat or pulling a rather unsightly face. The weather was definitely not on side this weekend!

Moving past the fact I could only use four photos, I do actually really love this outfit and it’s been one of my go-to choices if I want more of a smart/casual look. These shoes seem to be appearing a lot lately on my blog but it’s because I just love them so much, despite them starting out as the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever had the misfortune of wearing! Also, why I thought it’d be a good idea to wear a hat during high-winds is beyond me…

Dear Santa, I Want It All...

Festive jumper, check. Oversized cosy coat, check. Knee high boots, check. I think I've pretty much got winter covered with this outfit and that is exactly why I love this season so much, layers are my favourite thing and of course I also relish in the fact I get to buy a million and one new jumpers! 

Black Spots & Paint

 

This is probably the most weather appropriate outfit I've ever worn while taking blog photos.
It was absolutely freezing last weekend so this coat was a welcomed rediscovery and one that left me feeling toasty warm - living in the countryside in the winter can be an absolute nightmare so a thick coat is pretty much essential!

PU & Blue Faux Fur

It's November and I'm wearing sunglasses. There's something not quite right about this picture but I'm rocking them all the same. I actually only got these this week thanks to a £25 Whistles gift card I still had saved from last months Elle magazine. I'm not conviced that they suit me as much as I'd have liked them too but I still think they are fab!

Patterned Trousers & Khaki | Part Two

It's the patterned trousers again as promised! This time I'm styling them in a more casual, laid back way that could still be dressed-up for evening by changing the shoes.These F&F trousers are just the comfiest and most flattering style I've found, I just wish they came in other prints and patterns!
