1. Rihanna for River Island // 2. Topshop // 3. Asos // 4. Topshop // 5. River Island

Hey lovelies!!

This week I've opted for the 'Double Denim' look simply because I want both these items. I return home on Friday and I cannot wait to go shopping to add these to my wardrobe, IF the Rihanna top EVER comes back in stock that is! Have any of you bought anything from the Rihanna range yet?

So these jeans have been flying all over the fashion blogosphere, and why wouldn't they be? They're amazing! They are the perfect cut for high wasted jeans and sooo 90's I love them. I have read many posts about them and apparently they fit like a dream so if you haven't already go buy them!!!

With the double denim going on I've kept this look pretty plain and simple, but each item has a little detail so it doesn't go unnoticed. What do you think? Would you wear this?

Hello Lovelies :)

So after last weeks success I've decided that this will be a regular Saturday style post. It's really fun creating outfits pretending like you own anything and everything from all shops. For some reason I still like to stay practical and choose items that can be mixed and matched and worn with other things during most weather situations. It's nice to know that you don't need to branch away from cheap high street stores to create cute outfits but maybe some weeks I'll mix it up a bit and throw in a dream outfit shall we call it. Anyway this week as you may have seen from my previous post I have been lusting over tea dresses. This one actually caught my eye first whilst browsing on New Look as its so simple and can be dressed up and dressed down and literally worn in any situation. Since then I started noticing them everywhere especially Topshop (you can see some of their collection here).

This outfit is very *matchy matchy* but I kinda like that about it. I feel it makes it stand out more. I've opted for a navy cardigan and navy socks in this case as it's still wintery outside but change those for a cream cardigan and white socks and your still good to go come rain or shine :) 

Dress - NewLook / Cardigan, Shoes, Belt and Socks - Topshop / Bag - Asos

I hope you like this outfit. Would any of you wear it? I'd love to hear your thoughts so leave a comment and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

*Tea Dresses @ Topshop*

Hello :)

Whilst scouring all shop websites I noticed Topshop have some amazing tea dresses. The prints on these dresses are so pretty and I think these dresses suit everyone all shapes and sizes. They're perfect for both winter, with a chunky knit and some cosy tights, and summer, with some cute sandals and a topknot. I've selected some of my favourites to share with you, take a look....

1.    £26 but in petite range, but Motel @ Topshop do a similar version for £45 but without the pretty back.

2.    £38

3.    £38

4.    £38

5.    £46

Hope you enjoyed reading :) Do any of you have these dresses and which is your favourite? Leave a comment :)

*Bags*

Hello, How are you all?

So as the title suggests this post is about bags. With a new season approaching us I am constantly refreshing the New In pages on all clothing websites making sure I don't miss an item. It's becoming sort of an unhealthy addiction but oh well it's only for a few weeks. Anyone else do the same?

The things that are mostly catching my eyes at the moment are bags. Don't get me wrong the clothes are lovely but its too cold to wear the pretty spring clothes and I don't see the point in buying winter woolys as winter is almost ish over. Bags on the other hand are an all year needed accessory so something worth lusting over. There are so many I like at the moment it's hard to pick my favourites but I've managed to narrow it down to 10 (yes that's a lot less than what I like). So in no particular order here are my favs; 

1. I love both colours so much it was just too hard to choose.

Asos

2. The same thing happened again :/ oops.

Hey :)

So I've decided to try out something new on my blog and create outfits of the week. There are so many things that I currently want, instead of the usual wish list, I've decided to post wish outfits shall we call them. It is something that I have decided to do to bring regularity to my blogging as right now I will admit I just post when I feel like and have time. I hope you enjoy reading these types of posts and please comment with other ideas you may have.

So this week I have found myself lusting over all items black and white. The reason? I've never realised before how simple but stylish a black and white outfit could be.

They are neutral colours making them so easy to match with each other and if you keep the outfit totally monochrome then it can look so effortlessly stylish.

I'm not so fussed on the smart look as it reminds me of a school or work uniform but a comfy casual outfit like jeans and a tee teamed with a few statement accessories will have heads turning and just shout style.

All these items are currently on my wish list and eventually hopefully I will get around to buying them.

Hat and Shoes both Ebay/ T-Shirt- Killer Kondo/ Jeans- Topshop/ Bag- River Island

So what do you think? Would you wear this outfit? Also if your feeling brave you could throw on some geek glasses for fun :)

Hope you enjoyed reading,

*Another day Another tee*

Jacket : Topshop

T-Shirt : Bershka

Jeans : Zara

Snood : Primark

Shoes : Matalan

Hey, How is everyone doing? 

So by carefully piling items and balancing my camera on top I've managed to take ok (ish) photos of my outfit. I wore this the other day but I'm only now finding some time to post it. It's very casual and comfy as I was just going to class for a few hours and then on a shopping spree with my friend so I like to wear clothing that is easy to take on and off for trying on clothes :) I added my new red snood to this outfit to celebrate Taylor Swifts new album release called RED!! I know she's not everyone's favorite but I'm such a big fan and this album really is her best yet so check it out.

Also don't know if you've noticed but I finally have media buttons :) Courtesy of Shrimp Salad Circus check them out here. They're so nice and free!! Enjoy your day :)

*Spanish Buys*

Hey lovelies.. how is everyone?

So as promised from my last post I'm showing you my new buys from the Spanish shops.

The have some amazing clothes shops out here, my favorites are Stradivarius, Pull and Bear, Bershka, Shana, Blanco and of course H&M and Zara.

I love that the clothes I buy people won't have back home, I always find that everyone has the same clothes as each other in the UK as everyone shops in the same shops but I suppose that's true of anywhere really.

So the shoes are from Topshop which I've ordered online from here but they're new so I thought I'd share them with you. They're so comfy, definitely an investment item.

Red/White Stripe vest : H&M

Black gold cross vest : Shana

Denim Shorts : Blanco 

Black Denim shorts : Pull and Bear

Blue Shorts : H&M

Hope you enjoyed reading :)

Hey lovelies, how was everyone's bank holiday? Mine was pretty quiet just had some lovely days out with the boyfriend :) So before my wish list post I had just gone shopping which actually inspired me to make my wish list. I find that usually when I go shopping I just buy things that I like when I see them, when there are actually things I want. Do any of you do this? I think the majority of girls do :/ oopsies. 

Anyway I thought I'd share with you the items I did buy. I mentioned in my last post that I'm moving to Spain in September for a year so the items I bought are key items that I will wear a lot and that I can mix and match. Hope you like them :) I'd love to know what you think so drop me a comment :)

My First Wish List *♥*

Hey lovelies :) how's everyone's week been? Just like the post title this post is about my wish list. I titled it 'My first wish list' although obviously its not but its my first wishlist on my blog :) anyway enough of the rambling and onto the items...

1. Military Jacket - the one in the picture is from Newlook but right now these jackets are in every high street shop from Primark to Topshop. They're really big this season and I want one so much :)

2. Laptop bag - I really love this laptop bag its so so pretty and I would've bought it by now only the measurements aren't stated online and it's not in my local River Island :( sad times. If any of you have it or know how I can find out the dimensions your comments would be much appreciated :)

3. Chelsea Boots - Chelsea Boots for some reason are becoming very popular this A/W a few shops stocked them last year and I was debating getting a pair but I never found the right ones. I love these ones as the wine colour on the sides is like my favourite colour for winter.

4. Tube / Disco Pants - they're called tube pants in River Island but these look so much like the AA disco pants. I tried them on the other day and they fit so nice ( they we're a struggle to pull up though :/ ) If I hadn't bought as much as I had before I saw these I would've bought them but for now they're on my wish list :)

5. Moustache Tank Top - How cool is all this moustache print? Does anyone else love it as much as me? I think its so cool and simple. This tank is from Newlook and at £7.99 its such a bargain.

6. Peplum Top - Finally my last item is this peplum top. I think the fit looks so feminine and I love the little cap sleeves. Why haven't peplum tops been around before they're so so pretty and stylish :) oh and I forgot to mention this one is from Topshop :)

So I thought now would be a good time to mention that I'm moving to Spain for a year in September and I have to pack my life into two bags :( so hard. So seen as I have to keep the buying to a minimum as I already have loads you can expect to see more of these wish lists :)

Does anyone else love making wish lists then ticking them off when you own the items or just like to dream?

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend  :) It's sadly going to be a rainy one :(

* Statement Collars *

Hello lovelies, this post is all about the collar. It's been a big trend for S/S 2012 and I'm hoping it will continue through A/W too 'cause I just love it. Thought I'd share with you my few pieces...

The above two pictures are of collar tips, they're really simple but I think they can really complete a simple outfit. You can get these in most high street shops now or grab a bargain on ebay but my two pairs came from my nan :) Don't you just love when old styles come back into fashion and you can just raid your nan's wardrobe.

This is quite a stiff add on collar and it really jazzes up a simple blouse. I got this lil' beauty in the topshop sale and the detail is so so pretty I had to take a close up 'cause the first picture didn't quite do it justice.

Finally this is a beaded peter pan type necklace, the peter pan collar shape has been big for quite a while now and now that they come as necklaces its easy to add to any outfit. I got mine from Matalan and at £2.50 it was such a bargain.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about statement collars, which one is your favourite? Do you think they're gonna last through to A/W, I hope so anyway cos they're so stylish. Hope you've all had a good day enjoying the sunshine while it lasts :)

Outfits

Hey, so seen as we're having typical british summer weather right now I've tried a new method of outfit posting which I've read about recently. Hope you enjoy :)

I wasn't really doing much on this day so I went for a more casual look, I love these leggings because they're bright and summery and I think the bag matches well :)

Shirt: Urban Outfitters

Vest: Primark

Leggings: Primark

Shoes: Converse

Bag: Primark

This outfit I wore to a baby shower, once again it was raining so I had to wear my leather jacket. Since the trousers had so much going on I kept it simple.

Jacket: Topshop

Vest: Matalan

Trousers: Primark

This outfit was for my anniversary meal with my boyfriend, since we went to London the weekend before we just went to nandos in the night. It's not a very dressy place so I wore jeans but I smartened it up with my blazer :)

Blazer: Primark

Vest: Matalan

Jeans: Topshop

Shoes: Matalan

Necklace: Miss Selfridge

Once again I had to wear my leather jacket with this outfit but I think it photographs nicer without. This was one of my outfits for London.

Vest: Matalan

Jeans: River Island

Shoes: Matalan

Necklace: Miss Selfridge

Finally I'm off to London again tomorrow, this time with my mother, thankfully the weather is supposed to be nice so I've opted for shorts (might wear tights too though).

Vest: Zara

Shorts: Zara

Necklace: Miss Selfridge
