A day in the city: An out fit post

Dress: Primark

Scarf: H&M

Bag: Ebay

Shoes: Office 

Jacket: H&M

 Mint Nails: Topshop

Hello 

Today i am wearing an outfit that i wouldn't normally wear. I have a few body issues so I tend to stay well clear of horizontal stripes. However, i absolutely love this dress and strangely feel it's quite flattering for my figure. I brought it last year from Primark for my honeymoon in Ibiza and never wore it, so today decided to wear it for the first time. As its so cold today and not really maxi dress weather, i had to team it with my cropped denim jacket from H&m. For a pop of colour i styled the dress with a neon pattern scarf from H&m and cross body bag from Ebay. 

If you are interested in my mint nails, the varnish is from Topshop costing £5. Pastel nails have to be favourite shade to wear during spring time.

Double denim and hearts: an out fit post

Shirt: Primark

Jeans: Primark 

Boots: Primark 

Collar pin: Ever Ours 

Hello ♥

How lovely is this denim shirt?! It was the first thing i noticed in Primark on a recent shopping trip. I felt it kind of matched the recent LFW Burberry show with the love heart print. I just love it. Primark are really upping their game with the new spring/ summer collection. I teamed the shirt with my dark blue jeggings but I was a little apprehensive about wearing double denim. However, i think the overall outfit looks OK. The collar necklace came from Ever Ours, a new Internet store i am absolutely loving at the moment. It was a bargain at £2 and i have been wearing it with everything! 

Hope you are all having a lovely Thursday?!

Outfit of the day: Aztec velvet

Dress: Topshop

Blazer: Primark 

Necklace and Bracelet: River Island 

 Ballet pumps: New Look  

Hello ★,
Wow, last weekend went fast and I can't believe it's Monday already! I hope you all had a lovely weekend whether that has been relaxing, shopping or enjoying London Fashion Week where i wish i was right now! Maybe next year. Unfortunately we could not get out and enjoy the sunshine due to my youngest being very poorly with a bug, so our weekend was spent on the sofa watching Disney DVDs which was actually very enjoyable.  Today I ventured outside as it was so beautiful and sunny to take some photos. A little too sunny, hence the squint in my eyes but still my husband is improving in his photography. Recently, I have won a bid on Ebay for a posh new camera for him to use, so that will hopefully improve the quality of the photos i post on here. 
My outfit:  The burgundy blazer i am wearing is from Primark. I brought it just recently so will still be in store if you would like one for yourself. I can't remember the price but I think it is around £15 to £18. My favourite feature of this blazer is the ability to roll the sleeves up or down, depending on your preferences. I have found most blazers to have the sleeves sewn in at elbow length which i find really frustrating.  The beautiful Velvet Aztec print dress was an amazing find in the Topshop sale. It has to be my favourite dress in my wardrobe at the moment.  The length is perfect enough not to worry about my cheeks showing and it also features 3/4 length sleeves which is great for when i have arm confidence issues, if you know what i mean? 
Hope Today hasn't been to painful for you. Monday is always a struggle to get through. Thank you very much for visiting me.

Hello ♥

Happy Monday. Today me and the family are having a bit of lazy day due to horrible sickness but are still trying to have a productive day. As it is snowing here in Hampshire (again!) i thought i would take some pictures outside. Although a pain in the arse, snow is actually really pretty and makes great photos. I found this red skater skirt hiding in my wardrobe with the label still attached this morning so I thought it is about time i wore it. I love wearing a pop of colour with black. It just makes a simple outfit stand out. 

What are you all up to today?

A very Casual Sunday

Happy Sunday ★

Sunday really is my favourite day of the week although it would be so much better if we didn't have those bad feelings, knowing Monday is tomorrow. Our Sunday was spent going on a lovely long walk with the dog followed by a coma inducing beef stew and our homemade double chocolate cake. The perfect meal to warm us up. Yesterday i had hoped that the snow would melt a little enabling us to get our car to the supermarket for food but mother nature decided to release more snow on us today. Good for my diet i suppose. The rest of the day has been spent having many snow ball fights in the garden followed by a harry potter film marathon.

My outfit that I am wearing today consists of my favourite winter essential from Animal. It is a lovely plum wool skater style dress. Really warm and appropriate for today. I brought it a few years ago in the sale for around £15. I brought the coat from Ebay but is from Florence and Fred and the bracelets and necklace are from Salt rock.

How have you been spending your sunday?

Date night outfit. What I wore to see Twilight breaking dawn part 2.

Last night my lovely husband took me to see Twilight: breaking dawn part 2. I wore a red floral Primark tea dress, black tights and black heels from deichmans. On my wrist is my rose gold watch from txmaxx, skull bracelet from topshop, and a pyramid bracelet from eBay.

The film was amazing, especially the ending. I was sat on the edge of my seat with my hands over my face. Won't give anything away in case you haven't seen it but defiantly recommend going to watch it.
