The 'Painter' Shirt | OOTD

Happy Hump Day! 

As I mentioned in my last post, the other weekend I went in search for 'the pastel wall' with my friend Sophie. Unfortunately we couldn't find it, so we settled for this backdrop instead (featuring some lovely cigarette butts on the floor for extra 'edge'...)

In today's OOTD I've opted for an oversized white shirt, with leather look skinnies and a faux leather jacket - a simple go-to outfit that I probably wear too frequently.

Anyone who knows me will know that I am very indecisive, which can make deciding what to wear a bit of a nightmare... However, when it comes to getting ready in the morning one thing is for certain, my outfit will be lacking in colour. Due to my indecisive nature I've chosen to show two slightly different ways to style this look, as I couldn't decide which I preferred on the day...

For the first look I went for an open oversized shirt over an off the shoulder top, teamed with a western style double buckle belt. I love the style of this belt, but my only frustration is how difficult it is to find trousers etc. that have large enough belt loops to fit the belt through - in this case I had to wear it over the belt loops, as they are too small (which I don't really like doing).

I'm usually a black boots kinda girl, but recently I've been loving these shoes that I picked up in Zara a while back. I love the shape of them, as well as the studded detail. I'm also absolutely in love with this bag - it's mildly similar to the Chloe bag that we are all lusting after (emphasis on the 'mildly'...)  

The second option was to keep the shirt buttoned up, with the added addition of a scarf (because lets face it, it's bloody freezing here at the moment!) This is definitely the more casual and more comfortable of the two options - very 'painter-esque'. For people who like to wear something more fitted, this is not for you, but personally I love wearing skinnies and something oversized on the top half.

The Details

Jacket - Topshop

Shirt - Tesco
Scarf - Accessorize

Top - H&M

Belt - Topshop

Trousers - Primark (similar here)

Bag - Marks and Spencer (similar here)

Shoes - Zara

That's all for today, until next time,

#71 Graduation Inspiration | Clothing Edition

One - Two - Three - Four -  Five -  Six

Hello! 

As some of you may know, I finished studying for my degree earlier this year and it's now finally time to get prepared for my graduation! As the date is getting closer I've been finding myself doing a lot of screen shopping, so today I wanted to share some of my favourite finds with you. As well as dresses, over the next two weeks I'm also going to be sharing my thoughts on the best shoes and accessories - so keep your eyes peeled! Although most people have already had their graduations, these outfits are suitable for most occasions and with Christmas on it's way (yay!) I'm sure there will be lots coming up! 

I've been warned and warned that photos from my graduation will haunt me for the rest of my life, so I'm being very cautious when it comes to planning my outfit for the day! 

As you can tell there is a bit of an accidental colour theme going on. Normally you won't catch me in anything that isn't black, white or grey but I am determined to try something a little more adventurous! Although black is a classic, I've been drawn to a lot of red dresses (which is probably because there are lot around at this time of year) as well as navy blue and of course, white. As I am quite petite I've tried to go for shorter styles rather than anything too long, as dresses often tend to drown me a little. The main thing I love about all the options above is that they are wearable and aren't the type of thing that you can only wear to one occasion. It's also great when an outfit can be teamed with either gold or silver jewellery, as lets face it, accessories can completely transform an outfit!

I'm finding it SO difficult to make a decision (there's just too much choice!) but my current favourites are 1, 4 and 6. 

What is your favourite (I'm looking for all the help I can get!)?

#65 Fieldview 500 | OOTD

Good Morning! 

Last weekend I went to a small festival local to where I live, Fieldview 500. The festival is usually known as Fieldview Festival but sadly that came to an end last summer, so this year they organised a smaller, invite only event in it's place. I had a lovely couple of days with some of my favourite people. We saw some great bands, my personal favourite was Sam Green & The Midnight Heist. The second day of the festival was Superheros and Villians dress up so I might share some of those photos another time, but today I wanted to share what I wore on the Friday.

Personally I am not opposed to the whole double denim rule, in fact I like it, I like it a lot. I picked up this Levis denim jacket at a Vintage Fare in Southampton for about £15 - what a bargain! To be honest I don't wear it as much as I would like to/should, but whenever I do I fall back in love with it. It's in such good condition for the price and it actually keeps me pretty warm! My Levis shorts are from Urban Outfitters (currently on offer), if you haven't got a pair then what are you doing!? I also have these in a lighter denim and have got so much use out of both pairs. My almost favourite item is this gorgeous hat from H&M, I don't think I need to say a lot really - just look at it *swoon*. Now onto the blouse, my favourite item in this look. I picked up this beauty from Topshop and I don't think anyone has seen me wear much else since. You can't quite see it properly in this post so I'll use it in another OOTD soon, it's just so simple yet different to any standard white blouse. I also love stacking jewellery and think these necklaces look good together, the elephant is from Accessorize and the other is from Urban Outfitters (similar here). It was a bit chilly and the weather wasn't looking great (it rained as soon as we wanted to put the tent up, typical) so I opted to tights and black converse - which I quickly changed for wellies!

#62 Italy, Argegno | OOTD

Top | River Island

Mom Jeans | Topshop

Belt | River Island (came with a pair of shorts)

Shoes | ASOS

Clutch | Primark

Hello! 

I have now returned from Italy and am back in the cold, gloomy thing that is England. I literally had the most amazing time away with my family, but more on that another time.  This is the final outfit I had photos of so thought I'd share it with y'all. I've lost track of what day is what as I didn't have photos of my outfit for every day, so let's just forget about all that haha. I am literally loving my mom jeans at the moment (as you've probably noticed!) They are so comfy and I love how they can be dressed up or down. I think I might do a post on how I style mom jeans soon but we'll see! 

I am off to a small festival this weekend so next week look out for a couple more lifestyle posts next week, amongst many more! 

Until next time,

Hello guys and gals! 

I'm half way through my time in Argegno and it's flying past way too quickly for my liking. You may have noticed that I've skipped from Day 4 to Day 8 with the OOTDs, it's simply because I didn't get any good pictures so I'm skipping ahead a bit - you're not missing out on anything too exciting though so don't worry! 

Hat | River Island 

Necklace | Stall in France

Kimono | M&S  

Crop Top | River Island 

Jeans | Topshop 

Shoes | ASOS

We've just popped back to the apartment for a bit so thought I'd share what I am wearing today but a post featuring what I wear this evening is due to follow tomorrow.

Shoes | ASOS

Last night we caught a short ferry over to Bellagino for dinner and the food was ah-may-zing. As well as my outfit I wanted to share the make up look I'd gone for. I always find eyeshadow a bit hit and miss but really liked the final look last night. I used my Stila pallet on the eyes and kept the lips simple with 'Shy Girl' by MAC. 

I hope you're all having a lovely week so far!

My straighteners also don't work here so it's killing me not being able to curl my short locks *cry cry*. On the plus side I managed to pick up a new foundation and am planning the review post already, so look out for that one!

#55 Italy, Argegno | OOTD Arrival & Day 1

I arrived in Argegno yesterday evening and it is so pretty! The views are amazing but the weather is a little temperamental, although living in England that's something I'm used to. I'm going to do a big post all about my time here once I'm back, but whilst I'm here I thought I'd share some outfits/make up looks with you all. Being a stupid idiot I managed to leave my foundation at home *cry cry* I usually pack more than one but the one time I decide to pack just the one I forget completely. So I'm desperately hoping to find my way to a well stocked pharmacy soon! Anyway, onto the outfits! 

I wasn't sure what the weather would be like when we arrived in Milan so I opted for my Topshop Joni jeans, a Topshop cami (in black), a Matalan jumper, my ASOS shoes, River Island hat and Urban Outfitters bag. I also had a large bag full of all the stuff that wouldn't fit in my suitcase! 

It was quite chilly in the evening so I chose my Topshop Mom jeans, a River Island crop top and hat, H&M belt, ASOS shoes and Urban Outfitters bag. I also brought a warm cardi with me for when the cold got too much. 

Today the sun was out and it was really warm, so I opted for this pretty H&M dress, New Look sandals, M&S kimono, Urban Outfitters sunglasses and the standard RI hat and UO bag (they are bound to make countless appearances!)

#38 London - Day to Night

Good Evening, I am back! 

Recently my life has been taken over by assignments so I couldn't flippin' wait to relax last weekend. It was my friend's birthday in March, so we ventured to London for belated celebrations.

We began in Harrods (which as her special treat) where we devoured a chocolate fountain and drank champagne (how glamorous), this was followed by going to see Mamma Mia, then dinner and then a club. There was a lot going on and with no option to go home to get changed, I needed an outfit that I could wear day to night without looking too over/underdressed.

 I opted for this Missguided jumpsuit (the belt came with it and the bottoms have been taken up - I'm short OK), Primark clutch and shoes and Marks and Spencer leather jacket. 

I basically live in black, so there is no surprise that this outfit is layered with it. I did look for a brighter clutch, preferably red, but I didn't find any that took my fancy. Instead I opted for a bold lip and red toenails to add a pop of colour to the outfit. 

Makeup-wise, I went for a look that was easy to maintain as I didn't want to be dipping into my makeup bag more than I needed to. I opted for a winged liner of the eyes, a bold lip, a peach blush and a medium-high coverage foundation which didn't need much topping up. 

 These rings were also a Primark find. I really like how you can face them either way so that they are a block gold, or look as if they are two thinner rings.

 I chose to use this Primark clutch as it's so spacious and has a zip so I was very unlikely to lose anything - which isn't hard for me. 

Finally, the shoes (also from Primark - I didn't even realise how much Primark I was wearing). 

Ideally I wanted to stiletto style of this shoe but my feet couldn't hack 30 seconds of hobbling around the store, let alone hours walking around London, so they were a no no. Originally I wasn't too keen on the lower heel but I've grown to love them. They are SO comfy to walk it. Literally, I can't explain. Last weekend was the first time I wore them so I was a little worried that I would be crying and buying new shoes after 5 minutes but no, I could have gone on and on. At around £12 you can't go wrong, so well done Primark. 

 Ideally I would have worn this hat (River Island) with this outfit, but again I didn't want to have to worry about it all day and night so wore my hair up instead. However, if I was a little closer to home or it wasn't an all day thing I would be more likely to opt for it as I think I prefer it? 

 And that's it, I hope you've enjoyed this sneak peak into my wardrobe. 

There will be more style posts coming your way soon, so watch this space! 

For now I will love you and leave you, have a great weekend.
