No place I'd rather be.

OOTD #41

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a lovely Sunday.
I was recently contacted by House of Fraser asking if I would like to be part of their `Inspired by mum` blogger challenge for Mothers day. The prize is a wonderful £100 worth of vouchers- so well worth entering I'm sure you'll agree!


Appoligies for my weird expressions, I wasn't feeling 100% but I was determined to get these pictures!

Jacket- Primark 
Necklace- Mum's
Cami top- Mum's 
Watch- Urban Outfitters
Jeans- Primark
Bag- Mum's (vintage)
Boots- Topshop (here)

As you might be able to tell, I took this challenge as a licence to raid my Mum's wardrobe!


The first thing I pounced on was this bag; I love the velvet and brocade combination and it the perfect size to be used as a clutch. The little tassel is so sweet as well. 


I've featured this necklace a few times on the blog now, I love the elegance it lends to any outfit. It's the perfect length for me and it's a fab piece of jewelry to just throw on and know it will look lovely. 


This jacket comes as a sneak peak form my next haul- I thought the check pattern was the perfect way to break up an otherwise all black outfit (not actually like me at all) I've seen this on lots of blogs so I was so happy when I spotted in in primark in my size.


I deiced on this gorgeous textured turquoise glitter polish form M&S. It's a lovely spring shade and catches the light so perfectly.- I'm just dreading the removal!


I went for my Urban Outfitters watch, I don't wear it enough considering I love love love it. 


Oh dear, I'm obsessed with these boots- expect to see them a whole lot more! I would finish this whole look of with a generous spritz of YSL's Manifesto from  House of Fraser, a perfume me and my mum would happily both wear :) 

What do you think of this outfit? What look is inspired by your mum?

I'll forget you not.

OOTD #38

Hello my loves,
I have had the most lovely day; I bought my prom dress! I love love love it so much, I'm sure you will be hearing a lot more about it! My mum my sister and me also went out for lunch at one of our favourite Italians and then did a spot of charity shopping and picked up some wonderful bargains, a pin board for only a pound, an unopened ted baker set and also a gorgeous vintagey Paris poster. 

This outfit of the day is what I wore on Monday for another spot of charity shopping whit my friend (call me obsessed!) wearing one of my favorite dresses. 


Leather jacket - ASOS 
Dress - Vintage
Scarf - Vintage (Dad's!)
Watch - Urban Outfitters 
Tights - New Look 
Converse - Office


As soon as my dad whipped this scarf out of his wardrobe a few weeks ago, I knew I would be borrowing it. I adore anything even vaguely tartan/ check related so you can see why this is right up my street. It is super cosy and pure wool so it is lovely quality- defiantly a keeper! 


This dull weather has got me craving the summer colours, so what better way to help my self than on my nails? This is Models Own `Hedonist` which is far more coral in real life but still just as satisfying as the orange it is showing up here!


My faithful Converse where on to keep thing comfy and casual. 


My relatively new watch also made an appearance- I adore the mix of gold and silver. 


I hope your all having a lovely half term, mine has just completely flown by! 

What do you think of this outfit? What have you been up to today?

White teeth teens are up for it.

OOTD #35

Hello my loves, this is what I wore to London last weekend, I was a little cold but the sun was shinning so I was pretty happy! 


Hat- H&M 
Leather Jacket- ASOS
Shirt- Miss Selfridge 
Watch- Urban Outfitters 
Ring- Primark
Necklace- Charity shop
Jeans- Primark
Socks- Topshop
Boots- New Look




I'm a little bit obsessed with this shirt - it's really comfortable because even though it's a size six it's quite over-sized, so I didn't feel at all constrained like I do with some shirt. Also- how adorable is the print?! As I was wearing red lippie, I though it was the perfect opportunity to match it with this gorgeous necklace I thrifted. (post here)


I wore one of my all time favourite nail polishes- `Essie Bikini so teeny` which actually ended up matching my frilly socks, I do love a happy coincidence! 


It was also a debut for my new watch- I adore it! the mix of gold and silver means it goes with anything so I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of it. 



What do you think of my outfit?

Haul: Shopping the sales.

Hi everyone, today I have a clothing haul for you.
 I haven't had a proper clothes shop in a while, so you can imagine I was thrilled when I found so many things I liked at sale prices! You might have noticed the lack of outfit posts around these parts, however now my wardrobe has had a little refresh, I should have far more to share with you. I want to apologist for the inconsistent quality of these images; the winter light makes things impossible!


I'll start with what i didn't pick up in the sales, these three tops are from good ol' Primark;

Polka dot top with collar - £6

You may have realised that I love anything with a collar, I'm a tad obsessed with them! Navy and white is a winning combination for me and I thought this was just so cute.

Textured daisy print top - £6

This isn't something I would usual gravitate towards, but it actually really like it. I tried it on and I was completely smitten! This is going to look so lovely in the spring with some high waisted jeans and leather accessories. 

Pink and white collared top - £8

Lastly is another collared top (I would say sorry but...) The classic pairing of pink and white got things off to a good start, but what really sold it was the overlapping of the collar, not something I've seen before! 

River Island Chelsea girl paisley printed top - £10 reduced from £22

River Island was high on my agenda for a spot of sales shopping, I always find some lovely hings in there. Although I didn't come away with a lot this time, I love what I did buy. I've actually already worn this (OOTD later this week) because I just love the print and the fit . I also think it was a pretty good price. Chelsea Girl is their retro collection, and we all now anything remotely vintage pulls on my heart strings! 

Topshop pajama shorts - £5 reduced form £12

I picked these up because in my eyes you can never have too many pj shorts, also the print and lace edging was too cute to resit. 

Topshop sleeveless plaid shirt - £12 reduced from £26

Ah I have wanted a shirt like this for so long! This is perfect for a pair of jeans and converse and I love the faded style of the colours. 

Next tartan trousers - £18 reduced from £38 

These are one of my favourite purchases, plus they had a great saving! I would never usually like red and purple but I think on these it just works. I've already thought about how I want to style these so look out for that :) 

New Look monochrome daisy print cami - £6 reduced form £12

This cami top is a perfect transitional piece and I'm hoping will look good with everything! I love the delicate daisy print so I'm sure I'll get a lot of wear out of this one.

Miss Selfridge coral strappy dress - £10 reduced from £40


This is definitely a summer item, but one I can't wait to wear. I seem to have purchased a few orange things which is not usually my colour but I can't seem to get enough of it at the moment. This is the ideal beach or park dress so I'll be wearing it a tonne when the weather eventually warms up. 

Miss Selfridge monochrome polka dot shirt - £15 reduced from £32 

This is definitely one of my favourite things I've bought in a while- I'm in love! The mix of large and mini dots is so eye catching and it looks great tucked into anything high waisted or worn over for a more tunic style.  

Urban outfitters gold and silver mix watch - £18 reduced form £37 

Finally, last but by know means least, I bought a new watch! This one caught my eye whilst browsing the Urban Outfitters sale and I had to order. I adore the mix of gold and silver as well as the subtle geometric face and the shape of the hands, but don't worry, my beloved Olivia Burton will not be neglected (how could it be?) I just fancied a bit of variation! 

It's my sister's Birthday today, so we're taking a trip to London, I shall report back as and when! 

What is your favourite form my sale picks? What have you found any gems this year?
