The Christmas day outfit.

OOTD #61

Hello everyone, 

Sorry if this post is a little irrelevant now, but I loved my outfit this Christmas day!


Headband- Primark
Bardort- H&M 
Skirt- Vintage 
Bracelet- Pandora 
Heels- New Look 

I bought this skirt in a charity shop in Bath way back in around May and I finally had an opportunity to wear it! I would never normally pick something like this out, but it felt so lovely on that I couldn't resist. I paired it with my faithful H&M bardot (I live in it) to keep the vintage look going. It sits perfectly on the waist leaving just a tiny bit of midriff. I popped on my Primark furry headband which I've not been out of this winter. It feel it makes me look slightly more Christmassy (I was very cold taking these pictures!) I bought these shoes about a month ago. I was looking for something closed toe as it is, you know, winter, but it is impossible to find a nice pair! I do like these though, they are really comfy and I love the detail on the front. 

I had a lovely Christmas this year, I hope you all did as well!

What do you think of this outfit?

When Alice did Paris: Outfit #1.

OOTD #60

Bonjour tout le monde! 
Guess who is finally writing a blog post?! I have well and truly slacked for the past few months in terms of blogging. I'm annoyed with myself for letting time run away with me quite so badly! Setting that aside, I've got lots of material from Paris to blog about so yay! I had the most incredible time. It was everything I wanted it to be and more- I always worry when you hear so much about a city or specific place that you are going to underwhelmed, but Paris was worth all it's hype. I'm now dreaming about  living there if my french is ever good enough!

On the first full day we visited the Louvre and the Tuileries (which I will have a full post on soon) and this is what I wore, firstly with my jacket and scarf and after with a lipstick change!


Mac- Primark
Scarf- Vintage 
Top- Primark 
Belt- Primark 
Watch- Olivia Burton 
Shorts- River Island 
Tights- M&S 
Boots- Office 

Whilst I was taking these pictures, I was being stared at by confused french teenagers, so bare with the poses!
These shorts were a fab sale find, only £12 from about £30 I think. They are a really nice thick material so perfect for winter with a pair of tights. I'm really loving hounds-tooth at the moment so they are right up my street. Roll necks have become a favourite of mine this season, I think they look so smart. This one is more of a t-shirt material than a jumper, so I've ordered a nice thick one for when it gets colder. These boots are my staff shoe and served me well in Paris. The weather was lovely the whole time were where there, not cold at all, so I made the most of wearing this not-so-warm outfit!

I hope you are all good, let me know what you've been up to! I missed interacting with all you lovely people. 

What do you think of this outfit? Have you been to Paris?

Don't you be wasting all your money on syrup and honey.

OOTD #49

Hi my lovelies, it's so nice to be able to sit down and blog for a bit!
I'm sure you're aware that I am in the middle of all my exams, they have all gone alright so far, although they haven't really felt that real or particularity final if you know what I mean? If you've been slogging away too I hope yours are  going well!

Anyway, this is what I wore today for a little trip to Olney to adjust my prom dress (which will hopefully now fit like a glove), have a spot of lunch and potter about a (very) little vintage fair- a welcome break form revision I'm sure you'll agree. Also, how pretty is all the blossom on the floor in these pictures? 


Shirt- H&M 
Locket- gift
Jeans- Topshop (here)
Watch- Olivia Burton (here)
Rings- vintage
Socks- Accessorize (gift)
Boots- Topshop (here)


I wore my gorgeous locket today, I thought it sat perfectly with my shirt un-buttoned (excuse the goosebumps going on here.)


I picked up both of these rings at aforementioned vintage fair (only £3 each!) I love the simplicity of the gold one and I couldn't resist the adorable pressed flower on burgundy.  


I wore my favourite Chelsea boots, they are seriously comfy and go with what ever you want to throw at them.


I absolutely love this shirt, it's so versatile and I wear it every season, I love the romantics/pirate feel about it!

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

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?
