Starry Eyes



This summer is all about boyfriend t-shirts for me. I love anything that is slouchy and comfortable. This outfit is based around two things that I'm loving at the moment, and its this star printed t-shirt and my new black heels. 





We are having an amazing summer for a change here in the UK and you know what that means?? SHOPPING and more SHOPPING!! This star printed t-shirt is one of my recent buys and I can never say no to a cheap buy. At £3.99 from Zara this was just that:-)





T-shirt - Zara
Jeans - Gap
Necklace - Primark
Sandals - Zara
Bag - E-bay

(T-shirt, jeans and sandals are all sold out on the Zara website and other items are a bit old so I can't seem to find any links. Sorry!)

Feeling Blue




I'm the sort of person who likes to blend in rather than stand out, but for the past couple of years I have been trying to change this to break out of the mold. Lately I have been surprising my self reaching for colours that I don't normally go for, putting together and clashing prints that I don't normally put together. Which I'm starting to really enjoy.

This dress is one of the things I love the most in my wardrobe. I'm not really a girly girl but I love the edginess in this dress. The cut is perfect and fits like a glove. The back cut out detailing is what adds that extra detailing to this dress. Oh! and the colour is just too perfect. Just can't fault this dress in any way.






 I wanted to keep the outfit simple because this dress it self is quite a statement dress but chose these leopard print shoes because leopard print and cobalt blue is a match made in heaven.

Bought this clutch  from Primark couple of weeks ago and I have used it so many times already (including last post here)

Green with Envy.




I am absolutely loving the summer's ultimate printed trousers at the moment. Picked these trousers up because I fell in love with them the moment I lay my eyes on them. These trousers are a rare find for me because most of the time I struggle with finding trousers that fit me properly.






  
Instead of going for colored shirt I opted for this white shirt to draw more attention to the beautiful print on the trousers. The Brown heeled sandals are my most recent purchase and I have not let them off my feet lately.

Wonderland

Finally an outfit post! I have been dying to do an outfit post lately but been struggling to find the time and even when I do have a minute or two it's been raining none stop.
You will see a lot of leather and fur this winter here. I have been a bit obsessive about leather and fur since the weather got a bit cold.

This skirt is one of my favorite items in my wardrobe at the moment. I promised my self that no matter how freezing cold it gets I'm going to wear more skirts and dresses this winter because as soon as it gets cold I normally just live in jeans and trousers and never experiment. 






Cropped tops have never been my thing but since getting my self some high waisted skirts and shorts I have been purchasing more and more cropped tops, in the form of t-shirts, shirts and sweaters. I'm not a winter person and I never get excited about layering up to the point where I can barely breath but I have  kinda been enjoying dressing for winter this year. It's mainly due to the fact that I have finally found items that I enjoy putting on in the morning. 







  Top - Zara (here)
   Skirt- Zara
  Boots - M&S (here)
Bag - eBay (here)

Don't get too excited about the handbag it's not what you think it is!! I actually bought it on eBay couple of months ago and I'm surprised how amazing the quality is. It also doesn't hurt that it looks so much like the actual Celine bag..:-) It's big enough to fit in all my bits and bobs and so easy to carry around as it's got the short handle as well as the adjustable long strap and quite a few compartments inside the bag. 

I have also got some exciting news! Singer22 is website that I came across recently as they awarded me with their "Arbiter of style" award. They have some amazing products and with Christmas around the corner there are quite a few pieces that I have added on to my wishlist :-)
What are your staple items this winter?? How do you incorporate these in to your everyday winter wardrobe?? Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas:-)

Birds and the flowers and a little bit of sunshine

It's been too long since I last blogged but I can't seem to find the time and if and when I do, I just don't seem to have the energy. This can only get worse next month because I'm starting a new job!!!!! I'm so excited. I'm going to be training for the first two weeks of September and then I'm going to be traveling quite a lot so how I'm going to find the time to blog is beyond me. 

Trying to catch up on lots of things this month before I start my new job. Spend as much time with the boys, find a nursery for my son, finish all the bits and bobs I started around the house that I never finish, catch up with my blogging and I'm still working because I don't leave my current job till the end of this month. 

Moving on to the outfit, I have wanted this dress ever since I saw it in Zara in the beginning of spring, but it was £49.99 (i think) so I didn't really want to buy it then and when I was ready it was transferred off to a another store. So I never got around to buying it, until I saw it in the sale last month for only £17.99!!! 

It's such a pretty dress. I have wanted to have a pretty cut out dress for ages but never found the right dress. I am a bit picky about what bits the cut outs going to be showing off. Since having my son, I have quite a few stretch marks on my tummy area, so I never found the right dress until this baby came around. I have a wedding next month so this dress will be perfect for that.








 The print is so summery and the cut of this dress is so flattering. As you can see the cut out is very safe and doesn't show off too much flesh and the back of the dress is just a plain high neck back. It's so comfortable to wear. The only thing I am not too happy with is the length if the dress. It's a little bit too long, I'm 5 7' and as you can see even with the wedges it's touching the floor. I was actually hoping to wear this dress with a pair of flat sandals after the wedding, but unless I get it shortened I don't think that will be possible.





 Dress - Zara
Necklace -H&M
Shoes - Primark 

I wanted to keep the styling of this dress very simple, plus with a dress this pretty you don't need to do much styling anyway.

What do you think about this dress?? Are a fan of the cut out dress trend??

Something Blue

TGI Friday and what is it this I'm hearing the weather is going to be nice?? 

Outfit today is something I wore last week. Had these trousers since last summer and I literally wore them every where. They are so comfortable, versatile and so easy to style and great to break away from the every day jeans. They are from Zara and my only regret is that I didn't buy another pair because they had it in many prints including leopard print. 

I've worn them with a plain t-shirt for a casual look and I love it. I wasn't too sure about them when I first got them but I soon converted. I'm hoping Zara would do them again this summer. I have tried on similar pairs at Dorothy Perkins, Next and H&M but they are not the same for some reason. So got my fingers and toes crossed for Zara. 






The white lace top is simple but pair it up with the trousers it still manage to stand out quite well with the lace trims. I have been waiting to get these heels out and this outfit gave me the perfect opportunity. I have had them for almost 2 years now and it's such a shame that I can only wear them in summer. 






Trouser- Zara
Top - H&M
Shoes- Zara
Clutch- ASOS

What do you think about this outfit?? How would you Style these Trousers? 

Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!
