A t-shirt called Celine

Ahoy, me hearties!!(been watching too many pirate cartoons) Hope your all doing well and enjoying the sunshine. Before I get going with my post today, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone of you who read my blog and Follow me, because I just hit 4000 page views today!!! Now this may not seem like a massive number but considering I have only been blogging for less than 3 months I am beyond happy and excited and truly truly grateful. So once again THANK YOU so so much for taking the time to drop by my little blog!! 

So moving on.......

I got quite excited about this Celine t-shirt. May be it's the simplicity of the t-shirt but I just can't seem to get enough of it. Now I know it's been worn an blogged about a billion times but I love a good versatile t-shirt that I can just put on and go! 








Since we have been a bit lucky with the weather and all lately I thought I ll dig out these gorgeous trousers I bought from Zara last week to go with the t-shirt. I love the print the colour and specially the zip detail on these. And oh! boy the fit!! cropped and slim fit, my best friend!! Run and grab your self a pair because they are super comfortable and look way too expensive than they actually are. If you don't want to do the whole printed trouser look then they also do these in plain colours. 







I didn't want to go too crazy with styling this t-shirt because the trouser and the t-shirt it self is quite statement pieces, so accessorized with both silver and gold accessories. Didn't use all gold accessories because with the gold zip detailing on the trouser I felt that I might overkill the look with so much gold.

Trousers - Zara (buy here)
T-shirt - E-bay (buy here)
Bag - Dorothy Perkins (old)
Necklace - Primark
Shoes - Old

 What do you think about this look? If you have styled this t-shirt in a different way send me a link, I would love to see it!

Brighter the Better

This is something that I wore on one of those days that I just couldn't bother. I have quite a few of those days quite often. Between working full time, house chores and running around my 3 year old and blogging, I some times barely have the energy to open one eye, let alone two! On a day like that my theory??? Brightest colour and the biggest print!!!

I admire people who take time to get dressed and apply their make up or go out to do FUN things. Unfortunately I lost that lovely freedom the day I became a mother and also decided I wanted to work full time. I'm not complaining because it kind of defines who I am and I adore my boys(my son and my husband) and I have also learnt to be grateful for the smallest things in life because of that - Like being able to sleep an extra 10 min's or actually have the time to have a bath with bubbles and candles and all that, do my nails, dry my hair, actually sit down and do my make up or my eyebrows and the list goes on. So to cut a long story short, I have learn to adjust and cut corners when it comes to daily rituals. If your a mother you will know exactly what I mean:)

I have never been the sort of person to wear bright colours or big prints but I have learnt that by doing so it can actually look like you have bothered and people can see past your dark circles and your tired looking skin. Plus it's hard to see baby stains:) Ok so my son is not a baby anymore so my life IS getting much much easier because he's three and he's quite a well behaved toddler but this is what I learnt along the way.









This shirt is from Zara. I don't know what attracted me to this shirt apart from the obvious (coral- my obsession) but I love the bold color and the print. I like the fact that the print has two main trends collaborated together- Floral and stripes! All in all this is one piece of item everyone should have whether you have time to get dressed or not:) 

It was a bit warmer the day I wore this outfit so i decided to get my slim fit cropped trousers out. As the day went on and I was running around I realized they were a tad loose on me. I haven't worn them since last summer so it seem to me I have lost a bit of weight. (Not complaining)




These H&M shoes are great as well because the heel is just the right size to be comfortable and look trendy. 

I do apologize for the pictures because I had no intention of sharing this outfit but decided against it later because I fell more and more in love with this shirt, so off to the roof top to get some pictures with Hannah using my crappy camera. 

Shirt- Zara (buy here)
Trousers -Gap (old - buy here)
Shoes - H&M

Hope your all having a lovely Sunday as the weather is just too glorious!!

Do you like this outfit? Do you cut corners or have tricks that you use to save time? Let me know as I love hearing your thoughts!

Bit Lady Like

This outfit's got three of my favorite things!! Coral, Lace and leopard print. However I never thought I would ever wear all three of these in one go without looking a bit OTT.

This dress is such a pretty dress. I fell in love with it the moment I set my eye's on it. The colour being coral helped massively (as you all know I'm massively into anything coral at the moment) It's great for summer. A summer wedding, night out or just a casual stroll in the park - I love a good versatile piece and this ticked all boxes. 




It was never my intention to style the dress with leopard print accessories. But there's something about the delicate lace being clashed with leopard print. I did have a leopard print clutch as well and I don't know why I didn't use it in the pictures. With the clutch and the shoes, I kept the accessories to a minimum and used a gold chain detailed belt and gold Necklace and bracelet. 






The finish of this dress is great. There is a cotton lining inside and for once the waist is so neatly! No awkward stitching and no threads out , very very neatly done. I could have left the belt out. But there's too much lace so I wanted to break it up a little.


The fit and the cut of this dress is a let down though. I don't really think it suits all shapes and size's. When you wear the dress it makes you look a bit top heavy. (a few people who tried the dress on told me the same - so it's not me being weird) I felt the waist is a bit high as well- this can just be me being weird. 

Dress - Gap
Shoes - Primark (£6 only!!)
Necklace and bracelet -H&M

TGIF!! Have a fab weekend!!

Boyfriend Jeans it is

Since its getting a little bit warmer I have been wearing my boyfriend jeans a lot! Dressed down or up because I'm all about versatility( as you know)

When they first made head lines I wasn't too sure. I tried on a couple of pairs and found it didn't quite flatter my shape as I have no curves what so ever. I was desperate for something a bit different to my usual skinny jeans. A lot of people raved about ASOS jeans because obviously they have just kind of relaunched their denim collection, so I did try on a boyfriend pair from them but the design was so not me. The colour was lighter and I didn't really like the distress wash so I had to send it back to them.The bagginess literally buried me! So I didn't really bother and stuck to my usual skinny jeans. That was until I found these!







They are no doubt the most comfortable jeans I have ever tried on or owned. The fabric is so soft and light. Perfect for this weather. I wouldn't say it's your typical boyfriend shape though but this will do for me. I think it's for people exactly like me who wants to wear boyfriend jeans but don't really want to break away from your usual style THAT much. Unlike other boyfriend jeans, where you really have to be super cool to wear it and get away with it, these jeans are so flattering and suits any body shape. (and can also be worn by people who are not so cool- like my self)







One of my other favorite things about these jeans is that the rise is a bit higher than what I normally wear but its not uncomfortable at all because when your used to wearing low rise skinny jeans all the time, high rise needs a bit getting used to. How I have styled my boyfriend jeans is not one of my favorites because I'd swap the heels with flat pumps for a more relaxed look ( I love a good relaxed look)

This is such a simple look. I have worn a Plain white t-shirt and a blazer with the jeans. I wore this blazer here. Absolutely love this exotic leaf print and of course I had to wear this spike necklace to match it to the print( OCD about matching things)

I'm sorry I haven't posted any exciting outfits lately. I have been so busy, it's a miracle I find the time to blog. Between working full time, running around my 3 year old, house chores and spending some time with my husband, I haven't had time to be creative with my outfits. I just throw something on in the morning before I'm running around like a mad woman. So I will try my best to do some outfits that's actually a bit more exciting:-)

Have a Fab Week!

Peek-a-boo

I have had quite a busy and productive weekend. Lots of cleaning and sorting things out, which I always tend to put off. Plus the weather wasn't too bad either was it?? So all in all it was a lovely weekend!

I have couple of outfits to share, so I was struggling to choose which one to post today.

If you have been following my blog you'd know I love my denim. I have about 4 denim shirts, all different shades and quite a few pairs of jeans. I use my denim shirts as a soft layering piece to wear on top of my vest tops or dresses in spring/ summer and in winter I layer it underneath my jumpers.






I also love dressing my denim shirts up (here) and this is another one of those. So dogtooth print is not a massive trend anymore but I got this skirt from Primark some time ago. 

Now, in my previous post I said I don't normally buy clothes from Primark unless it's the limited collection but every now and then I do find quite nice pieces there. I like this skirt because of the neon waist band. Again, if you have been following my posts you ll know, I like to buy pieces that's quite different from the typical on trend pieces. My leather skirt and this dogtooth skirt are a few. I say dogtooth, but it's more like a distressed version of the dogtooth print. (another reason why I like this skirt)








This denim shirt is a very soft, light weight denim. Perfect for spring days, like the past couple of days we have had. The contrast against the neon waist band really stands out.
I have used my necklace to match the dogtooth print to the spikes on it. ( as I'm a bit OCD about matching things:-) used a simple pair of open heels to go with the outfit. Oh! And my trusted leather clutch/bag to keep all my stuff in.

Denim shirt- Gap
Skirt -Primark
Necklace- Primark

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

What do you think about this outfit?? Like the skirt? Would love to hear from you!

Take me away

It's a bit crazy to get so excited about bit of sunshine. But living in England, where weather is so unpredictable you can't really blame anyone can you??

 I have been wanting to wear this outfit since last summer. I bought this skirt from Pull & Bear last summer. But never got a chance to wear it. This skirt is everything I want in a maxi skirt. I have never been able to find a skirt that's long enough for me, ok! I'm not THAT tall (5'6) but the length has never been right. I love the pleats, the pastel colour and the shape of this skirt so much.






Even though it's still not maxi skirt weather, I just couldn't resist it anymore. When it comes to styling I know what I want, I know exactly what works for me and what doesn't. Didn't want to clash my textures, so the top is a sheer fabric to match the skirt. I also didn't want contrasting colours either,so the colours pretty much blends in.

I have matched the brown belt to my shoes. Then matched the chain detailing on the belt, to my chain bracelet (which is a necklace) The only colour pop in this outfit are my lips and bag which I tried to match as well. Sometimes I feel like I think too much into my outfits. Something looking good with something else is just not good enough for me. I go so deep into every small detailing.






You can even style it down for a more casual look with sandals or flat ballet pumps. I will also be wearing this with a darker vest tops when the weather gets warmer:-) 
(I have uploaded more pictures than usual because I love this skirt that much)

Skirt- Pull & Bear (similar here)
Top- Zara (old)
Shoes - Dorothy Perkins (old)
Bag - Primark ( only £4)


Do you love this skirt as much as I do?? Where do you shop for maxi skirts?

Spring is in the air


Finally saw a glimpse of spring and I'm so excited! I have had way too many chocolates my body can handle and feeling rather bloated, if I can persuade and drag my lazy self along for a run I think I might be able to burn at least quarter of the chocolate I consumed this weekend. But I don't see that happening any time soon. So lets move on!

Today's outfit is very preppy(ish). This trend is one of my favorite trends. May be because I think it's one of the easiest outfits to put together. I wore this floral printed trouser here. It's so comfy and I love how the print is so easy on the eye, so a bit of sunshine and I thought I ll take it out. It was still a bit cold even though the sun was out so I wore this jumper+shirt combo. This bright pink jumper is great when introducing spring colors.







 Got too excited when I realized didn't really have to wear my boots:) So I went for these Lace up Oxfords from Gap. Bought these last Autumn but you can buy similar here. (My once are Suede but the similar once are leather).They are so soft and very lightweight that some times I forget I'm wearing them.








I have had problem's with my bloglovin but managed to get it fixed today. So if you are following me you didn't get any of my blog updates from March 11th because of this. Not to worry it's fixed! Please feel free to have a nosy if you missed my previous blogs:) (thank you)
