Chic Happens...

The slogan on this sweatshirt is a bit ironic, considering this outfit is anything but chic. But this is my go-to hangover getup. And I'm afraid this post might not be too pretty!

I've desperately tried to disguise the ridiculously slouchy outfit (and very hungover face) with my new sale bargain- a leather black and khaki bag from M&S. Not my usual destination for wardrobe staples- but this bag may just be the start of many. Reduced from £130 to £60, this bag is beautifully structured, huge, and AMAZING quality. I know this beauty will be in my wardrobe for a long time.

I got these joggers from the Topshop sale- another bargain at £10 reduced from £40, January has been good to me. The alcohol, not so much.

What outfit do you reach for the morning after the night before?!

Fix up, Look Sharp

As much as I love relaxed, slouchy style, I'm currently lusting over crisp tailoring and structured pieces. Tumblr and Pinterest are full of amazing co ordinates, trousers, skirts, jumpsuits, and my absolute favourite- tuxedo dresses. DROOL. I've had one of these on my list since Cara D rocked one in blue velvet, but I'm yet to find one quite as exquisite!

Have you managed to work this look into your wardrobe?

The white leather jacket

A bit of a basic bitch outfit for you today- but honestly my style is becoming more and more simple as time goes on. This very cold but beautifully bright day called for my trusty leather leggings (at over 2 years old, I wear them 90% of the time and have no idea how they're not splitting at the seams- well done, Topshop), a black slogan tee from Zara, and my white biker jacket from Pull and Bear.

This outfit isn't even quite simple enough for my liking- in an ideal world I'd be wearing a plain black tee. As I said, basic bitch.
My black New Balance are permanently attached to my feet, and I'm still pretty chuffed about this Topshop bag.
I spent this weekend away with the boy in a hotel celebrating Burns Night, so am now nursing a whiskey induced hangover with E.T on the tv and a pack of chocolate digestives. It's cheat day (slash weekend...!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One day I'll be able to watch the end of E.T. At 28 I'm not quite there yet.
Lots of love xoxo



A Humble Abode

For the last few weeks I've been looking for a flat to move in with my best friend, and finally we've found the one. It's love.

 

At the moment I'm LOVING shopping for little treats for my new place- weirdly I get just as much satisfaction these days from buying a copper saucepan than I do a Topshop bag. Bit of a concern really. I've bought some lovely bits that I can't wait to get in there, but for now I'll have to settle with relentlessly pinning onto my dreamy Pinterest board.

My dream home is a mix of neutral walls, bright linens, luxurious faux fur and quirky accessories with sprinklings of gold and copper. MY GOD.

 

 

 

 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend- Mine will be spent in a daydream on Pinterest no doubt...! Where do you find treasures for your home?
