Feeling Beige

Feeling Beige

*Jumper : Sheinside// Jeans : Next// Scarf : Zara// *Boots : Public Desire I always debate outfits like this for the blog and try to make them a bit more interesting but hey, this is a personal style blog isn’t it? Well then this is what I like to wear! In my opinion there’s nothing better than a good chunky knit and a pair of jeans. These ones are slightly too big and I’m not sure if they look scruffy and need throwing out, or good in that cool oversized kinda way?? Thoughts would be appreciated! Although this may be a basic look I think you can dress it up with a nice scarf and heeled boots, boots were always going to be my beloved Public Desire ones of course! I love love love the knit of this jumper, I’m not sure if it’s fisherman knit or waffle? I think fisherman is the really chunky one? Either way I love a good bit of texture, particularly on a plain colour like this beige! I’m also a fan of this kind of neckline this winter, I sometimes feel suffocated in a polo neck but I love the high neck. I’ve been told it’s called a turtle neck. Did you see the article that I was featured in by Shop Style? In the article they tip me for success in 2016 and I’m still in shock that a company like Shop Style would find my little blog and see such potential in it! If you haven’t already then read it here!

Fringing X Leather Jacket // Part 1

Fringing X Leather Jacket // Part 1

*Jacket : Your Shores // Jumper : Zara (Old) // Jeans : Next // Boots : H&M (Old) // *Bag : Pauls Boutique  Leather Jacket Love If you’ve been reading my blog for a while then you’ll be fully aware of my appreciation for the leather jacket. So it’ll come as no surprise that when outerwear company Your Shores got in contact with me about collaborating for their look book, I pretty much snatched their hands off. As part of the project I got to pick three, yes three, of my favourite styles from the website and I thought I’d share them with you guys, because, well why not? My first choice was the Sandra Fringe Leather Jacket, I’ve always wanted a fringed leather jacket but never found one with just the right amount of fringe. There’s a fine line people! You can probably see by this photo how soft the jacket is!! I think thats the one thing I love about real leather jackets, what’s the point in investing if it looks and feels the same as one from Primark? Can you also make an exception here guys for the fact that it was raining whilst we shot this and I was freezing cold which is why my hands are red and my hair ain’t looking too great!This jumper was 100% my favourite last year and I kind of forgot about it and it was pushed to the back of my wardrobe for the past few months. Sooo I decided to give it a new lease of life, I do still love it but I remember what was so annoying about it. . the goddamn sleeves! The slits look so cool in photos (very aware you can’t see them in this post) but they hang so low and as someone accident prone and clumsy, they are always covered in water or spaghetti sauce. . basically any liquid i’ve walked past, eaten or even looked at. I’m starting to wear these jeans more than my Topshop ones which are so ripped, I know my Mum is praying for the day I throw them out but I kind of love how ripped they are? P.s love the way I talk about my Mum as if I’m 17 and I’m actually 25, I will never grow up and face reality!! Seen as a lot of what I’m wearing here is sold out I’ve made a little widget so you can shop the post – so thoughtful of me! Shop The Look What do you guys think to the pictures? I’ve been working with another photographer and I think they’re amazing! Check out Kirk’s Instagram here and website here!

Allday Everyday

This is just a quick shot taken in town yesterday by my Mum ( good old Sue Crowe) on the way for coffee, such ladies of leisure! As I’ve promised more posts I thought what’s the harm in doing a few smaller posts? Do let me know what you think guys, if you hate this idea and you’re like “I’d rather just see it on instagram.. oh wait.. I did” then let me know! – slash stop being mean! Anyway, this is pretty much what I wear most days, My favourite jacket and boots with whatever’s hanging around on my bedroom floor underneath. . such a glamorous life I lead! Ignore the white dot on my boots – I spilt toothpaste on them!!!! Massive fail, Sue Crowe’s going to have to come to the rescue on that one too, if your reading this Mum they’re on my shelves please and thank you! I’ve linked below the boots and some of the best dupes I can find for this jacket!! And I just found an uh-mazing copy in Topshop Here! Follow me on Bloglovin‘ and never miss a post!

My Fashion Favourites of 2015

My Fashion Favourites of 2015

So seen as yesterday I did a super personal post ‘2015 // The year in review’ I thought I would do a fashion-y yearly review as well. This is a fashion blog after all. So I’ve picked out my top pieces, some of them new and some of them old, that I wear so often that it’s actually becoming slightly embarrassing. 2015 Fashion Favourites Zara Shearling Coat I feel like this coat was some kind of movement between bloggers. Obviously the original one we were all lusting after was the Acne coat, but Zara did their usual incredible job of making an impeccable dupe. I love the fact that it’s super relaxed and cosy but still looks smart and pretty much makes any outfit look good. If I had to pick one piece in my wardrobe to save in a fire I’m pretty sure this would be it! You can see the coat in action in this post here! Forever 21 Suede coat So this only really just made it in and it’s kind of not really a 2015 favourite – more like I know for a FACT that it’ll be a 2016 favourite. My uh-mazing boyfriend got me this for Christmas and I am obsessed, if I’ve left the house (granted thats not been often) I’ve worn this coat. It’s real suede and the colour is that beautiful rust that I am loving at the moment, plus the tailored style makes any outfit look smart! Forever 21 Denim Shirt This was another Forever 21 purchase – get me, never usually shop there but clearly I should go in more often! I’ve been after the perfect denim shirt for a while. You know when you’ve got a picture in your head of what you want without knowing if said item actually exists let alone where you could buy it? Well i found it, a denim shirt that was heavy denim none of this chambray rubbish, and not fitted, all of the denim shirt’s I see seem to be western style which just doesn’t float my boat. Give me something baggy over something fitted any day! In fact I pretty much wore this whole outfit in this double denim look! Zara Saddle Bag I actually brought this when I was hungover and panic brought an outfit for a meal I was going to (I know what your thinking, who buys a bag for a meal, as I said I was severely hungover). Anyway, I’d been looking at the pink colour way for a while but wasn’t sure I’d use it so I guess when I saw the black one my mind was made up! I love having a small bag as a cross body I feel like it adds more to the outfit than a shoulder bag? It also saves me from filling it with junk which is what I’m prone to doing. As I’m obsessed with this bag at the moment it’s been in so many posts like this one and this one! L’intervalle  Snake Heels Loveeee Snake, I’ve only…

Black X White X Grey // OOTD

Black X White X Grey // OOTD

*Jacket : Fashion Bazaar // Jumper : Zara // Jeans : Topshop // Bag : Zara // Boots : Next Another Monochrome OOTD I know I’m pretty predictable when it comes to my OOTD posts but I’m kinda hoping you like that about me and perhaps that’s why you stick around? This one is kind of different in the fact that usually I’m wearing a white top with a little black jacket, and this time I’ve found a new love for a white jacket. I know it’s not exactly ground breaking but what can I say? I’m a fan. I got this grey Zara jumper in the Black Friday sales because the shape really reminded me of my old faithful Rust Jumper. Probably one of my favourite buys in 2015 and this is giving it a bit of a rest as my second favourite! (actually I just remembered my shearling coat – okay 2015 was a good shopping year!) The Biker Jacket Loveee this jacket. It’s a biker jacket but its not leather, something I hadn’t really considered before? And I love the colour, kind of an off white? The texture as well is super nice and I think when you’re wearing a monochrome OOTD it has to be about the texture. Personally I think it looks pretty great with my grey jumper. I already know I’ll be living in it this summer, though over a chunky knit will do just fine for now. The Saddle Bag Did I mention I’m in love? I’d been looking at the other colour way of this bag for way longer than I’d like to admit and when I saw it in black my mind was made up! I haven’t put it down since I got it and since I can’t afford the real Chloe this will do just fine for now!
