Number twenty-five - white trousers?








White trousers / slip-ons / jumper / Bag 

2 outfit posts in 2 days… Something of a record for me. I'm enjoying the creativity and am trying to get  into the habit of posting everyday when I'm not at work.

I'm LOVING white clean items of clothing at the minute and these trousers fit the bill perfectly, They're really good quality and are really one of them items you pick up in Zara and think- ''These are going to be too expensive for me to be able to justify..'' then you look at the tag and they're under £30.00!

My jumper is also Zara and I found it in the York store for £12.99!! Not reduced in any sale.. thats just how cheap it is! There's different colour options too which was a tough decision but I thought I'd stay faithful to the dark side of my wardrobe.. also I really love how the sleeves hang. 

My shoes are from H&M I can't find them on the website but I'm almost certain they're still in store… They were £25.99 if I remember rightly- Which I did think was a little steep for some H&M slip-on trainers when they're usually about £12.99.. but its not difficult to see why they were higher priced. They're a lovely shape & Really comfortable; not to mention they're my favourite 'print.' I couldn't resist! And also H&M have the desirable option of half sizes which always goes down well with me having awkward sized feet!

Last but not least my bag.. It is from Primark and is a total gem! I can't remember the exact price but it is less that £10 and is totally worth every penny. The faux croc effect is what made me buy the bag; as I'd previously been eyeing up the monochrome version but wasn't 100% on wether I was going to use it. As soon as I saw this colour way I snapped it up and didn't look back! Primark has some really nice accessories in at the moment and I have some other bits lined up for some posts later in the week! 

Has anyone else found some of the amazing Primarni goodies recently?! I'd love to see how everyone was styling them and see if theres any bargains I've missed!

Number Twenty-four - trench coat and a change of tune











This is the first blog post i've done in months, I feel kind of bad for being so shitty with posting.. but I have really needed some time for myself and some time to figure out what I was wanting in my life. Moving to London gave me some time and space to clear my head, since I've came back I've realised that it's worth sorting my life out rather than running away from it. I am a good & happy person why should I let situations and others take that from me. 

I feel I needed to explain a little and now I'm going to speak about my post! - I have had a total clear out and 'freshen up' of literally my entire wardrobe and feel I have really updated my style and gave 'done' clothes the boot and started wearing what I want rather than following styles/ trends and what shops have in currently. 

My trench coat is literally my favourite thing at the moment and is perfect for England's temperamental weather, I love the length of this one and it is excellent quality. You can buy them new or vintage.. mines vintage as there is no way i'd be able to drop £1000+ on a coat. 

Contradicting my coat are my new Birkenstock sandals, I love these ugly things and they're super comfy & again good quality! I got the Milano Style Birkies because I like something round the back of my foot rather than just a slider. 

The Faux fur gillet was a total bargain.. It was one of those finds on ebay where you're unsure if this foreign chinese sellers items are going to be legit/ going to turn up but for £12.00 I thought I'd take the risk… It is amazing for £12.00 so I couldn't not share with you all! (check the link.) 

All links are under photo apart from my dress which is Zara and my hat which is H&M! (can't find the products online but they are in certain stores still!)
