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

Burberry Trench Coat / Faux Fur Gillet / Stripe Midi Dress / Birkenstock Sandals / Hat / Clutch

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!)

number twenty three - intro to Hackney

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So.. Yesterday myself and James moved to Hackney, London! A huge thing for us.. (First time living away from home and first time living in a city as  h u g e  as London.) I felt it was important to have not too much stuff in my room whilst still adding some personal touches! I feel it has a nice simple but personal feel to the room and as a whole has a really nice chilled vibe! I got all the furniture I brought with me from Ikea 2 x Clothes Rails & 2 x Bedside cabinets! The rest in here came with the room! 

With this move to London I'm hoping it will change me as a person to live my life very fully and adventurously! I've moved to the biggest city in the country with no job only hopes.. possibly a stupid idea but lets see how I can cope and figure my life out! First stop adventuring then job/permanent house hunting. I feel like having a ''fresh start'' or ''re-model'' of my life is a really good choice and I needed to break out of the depressive cycle I had started falling into a few months ago. 

From tomorrow this is adventure week, so any suggestions of cool things to check out/do/eat would be very much appreciated!

number twenty-one - As black as my heart

Top // Skirt // Jumper // Shoes // Bangle // Ring // Jeans

While the shops are littered with pastel colours at the minute, there's only a handful of ''colours'' I'm remotely interested in wearing right now and most of them seem to be on the darker end of the spectrum. My wardrobe consists mainly of black and I don't mind this at all.. in fact I like love it.

My wonderful boyfriend bought me these amazing Doc's for Valentines day and I am  in love with them! He picked them himself without any help and I think it makes me like them more- soppy right?! Anyway, They look so good with all this black clothing I've been buying/wearing recently, and the patent shine on the leather adds an extra little something to any outfit! 

All the clothing items are from Topshop I already own the fluffy crop jumper and absolutely cannot take it off! Next for me to buy will be the MOM Jeans, they are black but are slightly stonewashed which I love in jeans! Also if any of you have any Topshop MOM Jeans, you'll know the fit is super comfy which is always a plus! 

The jewellery I've added into this post is absolutely amazing and all handmade! The Great Frog London specialises in amazing unique silver pieces and I can't wait for when I can afford to get myself something, the skull bangle is to die for! I wanted to feature more jewellery in this post but ran out of some space! I've been obsessing over silver at the moment and these stores have some perfect items- Bloody Mary Metal / Empty Casket / Shop Dixi / Regal Rose

If you know of any other stores that have amazing jewellery like these please send links my way!
