Outfit post #33





Hello lovelies,
Hope you've all had a great weekend - I don't have a clue where mine has gone, busy as usual!

This post has been in my drafts for a couple of weeks now and I just haven't found the time to get it finished and posted, but here I am and here it is - yay!

So, here's my outfits over the past 2 weeks!

Crochet Vest - Bella Cosa, Polka Dot Trousers - ASDA, Flatforms - Next

How cute is this top? I absolutely love the pastel pink colour and the crochet finish! It's just adorable! It is perfect with patterned pants for a vintage feel look but also with jeans for a casual daytime look - a very versatile top! I've had these trousers for a looooong time, but they are a go to!

Jumpsuit & Shoes - Primark

A very affordable outfit! The jumpsuit was £17 and the shoes £9 - absolute bargain! You may remember this outfit from my holiday post, but I love that I can wear this in an every day situation, even in work! I love the vibrant pink and blues in this jumpsuit, perfect for summery days and cocktail nights.

Jumpsuit - Matalan and Hat - Ebay

I LOVE this jumpsuit. Again, this is something I have had for a while but haven't had a reason to wear it! One weekend it was a sunny day and I just couldn't resist! The dainty floral print of this jumpsuit has a lovely vintage feel which is topped off with this beige floppy hat.

Trousers, Vest Top and Necklace - Bella Cosa

Bella Cosa is my absolute favourite online boutique at the moment. It has some beautiful pieces for very reasonable prices. The clothing they have on they website are things I haven't seen anywhere else, I like that! These trousers are super comfy as they have an elasticated waist and look great with a vest top with a statement necklace or with the matching tee-shirt!

Tee-Shirt and Necklace - Bella Cosa, Trousers - River Island and Shoes - Primark

Here's the matching T-shirt to the trousers above. This is why I love Co-Ordinates - that you can have  more than one outfit with just a couple of pieces. This outfit was perfect for work, not only is the tropical print bang on trend it is super comfy! The shoes aren't as comfy as I would like, but they look good so that's all that matters!

Kimono and Flatforms - Primark, Vest Top and Necklace - Bella Cosa and Jeans - Zara

I love this kimono! I love how comfy this outfit is! It was a perfect outfit for a casual day at work - I love the fact my office is smart casual meaning me can wear jeans!

Crochet Vest and Necklace - Bella Cosa, Jeans - Zara and Flatforms - Primark

Pink on pink - why not? Same vest as before, from the amazing Bella Cosa. I'm not usually one for pink but I had a change of mind/heart this particular day and decided to go for it!

Vest - Bella Cosa, Skirt and Shoes - Primark

This is definitely one of my favourite skirts - unfortunately, because I've lost weight it no longer fits me on my waist :( But I just put a belt with it so it cinched me in! I love adding a pop of colour to any outfit, it just makes it stand out more.

Dress - River Island, Shoes - Primark and Hat - Ebay

I adore this dress. It is the most flattering dress I think I own other than my ASOS wiggle dresses. I put it with my orange pointy heels, orange lipstick and my floppy hat for a meal and a night of cocktails! It's safe to say whenever I wear this dress I feel amazing!

Skirt - Topshop, Vest and Shoes - Primark and Hat - Ebay

As you can probably tell I am obsessed with floppy hats, I have them in 4 colours! They just add something different to each outfit I wear. I adore this skirt too, I love polka dots more than anything and they look great with any colour!

Skirt - Matalan, Shoes - Primark and Box Tee - Bella Cosa

Very 50s inspired outfit! This tee tucked in perfectly in this 50s wide midi skirt! The subtle yellow colour in the daisy print looks amazing with these yellow pointy heels! These coloured heels are the best things I have ever bought! 

Skirt & Top - Bella Cosa and Shoes - Primark

One of my favourite recent purchases, these beautiful, multi pattern co-ordinate! I love the fact I could easily wear the skirt and top as separates. I would wear a plain white or black vest top with the skirt and team the swing vest with a pair of boyfriend jeans or harem pants and sandals, for a more casual day look. The patterns are beautiful and the multi colours allow this outfit to go with any colour lipstick and shoes! Heaven!

Hope you like my outfit post for this week. I promise (I'll try anyway) to not leave it as long next time.

Outfit post #32



Hello Lovelies,

Welcome to my holiday themed outfit post! I made sure I took pictures of (nearly) every outfit I wore in the evening on holiday and what I chose to travel in. 

I absolutely love going on holiday and I love holiday clothes even more! Although, I do find it very stressful trying to find the right outfits to make sure they don't make me too hot or aren't too inappropriate for the country!

But I hope you like my choices and hopefully they will inspire you for your next holiday shopping spree!


Kimono - Primark, Harem Pants - H&M, Vest & Necklace - Bella Cosa and Shoes - Next

I don't know about you but I love to be comfy on a flight. I envy those girls who can dress up  in high heels and summer dresses and step off the plane looking just as glamorous as they got on. I'm not one of those girls. I step off the plane looking like a hot mess - my make-up is usually everywhere or non-existent and I look like I haven't slept for days, when in actual fact I slept through the whole flight.

This kimono was perfect to travel in - not only was it super comfy and kept the chill off, it also looked really nice compared to my usual travelling attire of joggers and converse. My friends and I booked the airport lounge before our flight so I felt I had to make more of an effort. This kimono is definitely one of my favourite purchases and a bargain at £8!

Outfit 1 - Jumpsuit - Missguided, Shoes - Office and Clutch - Matalan

This jumpsuit has been featured on my blog before and I constantly rave on about how comfy it is (which it is) this was an easy/safe option for me for my first night in Tenerife as the light material meant I wasn't going to overheat, but it also looked nice without a tan! An old faithful of mine!


Outfit 2 - Jumpsuit - Primark, Shoes - Office, Clutch - Matalan and Lipstick - Barry M

I love this jumpsuit! The bright colours and vibrant print are what drew me towards this piece - not only was it perfect for holiday but I will also wear it back home with my bright pink court shoes!

These black heels and black clutch feature heavily on this post as they are my old faithfuls and knew they would go with everything I took to wear! Less shoes = more space and weight for clothes!



Outfit 3 - Snake Print Maxi Dress & Necklace - Bella Cosa

I love a good maxi dress and I think you'll agree this one is stunning. I felt like I could have attended a red carpet event - it looked so glamorous (even when teamed with a pair of flip flops!)

The floaty material was perfect and helped hide any all inclusive bulge I may have formed over the space of the first few days. This was a perfect outfit for a relaxed evening and a walk down to the beach! A must have for any female suitcase!



Outfit 4- Co-ordinates - Bella Cosa, Shoes - Office, Clutch - Matalan and Necklace - Laundry Boutique

Love love love these tropical print co-ordinates! They are ridiculously comfy and felt perfect for a sunny evening in Tenerife. The pants have a great detailing at the bottom (which I know is hard to see) which allows your shoes to be shown off more! I teamed this with my large, green float necklace and a pop of orange lipstick! I would wear both the pants and t-shirt as seperates, with red shoes and lipstick! 

 
Outfit 5 - Dress - Primark, Shoes - Office and Clutch - Matalan

This particular night me and the girls decided to go out for a meal for our last night together (sad times) which was a perfect excuse for us to dress up, drink cocktails and eat some pretty amazing food! This white dress is easily one of my favourite purchases and was an incredible steal at just £17 from Primark. It has a gorgeous vintage, crochet feel to it and was very comfy - the floaty skirt helped me hide the food baby afterwards too!

Earrings - Bella Cosa

I also wore these gorgeous, crystal grey and white earrings from Bella Cosa. This just added a little something extra to my outfit and I absolutely love them!


Jumpsuit - Primark and Necklace - Bella Cosa

This was my travelling home outfit (excuse the un-made beds!)
This jumpsuit is super comfy - it was like wearing a onesie! I also have this in blue and they look great with a pair of wedges or flatforms and a denim jacket. This large floral necklace was perfect to bring out the pink in the jumpsuit and make a comfy, casual travel outfit a little bit snazzy!


I had the most amazing holiday - pretty gutted to be back as the 'rainy city' is living up to its name as usual! 

Hope you all have something special planned for your summer!

Outfit Post #31






Couldn't agree more Vicky B!

Hello lovelies,
Hope everyone has had a great weekend and a productive week so far. 
I meant to upload this post before my holiday, but with the mad rush of panic packing and getting everything organised, it completely slipped my mind. However, you get to have two posts from me - this one and my holiday one, lucky you!


Wiggle Dress - ASOS & Shoes - Primark.

You may remember this dress from a previous post as I wore this for my graduation but haven't had the opportunity (or shoes) to wear it again in the day time. When I came across these pink court shoes from Primark I knew I had to have them! They match this dress perfectly and compliment the colours - ASOS wiggle dresses are my absolute favourites and I have added a couple to my collection!

Jumpsuit - Missguided, Shoes - Primark, Belt - Miss Selfridge and Necklace - Bella Cosa Boutique.

I adore this jumpsuit. It is such a staple piece in my wardrobe that goes with everything and is super comfy, dressed up or down. I also adore my neon orange chain from Bella Cosa - a new online boutique which sells a variety of 'beautiful things'. I would recommend any of my follows to go online and have a look, I have purchased a couple (a lot) of pieces recently and the quality is second to none! The jewellery is a winner for me, as it can be very expensive in places like Topshop and River Island, but Bella Cosa has all your accessory needs without the high end prices!

Heart print T-shirt - Bella Cosa, Boyfriend jeans - Zara, Shoes - Office and Necklace - Primark

Another winner from Bella Cosa, this beautiful heart print t-shirt. I absolutely love the print and haven't seen anything like it before! I don't usually go for such a casual look but I just couldn't resist this print and the box tee style. It also looks perfect with red lipstick!

Jacket - Primark, Shirt - River Island, Jeans - Zara, Shoes - Primark and Necklace - Bella Cosa

This is definitely my favourite outfit in this post! I have always loved shoes, but have recently become obsessed with having as many coloured/patterned court shoes as possible! I spotted these Primark polka dot heels (see what I did there!) in a magazine and have been on the hunt for them ever since! They're stunning and go with jeans and dresses perfectly. This jacket is gorgeous and at £17 a complete steal. I have been looking for a jacket to wear with my jeans for a while now and couldn't resist this Primark number!

Bomber Jacket and Vest - Bella Cosa, Jeans - Zara and Shoes - Primark.

Another beautiful piece from Bella Cosa! I love, love, love this floral print bomber jacket! Again, a bomber jacket wasn't something I thought I would ever wear but as soon as I seen this on the Bella Cosa website, I just have to have it! The floral pattern and bright colours are perfect to brighten up any plain outfit, especially when wearing jeans. My neon yellow court shoes match perfectly!

Those are my outfit choices for this post, I hope you liked them! Make sure you check out my holiday themed post too!
