The Latest

During my time in America, I spent a fair amount of time in Macy's. I love it in there and there is SO much it's crazy! I knew I wanted a new bag (I have a cupboard of them but I can't help it, it's an addiction) and I came across the Steve Madden section in the bag department. 
I originally fell for a more patent bag that I was considering buying, but I came back again and decided that I LOVED this tan baby. I saw it first in black but then there it was, the last one in tan, hanging just out of my reach, but I stretched and almost ended up balancing on my toes to get it and I knew it was love :) As if I wasn't already in love, there was also a RIDICULOUS sale on...and it went from $80 to $36!!! Craziness I know as that works out about £22~
So here is my baby, I will give it a break eventually but for the moment it works with everything so it's coming everywhere with me.
























So there is really nothing to dislike about this bag! It's really slouchy, but if you do the zips up on the outside...it's more structured (such a good idea!) It has these GORGEOUS patterned barrels on the handles which just add a little something something and all the detailing is in gold. The Steve Madden label is inside and stands out against the grey and white stripes. I justtt I love this bag! Also, I bought these notes specifically to use when my boyfriend is being an arse telling me he's right, so they stay in the bag all the time :P
Hey hey hey!
So I keep seeing websites featuring models with their hair in like a messy top knot but with half up half down and I love it! So I thought to myself that i'd give it a try one day when I wasn't doing anything...
It was really easy to actually do and didn't require any pins buttt I think I need to slim down the face a bit more before braving the outside world as there's a bit too much face on show haha.

Let me know what you think! Opinions are always welcome as long as they're cheery and helpful :) haha.
 
Hey! So in case you didn't know, i'm a teacher... :) so workwear can be a bittt of nightmare as I don't want to wear things that will get ruined and it needs to all be fairly flexible and conservative! 
It's taken a while but i'm getting somewhere with it. I have LOVED the past few concoctions that i've put together and I wanted to share them with you.

 
 The dress was from 'Pink Rose' in Macy's. It's such a great fit and i'm thinking of putting a belt around next time (?) The bag - which will be featured in a post sooooon - is Steve Maddenm and the leggings and my shoes are all from good old Primark :)
 OK so I totally loved this outfit. Rediscovered an old Primark blazer over the summer and put it to good use! It's such a lovely bronzey colour so it was the perfect excuse to pair it with my leopard print Primarni pumps :)
The top and jeans were also Primark, the jeans fit like a glove and are aaaaamazing. 
So what do you all think? Am I going in the right direction or is this just not working at all?!

 
So this was todays OOTD.
It all came from good old Primarni and comes in at £20 if not less! The shoes were only £4 (I know right!) and so obviously I now have them in 3 colours :)
I wore this to work today knowing that I was going to be teaching a (albeit boring) gymnastics lesson, so I needed something easy to move and stretch in.
These printed pants are PERFECT! It's the nearest thing to being in PJ bottoms without actually BEING in PJ bottoms, they're glorious.
I thought the outfit was a bit boring on its own and needed a bit of bling so I added my Disney Couture bangle and owl necklace from New Look.
I would take lovely photos but I can't seem to find my camera/I have noone to take them for me :( So you'll have to make do with this rubbish for now.
This just makes me think I want a bob, but then I remember what that was like last time!

It's finallyyyyy hereeeee!!!
I <3 Victoria's Secret PINK. I am obsessed with it and believe it or not it's one of the big things I get excited about when I go to Florida (After Disney of course!)
When VS came to the UK I was superrr excited as I had hoped it would also mean that PINK would too...however I've been let down with that :( 
The website does provide International shipping but it does cost quite a bit. 
The main reason I love the PINK range is that it's the epitome of stylish sports/casual. It was originally aimed at college students so as you can imagine they sell lots of trackies!

I did have to rein myself in as I would have blown ALL of my spending money in this shop because I am obsessed! Here are my amazing purchases :)



 I























As you can clearly see, one of the defining features of the PINK range is that it has the word PINK on everything! I love it because 9 times out of 10 the products aren't actually pink :)
I loved all of the sequins this year because they just made it that much better and I adore leopard print so I HAD to have the jumper! I discovered a love for yoga pants this year and I have exactly the same pair with a leopard print (again!) band, but they're in the wash...
On my first trip there, they had a deal on that if you spent a certain amount you automatically got a free bag and cup, so I didn't even have to pay for those!
I can't even say what my favourite thing is because I love it all :D
I would definitely say to give it a look if you like what you see and if you're holidaying to America anytime soon you NEED to shop here!
My new fashion obsession!
After seeing the likes of RHW, Cara and Olivia Palermo wearing this B-E-A-U-tiful Burberry blanket/cardi/cape/poncho creation, I was hooked. I've alway loved anything huge, comfy and cosy in Autumn/Winter and this ticks all of those boxes :)
Unfortunately my bank balance does not in any way support the £900 price tag so it was time to hit the high street and get creative!
Whilst what I found isn't 'technically' a cape as it actually has arm spaces, it's near enough and baggy enough to be. I found this beauty in Primark and it was £14. It's got a Greek style/chevron pattern on it which is either grey or black. 



 





 As you can see, it's mahoosive! (That's how I like it!) The fact it does have sleeves means it stays in the right place too which is great for me. I know it makes me appear 10 sizes bigger than I already am but it's getting cold so I don't care. It's fairly thick and has a really nice feel to it too. 
Perfect buy for chucking on with jeans and a tee and being effortlessly stylish.
Verdict: If you too love cosy, warm things, buy this!
So last month I did this to try and inject a bit more of me in my blog and I am going to keep it up! These are my 3 favourite things right now, enjoy!
1) Prayer In C
Oh My God this song! I fell in love with the backing to it first and then her voice, just BEAUTIFUL! Such a chilled song and it's my new 'Summertime Sadness'

2) PINK - Victoria's Secret
One of the many things I love about trips to Florida is being able to have a super spree in PINK. If you don't already know of it, you need to! It's their fun, dressed down college student range but it covers trackies, sports bras, cute girly bits, yoga pants etc etc etc and they're all amazeballs. I will be posting my haul of goodies at some point soon but until then, browse the awesomeness of their website :)

3) Guardians of the Galaxy
Unless you have been on another planet this summer, there is no way that you can't have heard about GOTG. It's summers biggest blockbuster (c/o Marvel) and although it looks and sounds just a little strange, it's actually brilliant!
I'm a massive Marvel fan but I had no idea about GOTG characters or plot and went into it all a bit blind, which worked just great :) There's something for EVERYONE to enjoy so even if comic movies aren't really your thing, give it a try! (There's a giant walking talking tree and a talking raccoon, what's not to like.)

So there we are, my top 3 things right now! What are yours???
