cutoutboots fblogger gold leather leatherjacket lookforless ootd rose selectfashion style teadress vintage wednesday

First let me start with an apology for the pictures of me in this post. They are in no way flattering and I wasn't given any opportunity to re-do my make up after work or ask the photographer (my lovely boyfriend) to quit worrying about the mess and focus on hiding my hideous double chin c/o a few takeaways (whoops) 
So yeah they're there to give you some sort of impression as to what the outfit actually looks like on :) 
Wednesday's ootd mainly consisted of Select clothing. I've been going in there more and more recently as their stock is really on point right now and its really affordable too! 

  I was going for a smart/vintage/edgy vibe as I needed to look presentable for parent's night at work. 
Jacket - £28 - I love the quilted details, it's all in the details!
Boots -  £20 - One of the comfiest pairs i've ever owned.
Dress - £15 - The vintage tea dress style and pattern are just so pretty.
Necklace - £6 - Who can resist a chunky chain?
Everything (other than the necklace) is available from their website http://www.selectfashion.co.uk/ and I bought all of these products from their Welling store.
Here's a rough idea what they look like on...

It's hereeeeeee! Sorry it took a longggg time but there was a LOT of stuff and I share a camera with the bf so that caused logistical issues!

Anyway, here it is, my SUPER HAUL! There won't be one like this for a while I can imagine :P 

 I really wanted to just dive on this pile and cover myself in it, but I restrained myself :) (P.S. Click the individual images to go to the product on the site)

First up are these ridiculously amazeballs jumpers from 'Alice Takes a Trip' they're super cosy and roomy and the only pastel pink things I own!

 Fedora currently not on site!

ALL of these lovelies were from MissGuided! I've only ever bought one thing from there before but there was just too much I liked this time around :)

 

I bought these from Miss Pap in the sale, I couldn't resist as they were a fiver! As you can probably imagine, they are gone completely now but go browse the site as there's some really good stuff!

Both of these babies were from In The Style. They're just really fun and casual which I love. I've worn both of them and you definitely get some looks with the boobie top! (Also the perkiest they have ever been haha)

 I haddd to buy the NAKED palette from Urban Decay, everyone loves it and now I know why, eyeshadow is now the easiest thing ever! Bought mine from Feel Unique as you get two free little samples of random things (I got a CC cream and Burberry fragrance)

I haven't bought anything from Toppers in a long time, but i've had my eye on these ripped mom jeans for a while so I NEEDED to buy them, and a buy from Topshop wouldn't be complete without lipstick (I LOVE their lippies!) 

 

Fiiiiiinally I bought this gorgeous fantastic amazing wonderous coat from River Island. It has to be the best coat ever, it's functional and practical but looks FAF. Leather sleevy bits, parka material, zips AND poppers, a big ol hood, detachable fur AND it's furry inside! Why would you not want to own this?! Haha.

So that is the end of my online haul :) I love EVERYTHING i've bought and everything came surprisingly quickly too which was a bonus!

First things first, I am sorting out the online haul post today, 100% So that will be up later :) 

I HAD to show you this jumper though! On a wander through Bexleyheath I just happened to wander into River Island...upon entering I automatically drifted towards this little beaut. 

 http://www.riverisland.com/women/knitwear/jumpers/Lime-mohair-stepped-hem-jumper-656750

It's just gorgeous. Being mohair it definitely feels gorgeous as well! The colour is reallllly vibrant and i've wanted something lime in my life and this is just perfect. I decided to take some pics in it as I don't think the one on the site does it any justice if i'm honest...(this was the first time using my camera's self timer so i'm a bit deer in the headlights haha)

 As you can see, the colour really stands out (and also it's very see through!)

I think i'll be wearing mine with a vest underneath as i'm not very brave...

I've tried it with dark jeans and it's great, and I randomly decided to pair it with my light 'mom' jeans for a laugh but tucked in, it looks AMAZINGLY 90's so you may see that outfit in the future :) 

bargain boots fashionblogger fblogger hotrightnow kurtgeiger leopardprint lookforless missguided ontrend shoes stylesteal

EEEEEEKKKKK!!! I'm such a happy girl :) For a little while now I have wanted the leopard print SPORTS boots from Kurt Geiger: http://www.kurtgeiger.com/women/shoes/boots/sport-tan-pony-37-kg-kurt-geiger-shoe.html  However my bank balance hasn't allowed me to buy them :(
Then a miracle happened and I had some money to burn! (Yay!) I didn't want to blow it all on the boots, no matter how beautiful they are, so I perused some sites and found some GORGEOUS bits and bobs (that i'll be blogging when they've all arrived) and then I FOUND THESE!

Apart from some slight differences they look VERY similar, and were only......
£25! (iiiiii know!) They're from Missguided and I love them for it, I ordered them Saturday and they arrived Monday,  so naturally I wore them today :P

They're AMAZING :) i had many compliments about them and they were pretty comfy considering I wore them all day! They're super classy and stylish. I wore them with all black everything and they really 'popped'. (Also, according to LOOK magazine leopard print ankle boots are IN ;))

bagporn blogged fashionblogger fblogger handbag hobo love macys mybaby stevemadden style tan toldyouso

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

bblogger experiment face firsttry hair hairstyle help messy selfie topknot youropinion

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.

 

fashionblogger fblogger help ootd primark primarni smart style wiwt work workwardrobe youropinion

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?!
