Autumnal Feelings.

The weather is rather hard to get to grips with at the moment, so much so that my wardrobe is all disarray with winter essentials still hanging about on the rails. When I opened my front door this morning to steps full of fallen leaves it felt like I had fast forwarded to Autumn. What's going on? 

So now that nature has me feeling all Autumnal, I though it was okay to wear these trousers my mum picked up from a charity shop for me. I've seen khaki hiding in and about some highstreet shops recently, but in my head on tops and bottoms, it will always be an Autumn colour. Perhaps because military is often an A/W trend, does any one else know what I mean?

This is such a comfortable outfit, and I've worn it about town today and going to jazz it up with the Jasper Conran boots from this post. 

Hope you are all dandy sweets!

Last Night.

Hey all! Hope you are having a wonderful Jubilee weekend! Everyone seems to be having a quintessential  British weekend, with bunting, picnics, tea and union flags galore. I think it's rather warming to see the whole nation pulling together and showing some patriotism, celebrating all things British. Plus I caught the end of the boat pageant yesterday, and the royal family bobbing along to the orchestra was just too sweet. So yes, this long weekend calls for a huge royal jolly, don't you think?

I went out for a bit of a jolly last night and just had to wear this playsuit, I know the weather wasn't really on my side but it's just too pretty to leave on the hanger all week.

The print is what caught my eye at first, then the collar, then I realised it had cut-outs on the waist..and there they were, I had three very good reasons to spend £16 on this beauty. Yep, you read right, only £16! I'm also in love with these boots, I've had them for years but always thought they didn't fit, but recently found some silky pop socks for my huge feet and the shoes slipped on a treat. In fact they are by far the comfiest heels I've worn,and not too high either (a bonus for the boyf).

Have a jolly Jubilee sweeties! 

I Like Tea Cups.

Today I spent some money that I shouldn't have spent on some lovely cups from Next. I adore the home department there, there's always something quaint or quirky that I would snap up if I had the space/money/excuse. And they do the best kitchen ware, of which the most affordable and bargainous items have to be the mugs and glasses, a price of between £1-£4 isn't too shabby for something that will serve you well each day. Certainly if you are an avid tea drinker like me.

And seen as everywhere is embracing the jubilee with union flags absolutely everywhere, I thought I'd show you some of my favourite british homeware. It's rather great to think how iconic our flag is, and extremely stylish too.

Yep, I've been at it again buying gift wrap for my walls, there's just so many lovely designs out there that are too good to fold up and be ripped open.

So that was a little homespiration for you, hope you enjoyed <3 

Birthday Outfits.

As promised here is a short but sweet post of what I wore over the weekend, they are a bit of a mish mash as I was all over the place with excitement that I didn't have time to do a 'proper' ootd photo sesh.

There's a sneak peek at some of my haul in here too. After all the highstreet shopping I've done in the past week I'm now eager to go for a rummage in the charity shops, feels like forever since I've been. 

In ither news, I've come across a ridonculous amount of money spiders in the past couple of days, so I felt the need to do the lottery...fingers crossed hey. You never know, I may be a millionaire by the next post. 

Have a lovely evening sweets 

Birthday Weekend.

Hey all! How are you? I spent the beautiful weekend celebrating my 20th eeek! It was an absolute gem of birthday, and I've been completely spoilt throughout. One very happy, lucky girl right now hehe. I just still can't believe I'm 20 years old, I have no idea how I got here so fast!

I was able to stretch the celebrations across the whole weekend, cramming in lots of different things with family and friends. Hence the reason I haven't posted in a few days, so apologies lovelies, but I have been taking ridonculous amounts of photos to show you all!

I love cards. Buying cards, sending cards, receiving cards. So lovely. I ended up with 20 for my 20th woop. 

Presents from Jack. He was naughty and got me Erika Ray-Bans (in love with them) as well as a gorgeous clutch from Toppers and tickets to Thorpe Park. In my friends' words 'He's a keeper.' <3

Oh, Lola by Marc Jacobs, from my parents. My first proper perfume ever, now I feel so grown up. It smells so good!

Some sweet, girly gifts from friends and family.

They know me too well, chocs and biscuits. Sugar monster

I liked the array of colours and gift wrap, the 'Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake' is definitely going up on my wall haha.

 And forgive me, for the rest of the photos are on instagram, it was just easier to grab my phone at most times. Hope you don't mind!

p.s more to come in the form of birthday outfits and shopping hauls.

Girly Granny

!Hola chicas! By the look of the weather forecast this week is going to be sa-weet, and too damn right, us British deserve some sunshine. This means that all the outfits I've had lined up for too long can actually come out and play. Hope you are all enjoying this opportunity to show off the Summer wardrobe too!

This is the ensemble of today, a little granny chic don't you think? leopard print and pleats.

The nail varnish is such a 'pow' colour and an early birthday gift from my sister, it dries real quick too. Reminds me of blue smarties (when they existed).

Any who, I'm off to stuff my face with cheese and crackers, washed down with apple juice. A perfect summer evening snack.

Fluro Sunshine.

Hallelujah, we actually had sunshine today, as well as heat! Shhh though, I'm scared we might scare it away. Wasn't it lovely? I spent the day working horrendously fast so I could get out in the courtyard and sunbathe, I also managed a little rally of the shops (no spending mind you).
