I'm a whole lotta trouble

Cardigan - Primark
Top - Topshop

I'm so excited to stcok up my A/W wardrobe! Everytime I go shopping right now I'm seeing more and more things to add to my mental wishlist. Damn you Topshop/River Island/Primark/H&M/Zara when I'm trying to save money! I couldnt resist picking up this cute zebra cardigan the other week in Leicester. It was the last one in my size (after begging with the shop assistant to take this one off the mannequin!) and is still a bit big but I always find the sizing in Primark really hit and miss. It has gotten better in recent years but most of the time I can pick the exact same size in 4 exactly the same dresses and each one will fit differently. For £16 this cardi is an absoulute steal and will look lovely with greys and burgundy shades and it's so cosy!
I'm off to Spain for a week on Wednesday so have a few posts queued. I know I always say this but I really need to blog more reguarly. It'll be nearly a year since I started this blog before I know it! Time flies so quickly.
Hope everybody is having a happy Monday(or as happy as any Monday can be)!

Cos I'm Something Like A killer


Just a quickie today, I've had these floral trousers from Primark (£5 sale bargain!) for a while now but I just really didnt want to wear them until I had a nice biker jacket to go with them. I love this jacket, I got it 5 days ago and it's not come off my body since. It's from H&M and comes in cream aswell. I'm considering buying the cream one to customise with studs but at the moment I have so many things to save for and so little time. Maybe if it goes into the sale :)
I hope everybodys had a wonderful weekend!

Favourite Tops.

 Top: H&M Lace Tshirt
Bottom: Topshop Tunic

Ever since we've had this awful indescisive weather (so since March?!) I've been stuck in a style rut. I have so many summer clothes I can't wear right now because the day either starts or ends with a dounpour, and I've been finding it so hard to find something to wear in the mornings!
These tops are my favourites right now because I can wear them with my black biker jacket and a cosy scarf when it's cold, or on their own when it's warm.
My boyfriend bought me the H&M top a few weeks ago which I love. It's really hard to get a flattering photo of but it goes with almost anything and is a good wardrobe staple.
The topshop tunic is something I bought on a whim after seeing this post over at Lilys blog. I didn't actually think I would wear this much but it hides a multitude of sins and can be worn with different cardis/jewellery/jackets to mix it up. I'm tempted to get it in other colours as it's only £16 but I don't think I like any quite as much as the grey marl. 

What are your wardrobe staple pieces?

We don't barely keep in touch no more

Forever21 Blazer (similar to this), Bank Dress

Sorry it's been a while. My posts are so unstructured lately, I tend to just whack one out when I have the time which I'm not getting a lot of at the moment. I work 14 hour days half the week and then the days I'm off I'm trying to cram in seeing my friends and family and get general things around the house done. So stressful, and I still live at home!

The weather has been so nice these past few days! I used to get so upset about finding things to wear in summer because I was very self concious but in all honesty I really couldnt care less this year! Life is short and one day I'm going to be a wrinkly old lady wishing I still looked the way I do now so I may as well embrace being young :)

I've had this dress a while now and mentioned it a few times. I really don't know if it suits me or not. I've paired it with my new blazer that my boyfriend treated me to at the weekend but it still dosent seem quite right as an outfit. I never wear high necklines or sleeveless blouse type tops so it's a bit out of my comfort zone, but I just love the colour and the fit of the skirt! Let me know what you think!

Hope you're all enjoying this glorious weather!

So don't teach me lessons cos I've already learnt.


 Topshop Blazer, New Look Scarf, New Look Vest, Topshop Biker Jeans

This is a pretty typical outfit for me. I've had the scarf since I worked at New Look 2 years ago and its my favourite. When I have nothing to wear all I have to do is get some jeans and a t-shirt and throw this on and I'm done.

I always forget about these jeans, they're too big for me now at the top as I've lost weight since I bought them but you cant tell when I wear a long top. Was debating throwing them out a few weeks ago but I'm so glad I have them now! I hardly ever even wear jeans yet they're in both my outfit posts so far. Eep.

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish.

Topshop Cardi, Primark Top & Primark Jeans

Very boring outfit today as I wasn't going out anywhere. Everybody and their dog seemed to be wearing chino type jeans last in A/W, so I guess I'm a bit late on that one. I've had my eye on this cardi for a while now so I got it on a naughty little spree with my Topshop card last week before work.

This whole outfit is not normally something I would wear but it's nice to have a change every now and again. I'm borrowing my boyfriends tripod at the moment so I'll get a few outfit posts out and see how you like my style. I love other peoples outfit posts but I'm so awkward infront of the camera!

Oh and I also got the Nicki Minaj O.P.I mini's the other day, as you can see in picture 2. My nails are like this for the purpose of my review which is coming soon but I actually think these colours go quite well together as muli-nails so I'm happy to keep them for a few days.
