Paisley & Pinafore | OOTD June 2016

Hey guys I hope your summer has got off to a good start,  here is one of my current favourite outfits, my wardrobe is slowly collecting more pinafore dresses and my paisley shirt has been staple in my wardrobe for a while now.




Outfit:
-Shirt, AX Paris (New Look) - £20
Khaki pinafore dress, Primark - £10


This is one of my favourite 'throw on and go' outfit, its so simple yet the shirt brings a lot of added detail. The dress is faux suede, comfy and lightweight, I know these colours aren't super summery but I love it anyway. 

Enjoy!

Midi Skirt Obsession

Welcome back guys, I'm back wiry another wish list/inspiration type post, this kid of post is what I stared out doing but I have been on them recently but I finally have another one up. This time featuring my favourite current trend. Out of all the current trends, my favourite is midi skirts, I'm not what people would call a 'girly girl' but this is a trend i'm willing to jump on this trend.  have picked out some of my favourites from ASOS and Boohoo, they are low end leading up to high end, and with prom approaching there are lots to choose from. The first picture is ASOS and the second is Boohoo


1: Needle & Thread Embellished Skirt | 2: ASOS Prom Stripe Skirt
7: ASOS Geo Jacquared Skirt | 8: French Connection Flared Skirt

As you can seed from ASOS I have chosen skirts that have a wider variety of shape but are quite close in terms of colour, on ASOS I seemed to have liked more monochrome designs. The first skirt I picked is from Needle and Thread, it is A line not typically 'princess style' but it is made up for with the gorgeous embellished detail. I loved the paper bag skirt because although there isn't a lot going on in terms of colours the paper bag waistline adds flare and is also flattering. Number 4 is also a skirt that has a simple design but could be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Of course I had to include some stripe designs because who doesn't like stripes, over the years stripes have become such a classic piece in anybodies wardrobe. Number 2 has a more dressed up elegance to it where as the contrasting stripes, columns and a much less structured design leads to a more casual daytime look for number 5. For me 6 and 7 are two of my favourites, they have a much more classic shape, to me these feel like long lost pieces of Audrey Hepburn's wardrobe. Finally the mesh shirt brings a tidal wave of modernity to the table, with the cut out detailed mesh over a plain white lining which is slightly shorter than the outer material, which gives the skirt a more fun and flirty feel while still boasting a classic shape.
 



Contrasting ASOS monochrome colours, Boohoo boast a colourful cocktail of wild and vivid designs. These skirts all have a slight flare to them but the box pleats from the waist which loosen out further down the skirt gives the princess design a more modern, skater skirt feel. My favourites are the two porcelain and the striped, as well as the floral design of number 6. I feel number 6 his a bit more toned down but still has a beautiful design and colours. 

Enjoy.

The Royal Windsor Horse Show | OOTD

Welcome back guys, last Sunday I went to The Royal Windsor Horse Show accompanied by the lovely Ellie from GingerandVintage. The horse show is a much loved event by the Queen and is in her diary each year, for me coming from the north I have only ever seen parts of the vent on the TV but this year I was able to end myself.



Before we left I was losing my mind over what to wear, this would be and event with a real mix of people attending, did I mention the Queen would be there? Picking what to wear for this day was a real dilemma, I couldn't go shopping for a new outfit because we decided to go the day before, well prepped I know... But anyway this is what I wore.







Faux suede dress | Primark £10
Coat | Miss Selfridges, Gift
Rabbit Blouse | H&M £14.99
Tights | Primark £2.50
Shoes | Topshop £2.50
Sunglasses | H&M £3.99
Bag | Primark £5
Pearl Bracelet | Gift
Nomination bracelet | Gift



The atmosphere at the show was amazing, I wasn't expecting it, me and ellie went into the main arena, at around 14:30 and stayed all day until the events finished, my favourite events were the Pony Club and the House Hold Calvary Musical ride. There were food vans everywhere, and people walking around selling strawberries and cream and lots of shops/stalls to wander around and have a look at. My day was made when Prince Phillip drove his carriage past us, we were sat opposite the royal box this was a complete coincidence but then the Queen went in the box. All in all it was a an amazing day, with great food and lots of new experiences and we are already planning to go back next year, I hope you enjoy this post, sorry some of the pictures are low quality.












Enjoy.

Beginnings Of Sumer OOTD

If you live in the UK then you may have noticed that the weather has picked up so much over the past  couple of weeks. So I took the  opportunity to go for a walk through Hyde Park, Iv seen lots of little bits of Hype Park when iv been to London before, but never really ventured far in. Since I live so close now, I packed up my camera and went exploring with another blogger; Ellie from gingerandvintage here is what I wore on our little trip. One thing I must say is I really didn't think the temperature was going to rise as high as it did, maybe I would of changed my outfit up a bit if I did.

**I would just like to mention, if you notice, 
some of my photos are slightly out of focus, this is because 
recently there has been a decline in my eyesight.
I thought the pain from straining my eyes was down
 to the migraines I have suffered with every day for 7 years,
 turns out its not. I actually have an eyesight issue, 
but my glasses will be here soon so please bare with me for the next few weeks, 
as I have had scheduled posts for a while.**

Obligatory mirror selfie with Ellie


Outfit:
-Shirt dress, Ark (Christmas present)
-Faux fur gilet, New Look
-Jeans, New Look (I put the rips in myself)
-Shoes, Nike
Hat, H&M

I love this shirtdress that my brother bought me for christmas and have been dying for the weather to warm up so I can wear it, because I'm a wimp when it comes to winter and cold weather so I always wrap up; so I took this as an opportunity to show my love for it. 
I wanted to wear my plain black slip-ons but the day before I decided to wear in some new shoes and they rubbed too much meaning my Nikes were the only comfortable option, but I do love them and for only £17.50 they are well worth it. 
I have had these jeans foe around 7-8 years (I know right?!?!) and once they started to lose their fit, I added the rips so I can continue to wear them.
The gilet was £17.99 on sale in New Look, it was so much softer than I thought it would be. 

We took so many photos on this day that I will do a separate post of our adventure around the park, stay tuned for that. 

Enjoy

Current Primark Favourites

Hey guys, so as a youtube junkie, I know how much people; me included enjoy hauls and favourites videos. But I feel is I did a haul it would be a bit to tedious to read about the products on a blog and I don't want to bore you guys so I thought I would just talk about my current favourites.

So starting small the first thing is this adorable silver Dream Catcher Necklace, it has these really small feathers attached, its so minimalist, I think it was £1 but I lost the receipt so I can't be sure... sorry about that.




Next up I have these makeup sponges that were £2 for two, of they are unusual shaped compared to the usual egg shape but the different edges make it easier to blend the make up on the different contours of your face.

I bought these gorgeous real leather healed boots with tasseled fringe for the bargain price of £5. In Primark you have to dig to find the gems.


Lastly bought a white and red vertical striped shirt, it has an oversized fit and is super comfy at £10. Im not uploading a picture because I'm thing of doing an OOTD with it soon.

These are a few things iv picked that I absolutely loving so I thought I would share them with you.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, Thank you for reading.
