It's quite difficult to navigate around Wordpress. Visually I prefer it but if I'm honest it seems to be taking a bit longer to add the photos and put them in the right order....I'm sure like everything with practice I will find it easier.

Thank you for reading.

Topshop

£50

Review

Pro's: Good quality, soft to touch. Good fit; tight on arms and nice length to it. My favourite design.

 Urban Outfitters

£45

Review

Pro's: With the main colour being navy blue, it is slightly more low key than the other jumpers. Very sweet pattern and an added touch around the wrist.

 Gap

£35

Review

Pro's: There are an array of different colours to choose from, this was my favourite. A gorgeous design, very typical of Gap. Great fit;tight on the arms and wrist and nice short length. Soft to touch and reasonable price. You may feel like one of the Gap kids in the adverts.

 H&M

£29.99

Review

Pro's: Affordable, good fit on the arms but a bit baggy around the bottom (you get what you pay for). The most Christmassy colour and design; I feel like a Christmas cracker.

Marks & Spencer

£35

Review

Pro's: I love the reindeer on the front; so sweet. Great fit, good length and very soft. Warm use of colour, very complimentary. Good cost, my favourite on the high street.

We all know that Christmas is not Christmas without a bit of festive fashion fun! It just gets us in the mood and why not, we wait all year for it to come we might as well go all out and dress for the occassion.

The high street has really surpassed itself this year so relax, you don't have to worry about feeling awkward in one. I promise!

Christmas has just got a lot more fashionable....!

Swings 'n Tings

Good Monday everyone!!

How are we?

I'm feeling quite content today because my weekend was exactly what I wanted it to be;  Friday night socialising, Saturday morning coffee and papers in bed and looking at my favourite blogs on Bloglovin,  Sunday shooting photo's outside in the sunshine and Sunday evening 'Homeland' and 'Crickley house'.

I also have the new series of 'Peep Show' saved on record tonight....I can hardly contain my excitement!

Finally I got to use the swings for a blog post!  I was thankful the sun was out and there weren't any cues..!

I thought the Trapstar jumper and shirt together make the outfit quite preppie; now you get the swings idea?

Trapstar is a local brand, up on Portobello Road and everyone around here wears it. It's worth taking a look at the collection online, it's all pretty cool and Rihanna and Cara Delevigne are big fans too.

The denim skirt is from Sienna Miller's Twenty8twelve and the round collared shirt, Hobbs.

You can see my Nike trainers up close in my previous post.

The floral jeans are J Brand.

Don't Throw away Your Old Purchases before You Read This!

 

 

It's so frustrating spending money on something and only ever wearing it once. That's why I was so thrilled to be rocking these snake skin trousers once again!

I bought them from H&M a few seasons ago and I now feel it's their time to really shine.

I don't mind wearing old trends again because I try to wear them differently each time and as I haven't worn them for a good few months they feel brand new!

Today I am wearing this season's Margiela for H&M trainers, which I posted about a few days ago,  and instantly 

I have revived the snake skin!

I added a black blazer from H&M to smarten up.

TIP: I don't like to add to much colour when wearing bold prints, instead I keep it simple and subtle with a plain white t-shirt. A staple for the wardrobe; they can be worn with absolutely everything.

How do you like to revive your old purchases?

Get Ya Ruffles Out

Pink, ruffled dress vintage, boots The Dispensary , parka vintage, hat Portobello Market, tights Pretty Polly

I decided late last night that I have to show you my Auntie's pink dress and seeing as it's Friday today and Friday's are my new dress up day, it felt like the time was now (I may live to regret this).

I recently raided my grandmothers wardrobe (I usually do this at least once a month) and found the dress tucked away on the top shelf. It was calling my name. Except for my pink converse I don't think I have much else that's pink.

The inspiration behind this shoot was grunge girl vs. high school prom night. I like the juxtaposition of the heavy, dirty parka with black army boots.The  pretty polly 'hold up' tights are a bit cheeky but I think because the parka is so big and the dress not overtly sexy I can wear them.

Really fun for a shoot but I can't see when I would wear this delightful, sparkly numbher. My sweet 16 would have been ideal. Damn it....that's been and gone. Hhmmmmm my brothers sweet 16? Im sure he won't mind if I turned up in this. Actually, I think he would mind if I turned up full stop. I am NFI'd.

Here is the home made VIDEO from the shoot!!!

Likey?
