Outfit of the day

Last Saturday was a perfect Saturday.

Lie in, Bacon Butty, followed by meeting my school besties for coffee and a catch up!  I don't get to see them as much as I would like to, as they're all high flying wonder women. It was really great to seem them all and just be me plus it was the perfect excuse to wear my new blazer and bowler hat.

Here's my little ensemble I ended up wearing!

Dress: Miss Selfridge £28

Boots: Shoetique £25

Jacket: Primark £23

Hat: H&M £7.99

Necklace: Topshop £12.50

Rings: H&M £3.99 for 4

Black Midi: Forever21 £1.69

The owl dress is actually AW12, but I love it so much. It looks great with just a pair of legging and flats for the day or killer high boots for the evening. Plus it's covered in owls...a bonus as I'm slightly obsessed. 

I wore my fav Dior lippy to tie in with the dark mulberry shade of my necklace. I can't help myself. I have to match at least one thing! :)

Leather fix

When it comes to leather... I find people seem to be a bit scared of it. Yes it can be riskaaay, but played right, leather can the most seductive, sexy stylish fabric going. This season, leather will play a BIG part in the trends, whether worn subtly in the day or upping the anti at night. 

I thought I would have a quick shifty round the high street to give you the best leather buys for AW13!

EFFORTLESS Day Wear

Leather overalls

Leather Look Dungarees
Topshop
£55

Leather look dungarees are perfect to wear in the day with a patterned shirt and heels for work or slouchy tee and trainers. Casual, but stylish.

Biker Jacket

Anyone who is anyone has a leather jacket, but this years tweeks to the classic jacket is larger spikier collars, less studs and a side zip, contributing to a simple but true biker look.

Cut Out Boots

Leather boots NEVER go out of fashion... they're classic and let's be honest last forever. I wear mine to death. But this year boots have boots have took an alternative twist. They look a bit like old fashioned school shoes, but with more substance to them. I find them quite feminine, which is a nice change to the heavy studded biker boots from last season. Topshop have the best cutout boots this season, with the best cut prices.

Leather jeans/ jeggings

That's right, they're back. Whether you prefer a structured pair of skinnys or jeggings/ leggings that have a bit more stretch, they're here to stay this season. Pair them with some tartan or an oversized jumper and beanie for a slouchy, cool look.

Just another day in Paradise

Diary Entry 2:

 

The first day in Kenya, it was hot and humid! And I mean HOT!!! So with that in mind, I wanted something loose and pretty. I kept it quite simple with a baggy cami and swing skater, with my fav haviannas flip flops.

 

 

CAMI: H&M £3.99

SKIRT: Zara £19.99

BAG: Ralph Lauren (TKMAXX) £25.99

SUNNIES: Primark £2.50

 

 



    Haviannas: Selfridges £20.00         Messy Knots and Buns

 

 

I tied my hair into a loose knot on top of my head to keep it out of my face and to help with the tanning process of course. This is a really quick and easy way to do your hair - the messier, the better!

Robbie vs Olly

I was privileged enough to recently go and see Robbie Williams' gig along with the beautiful Olly Murs as warm up. Being a northerner, I went to see them at the Etihad stadium, which was outside and standing. Thankfully the weather held off and it turned out to be quite hot (especially if you were at the front of the stage bopping in the crowd).  

I literally didn't have long to get ready, as we had to be at the ground for 5pm, but being miss organised, I had already decided that week what I would be wearing. I wanted to have a festival vibe to my whole look without over doing it with head crowns and wellingtons. What do ya think?!?

Shirt: New Look £16

Skirt: Primark £8

Belt: Primark £2.50

Necklace: Primark £4

Bracelet: urban outfitters £12

Bag: H&M £12.99

Rings: Republic £6

PEACE Belt in the style of  Moschino

My fav bit about my whole look was my new "peace" belt. I originally wanted the Moschino belt but at £150, I just couldn't bring myself to spend that on such an unsubstantial item. When I saw this little gem in Primark for a mere £2.50, I couldn't resist and I've never had it off since. So if you take one thing from this post, go out and buy a block lettering belt whether it's the cheap version from primark or the expensive designer versions (if you're feelin' flush).... it will carry through into fall/winter!
