Horizontal



Monochrome stripes are everywhere at the moment so I dug out this black and white top from the back of my wardrobe (it’s a good job I never thow anything away). To make bring it up to date I threw it over a baggy pair of Asos leather dungarees. I then styled it with a little pair of H and M white pointed wedges that I got in the sale for £7 !

My jewellery is a random mix, the necklace is from Religion at Asos.

My favourite places to shop the black and white trend are :
Zara
Topshop
And Mango

#Globalstyler



I was so pleased when Boohoo contacted me asking for me to be part of the Global Styler Campaign/competition.

I chose these amazing trousers from their site and styled them in a way I felt was on trend. As you can see I then photographed my outfit holding the Global Styler bubble.

You too can enter the competition to gain the chance of winning a trip of a lifetime:

To enter all you have to do is take a picture of yourself wearing boohoo and holding the boohoo speech bubble (which you can download from the site or comes in all boohoo packages from this week onwards!) and hashtag it with #globalstyler on instagram or twitter! One lucky winner will win a holiday for themselves and a friend to a destination of their choice!! What’s more, if a blogger wins, they will also get £1000 boohoo vouchers to keep or giveaway to their readers! So make sure you get tweeting and instagramming your photos too for your chance to win!

For more information on how to enter see here

Good luck

I would like to introduce you to my Tumblr. I decided to create one as I wanted a place to post inspiration and ideas.

I also have an “ask me anything” section, so have a look (here). Look forward to chatting with you

Blue Coat




I loved this coat from the moment I saw it on the H and M website; its bold without being in your face and beautifully classic yet edgy.

After looking at it for months and it going in and out of stock, I decided as it came back in my size to just get it (it helped that I had 25% off as well).

Here I have styled it with a simple sweatshirt from TK Maxx men’s department and a leather look skater skirt from Primark.  The necklace is H and M and the boots were a Christmas present.

I really like the casual and dressy elements of this outfit.

Thanks to all my new followers for clicking follow!! Hope you like my blog and let me know if there is anything you would like to see in the future :)

MMM for H&M



I loved the Maison Martin Margiela collaboration with H & M, I'm a fan of his deconstructed minimal silhouettes . I was one of the very eager people who sat at my computer at exactly 9am and waited to be allowed onto the website to grab any items they had left.

I managed to get two out of three of my favourite pieces from the collection; this cashmere oversized navy jumper and the key chain chocker necklace.

I wanted to keep the outfit simple and paired these two items with a pair of Cheap Monday knee boots. Knee boots have been creeping back into style over the AW months (favourites being the Givenchy leather shark tooth boots).   

I tried a different layout with my pictures, what do you think ?

Suit Up



This suit was one of my January sale buys, by Mango from Asos.  I loved the all over prints this A/W championed by Prada. The blue and white make the suit young and fresh, here I have teamed it with a simple black Topshop T-shirt and Bronx strappy sandals.

The silver necklace is one of my mum’s first designs of silver jewellery; I love the simple shield shape.
