Neutral Go To's

Top- Zara// Trousers- Uniqlo// Bag- Charity Shop// Sandals- Asos

Introducing you to my most favourite and trusted neutral go to's that are perfect for days when I am in a massive rush. There is nothing more perfect than wearing a crisp white top over the Summer, which can be paired with anything and everything. If I don't mind saying so myself, it's nice to have a break from my usual daily uniform of wearing black head to toe.

What are your go to staple pieces for days when you're in a rush? :)

Hope you're having a great week so far.

Fringe

Fringed Jacket- Boohoo// Top- Zara// Jeans- River Island// Bag- Next// Boots- eBay

Instant love at first sight when I saw this beautiful fringed jacket in the boohoo sale for just £8. Yes, £8. I woke up with the sunshine on my face and we've been blessed with the beautiful blue sky all day and yet, I insisted on wearing head to toe black. Don't ask. I have this beautiful, lacey cream dress from H&M that I've had for a while and I can't wait to pair it with this jacket when the weather is the most glorious. Sun, please don't leave.

Hope you've had a fabulous weekend.

Penny Lane

White Top- Zara// Dress- H&M// Shoes- ASOS

Following my recent move back to Cardiff from London, I am desperately trying to adjust back to a more simplistic lifestyle where my mornings don't start with pushing and shoving other commuters to get a seat on the tube to work. I'll be honest, I've always been someone who enjoys leaving their comfort zone and am not the biggest fan of the familiar. Although my three month internship in London is now over, I have every ambition to fully explore the lovely city of Cardiff and make the most of my time here. If you're from Cardiff or you know some haunts around the city that you can recommend, then please let me know. First things first: finding a job/career. Wish me luck.

Anyway, on to this little outfit of mine. I'd lusted over these beautiful Penny Lane shoes on ASOS for almost an hour before I decided to order them. Come on, a reduction from £45 to £13.50 AND free delivery, I'd be a fool not to, right? Although they're pretty comfortable to walk in, I have found myself almost taking a stumble a few times but I blame that on my inability to walk in heels than the design of the shoes itself. Of course I teamed the Penny Lanes with a black and white ensemble, I'm still obsessed.

Hope you're having a lovely week.

Autumn Wishlist #2

Horsing Around Sweatshirt- J.Crew// Checkered Trousers- Zara// Melina Cut Out Boots- Jeffrey Campbell// Stingray Trifold Bag- Alexander Wang// Ring Set- Just Acces.

Pullover- Cichic.com// Peter Pan Checkered Dress- Zara// Wool Cape- Zara// NARS Nail Polish in Galathee// Elephant Bangle- Simplysoles.com// MAC Lipstick in 'Indulge'// Cut Out Boots- Zara// Silver Boots- Zara

A little bleaker colour palette theme today in contrast to yesterday's sugary, pretty Wishlist. It's always refreshing to show some of the contrasts that creep up in the trends that we love. As I've mentioned, I used to dress head to toe in black, literally. Some of the gorgeous pieces that I've picked out here are reminiscent of some of the clothes that I wore during my GCSE days (especially the checkered Zara dress- just imagine that all black). I guess those were the days where I was channelling my inner Wednesday Addams, come on, what girl hasn't? 

Out of the items that I have compiled, I especially love the Alexander Wang bag (it belongs to me in my dreams, okay?), the Wool cape from Zara and the beige pullover from Cichic. It just looks so snug and warm. What I'd give to be snuggled up in it whilst 'Breaking Bad' is on and I'm demolishing my third cup of hot chocolate. Swoon!

I hope you're all having a lovely week so far. Comment below and let me know how your job/uni/school life is going. I'd love to know :)

Insect

Crop Top- Primark// Trousers- H&M// Flats- Zara// Belt- Forever 21// Necklace- Everours

What's this? We're three days into September and the weather is absolutely scorching. I almost regretted wearing this today, almost. If you've been reading my blog then you'll know that I am a sucker for statement pieces, especially necklaces, so when I saw this beautiful Mawi inspired necklace on the Everours website for just £3 I had to snap it up. I just can't resist a bargain. Speaking of which, I bought these lovely blue flats from the Zara sale for just a tenner about a month ago and haven't really had the chance to wear them. They're super comfortable and I know that I'll be wearing more than £10 worth out of them. So so excited for Autumn to come around.

Thank you to my lovely boyfriend for taking these photos :)

Hope you're all having a lovely week so far. Good luck to everyone who's started back in school or going off to Uni soon :)
