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.

Lana

Shirt- Forever 21// Jeans & Boots- River Island// Belt- New Look// Rings- H&M// Bag- Charity Shop// Earrings- Everours

Here is an example of one of the many perks of listening to Lana del Rey- Blue Jeans first thing in the morning. Yes, I know it's so literal but I love casual Fridays and have never been so happy to spend a whole day out in Cardiff sans a jumper or jacket. Sun, please stay out for us.
My favourite thing about these high waisted jeans is that they make me look a little taller, teeny weeny taller. I look at least 5"4, right? No?

Hope you've had a great week. Happy Friday! Any plans for the weekend?

Dress- New Look// Bag- Charity Shop// Shoes- Asos

Last week I had a little mooch around the shops without having any intention of making new purchases, I joke. I was totally looking for new dresses to wear over the Summer and I managed to find just that and it came in the form of this pretty, navy smock dress from New Look. Want to hear the best part? I picked it up for just a fiver, oh and it was from the 915 section so technically it was designed for a 14 year old girl. Sad to accept that at aged 22 I can still fit into teenagers clothes. Sigh!

I decided to team the dress up with my beloved Penny Lane platforms from Asos. I should mention that my generous boyfriend got me these as a replacement to my original pair which got hideously ruined on a night out, but more on that another time.

I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and haven't been blown away by the vicious wind. It is genuinely scary out there.

Peep

Shirt- Charity Shop// Trousers- Uniqlo// Shoes- River Island// Rings- H&M

I was awoken by the sun peeping through my blinds which instantly made me happy and made me want to wear these peep toe lace ups from River Island. I'm so excited to be packing away my boots and welcoming my peep toes and sandals back into my life. Hooray.
This white shirt was just sitting beautifully in the charity shop near my house and I just knew that I couldn't leave the shop without this stuffed inside my bag. It has a slight pussy bow detail but I prefer it untied for some reason.

Mustard

Jumper- H&M// Shirt- Charity Shop// Trousers- Uniqlo// Brogues- Primark// Brooch- Forever 21// Turquoise Ring- Black Tied// Gold Ring- Topshop

Ahh mustard: so gorgeous and the perfect transitional Autumnal shade from a Summery neon yellow. If you've been reading my blog for a while then you'll know that I'm a big fan of ember tones and mustard definitely fits into that group of pantone colours. It's also a great way to inject some colour into your Autumn wardrobe without looking too bright.

I chose this gorgeous turquoise ring from Black Tied purely because of it's colour. It adds that effortless boho look to into any outfits and wonderfully compliments anything and everything that you team it up with. So I know that I'll definitely be wearing it into Spring and Summer too.

Hope you're having a lush weekend. Did you end up doing much for Halloween?

Burgundy

Dress- Boohoo// Shirt- Charity Shop// Shoes- Boohoo

I wear this super sweet little number from Boohoo quite often so I'm not sure how/why I've never dedicated a blog post to it. Apart from the gorgeous burgundy colour and the most playful African inspired motifs, the subtle pleats and length are what drew me into buying the dress. Layering is one of my favourite Autumn trends and I can do just that with this dress. Today I decided to team it up with my proudest Charity shop purchase to date.
Also, I must apologise for my lack of posts lately. I've had a hideous cold and migraine and am still on the road to recovery. Hope you've all had a lovely week. Any plans for the weekend?

Elephant

Dress- Primark// Sandals- New Look// Bag- Charity Shop

I spent the day in Longleat Safari Park with my boyfriend and my lovely friends Cari and Nam. Double date ahoy! We all felt like big kids there, we had so much fun walking around and exploring the different species of animals that were kept there. If you've ever been or are thinking of going then I'd highly recommend the bus and boat tours but more of that to come on my next post :)

Again, the weather today was absolutely boiling. I'm glad I opted for this grey Primark dress in favour of my first choice of jeans and a baggy jumper (crazy, I know). I bought this dress during my second year in Uni and love it's versatility and simplicity- the colour, cut, length etc the list goes on and on.

Hope you've had a lovely day :)

KUT

Shirt- Charity Shop// Trousers- Primark// Shoes- Primark

Hello lovely people! How have you been? I hope you're feeling a lot better than I am, I've managed to catch a cold and I'm currently sat here snuggled up in my robe with a mug of green tea. Yep, I'm feeling so so sorry for myself right now. Looking at these pictures that were taken during the Kut* in London, makes me wonder how I managed to catch this hideous cold when the weather was so bliss and my limbs were coated in fabric. Too odd!

Anyway, enough of that! As you may know, I'm all about mixing and clashing patterns as of late but there is nothing that I love more than a simple, plain, white shirt. To think that I used to HATE buttoning them up at 7 AM every morning during my school days.

Hope you're having a great week! :)

Yellow Roses

Dress- Charity Shop // Necklace- Primark

Just a quick outfit post to show you what I wore for my sister's birthday in Camden :) There's nothing that I love more than a pretty, yellow Summery dress, it just instantly makes you happy! My sister picked this up from a Charity Shop for only £1 and you know that I'm a sucker for a great bargain. Speaking of which, I teamed it up with my Primark necklace that I only paid £4 for. Amazing!
Hope you have a great week ahead :)
