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?

Hey everyone, hope you've had a lovely weekend and Remembrance Sunday. As a family, we started the day by going to church and then we made our way to Cardiff Bay for some lunch. My younger brother is home from Uni and his time with us makes me realise just how much I miss him. I'm so grateful for the time that we do get to spend together as a family, being able to go out for lunch with everyone there is something that we often don't appreciate or give much attention to.

Anyway, sorry about that. I guess the fact that it's Remembrance Sunday has made me a little emotional. So, on to this outfit. I am still obsessed with black but decided to add a pop of colour by pinching my sisters lovely Tartan jacket. It's so snug and I'm tempted to make it mine haha. To be honest, I'm not usually a fan of pairing black and red together. As they're both such bold colours I find that together, they look a little overwhelming but hey, that's just me.

Rose Pink

Top- Oh My Love// Trousers- Next// Jelly Sandals- Asos// Earrings- Everours

Ah soft, pastel pink! I felt like my 6 year old self when I ordered this adorably pretty rose mesh piece from Oh My Love. I've wanted this rose 3D mesh top for so long but just couldn't afford the AmericanApparel one so I'm very grateful that I grabbed this bargain for only a tenner. Cheers OML!

   

For some reason, I didn't wear it as much as I thought I would over the Summer, but as pink is the most dominant colour for this season I thought I'd give this top extra love. 

I'm still the biggest fan of anything high waisted as they actually make me feel like I have long legs haha. 

How's your week going? :)

The Two Piece

Two Piece- Signature by Primark via eBay// Crop Shirt- Select// Shoes- Primark// Earrings- Everours

How gutting, I managed to find this gorgeous two piece from ebay after spending the whole Summer looking for one. Typical! Haha. Thankfully, it's still quite warm and the rain today hasn't been too temperamental so I can still get away with wearing this. What draws me to the two pieces the most is how it looks so effortless and yet you still manage to look like you've put some thought into what you're wearing. Just the right amount of effort and chic without looking like you've tried too hard. These gorgeous earrings are from Everours and I managed to snap them up for only 50p. Oh, hello bargain.
I'm currently trying to invest in a two piece that mainly consists of high waisted trousers and a crop top. Here's to hoping that I find a perfect one before Christmas. *Fingers crossed.*

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

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 :)

Bay

Shirt- Select// Trousers- H&M// Sandals- ASOS// Bag- Primark// Collar Chain- Everours//

How time flies! I can't believe it's been over 3 years since I opened the tiny brown envelope that contained my A level results. Scary! Well my younger brother did just that yesterday and I'm happy to say that he passed his exams with flying colours and will be going to uni from September. I'm over the moon for him, he's got one very proud sister :)
To celebrate we went for a family meal at Cosmos in Cardiff Bay. Such a delightful buffet that caters to everyone. I definitely recommend it to anyone who's visiting the Bay.
I've wanted a loose, shirt cropped top for ages and when I saw someone walking around River Island wearing one, I literally followed her around and asked her where she got it from. I couldn't resist. How amazing to think that this little beauty was only £8 from Select? Yep, you've guessed it, I marched out of River Island and dived straight into the first Select store to purchase this. Yay! 
The theme of the white trend is still very much so apparent for me, I'm afraid. I picked up this gorgeous, delicate Rosary bead-esque collar chain from Everours for just 50p. I do love a good bargain :)
Hope you like the outfit and you're enjoying what's left of the Summer. If you got your A Level results yesterday then I hope you got what you wanted/needed/deserved :) Best of luck to the next batch of freshers. Pour it up, pour it up.

PS. Sorry about my bra :(

The Colour Red

Dress- Everours// Blazer- Forever 21 via eBay// Shoes- Primark

After drooling over Victoria Beckham's S/S 13 Ready to Wear Collection, my adoration for the colour was restored. It's bold statement and the way it instantly makes you feel glamorous are just a few of the reasons why I love the colour so much.

Dress- H&M// Shoes- New Look// Collar tips- Everours // Blazer-Clothes Show (about 5 years ago) // Nails- W7 in shades 34 White and 31 Silver

Ahh white! As I'd already mentioned here, I am very much so a fan of the 'white' trend for this season. It's just too pretty and crisp (even my nails look all tippexy)! Today, I went to Tidworth to visit my lovely friend and her new born son. How adorable :) 
I bought this white dress in the H&M sale a few months ago for just £7 and love it's versatility. As I wanted to opt for a more casual look, I decided to chuck my blazer with the most beautiful lavender tone botanical print on top. After all, I still have this hideous cold but I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has wished me well. You're so sweet :)
If you follow me on instagram, you'll be pretty bored of the array of zoomed in photos that I post of collar details on my outfits haha. Yep, I have an obsession with collar tips/chains, statement necklaces, brooches, bowties etc. So when I saw these adorable cat collar tips on Everours, I knew I had to get them. Oh and did I mention that they were only £2? Amazing! Love a good bargain. Hope you like the way that I've styled them.
