Menace

Top and Belt- New Look// Jeans- River Island// Bag- H&M// Shoes- Asos

Finally, after years and years of vigorously searching for the perfect pair of jeans, I have found them and they actually fit me. I mean, I don't even have to fold them up or anything AND they're high waisted. To say that I was over the moon when I snapped these up in River Island would be an understatement. (My fellow short limbed girls will know what I mean).

What types of jeans do you wear the most? Is there a particular style that you lean towards the most?

Moving on, I found these gorgeous Menace T-bar flats in the Asos sale for just £16 plus a further cheeky 10% off (thanks, Asos) and I already know just how much I'll be wearing them through Spring into Summer. So excited! Oh, and of course I threw on my beloved striped top to really complete the casual look.

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.

Cat Eyes

Note to self: need to start ironing my clothes. Oops

 Meet Doug!

 I lost that beautiful spiral ring down the woods. I was devastated. My heart is still breaking over it as I type this :(

Meet Betty the French Schipperke

 Gazing up to God.

Last but certainly not least, Jack the Jack Russel.

 

Cat Jumper- ASOS// Skirt and Chain Rings- H&M// Boots- eBay// Faux Fur Jacket- Market in Birmingham// 

Nail Polish- And Other Stories

How genius is this jumper? Elbow patches that come in the form of cats; bravo, ASOS, bravo indeed. I instantly fell in love with it when I saw Amy from The Little Magpie tweet about it. Little did I know that my ever so thoughtful boyfriend had noticed it on my instagram and had ordered it for me as an anniversary gift (which was last month). Chuffed is an understatement to describe how I felt when he handed it over to me. The fit is perfect and it's thickness is just about right for Spring which is a bonus. I paired it up with my most beloved Kenzo inspired skirt from H&M. The pairing of the short skater design and the long sleeves on the jumper allows me to play with different proportions, which I think is perfect for Spring as, let's be honest, it's still a little chilly out.

Speaking of which, on Friday we were blessed to have the most beautiful weather that we've seen so far this year, so Jay and I decided to take his dogs Jack, Doug and Betty for a walk down the woods (that lovely little Husky only came over to say hello and pose for a picture, cheeky). You might have noticed that I'm wearing my ankle boots but don't worry, I didn't actually go for a walk wearing those bad boys. I knew it was going to be super muddy down there so I was sensible and borrowed Jay's mums trainers. Trust me, the boots came straight back off as soon as Jay took the last photo.

I love nature and appreciate it's beauty and tranquillity so a day like Friday was just perfect for me. I'm just awaiting for the Summer to finally arrive where I can spend my days out in the sunshine exploring hidden gems around Swansea and Cardiff with Jay (and dogs).

Hope you're having a lovely weekend. What have you been up to?

Spring has Sprung

 

I'm nearly into the third week of my Easter break already and after piling on layers and layers of clothes to shield myself away from the coldness, I can officially say that the sun has finally come out to say hello :). Hooray! I'm so glad that every last bit of the snow has gone and that I can actually add more loose fitted shirts and peep toe shoes to my outfits again, although having suffered from this hideous cold I should still opt for more layers but I was too excited to see the sun and feel some warmth against my skin.

I wore to outfit to a little going away party that some of my parents friends organised for us. We're hoping to move to Cardiff soon, exciting times. I bought these peep toe shoes from River Island back in January and have been itching to wear them out, alas the perfect opportunity finally came. Teaming them up with casual, high waisted black pants and a simple white shirt tucked in kept the outfit on trend without trying too hard. As for accessories, I opted for a statement necklace which I think added interest to the whole outfit. I absolutely love accessories that enhance and add beauty to the neck, I always focus on that area through necklaces, collar chains and scarves. I hope you like this outfit. Is it sunny where you are? How have you been enjoying the sunshine?
