I decided to wear my hair up today and it you look closely you will see a tiny plait I got a few positive comments about it the pictures do not really show the detail very well.

Black with a Hint

Jacket Thifted, Dress Day Birger, Hat New Look, Boots Boo Hoo, Skinny Scarf Thifted

I brought this jacket a while ago from a thift store and I have not worn it yet so I decided to wear it teamed with a mint green jersey dress for a contrast. I put a piece of cut off leopard print tights around the brim of my hat for some interest. I can't wait for pay day on Friday I have a few things that I have seen that I want to get. I really want a pair of floral print harem trousers I have seen a fab pair on ASOS, I really want the H&M ones but I dont think we will get them here in the UK :(. I also want a tan belt to go with my shorts that I have picked for my uniform I have seen a nice one in H&M. What will you be buying on pay day?

Today was a family day my nephew is ten tomorrow so we all met up for lunch. We had a lovely meal and it was a real special day. So what to wear well it was a casual thing so I went for jeans I rarely wear jeans but they seemed the ideal thing for today I teamed them with lots of layering to give some interest I went for baby blue but of course I had to add some black I was not keen on the white sock so I went for black in the end. Hope everybody else has had a lovely day.

Tartan Misfit





Dress Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, Coat Topshop, Shoes Boo Hoo, Hat Day Birger

I met up with a friend today for lunch. I wanted to show off my Boo Hoo shoes with coloured tights so that you could see the detail of them so I teamed them with tartan tights. I love this dress I brought it last year (Jan 2009) in the winter sale it is from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel I love the shape of it and the see through material around the edges. It is still quite cold so I wore my Day Birger hat this is one of my favorite hats and I just love the plumage on the side it always adds drama to an outfit but the feathers do get in the way and is not practical when eating.

Glamourous Blog Award


Pippa From Clashing Times has given me this award she has such a cute blog with amazing personality and if you are a big fan of Topshop then this is where you need to go. Thank you Pippa


I am meant to write 10 things about myself but instead I am going to show you ten pieces that I want to wear for S/S10


I am going to be wearing shorts of all sorts of prints, fabrics, lengths and colours. I am really loving these Topshop floral ones and the Alexander Wang leather ones. I will team the floral shorts with the stripe bra top from Topshop with a tee under it. I am going to be wearing wedges and these ASOS ones are perfect especially teamed with socks most designers sent this look down there runways for S/S10. I am really looking forward to wearing a turban and think they will look awesome with shorts. Draping is also a big trend that I will be wearing who can forget that Burberry S/S10 show. I am going to embrace floral and this blazer from Topshop will work so well with dresses and shorts. I am also loving floral trousers and ASOS have these gorgeous ones. Finally that YSL ring a girl can dream and if I can get my hands on a spare £115 I will go straight to the Net a Porter website and order it.

London Calling





Today was well hectic I had a meeting in London . I had half an hour to spare so I popped into Topshop and H&M on Oxford Circus sadly I only had enough time to browse so no purchases were made. :(. I wore my new shoes from Boo Hoo and they were very comfortable they are a very good copy of the Topshop ones that retailed for £95.00 obviously they are a man made fabric but apart from this a spot on copy. I took inspiration from the boots and kept my outfit all black with gold accents.

Irresistible Blog


I received this award from Zanah from Mon Mode Blog check out her blog.

Now seven facts about myself

I love the winter months more than the summer. I love dressing for winter and I love nothing more than a cold fresh winters morning when the sun is low in the sky.

I have worn heels for so long I actually find it hard to walk in flats now.

My mum is a hairdresser and she cuts and colours my hair for me. My roots are done every 4 weeks and it is for free.

I work in a department store and I have been there for nearly eight years the time has gone so quick.

I am going to be an Auntie again in the summer :)

I could not live without my iPhone I would not give it up for anything.

One of my biggest dreams would be to own a vintage clothes shop.

Topshop Inspiration

Coat TSE TSE, Jeans Earl, Boots Topshop, Scarf Tara Jarmon, Boots Topshop

I saw this image from Topshop A/W09 campaign and saved it and I used it as today's inspiration I love the chic but casual look about it and seeing as I brought the boots the rest of the outfit was easy. I love the big pockets on the scarf and it keeps me so warm. We had more snow over night but when I took these pictures at 14.30 it was melting a little.

Snow Chaos


My walking outfit



My shop floor outfit




Skirt H&M, Top Boo Hoo, Coat Thifted, Hat House of Fraser, Belt River Island, Shoes Boo Hoo, Wellies Hunter, Cuff French Connection, Bag TK Maxx, Leg Warmers H&M


I had work today and my car was snowed in and the roads and public transport are not really functioning properly and seeing as I only live three miles away I knew I would have to walk in luckily my brother turned up and dropped me in to work so I only had to walk back. I had to come up with another chic but practical outfit especially as the temperature has not gone above freezing and I had to be comfortable to walk anyway this outfit was perfect and I got home home safely without slipping over or feeling cold. I am wearing my new top that I brought from Boo Hoo I love the structured shoulder and it went perfectly with my H&M skirt.


On the walk home the sun started setting and the lighting in the cemetery was amazing so I stoped and took some pictures.

Fun in the Snow

Jacket H&M, Trapper Hat H&M, Wellies Hunter, Jeans Topshop, Leg Warmers H&M

ASOS have featured me on there My Style My Way have a look here. As a big fan of ASOS I am really pleased.

Today I am off work and it is snowing really hard so there will be no outfit post as such. Unfortunately when it snows in the UK the whole country comes to a stop trains, buses, and airports stop running, roads and schools close so basically we just shut down and play in the snow :).

I am so pleased with my wellies I know they are black and you can get all different colours but they are patent and will go with everything and seeing that I will probably be living in them for the next couple of days that makes them perfect. Check them out for yourself here.

I love the cold





Jacket Gerard Darel, Boots Chanel, Belt River Island, Belt worn on wrist New Look, Ear Muffs Accessorize, Snood H&M, Knee High Socks H&M, Obi Belt Joseph


It was -5 when I woke up this morning and did not really warm up throughout the day I really do love this kind of weather I love layering and wrapping up warm. I thought warmth but still chic today so I thought seeing as I had not worn my Chanel boots since last winter I would pull them out I added the leopard print knee high socks that I brought last week over the top of a pair of black tights for extra warmth and a bit of a twist. The gold belt was a Christmas present from my friend Maria and works so well with this dress and I belted the leopard print jacket to give it a different silhouette. I kept my snood on all day as it was so cosy.
