cut-outs

Hello, 
Just another quick ootd for you all - should probably apologise for the number of appearances this skirt is making on my blog, but eh, I'm OBSESSED.. anyways, on with the outfit- hope you can take some ideas/inspiration from it!

Top- newlook £7-ish, love the cut outs on the shoulder,  which give this basic a bit of 'oomph'
Skirt- brandy melville £28 (or there abouts..), definately a staple!
Tights- primark £2.50, loveeee the design, and the 'over knee' design is so flattering..

Although you cant see my shoes, I am wearing my navy blue docs :)

floral on floral

Hola..

Here's another quick OOTD for you- The sun made a slight appearance so brought out some spring/summer in my outfit. 
  As this is a travelling outfit, I haven't put any jewellery on (would usually go with my usual gold rings & chain). Also, would wear my leather jacket over the top.

Top: Brandy Melville 
Skirt- (? ..unsure sorry! it actually belongs to my sister)
Tights- Primark
Shoes-Cherry Red Doc Martens

crazy trousers

Hola!
I put this look together for an interview- I think its a good mix of standing out, but with a slight touch of formality.. hope you like it and can take some inspiration from it :) 

The trousers are from Tesco (I was just as suprised to find them in there!) and were £16. Although they're a pretty crazy print, because they're monochrome they are still easy to style and don't look TOO over the top.
The top is from H&M and was about £8. I love that it just looks like a plain black top, but then the sleeves are mesh with velvet polkadots. Its suchan effective touch, and jazzes up something that would otherwise be abit plain.
My shoes are patent, black, doc marten look-a-likes by Rocket Dog and I picked them up from TK Maxx for about £20 - a proper bargain!

I finished the look with my James Pringle 'Black Watch' tartan scarf, Dorothy Perkins faux-fur collared leather jacket, a navy bow from Claire's and my standard gold jewellery.

tartan scarf / LDN

Hello,
I have another quick OOTD for you - It was a travelling outfit as I had to come to london for a few days, very casual, simple, grungey and lacking colour - all standard for me! 
  My makeup is just my everyday makeup of darkened/thickened brows (using Sleek's brow kit in dark), a white/champagne eyeshadow of some sort all over the lid, with a darker (but still fairly neutral) colour on the outer third & crease, winged eyeliner, mascara & a tonal/minimalistic lipstick. 
a/n. although not pictured, with this outfit I wore black patent doc marten look-a-likes from Rocket Dog, that I got for £20 from Tk Maxx (if real Docs are a little out of your price range, seriously recommend checking out these dupes..SO comfortable, and you don't have to break them in).

The black dress, is actually a large men's DKNY (possibly pyjama) top that I got for £12 from TK Maxx.

My tartan scarf is James Pringle in the 'Black Watch' tartan, that came from ebay (apologies for not knowing the price- was an xmas pressie!)

My gold chain was £12 (I think) from Topshop, and the black/gold heart necklace was £5-ish from Accessorize.

My trusty faux-fur collared leather jacket, was £50 (or so) from Dorothy Perkins.

Baroque MTV?!?!

Hola, another quick/simple ootd.. I like looking at people's daily outfits for ideas, so even if I don't have the exact same clothing items as they're wearing I can think of similar ones I own and can go from there...hopefully I can give some of you some inspiration if you're in a rush and just can't think of what to wear one day, hahah!!

MTV Jumper, River Island, (£10 sale) ..its a size 16 but I personally prefer my jumpers baggy. I was so happy to find this design as SO many people had the MTV clothing but I hadnt seen anyone with this particular print :)

Leggings, H&M Kids, (£6, few years agp) ..you cant see in this picture but they're actually very subtle leopard print, in different shades of grey. It adds something to this outfit so its not boring, but not so much it becomes un-casual (if thats even a word...)

Navy Blue Docs, (£15, Ebay....BOOM!!) ..I adore my docs..they go with everything and I especially like this colour against the grey leggings; the patent finish also adds another texture to the look :)

Chain, Topshop (£6, sale) ..i love the 3 different colours within this particular chain making it more versatile & meaning it goes with more outfits (duhh..haha)

Leather & Lycra

Quick ootd..today I did a bit more christmas shopping and this outfit was perfect for it as it was casual & lightweight to wear, but kept me nice and snug!! My makeup is my usual base/simple eyes (although I swapped my loreal true match foundation for a maybelline bb cream, to give my skin a bit of a break!) & on my lips is rimmel's 'spice' lipliner & 'heather shimmer' lipstick :)

Outfit
Topshop disco pants, £30
Dorothy Perkins Leather Jacket (with faux fur collar), £55
Primark gold/oatmeal flecked lightweight jumper, £6
H&M charcoal scarf, £12 (or there-abouts!)

Hope you liked this look & it gave you some inspiration if youre stuck for ideas! :)
