#OOTD 26th July Yoga Now, Wine Later

I'm definitely a trend-driven dresser but I like to put my own spin on the trends, after all, nobody wants to look exactly like everyone else!







Jeanssweatshirtmules all ASOS.

Can we take a moment to appreciate these jeans? I picked these ASOS 'Thea Girlfriend jeans' up in the sale for an amazing £11! I usually struggle to find loose jeans that fit me properly, but I took a chance on these and it definitely paid off. Black jeans are such a staple and these are something a little different from my usual skinny style. 

For a relaxed weekend look, I'm a big fan of sweatshirts and ASOS have a great selection in at the moment. With these quirky slogans on, they just add a little extra to a really basic piece.  

I've been interning at Exposed Magazine in Sheffield all Summer so far and I've been wearing heels A LOT, these mules are great for giving my feet a much needed break over the weekend. They are a perfect dupe of these Narciso Rodriguez Athena mules and at only £20 they are the perfect way to stay on trend without over-spending.

#OOTD Tuesday 19th May, The Denim Tank






Top, ASOS. Culottes, New Look. Adidas trainers, similar here

I spotted this denim tank on the ASOS site and I just had to order it. I'm loving all things denim at the moment, it's such a staple fabric. This top is so versatile, which is what you need in denim. I'll be wearing it all Summer with more denim or with some printed shorts and gladiator sandals. I've styled it here with a bit of a laidback, sporty vibe. These tailored culottes have become such a staple in my wardrobe; I've worn them on nights out and on casual days at uni. 
My style is changing so much at the moment, one half of me wants to wear all sorts of quirky outlandish pieces and then the other half wants to dress all sophisticated and Scandi-inspired in luxe neutrals and basics. Does anybody else have this problem?

#OOTD Monday 18th May, Boho Babein'











Jumpsuit, H&M. Sandals, River Island (similar here). Bag, Primark (last year, similar here).

I love jumpsuits because they are just instant outfits, all you really need to add is a pair of shoes and you are good to go. I especially love this jumpsuit because I picked it up in H&M when it was on special offer at £10! How crazy is that? I know this will be a staple in my wardrobe all Summer. 
Can we just take a moment to admire my sandals? I loved them for a long time before buying them but I just wasn't so sure I would wear them. I tried them on and fell in love! The heel is the perfect height and they are surprisingly comfy. What with this seventies revival and everything I thought they were the perfect shoe to add a little retro vibe to any outfit. This wooden block heel clog style shoe is everywhere at the moment, Topshop have some great options if you are looking for a lower heel than these. 

Are you loving or hating the clogs comeback? Leave me a comment!

#OOTD Sunday 17th May, Champagne Diet

I've been eyeing up this sweatshirt on ASOS for weeks and I've finally bought it! It might seem odd to be buying a sweatshirt so close to Summer, but as us British are well aware, our Summers aren't always reliably sunny and hot! Also, the nude colour is so classic that it's definitely trans-seasonal. 








Sweatshirt, ASOS. Skirt, ASOS. Mules, Primark (similar here).

I first saw this skirt on Instagram and I just had to have it. Lightwash denim is perfect for Spring/Summer and I love the unique styling, it's not just your usual denim skirt. The d-ring detail is also a great touch. The wind was ridiculous when I shot this, I hope my hair doesn't look too much like I've been dragged through a hedge. Speaking of hair, I'm very seriously entertaining the idea of chopping mine into either a 'lob' or a more mid-length style like my fave Kendall Jenner... What do you think? I just think a change is in order!

#OOTD: 27th April, Sporty Stripes

First of all I must apologise for my month-long hiatus. I was feeling pretty uninspired for a while and I needed to sort out the other areas of my life before getting back to blogging. The good news is I've had a very productive month and I'm full of inspiration again, so watch this space!

I shot this sports luxe look a few weeks ago, it's the perfect transitional outfit. I've become obsessed with wide leg and flared trousers too, they are so flattering! 







The great thing about this outfit is it's versatility. These trousers could easily be worn with trainers for a more 'off-duty'/weekend vibe, or even better swap the t-shirt for a crisp white shirt and the look is more appropriate for work. I snapped these trousers up in the Zara sale so unfortunately they are sold out now, but there are plenty of similar styles herehere and here. 
Slogan tees and bags are also huge this Spring; my Zara t-shirt actually reads 'I'd Rather Be Shopping', which is me all over! 

How would you style wide leg trousers? Leave me a comment!

#OOTD: 27th March 2015, Seventies Platforms

I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with suede. There, I said it! I've gone and bought another suede skirt but this one is extra beautiful so it was necessary. I'm also completely obsessed with this whole seventies vibe, as you are probably very aware. I can't get enough of platforms, flares and suede, it's definitely my favourite look for Spring.













Jumper, H&M (similar here). Skirt, Beyond Retro. Boots, Topshop (old, similar here).

How pretty is this skirt? I can't wait to wear it over the Summer with platform sandals and a t-shirt. Although I'm already tall, I couldn't resist these Topshop boots, they are veeeery high though so not for the clumsy or faint-hearted! 
I think transitional outfits are always the the hardest because you can never really predict the weather, but layers are key. You can always add or take off a jacket or knit so they are ideal to pair with bare legs at this time of year.
