#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, 22nd March 2015. The Flare

On Sunday my family and I went for a carvery for a belated Mother's Day meal. I took this as an opportunity to wear my new Mango flares - bought via ASOS. I already have a pair of dark indigo flares from ASOS but obviously, a light wash is also a Summer essential. I just need a black pair and then I've hit the trifecta!














Flares, ASOS. Top (old H&M), similar here. Mules, Primark. Bag, Kate Spade. Sunglasses, Michael Kors (via TK Maxx).

I didn't actually intend to blog this outfit until I saw the gorgeous landscape in from the pub car park, and since it was such a beautiful day I thought I'd better take advantage! 
I love these flares, they are so comfy and have a very relaxed feel to them. I've never bought jeans from Mango before because I always assume they would be too short (I'm 5ft 11) but they are the perfect length! And they are only £22 on ASOS at the moment so grab a bargain while you can! I dug this t-shirt out of the back of a drawer but I think it lends a little hippy vibe to the look. Lace t-shirts are great because they can be dressed up or down. These mules were bought from Primark last year, but mules are so big right now you can buy a pair almost anywhere. I love how versatile they can be, and they are also really comfy.
I think I will be living in flares this season so keep an eye on my blog for more flare action this week. I wondered at first what shoes to wear with them because platform boots aren't exactly ideal for me; I tend to wear mine with heeled sandals and also pretty flats. Follow me on Instagram (@kelsiee94) to see how I style them daily. 


Also, I'm having a Spring clean and I'm selling lots of items on Depop, so take a look and grab a bargain! I'm open to offers, username @kelsm. I'll be adding more over this week.

#OOTD, 2nd March, The Dungaree Dress

Denim is easily one of the most wearable trends for the new season and as you can probably tell I'm loving it - my insta feed is awash with shades of blue at the moment! 

Since it's still pretty chilly I've paired this cute denim dress with my favourite ASOS fur scarf, and right now it's an absolute bargain at £12!  











I picked this dress up from Primark last year, but there are soo many similar to this hitting stores right now; keep a lookout in Miss Selfridge, ASOS and New Look. I thought I'd go for an Alexa Chung vibe with this look and patent loafers are an absolute wardrobe staple. This exact New Look pair are sold out but this pair is pretty similar. 

I've been thinking of cutting my hair into the style of the moment, the 'lob', so I've been experimenting with a hair tuck. Rosie H-W, Jourdan Dunn and Kendall Jenner make the style look so chic I'm almost convinced! Although, I would definitely grow out my fringe before chopping all my hair off, a messy centre parting is essential for the 'lob' to look perfectly undone.

#OOTD, 10th February, New Semester New Season

It may not feel like Spring  outside yet, but Spring has definitely sprung on the high-street! There are a few little hints of the new season in my ensemble today, but it's still too cold to go coat-less!
Today was my first day back at uni after the longest Christmas holiday and I was feeling rather fresh, so I went for lighter colours.








Shirt, ASOS. Jumper, ASOS (similar here). Bag, DKNY Active (sold out). Jeans, Topshop. Adidas trainers, ASOS

As always I'm wearing my trusty Joni jeans again but one of my New Years [Style] Resolutions is to experiment more with clothes so watch this space! How cute is this bag? I saw it in the ASOS sale and I had to have it - hello double denim! Winter is all about layering for me and I love the fit of this boyfriend shirt because it's long enough to layer under a knit, and it's also striped which I can't get enough of lately. 

I also think I need to start doing things with my hair: the bed head look is getting old! If anyone has any easy tutorials or styles then leave me a comment because I need some inspiration!

I have to thank my bestie Shannon for taking these photos for me in the Sheffield Peace Gardens, although I'm not sure I like posing for photos in a busy public place!

#OOTD: 5th January 2015, The Shearling Coat of Dreams

This is my first post of 2015, so happy new year to you all! I hope you all had an amazing 2014 and are ready to kill it this year!
I don't know about anyone else but I had such a busy December that I'm hoping my January is quiet and hassle-free. My January is all about chilling out, so get ready for some casual looks on the blog this month. 
Today's outfit is just really cosy, I'm trying to keep the frost out! I've wanted a shearling coat for months and months but I've never really found one I loved - except the Topshop beauty that was around £500! But just before Christmas I was trawling through the ASOS sale and low and behold this gorgeous coat came up... At half price! So obviously I ordered it immediately, at £45 I couldn't say no.





Coat, ASOS. Hat, ASOS. Jumper, Topshop. Bag, Topshop. Jeans, Topshop. Boots, River Island

The coat is just so snuggly and warm, it's definitely my new favourite! I wanted it to look oversized so I ordered a 14, this was also mainly so it would be long enough in the arms so if you are tall I'd recommend ordering a size up. The pug hat is also a recent sale buy from and it's just so cute! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you'll already know I'm obsessed with pugs. 
The jumper unfortunately is not in the sale! It comes in so many colours that I was looking forward to stocking up, but never mind. This is the 'Mustard' colour and I don't really ever wear this colour so I thought I'd experiment and I'm glad I did, I love it! Also, the shape is really flattering, it oversized enough to hide the Christmas bloat but it's not too baggy. I'll definitely be buying more colours.  
I bought these boots way back in October and they are the perfect winter boots. The cleated sole means they actually have a little grip on the ice and they are fleece lined for extra snuggliness. The black pair are sold out but I've put up a link for the grey ones which are equally lovely!
